Chapter 126 - Deal With The Centaurs

The Centaurs weren't weak creatures.

It is just Sylvian and the other two were expert Arcane Explorers with complete sets of offensive Artifacts.

Whether it is close combat or ranged battle, they have weapons meant to deal with their enemies. Just like the fire magic that killed most of the Centaurs…

Unfortunately, they obviously lack defensive Artifacts which killed them in the end.

On the other hand, the Centaurs were already injured as well making the fight a lot easier for Sylvian and the others.

"Ugh… So you have to ask that." They seemed to be annoyed.

They could still remember that Cyril's fellow humans destroyed their settlement. Although Cyril allowed them to escape in the end, they still don't feel any better at all.

Nevertheless, they are planning to take refuge at another centaur settlement, and Cyril together with the two female humans were walking in the same direction.

The two centaurides have to make sure whether they're about to do the same to the other settlement.

"Alright, those creatures are druids…"

"To be exact, corrupted druids…"

As soon as Cyril heard this, he immediately had a bad premonition.

'Corrupted? Ugh… I should bring Magenta with me on my next explorations…' Cyril thought as he looked deeper into the forest.

If he asks Xagan now, it would just reduce his current lifespan. However, Amaris the Corruptor, wouldn't cost him any lifespan at all.

"Corrupted, huh… With the strength of that old Centaur, wouldn't he be enough to deal with those druids? Even if they're corrupted, they shouldn't be that strong, right?" Cyril commented. He had seen druids in the low-class Arcane World. Though they have magical abilities, they should only be a bit stronger than the Spriggans.

"Hmph! Our Chief Adenio already killed more than 50 of them! He's already on his deathbed when your people arrived. Ugh! Those druids may be weak physically but they can absorb the life force of their targets…"

"That's right… And since you can speak our language… You must be different from those humans… How about we cooperate instead? I'm Pherone and this is Cilleina. We might be able to clear our misunderstandings, it's not too late."

"Oh?"

Cyril couldn't understand why they would suddenly act on the weaker side. If it's true that there's another settlement of the Centaurs. Then they should have an advantage…

'Unless those centaurs there were also badly injured after their recent fight against the Druids…'

Cyril thought as he consider things up.

It was at this time that Luna finally managed to stand up and jump a couple of times…

"I'm completely healed! Incredible!" Luna couldn't help but be shocked.

As for Myrtle, she only smirked for a moment since she already knows about the existence of the lesser healing potion.

"What? It's true…"

"Look at her… She was already in a bad condition a while ago. This…"

Cilleina and Pherone were shocked again. They know how to use herbs to ease the pain of their fellow centaurs but they required a few days to fully recover using their own vitality.

However, this human was actually capable of healing someone so quickly!

If they learned how Cyril did it, then they might be able to help the injured centaurs in the nearby settlement!

"I… I would do anything you tell me if you could share the healing water with us!"

Pherone was decisive as she spoke to Cyril with a louder voice.

Since Myrtle and Luna didn't understand what she was saying, they quickly held their weapons ready to fight any incoming battle.

"They're not trying to be aggressive… Calm down you two… They just want the healing potion. Perhaps they wanted to use it on their other friends." Cyril immediately said.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Hmph! I don't think we should listen to them—Wait, if you really have more, perhaps this can be a way to get more Bead Artifacts?" Luna cautiously said.

She knows that this kind of potion is extremely difficult to find. She doesn't even know whether Cyril has more.

Right now, she's planning to give any contribution points or money she could get to Cyril in order to thank him for healing her.

Since she's planning to repay Cyril in a different way, she thought that the Centaurs might be able to do the same. Aside from that, if Cyril wanted, they could really take all of their treasures at this point!

"Hmm… I didn't bring many lesser healing potions with me. However, I still have a few here… What can you give to me?" Cyril asked after thinking for a while.

Of course, he's not thinking of just trading immediately with them. He also wanted to make sure that he'll get the best things out of them.

After all, he doesn't know whether he would still visit this Arcane World after their exploration here today.

"W-we have weapons… Bows and arrows, spears, shields, and swords… Right, I also currently have three of these shiny things that you humans like…"

Pherone said and quickly showed the three Bead Artifacts that their team was looking for.

Including the five Bead Artifacts that he found a while ago, he now possesses a total of eight of them!

However, even though Myrtle and Luna were shocked after seeing the bead artifacts, Cyril only shook his head…

He thinks for a moment before demanding more from them.

"I need ten Bead Artifacts, three decent swords, a high-quality bow, and five quivers for a single flask of healing potion… The effects of a single flask are incredible, perhaps just one of them is enough to heal 10 centaurs..."

Cyril said with confidence.

This is quite true since Awakened Beings like Cyril and other humans has a high resistance to drugs and other potions. On the other hand, these mythical creatures don't have that much resistance and they didn't go through any awakening as well.

So even if the centaurs just made a sip from the flask, it should be capable of showing its healing effects!
