Chapter 35 Shocking Healing Speed [Bonus Chapter]
One of Ves' innate skills, [Life force Detection] is a passive skill unique to the zombie side of her. And just as the name implies and as said before, it's a skill that allows her to detect life force in a 50 meters range, even obstacles like walls or other mundane things blocking her sight.
In her sight, the life force of all lifeform is like a bright burning green flame and using the intensity at which it's burning, she can deduce the level of lifeform.
Though it's mostly accurate but not always. She has tried on Leo and the intensity at which his life force was burning didn't correlate to his level.
To give an analogy, the life force of other people, zombies and monsters she has seen were no bigger than a candle flicker.
The biggest she has seen is the size of a softball and that belonged to the level 9 Mutant Boar. But Leo's life force was way bigger and it burns brighter than other, not only that, it was colored strangely.
Unlike others, Leo's life force is like a swirling sphere of purple-and-gold flames, roughly the size of a basketball.
At first she thought it was normal as he was only human that has been with her, but when she saw the color Miguel had his group's life force, and at the intensity at which it was burning, she knew just how different he was.
As for her other skill, [Predator Sight], it's similar to [Life Force Detection], but instead of merely sensing a target's life force, it enables her to actually "see" and track them.
Its range isn't infinite, yet it's still greater than [Life Force Detection]. Though it requires quite a significant amount of mana to use. But by combining detection, lock-on, and tracking all at once, it becomes an immensely powerful ability.
Ves continued to watch the pack of wolves, as she slowly made her way to the apartment.
She saw that they were just standing at a distance, watching the the two groups dissecting the Mutant Boar's carcass.
Ves didn't understand why they were just standing and weren't making any attempt if attacking—not that she was hoping for them to—but she was happy and relieved about it.
She didn't know what was stopping them from attacking but she hopes that whatever it is delays then for as long as possible.
With Leo still unconscious, her fingers yet to heal and with how tired Miguel, and his group are, if the wolves are to really attack, then things are going to get very difficult.
"Dangers is really at every turn." She sighed, as she finally arrived at door of the apartment.
She opened the door and walked into the apartment. Walking into the apartment, she deactivated her [Predator Sight] skill, as it taken quite a shave in her mana pool, reducing it it from its original 130 points to 10 points in just 20 seconds. It was literally a mana sinkhole.
Ves didn't want to deactivate the skill but she doesn't know what would happen if her mana points completely goes down to zero, and she doesn't want to find out.
She was still thinking about her skills and the Wolf pack when she heard Leo's voice, startling her
"I was actually looking for you, Ms Ves," Leo said, and was surprised to see Ms Ves holding her chest and heaving a sigh of relief.
"Are you ok, Ms Ves," Leo asked, with a worried voice.
"No... I was lost in thought and your voice startled me a bit." Ves smiled, and walked to Leo.
"What are you doing up? You should stay in bed. Your injury is very serious. You need to rest and allow it to heal completely," Ves said, with a stern face.
"My injuries are healed already and I've taken off the bandage," Leo replied, and walked to the kitchen to get himself something to eat.
He initially planned to eat before the Mutant Boar showed up and after that intense battle that almost left him at death's door, he was feeling extremely hungry.
Ves was surprised when she heard what Leo said. She couldn't believe it and she immediately rushed towards him.
"What do you mean by your injuries are healed already and you have taken off the bandage?," she said, as she worriedly pulled his shirt up.
Shockingly, when she pulled his shirt, she saw nothing showing that Leo was injured or has been injured.
What was supposed to be the injury site was now covered by healthy and perfect skin. It was just as Leo said, he's fully healed.
"Impossible. A serious injury like that couldn't have possibly healed in such a short amount of time. How? It has only been like 20 minutes and the injury was at least 2 inches," Ves muttered to herself in shock, and disbelief.
"Ms Ves. Ms Ves." Leo called to Ves who had already spaced out.
"Huh, what?" Ves responded in curiosity when she heard Leo calling her name.
"You're holding my shirt." Leo smiled.
"Ohhh..." She said and immediately released his shirt.
"I'm sorry about that. I was shocked at your speed of recovery. It's shocking." She said, and lightly clenched her fist, but the sting that followed made her unclench it quickly.
'It hurts like hell. How did he heal so fast?.'
Leo smiled with his thoughts unknown when he heard what Ms Ves said. He was actually surprised when he woke up and saw a part of his stomach area bandaged.
He knew that the only reason it would be there was probably because he was injured and Ms Ves took care of it, but the surprising thing was that he didn't feel any discomfort when he moved or touched the area.
And when he took off the bandage, he found nothing. He was surprised but he didn't think too much about it as he thought that the injury might had not been initially serious. But hearing what Ms Ves just said told him otherwise.
Leo knew that this was related to his [Regeneration] skill and it made him very curious to know more about what it can do.
Growl!
His stomach protested loudly.
But that would have to wait as his stomach needs to be filled.
What do you think?
