The Absolute Speed of a Certain Comic 139

Title: Invincible Skill— Unyielding

“So you’re not dead yet?”

Lefiya quickly ran to Hoshiharu’s side.

Seeing his twisted limbs, blood streaming down his body, and most of his armor destroyed, Lefiya felt relieved when she noticed that Hoshiharu was still breathing steadily, and she sat down on the ground in relief.

“...Don’t curse me... Take the Elixir...”

Hoshiharu wanted to glare at her, but his whole body was in pain, and he didn’t want to move at all.

Moreover, his eyelids felt heavy, his brain’s ability to process information was gradually slowing, and he felt like he could lose consciousness at any moment.

If it were him in the past, he would have passed out immediately after using Lightning Flint, but now his physical strength had greatly increased. Even though he was facing Goliath, who was tougher than steel, he could still stay conscious.

But now he had “Unyielding.”

Even with nearly fatal injuries, he could continue to fight. Under the unique skill that allowed him to keep battling, he could maintain his consciousness without fading away.

Lefiya quickly took out a crystal bottle from her pocket, uncorked it, and planned to pour it over Hoshiharu.

“Wait a moment, let me handle it!”

Line quickly called out from behind.

“When using an Elixir, the bones need to be aligned first, or it could cause deformities!”

Startled, Lefiya immediately handed the Elixir to Line.

“Brace yourself for the pain.”

Line gently comforted Hoshiharu, then swiftly straightened his twisted limbs with her hands.

“UGH!”

Hoshiharu groaned, sweat dripping from his forehead.

A true man should be able to endure bone scraping and poison without uttering a word!

But her technique was so professional that he suddenly felt more alert!

After aligning the bones, Line poured the colored potion from the bottle and evenly spread it over the broken bones on his body.

At the same time, she also began chanting healing magic, continuously pouring snow-white magical light onto Hoshiharu.

“Well, with this, your life is at least safe, and there won’t be any lasting symptoms.”

Two minutes later, Hoshiharu’s condition seemed to improve. Line sighed in relief, wiped her sweat, and suggested to the two of them.

“Let’s head to the 18th Floor first and buy potions to help Hoshiharu recover faster.”

Hoshiharu’s injuries were too severe. One bottle of Elixir could only pull him out of a critical state, and it would take time for its effects to fully manifest. Combining it with other medicines could help Hoshiharu recover as quickly as possible.

“Listen to Line.”

Lefiya felt like she didn’t understand much, so she quickly nodded.

“I’ll carry him!”

Lefiya stepped forward, handed her staff to Line, then helped Hoshiharu’s body, carrying him on her back, and quickly walked towards the corridor.

“Lefiya?”

Line was initially a little surprised, then she covered her lips and chuckled.

Elves are a very proud race.

They are very protective of their bodies and rarely expose much skin, which is the opposite of Amazonesses. Moreover, they hate being touched by others.

Unless it’s someone they deeply recognize from the bottom of their hearts.

In a daze.

Hoshiharu dreamt. Countless tentacles extended from the depths of darkness, tightly binding his body, making him unable to move no matter how hard he struggled; he couldn’t break free.

“Oh, how disgusting!”

Frustrated, Hoshiharu suddenly woke up from his dream.

He was sweating, what a nightmare.

After opening his eyes, what he saw was a very simple hotel room.

It was like setting up a tent directly inside a cave, with the ceiling and walls made of damp stone, and underneath, there was a hard slate bed. The entrance to the cave consisted of a leaky wooden door and a rough gray cloth that formed the main entrance to the room.

Simply put, if someone with rheumatism lived here, their limbs would already hurt.

Hoshiharu just wanted to get up, but found that he couldn’t move.

When he looked down, he realized that his whole body was tightly bound with bandages.

“No wonder I had a dream like that.”

Hoshiharu quickly shook his head and threw the cold and strange dream to the back of his mind.

“Huff...”

At that moment, a faint breathing sound reached his ears, making him look towards the edge of the bed.

An Elf was lying beside the bed, her long golden-orange hair unbound and spread out on the edge of the bed, combined with her peaceful and beautiful sleeping face, making her look incredibly beautiful for a moment.

Next to her, Line was also lying there, breathing steadily through her cherry-like lips.

Hoshiharu thought about it.

After defeating Goliath last night, the three of them came to the 18th Floor to heal him. However, not long after entering the 18th Floor, he passed out from Lefiya’s hurried steps.

“Um... Hoshiharu-san, are you awake?”

Woken up by Hoshiharu’s movements, Lefiya rubbed her sleepy eyes, unable to hide the confusion in her expression.

“How is your body feeling?”

Line woke up unconsciously and after stretching, she immediately asked about Hoshiharu’s condition.

“The flesh wounds should be almost healed, but the broken bones... still feel a bit worse.”

Hoshiharu lay on the only bed, carefully feeling the state of his entire body.

After all, he had broken many bones, and to have them all heal in just one night was already a testament to the powerful Elixir, with Line’s magic playing a major role as well.

“Where is this?”

Unable to move his head, he shifted his gaze to look around the surroundings, “It doesn’t look like Orario... Is this the 18th Floor?”

“Yes, this is the 18th Floor, Rivera Street, built by adventurers.”

Line stood up, stretching her stiff body, then walked towards the door.

After pulling aside the dusty curtain, daylight streamed in from the corridor, barely illuminating the dim room.

“It seems it’s already morning.”

Line glanced at the corridor outside the door, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, “Let’s go out and buy some Recovery Potions. With a few more potions, Hoshiharu’s wounds should heal better.”

“I’ll go too.”

Hoshiharu wriggled like a worm and sat up from the bed.

“The injuries to my legs should be almost healed, and there shouldn’t be any problem going out.”

Line looked reluctant, but Hoshiharu was very insistent.

He knew his body well. After a night of intensive treatment, the only remaining injuries were the broken bones.

The worst part was probably in his left shoulder and right arm. Almost all of the comminuted fractures were there. It was difficult to treat them in the dungeon. He had to return to the surface and use Elixir to heal them.

Fortunately, he didn’t suffer a major injury, and his spine was fine. This could only be considered a blessing in disguise. The training during this period had yielded excellent results, and he also had to thank Tiona for her support with the armor.

His legs were almost healed, and walking around wasn’t an issue at all.

If this were in the world of Rakudai Kishi, if he went to a Healing Capsule, he would be up and about as soon as he woke up. Unfortunately, the medical level in this world wasn’t as advanced as in the world of Rakudai Kishi. Now he could only hold on until he returned to the surface. It wasn’t too late for systemic treatment.
