The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 253 Bounty
A relieved smile appeared on Weiss's face.

Matou Kariya excitedly ran forward and hugged Matou Sakura tightly, tears welling up in his eyes.

The heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He looked at Wes with gratitude, not knowing how to express his gratitude.

Sakura Matou slowly opened her eyes, her eyes full of confusion.

But soon, she smiled brightly.

She felt her body relaxed and free, and she knew that she had finally escaped the torment of the engraving worm.

Matou Sakura hugged Matou Kariya tightly, her small body nestled tightly in his arms.

She knew that it was Matou Kariya who had been silently protecting her all along.

In those dark days, it was Matou Kariya's care that was like warm sunshine, illuminating her world.

Her heart was filled with gratitude and dependence, and the hug at this moment was her most sincere expression of emotion to Matou Kariya.

"It's not time to be happy yet." Weiss's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly interrupting the warm moment between the two.

A sense of uneasiness welled up in Matou Kariya's heart, and he asked nervously, "Is there anything else wrong with Sakura's body?"

He held Sakura Matou's shoulders tightly with both hands, afraid that she would be hurt again.

Weiss shook his head and said slowly, "You are the one with the problem."

Matou Kariya fell silent. He certainly knew the condition of his body.

His body was riddled with holes and had been corroded beyond recognition.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that his life was running out; he could feel that his life was gradually slipping away.

"By the way, anyway."

Weiss threw Matou Kariya into the magic circle.

Matou Kariya wanted to refuse. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his eyelids became heavy and his consciousness began to fade.

Weiss followed suit and began to clean the crested bugs from Matou Kariya's body.

There are many more crested insects in Matou Kariya's body, and there is also a being similar to the Insect King.

This insect king is hidden deep within Matou Kariya's body.

Weiss carefully manipulated the silver thread, and it took half an hour before Weiss finally cleared out the crested bugs from Matou Kariya's body.

However, the biggest problem for Matou Kariya is not the bugs in his body.

When Matou Kariya came to his senses, Weiss threw him a bottle of potion and said in a calm tone, "Drink it."

Matou Kariya didn't hesitate. He took the potion and drank it all in one gulp.

He knew that Weiss would not harm him.

"It can save your life temporarily, but..." Wes didn't finish the next sentence.

Both Matou Kariya and Matou Sakura could understand the meaning.

They knew that this was only a temporary relief and that Matou Kariya's physical condition was still very serious.

Sakura Matou looked at Weiss with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of pleading.

"Don't look at me." Weiss shrugged and said helplessly: "This guy has no intention of living."

There was a hint of helplessness in his words.

He waved his hand and said, "Come back to me after you've discussed it among yourselves."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Matou Kariya and Matou Sakura there.

Weiss walked slowly to the library.

The magic books he obtained through hardships from various worlds are neatly arranged here.

Some of the pages of those magic books have yellowed; others are brand new. Each book has a unique binding and marking, which makes it clear at a glance how precious and extraordinary it is.

These magic books are the precious treasures accumulated by Weiss in his long adventuring career. They record all kinds of magical knowledge.

But he didn't come here to read a book this time.

He walked to a comfortable chair in the middle of the library, sat down slowly, then took out paper and pen and began to write furiously.

He needed to organize the knowledge in his mind, especially after seeing the 'root', there was a lot of information in his mind that he had not had time to digest.

He pondered as he wrote, each word and sentence reflecting his profound understanding and insight. Complex magical theories, mysterious runic patterns, and powerful spells emerged from his pen. He immersed himself in a sea of knowledge, constantly digesting and absorbing this information.

With the help of the Mind Stone, Weiss can not only do multiple things at the same time, but also increase his efficiency several times.

His mind works as fast as lightning, handling multiple issues at the same time.

He could recall the secrets of the 'Root' while organizing the knowledge in the magic books and thinking about how to apply this knowledge in practice.

A few days passed and Wes was still in the library.

With his strength reaching this level, sleep is no longer necessary.

His spirits were still high.

He kept writing, and one notebook after another was born under his pen.

Every page is filled with his wisdom and hard work.

There was no more room on the table, so Weiss put down his pen contentedly, exhaled a long breath, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, his head also relaxed, and a feeling of joy came over him.

His wizard level reached 7th.

This means that his magical power has reached a new level.

"All the efforts have not been in vain." Weiss walked out of the library with a look of relief on his face.

At this time, Matou Kariya had already been waiting quietly at the door. His figure seemed a little lonely in the soft light, but also with a kind of determination.

"Can you take us back to Fuyuki City?" Matou Kariya's voice broke the momentary silence.

"You've made up your mind."

Matou Kariya nodded heavily and said firmly, "I want to send Sakura back to her mother. It's not convenient for a grown man like me to take care of her."

His eyes revealed his love and reluctance for Sakura Matou.

"What about you?" Weiss's gaze became deeper, as if he wanted to see through Matou Kariya's innermost thoughts.

Matou Kariya smiled but said nothing. But that smile contained an endless amount of vicissitudes and helplessness.

Weiss knew that his heart was dead.

All the pain and struggles of the past have now turned to dust.

He was just doing his last duty.

"I'm already very satisfied to be able to protect Sakura." Matou Kariya's voice was low and hoarse.

Everyone has different pursuits, and Wes respects his choice.

After sending the two back to Fuyuki City, Weiss did not stay, but immediately returned to the Land of Nothingness.

Because a shocking piece of news spread like a storm in the void.

The collector actually issued an extremely tempting reward, and the target was the Cosmic Spirit Orb.

This news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves.
