Chapter 415 On His Last Breaths
He cried in agony and activated his 'Zone' to turn into a Shadow bat in the air, hoping to dodge the following attacks. 'Stab' he was hit again, and his zone was blasted into black smoke. He was falling again, bleeding all over. He was in the worst crisis he had ever witnessed. Wings appeared behind his back.
He activated multiple defensive skills and used his 'Return Ticket,' but one more projectile appeared just before he was teleported out. This one was bigger than the ones before; it peeled through all his skin and hit his back, breaking his bones.
His body stopped moving, and he started falling again, but the return tick activated and disappeared. An angry roar resounded when he disappeared, sending shivers to anyone who heard it. The creatures still sleeping woke up and hid themselves, unwilling to get attention from the one who had released this roar.

'Crash'
A body filled with injuries and wounds fell between the crowds. It caused chaos as everyone moved back and looked at it. It appeared to be a silver-haired boy; he looked unconscious. "Rishi?" A loud voice appeared, followed by a small storm. A beautiful middle-aged lady appeared.
She checked his situation and said, "Medical Team, Hurry; he is in critical condition," The media started recording. Viewers, as you can see, the last student has also successfully returned from the Secret Realm but is in a critical state. What has he experienced to be in such a state? Did a powerful Epic Stage Magic Beast attack him?"
Multiple healing spells were used on Rishi, but even they could not stop the bleeding. At last, they had to bandage his whole body to stop his blood from flowing further; his face appeared pale from losing a lot of blood.
There were multiple big wounds on his body; his hands were barely sticking to his body. The wound on his back was even more deadly. A hole had appeared on his body, from which his bones were visible. The medical team finds it a miracle that he survived; any of these wounds could cause other Awakeners of his level to lose their lives.
He was shifted to the emergency room, where the doctor looked at his wounds and said, "He had been hit by the 'Bleed' debuff, but what kind of creature can give such a powerful debuff that is still working even after several minutes? Move him to purifying formation."
"The power of this debuff could have led to death in just a minute, but this kid has amazing regeneration and can severely reduce its effect." The doctor commented, and Rishi was then moved to a strange room with two giant formations, one at the top and one at the bottom.
"Activate it in full strength," ordered the doctor. The helping staff preset some buttons and left the room. A blinding light appeared in the room and continued for some minutes before it stopped. "What a powerful debuff! It took so much time to suppress it."
They opened the door and realized that the boy had stopped bleeding. The doctor fed him some medicine and asked the nurse to bandage his body. Then the doctor summoned his contract. Beast: A red-colored slime appeared floating in the air. "Pass some blood on him."
The slime appeared above Rishi's body and ejected a large amount of its blood from his body. Its size shrank by more than half. The doctor picked it up and rubbed its head "No need to worry; I will feed you soon," He then summoned another contract beast.
A dove appeared, carrying a golden olive branch on its beak. There was a circular symbol on its forehead. The beast knew what to do; it flapped its feathers, appeared above the boy, and cast healing magic on him. A golden light appeared around the boy's body and started healing him.
The doctor looked at his condition and was shocked. The boy's body shook a little before a green light shone, and then the blood around him entered his body again. His wounds released a black smoke out of his body and soon closed.
The pale face of the boy started to become rosy again. He was still unconscious, but his body started recovering. The doctor checked and found that the boy's condition had greatly improved. He thought it would take a lot of time, but only now did he realize that his regeneration ability was way stronger than he anticipated.
He called the nurses and asked them to clean his body before shifting him to the healing chamber. With his recovery speed, it might not even take him a month to fully recover. He sighed in relief; he was under great pressure due to the patient's identity.
Exiting the room, he saw the beautiful middle-aged lady sitting on the bench. She stood up when she saw him. "How is his condition, doctor? Would he be able to recover?" she asked.
The doctor gave a comforting smile and said, "No need to worry; he is out of danger. It may only take him a month to fully recover."
"Really?" The woman sighed in relief; she could not focus on anything when she saw his condition like that.

A week had passed since that incident, and a girl could be seen sitting beside the bed. A silver-haired boy could be seen sleeping peacefully. She took out a small bottle containing some light green-colored liquid shining brightly. She opened his mouth gently and emptied the whole bottle.
She looked at his face, pinched his cheek, and said, "Why do you always worry me? I have not been able to sleep for the past week. I practiced day and night to succeed in making this potion."
She kissed his forehead and closed her eyes; without knowing it, she fell asleep. Many hours passed; The boy's body shook. His fingers moved slowly, and soon his arms moved. He started losing consciousness; he was still not in optimal condition, but he had become awake.
He used his active skill, 'Recover' A green light appeared around him and started healing him. He then used a life-force magnet. A giant orb of green light appeared around him and started sucking the life force from the surroundings. He used 'Recover' multiple times in a cycle before his eyes suddenly flashed open.
He looked at himself and checked his condition. He was about to sit when he felt something on his chest. He looked and saw long black hairs above him. He soon saw a familiar face, but it was covered in large, dark circles. His expression softened when he noticed it. He gently touched her face and stood.
Streching his arms, he moved a little. After he was sure that everything was working fine, he gently picked up the girl and put her on his bed. He was still feeling pain, but this much was nothing to him. He then sat down and started recalling what had happened.
"That was close," he said, sighing in relief. "Was that the strength of a legendary beast? He was not even serious but still almost killed me multiple times." He realized the terror for the first time. He clenched his fists with determination. "Just wait; I will tame you one day and ride around sitting on your head," he laughed.
