Healing Liquid

nder the night sky, the valley was tranquil.

The three surviving people look at the young man with shocked expressions and muted mouths.

They were an inch away from a very terrifying end, but somehow they were saved miraculously!

This is especially true for the girl named Aizu.

"Who are you!?" the girl said in a hoarse voice. She looked at his thin body and mysterious eyes.

But the young man didn't respond and simply looked at the beast's dead body in his own thoughts. The other two in the distance sighed in huge relief; at least they didn't have to be eaten anymore.

White looks at the surroundings and the dead beast. He had been in this place for some time and watched the girl and the beast fight. He knew its strength but as he saw the girl was about to be eaten, weighing the advantages and disadvantages, he decided to save her.

Although he didn't know anything about the beast, he could guess that the beast's strength existed in a scope that he could still be content with, not to mention it couldn't seem to utilize any abnormalities superpowers.

He knew he couldn't directly confront it in strength so he waited for a chance and struck when its guard was laking. Although his body was thin and weak and not fit, he was able to muster enough strength to lacerate into its flesh.

Normally, he would just watch from the sideline without interfering but he needed someone who had a common knowledge of the world right now.

'They have a trait of a spiritual being but they are very different and lacking.' White thought looking at the body of the beast and he also glazed at the sword of his.

'The sword outperformed my expectation.' He had thought he was gonna have some trouble cutting through the beast but to his surprise, this sword was to sharp to be normal!

He was starting to like this sword even more!

Glancing at the girl who was nearly separated into two, he knew it would take some time for her to recover to speak, 'Guess I have to wait till morning.'

On another place.

People were gathered in groups; setting up fires, tents, and readying for the night. These people were different from everyone till now, as they all wore the same outfit, which was beautifully designed black clothes with a beautiful emblem of an old mirror.

There were both males and females in the group, each one with their own weapon and carrying out their duty.

As they prepared for the night, on the corner of the camp was a boulder, on which sat a young girl silently.

The night sky was vast, the moon and stars painted the black firmaments and she sat gazing upon them with a longing expression.

The girl wore a pure white attire, complementing her beautiful silky silver hair and eyes that were as bright as the waning moon on the silent dark sky. Her face looks beautiful and soft as she smiles into the sky.

"Princess, the food is prepared and cooked, would you like to join the others or would you prefer to have it in your private tent?" A handsome youth approached from the group and said respectfully. The man had white hair and determined eyes made him different from the others.

The girl sitting on the boulder who the youth called princess, turns her head, replying with a smile: "Of course, I would be joining you guys, why should I eat separately when I can eat with you all?"

The white hair youth seemed to have expected the answer and nodded but he didn't leave, and continued, "Princess I received news from the family."

"Hmm.. news? Do tell Freed." She was surprised and curious. The family wouldn't send any news if it wasn't important.

The young man named Freed cleared his throat before recounting the first news.

"Oh?! The Golden Princess had done that!" Surprised flashed in her eyes at his words, "It seems she must have finally snapped."

"My exact thought, the Family doesn't want princess anywhere near her," said Freed.

"There should be more information, right? The family wouldn't send such an expensive massage just for that." said as she looked to the side before turning to him with a piercing glaze.

Freed shuddered and hurriedly said:

"Princess, it's more of a command than news. Something big has happened to some parts of The Boundaries when the second trial started, as for what, the family refused to divulge any information but they command that whatever happens, never use your Blessing on anyone after awakening it!" 

"On anyone? But why?" She questions the man.

"Princess, They told me to inform you that, the Head Diviner fell into an unknown state after trying to perform something about the caused."

"!!!"

At this moment, the girl falls into an inexplicable solemnity, she reveals a frown thinking of the things that may be involved. 

"You may leave," she said lightly.

Freed bow, and went back to the group.

The girl's mood had changed upon hearing the news, 'What in the world is going on? Last year that thing happened and this year this…'

She took out her black token; that was displaying her information:

Participent - 1011111

Liss. Age-15

Unity - 9%

'I want to return home fast.' she thought looking at her token.

Then she went back to looking at the stars in the night sky, but there was an unknown disturbance in her eyes.

White walked in the dark jungle that was faintly illuminated by the moonlight.

He had originally planned on resting and wouldn't have come out after witnessing such a beast, but that girl who fought the beast said something he couldn't ignore.

After going around the trail with blood on it; he finally saw a small pouch about the size of a fist.

'Got it!'

On the valley, two bloodied figures were tending to the body of Aizu. Although they were also seriously injured it wasn't as serious as this girl.

Suddenly, the sound of a person's footsteps can be heard behind their back.

Suffering serious trauma from the mad beast, the two look back in panic, but they only see a mysterious pale white youth, this greatly relieves them.

"Is this the pouch?" The youth throws a pouch toward the girl and asks.

The girl looked at the cloth pouch that had thinned down greatly from when she remembered and nodded.

The grey robe girl slowly opened the pouch. Inside were four beautiful tiny bottles the size of a finger, which emitted a pleasing aura that made one feel comfortable.

White attentively watched as the grey robe girl poured a drop of green liquid inside the bottle into her mouth. The green liquid then dissolves into her mouth before disappearing into her body. 

The next scene that happened made White raise his eyebrow.

A special green hue shone from the girl's body as the injuries on her started to heal and after a moment or two the injuries outside her body were healed! 

The two tending to her also watch with awe but they don't seem to be surprised. They had taken this miraculous liquid while in battle with the mad beast.

At the next moment, the girl slowly sat up and looked at the two and then White who was silently watching her.

She bows her head slightly, saying:

"Thank you, sir, for saving us if not for your timely intervention we…" The girl looked at the dead body of the beast and thought of the time it had devoured Fan. She felt both sad and fearful.

"I need your help with something, but now doesn't seem appropriate, so you can rest for the night," saying, he went and sat beside a tree; calming himself.

'Healing Liquid…' he still remembers how fast the miraculous liquid took in healing the body and according to them, this was a very rare treasure only used by a master.

White couldn't help but smile a little, thinking of the five bottles he had snatched.

'Good luck I guess.' laughing to himself he slowly closed his eyes under the warm moonlight.
