Chapter 123 Juliet's Help (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

The name "Hungry Purple" was etched deep into his mind like a brand, carrying a chilling aura.

Otto breathed a long sigh of relief as he thought about this, but a slight stinging pain in his chest reminded him that his body was far from fully recovered.

He struggled to sit up in bed, looked around, and could barely make out that he was lying in a clean and tidy hospital room.

White walls, wooden floors, a glass vase with a few white daisies on the bedside table, and sunlight streaming through the window, casting warm patches of light on the floor.

He didn't know where he was, nor how long he had been unconscious.

The most urgent task is to figure out the situation as soon as possible and then find one's companions.

But just then, as if they heard a noise from inside the room, the door was gently pushed open, and someone hurried over.

Goren was holding a huge sandwich, chewing it with gusto, his cheeks bulging like a squirrel stuffed with nuts.

There was still a bit of mayonnaise on the corner of his mouth, which looked somewhat comical.

Upon seeing Otto regain consciousness, Goren's eyes lit up. He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

"Hey, you're awake, our exorcism hero."

Otto was still a little confused when he heard this.

He remembered that when he finally lost consciousness, he was fighting against the demon, and he didn't know what happened afterward.

But soon, a faint sound came from behind Goren, and a semi-transparent figure floated out from outside the door.

It was Juliet, the ghost.

"After being liberated, she was supposed to be forcibly taken back to the Jackdaw Cemetery."

Goren pointed to Juliet, who was floating in mid-air, looking somewhat timid.

"But during the process of being pulled back, she kept shouting for help, asking for your location."

We had just finished the battle on the outskirts of the forest when we heard her cries, which is why we were able to bring people in time to dig you out of that buried underground space.

You'll have to thank this young lady properly later.

Upon hearing Goren's words, Juliet lowered her head shyly, her transparent body trembling slightly.

Her figure appeared much more solid than when she was in the underground space.

However, Otto was puzzled. Shouldn't Juliet be confined to the area around her own tomb?

How can you stay in your own hospital room?

Juliet simply explained patiently.

"It seems that because I helped you purify that demon and also gained some power from the abyss, I am about to undergo a transformation."

It was with the help of these powers that Juliet was able to briefly leave her tomb.

After confirming that Otto was alright, Juliet immediately said that she was going back to continue her transformation.

Perhaps when they meet again, I will be a little different.

After saying goodbye, Juliet fled the ward as if she were escaping.

As Juliet left, a muttering sound came from Goren's feet.

"I really don't understand, how did you, a guard, get involved with the undead?"

At that moment, Micah, like Goren, was also holding a sandwich in his hand, leaning against the door frame and eating it slowly.

His face showed a hint of fatigue, but his eyes remained as sharp as an eagle's.

Clearly, he had been watching over Otto here for the past few days.

"Your body is recovering, but you still have difficulty moving around."

As Micah spoke, he pushed a wheelchair that looked somewhat simple but was very sturdy from outside.

"I also made one for you. Come on, let's go out for a walk. Staying in bed all the time isn't a good thing."

Seeing this, Otto did not refuse.

He carefully moved his body, trying to avoid aggravating his still-healing wounds, and asked curiously.

"How long have I been lying there?"

Upon hearing this, Micah simply shrugged and pushed the wheelchair to the bedside so that Otto could sit down.

Three days.

"Including the time you were buried underground, you suffered for a full six days."

Micah's tone carried a hint of emotion.

"Fortunately, the doctors here are highly skilled, and you seem to have made a breakthrough in the battle. With the improvement of your vitality, you managed to pull yourself back from the underworld."

As for Eileen, you don't need to worry. A Grandmaster's vitality is far stronger than you imagine.

She was just overexerted; she woke up a day earlier than you, and now she's perfectly energetic.

Micah said this, but made no attempt to push Otto's wheelchair.

Otto thought they would take him out for a stroll, but who would have thought that this shorty would actually build himself a wheelchair?

Soon, Goren, Otto, and Micah were each sitting in their own wheelchairs, eating sandwiches made by Lillian, and slowly gliding down the corridor of the medical area, chatting about recent events.

The scene looked somewhat comical: three large men in wheelchairs walking side by side, each holding a sandwich, drawing the attention of passing nurses and patients.

"After recovering, Eileen has returned to the Adventurers' Guild to prepare for the aftermath of this incident."

Goren took a big bite of his sandwich and mumbled something indistinctly.

"As for you and that wolf girl, you rested here for three days."

"By the way, should we go see her?"

Upon hearing this, Otto immediately realized who Micah was referring to.

It's that Moonborn wolf girl.

During those three days of fierce battle with the demons, Otto was able to obtain the Breath of the Azure Moon thanks to the help of the giant wolf, which accelerated his absorption of lunar essence. This allowed Otto to use the Azure Moon Breathing Technique to continuously infuse pure lunar power into his body.

Within the body, strengthen one's physique.

Otherwise, he would probably have been defeated by that succubus long ago with his own strength.

Thinking of the final request from the giant wolves of Delauri, Otto felt he had to go see the wolf girl no matter what.

"Her condition is not good."

Micah's tone turned serious, and the ease on his face disappeared.

"Although she was a grandmaster, she suffered too much torment."

The shamans didn't treat her as a life at all; they merely used her as a sacrifice for purity, locking her in a specially made coffin.

With Micah's explanation, Otto gradually understood the truth.

The reason the shamans disregarded the wolf girl's injuries was because the coffin was cursed with an evil curse that allowed the body's life force to gradually feed back to the soul, allowing the soul to continuously absorb the body and eventually give birth to a powerful wild spirit.

For the shamans, the wolf girl was destined to die anyway, so she didn't need much care. Their only concern was ensuring she was still alive before they completed the invocation ritual.
