Cheat Awakening

Chapter 574. Close Call



"Amm~ Where am I? Why is everything so dark..."

"So you finally willing to wake up? I thought it would take a lot longer," A familiar voice, full of sarcasm, sounded in Myne's ears. He was barely conscious and couldn't quite grasp what was happening.

"Big Sis? Why am I hearing her voice? Shouldn't it be Aisha or Sylphy around me? Where did she come from?" Though his head was spinning and his thoughts were foggy, Myne managed to push the wet cloth off his face. A blinding light hit his eyes, making it difficult to open them.

After a moment, his vision cleared, and he saw his dear sister, Maya, standing before him, along with her good-for-nothing husband, Jin. They were deep in conversation, discussing something very serious. In the background, Aisha stood quietly with an expressionless face, holding a big bag filled with glass bottles containing unknown liquids.

Confused, Myne looked around and realized he was in his own bedroom in Lucus Town, not in the capital city, chasing a weirdo who liked hiding behind his summoned monsters.

"Ahhhm, why does my body hurt so much?" Just as Myne tried to sit up, he felt excruciating pain shooting through his body. He could barely move his fingers, let alone anything else.

"Calm down, you're injured. It will take time to heal, so don't move unless I tell you," Maya scolded him. Seeing him try to get up despite the pain, she rolled her eyes in annoyance, and flicked his forehead hard, clearly, she was furious, but had no way to vent her anger in the other party's current condition.

"All right, but what happened to me?" Myne asked hesitantly under Maya's deadly glare. He had no idea why he was back home, why Maya was glaring at him as if she wanted to kill him, or why he was so badly injured, and his proud OP healing skill suddenly became useless.

"Well, where to start," Maya crossed her arms under her proud boobies, looking as if she were deep in thought. After a few seconds of pondering, with a light chuckle, she began, "It started when an idiot tried to do something that wasn't his business, despite being repeatedly warned by someone close to him, but that bastard idiot one way or another always found a way to f*cked himself up."

"Last night, that idiot was blown away by an enemy's surprise attack and fell unconscious. His body was beaten badly by the enemy later to make him vent his anger properly. But then the enemy found that the idiot had an abnormal healing ability, so he took great interest in him and started taking his body parts and organs for research. Before leaving, the kind-hearted enemy also left a beautiful curse as a farewell gift.

"Later, this idiot's poor wives didn't know what to do, panicked and worried, they dragged me out of my bed in the middle of the night, forcing me to work all night and half of the day without rest to save his sorry ass. Now, do you understand what happened to you, and why I am standing before you?"

The more Maya spoke, the more sinister her expression became. By the time she finished, she was already on top of Myne, gripping his neck with one hand and holding a fruit knife in the other, which god knows where she got from. She glared at him with wide eyes, breathing heavily, as if struggling to hide her true emotions behind her icy demeanour.

"Finally, the potion is ready. Myne... Drink it. It will unseal the mana flow in your body suppressed by the curse, and you'll be able to use your skills again," Jin said as he approached. He held a glass tube about 10 centimetres long filled with golden liquid. After a moment's hesitation while Maya released Myne's neck, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes with a painful expression and poured its contents into Myne's mouth with a face full of unwillingness.

As the golden potion entered his body, black steam began to release from Myne's entire body. After a few seconds, it turned white. For nearly a minute, he looked like a steam engine, continuing to release white steam. As his internal injuries recovered, the pain in his body faded, and he was able to move again.

"He's fully healed now. You can beat him as much as you want, Maya. I won't disturb you brother and sister anymore. Have fun, Myne!" Jin winked at Myne with an evil grin, grabbed his bag from Aisha, and left the room.

"Now, what should I do with a promise-breaker like you?" Maya asked, cracking her knuckles as she loomed over Myne.

"Big Sis, listen to me. This mission wasn't supposed to be so serious. We were just catching a group of kidnappers. But who would have thought that such a powerful bastard was behind all this mess and would attack with all kinds of weird things while hiding behind his summons? Also this time, I was just helping our sweet little kingdom from those low-level scums, not wandering outside and looking for death as I promised. Now you can't say I'm not even allowed to wander in our own kingdom. Otherwise, what's the difference between being in prison and this?"

Myne's words effectively stopped Maya from advancing, and she stared at him with a deadly gaze without saying anything. Just when Myne thought he was about to get beaten, she let out a deep breath and got off him.

"Well, you have a point this time, so I won't blame you. But next time, if you don't know who you're messing with, please, for my sake, don't fight a necromancer, especially one who's dozens of times more powerful than you..."@@novelbin@@

"Wait, Sis, you know that guy in the black robe?" Myne hurriedly interrupted Maya, got up, grabbed her hands, and asked with burning eyes, clearly wanting revenge on someone who had taken quite a bit of advantage of his poor body.

"No, I don't know him. I just made a random guess based on his actions and the curse he cast on you. This type of high-level curse can only be casually cast by a Tier 3 or above necromancer. It not only keeps the target alive but also tortures their spirit slowly over time to force them to become a vengeful spirit. It's a common trick of those weirdos to cultivate their ghost army."

"Otherwise, how do you think he let you go, and only took some of your body parts and organs, couldn't he just take your entire body with him? He just didn't realise the full potential of your healing skill, and wanted to make full use of you in a short period," Maya explained casually, sending a chill down Myne's spine. He hurriedly touched his body to confirm that no parts were missing and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, what the hell is such a dangerous character doing in our little world? And if he's so powerful, why does he need to play cat and mouse with everyone and like to kidnapping random passersby? Can't he just buy them from the slave market or take over a small village or something? Why directly attack the capital of a kingdom?" Myne cursed angrily. He really couldn't understand the brain circuit of this big boss.

"Although I don't know what he wants, one thing's certain: from now on, you're not going to poke your nose into this matter. This necromancer is not something you can mess with, so stay away from him. Since he's only kidnapping random passersby each day, let him do it. When he's finished with his work, he'll eventually leave. People of his level can't stay in a backward place like our world, where there are hardly enough resources to meet the requirements of Tier 2 or above. Of course, if it different matter if he wants to retire and needs a peaceful place to spend the rest of his life, which I don't think is possible since most necromancers are restless characters who can never be peaceful."

"All right, since you're healed now, move your ass and go outside. Others are worried about you too," Maya said, getting up from the bed and leaving the bedroom, giving Aisha a nod on her way.

Lost in thought about the necromancer, especially trying to remember how he suddenly fell unconscious, Myne just hummed in response. It wasn't until Aisha pinched his cheek that he came back to his senses and realized she was looking at him with teary eyes.

"Sigh, why are you behaving like a little girl? I'm fine, aren't I? How could anything happen to me? It's not as easy to deal with your Lord Husband as it seems," Myne pulled Aisha into his arms, stroked her hair gently, and spoke softly to comfort her.

"Sob, fine... Fine my ass. Do you even have any idea what condition you were in when we found you? You were barely recognizable. Almost all of your internal organs were missing. That bastard even took your heart. If it weren't for your regeneration skill, and my healing skill, you would have died long ago..." Aisha sobbed while gently hammering her fist on his chest.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, all right. But who would have expected that such a simple kidnapping task would turn out to be so life-threatening? Anyway, at least I'm alive and kicking, don't I? So forget about the past and move forward. Now, my sweet wifuu, put aside those tears and let's go outside. Sylphy and the others are worried sick about me too," Myne gave Aisha a deep, passionate kiss to calm her down, wiped her tears, and walked out of the bedroom with Aisha in his arms, speaking in a playful tone to lighten her mood.
