Chapter 209: Heart Knot (II)

Barrity's serious injuries didn't last long, and a powerful healing light from Priest Joshua swayed down from mid-air in time, and the magic cured his injuries and greatly reduced the pain, while temporarily restraining the corrosive process of the dragon's blood.

The barbarians had teamed up with priests before, and in the slums of Garano there was a simple church and an old priest.

The old priest believed in a new god who had only been promoted to godhood after the 'war of faith', called 'Asclepius', and was in charge of the priesthood of medical treatment, health, and mutual aid, and was also called the 'healer', 'god of all-healing', and 'god of healing' by the poor people in the slums.

The Magic Guild that rules the continent today is not as iron-blooded and ruthless as it was during the Empire, and Barrett had vaguely heard a mage talk about it, and the Guild seems to have a good relationship with some gods with better personalities, presumably the new god is also one of them.

Back to healing.

Even though the god of faith had the title of 'healer', the old priest's healing magic was still no match for Joshua, nor was it comparable to the healing potions created by the mage through alchemy. The magic effect of the old priest's full prayer was not even a third of the healing potion.

This shows the power of the nameless god that Pastor Joshua believed in, and of course, it may also be due to the mystery and particularity of this space.

Barrett, who had received timely treatment, quickly rolled off the rocks and fell into the shallow water nearby. After that, he vaguely felt that the black dragon seemed to be attacking him, so he relied on his intuition and the reminders of his partners, and rolled twice accurately, dodging the black dragon's attack, and distanced himself from it.

When he opened his eyes, which were full of pinprick pain, and was about to understand the situation on the next field, he immediately saw a huge dragon's mouth stop in front of him.

After the Black Dragon Serio was injured, he became even more angry and irritable. It also trailed down from the rock, and after two unsuccessful attempts, it opened its massive jaws full of dragon teeth to bite Barrett, who was close at hand. But because of the bondage of magical chains, he never got his wish.

Seryrios cursed incessantly, sometimes in dragon language, sometimes lingua franca, interspersed with elven and dwarven languages, and other unknown languages.

The black dragon had completely lost its mind at that time, or rather, the long confinement had already left its sanity, and the fact that these maggots in its heart repeatedly injured itself many times finally exhausted its few sanities.

Serio Rions was charging wildly, pounced and fluttering his wings without hesitation, but due to the magic chain around his neck, he only managed to fall down several times.

Barrett's sword, the Iron Bride, did not fall due to the black dragon's massive movements, but instead continued to penetrate as it fell, leaving only a little of the hilt stuck outside. This undoubtedly continued to stimulate the black dragon's nerves, making it more and more crazy.

The wound on the dragon's back was getting bigger and bigger, and the dragon's blood had been sprinkled all over the rocks at that time, but it hadn't had time to collect it yet.

Barrett didn't choose to risk retrieving the weapon and collecting the dragon's blood, because the berserk black dragon had already bitten even the giant rock, and even the little ghost's screams of terror could not affect it in the slightest.

At this time, it was obviously not wise to approach hastily, so Barrett told his companions to retreat to the edge of the dragon's breath, and then repeatedly seduced and provoked like fishing, causing the black dragon Serios to squeeze his vitality in a rage.

The black dragon spewed out more than a dozen dragon breaths in a short period of time, and its powerful spitting attack wiped out all the grass around it, and the nearby waters were like acid purgatory, without any living creatures.

The black dragon's physical strength is good, and this berserk state lasts for a long time, but it can't last forever.

During this period, Serio Rios also subconsciously used the spell-like abilities 'Dark Acid Domain' and 'Disease Swarm', although these endless abilities did cause a lot of trouble to Barrett and others, but because the distance between the two sides was quite far away, and there was a strong performance of Priest Joshua, they all survived without danger.

Eventually, the irascible black dragon fell tired of the acid. It flapped its wings a few times, howled miserably, and then closed its eyes and withered.

Barrett tried it many times, and after confirming that he was basically safe, the little mage flew tremblingly from the air to the black dragon and began to collect the last item, dragon blood.

The dwarf mage Theodore Shining Gold carefully collected a lot of dragon blood at that time, and at Barrett's request, he laboriously pulled the 'Iron Bride' out of the black dragon's body.

And the black dragon only symbolically moved his tail a few times in the process, cursed a few words in a low voice, and did not make other radical movements.

Truth be told, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if it weren't for the fact that the pool of acid was inaccessible and they lacked effective offensive means, Barrett would have wanted to make a real dragon-slaying deal.

Unfortunately, these are just thoughts.

After collecting all four items, Barrett and the others rested in the village for a few more days to recover from their injuries before applying all the items to the map as required.

Finally, golden teardrops appeared from the map, and the magnetic voice in the sky sounded again, [Do you stay and go to the next town, Reavik, to further explore the true secrets of the space creators, or put away the curiosity in your heart and leave this land of right and wrong?]

For Barrett and others, the answer is self-explanatory.

......

Coming out of the nameless space safely, and basically fulfilling the dwarf mage's instructions, Barrett said goodbye to the others and parted ways with each other after receiving the payment he deserved.

He returned to Clover City to find Mage Alvin, and used the free teleportation opportunity he got from the mage to return to the location that had completely changed him, the city-state of Muya.

The barbarian did not come to this world-famous city-state for a mission, nor did he ask anyone else, nor did he want to find the 'nasty' adventure team he had worked with.

He came here for a simple purpose, just to untie one of his knots. A knot that has always haunted him. And the way to unravel it is also very simple.

Barrett prepares to go underground again, following the path he has traveled, to find out why he was unconscious at the time, and what happened after the coma.
