86. Fighting Against The Slavers

Star Immortal World

Rain opened his eyes from bed but remained there, contemplating the practice method he received from the newly formed clone, the half-tree spirit Rain in the new world, he named The Alchemist World for now before he can know the real name of the world.

He felt the practice method of the Alchemist could help him create the next realm of grandmaster, as it is similar to the immortal way's third realm the Human Base realm but he didn't know how. His intuition told him that the alchemist's practice method might be the answer for the next realm of grandmaster. 

So, he sits on his bed and enters his soul space with urgency to see if he is able to practice the Alchemist practice method in this world. He had memories from the alchemy world of how he had formed the shadow crown in his soul space.

Rain starts practicing to form the crown in his soul space, and after some time, he opens his eyes with a look of disappointment as he cannot form the crown in his soul space. Rain understood that the rules of the two worlds are different what is possible in one may be impossible to occur in another world. 

In the alchemist world, one could gather the rules of the world inside the soul space they comprehended, but in the Star Immortal World, Rain's soul space showed no change. But he did not remain disappointed much, he felt his scattered willpower gathering, but it couldn't hold them together to form the crown in Alchemist's way without a carrier, as required in the alchemist world. If he could find a carrier, he could hold his willpower, Rain felt then he could create the next realm of grandmaster.

Rain sees the Sun has risen and concludes the time speed of the Alchemist world is similar to the Radiation world and Star Immortal world and Day and night time is similar to the Radiation world but opposite to the Star Immortal world.

Rain remembers the timetable he set for himself he quickly gets out of his bed and his room to the bathroom freshens himself and then downstairs to the kitchen to cook and eat his prepared breakfast. He sat on the balcony and started drawing a healing rune, trying to comprehend the rule contained within it.

Alchemist World

Rain began walking down the mountain with the ravine on its other side. Just as he was about to reach the bottom, his soul power, which spread 10 meters around him, detected two people. Rain stopped advancing and considered walking around them.

Suddenly, Glenn's memory came to the forefront of his mind, recalling the moment he was caught by slavers while hunting. He wasn't alone at that time; he was with three friends—two boys, Mercer and Gale, and a girl, Eliane. They were all captured together. 

Rain realized that if he returned without them, he would always feel guilty. When a new clone is formed, it is a combination of his soul and the clone body's soul, and their consciousness merges to create a new consciousness, with his consciousness being in charge of the body and the body's consciousness disappears but the memory of the clone's body still affects him.

In the Star Immortal World, after he made Yun Ting's body his clone, he felt compelled to visit Yun Ting's parents out of concern for their wellbeing. 

Rain decided to try to save his friends. Using his soul power, he cast an illusion on himself so that others would not notice him. Continuously monitoring the two men with his soul power, he crept behind them.

As he neared, he sensed their heavy breathing as they sat on the ground, leaning against a tree. Before moving closer, he paused and carefully crossed the wire trap in front of him, which he had noticed earlier when his soul power spread to this area. After a few seconds, Rain stood directly behind the two men. 

He considered killing them but realized he couldn't take both at once and lacked the strength to snap their necks due to his injured arms and wrists. Although the bleeding had stopped, he couldn't use his full strength.

As he stood there, Rain suddenly felt the vitality of the two men and realized he could sense how long they would live under normal circumstances, as well as any diseases they had. However, this knowledge wouldn't help him kill them. He needed something sharp, and he noticed the swords sheathed at the men's waists. 

Rain thought if he could hypnotize one of the men, the man would not notice him taking his sword.

Rain then thinks about what instruction to hypnotize the man, as he only knows one method of hypnotizing as he became Alchemist only today. .

Rain thought he is now in the second realm of the alchemist, the phantom crown realm which increased his usage of soul power by 10 times from the shadow crown realm.

When first entered the shadow crown realm, for the first time without any preparation hypnotized the man searching for him.

Then there will be no problem Hypnotizing the men and both men are already sleeping, he makes them sleep much deeper so they cannot be aware of their surroundings.

Using his soul power, Rain put the men into a deeper sleep so they wouldn't notice when Rain pulled out the sword from one of them.

Rain bent down and slowly drew the sword from its sheath. With the weapon in hand, even in his new body, Rain knew he could kill someone from behind in one strike.

He angled the sword and plunged it into the man's throat, severing it. The man's eyes flew open as he clutched his neck, blood pouring out silently as his life ebbed away. Rain repeated this with the second man.

Rain thought after entering the way of Alchemist with his understanding of the vitality rule, he did not know he could feel the vitality of others. Which strengthened his thoughts about becoming a doctor. With every patient, he heals he gathers the belief power from them.

As he tells the method of treatment to the patient for the patient's sickness they will believe him and follow his treatment and after the patient gets a cure following his method they will start believing him more and he can get their power of belief. 

Rain then examined himself with his soul power. After a few seconds, he could feel his vitality and noted he had 284 years left to live.

Rain now understood why Glenn hadn't wanted to practice—the lifespan limit could only be broken when reaching the Real Crown realm. With the strange practice methods of this world, Rain wasn't sure he could reach that realm. 

Rain stopped his train of thought of the future, refocusing on rescuing his friends from the slavers. Noticing light flickering some distance from the mountain, beside the road, Rain guessed it was the slaver's camp.

He decided not to approach the slaver's camp immediately, reasoning that the slavers had likely posted more guards around below, outside of the mountain ravine. 

Before he found and killed them, He needed to confirm a theory that had come to mind now. While sensing the vitality of his body, he noticed his injuries were healing, albeit very slowly. At this rate, it would take weeks to fully heal his wrists, heel, and the arrow wound in his arm. If he could speed up the healing process.

Rain then senses how his injuries are healing, Rain finds the vitality energy consumed by the energy of the body from food to heal the injuries. The energy from food acts as the fuel for the vitality energy to heal the wounds.

Rain tried to control the vitality energy around his body to speed up the healing process in his wrist but failed.

He then tried using energy from the food he had consumed and then he controlled all the energy from food to his right hand injured wrist and managed to slightly increase the healing speed by 1%, but within a minute,

he felt hungry again. With his soul power, he already noticed the pouch full of jerky among the two men, and after picking up the pouch. Rain started consuming them as his body waited to convert the food into energy again so he could heal his right wrist. The right hand is his dominant hand so he decides to heal his right wrist first. 

Because he can fail in assassinating the rest of the slavers guarding the ravine for him. he may then engage to fight them, Rain is certain of his sword skill but an injured right wrist can hamper him when he engages them. 

While his stomach digested the jerky and converted it into energy, Rain circled the mountain, his soul power spreading outward until he detected two more men awake and talking. Now, Rain faced a dilemma. With his sword skills, he could kill them, but they might alert the other slavers, drawing more attention and putting him in danger.

So, Rain waits and manipulates the energy he is slowly acquiring as his stomach digests the jerky, Rain manipulates all the energy to the injured wrist.

His energy is burning at high speed as the fuel for vitality energy to heal his right wrist. As all the energy is directed to healing the right wrist, his body remains hungry.

After all the energy is consumed his right hand healed 10%. Rain now has many reasons to kill the two men, as while his soul power checks them he finds another pouch filled with jerky.

Now if he fails to assassinate them and gets in a sword fight with the two men, he can kill them both before the surrounding guard can arrive, but assassination is the best bet for him. If the slavers get alerted the already difficulty of rescuing his friends will dramatically increase.
