Chapter 127 - Cured

As far as Cyril knows, this potion can even help them just by spraying it on their bodies... This is why he knows that he wouldn't disappoint them at all.

The two centaurides didn't immediately decline or accept the offer as they spoke with each other silently. The reason they are taking the Iron-back Apes' bodies was that their meat was very nutritious.

They were also difficult to find around this forest since they would always hide upon seeing the centaurs or whenever they smelled their scent.

They were supposed to give them to the injured centaurs at the nearest settlement… However, if Cyril is telling the truth, then she wouldn't mind giving all their shiny beads at all!

"Are you telling me that a single flask can help many of us?" Cilleina asked. She looked deeply into Cyril's eyes as if she's capable of telling the truth and lies from his words.

"Yes… You just saw what happened to my friend. Anyway, I have no reason to hurt you. How about this, one of you can try this first... Just take a sip…" Cyril replied with a smile.

"Haa~ Fine! I have twenty of these shiny stones here… As for the swords and others, we'll get them once we arrived at the settlement!" Pherone said as she urged Cilleina to show her pouch of beads.

It is now quite obvious why the two Centaurides escaped on their own.

They brought the treasured bead artifacts with them! No wonder!

"You have so many with you? Great!" Cyril was shocked.

He was expecting some haggling to happen but the two Centaurs were actually this desperate. If he knows about this beforehand, he would've increased the price even more.

Anyway, he doesn't like to go back on his words.

"Yes… We have been collecting them actively for a while now… It happened after a few humans recently fought against our tribe to collect these things."

'Oh… Those people are probably the scouts of the Association.' Cyril mused.

He somehow guessed what happened. These scouts were the ones who then reported their findings to the association together with the bead artifact they fought to get from the hands of these centaurs.

In truth, Cyril had no experience with Bead Artifact hunting before, the reason was quite obvious, he was weak. This means that he also has no idea what are the conditions of the Arcane World for these Artifacts to exist.

What he only knows is that this would only last for several months before they vanish completely.

Even after searching for the beads for several years from the old and new Arcane Worlds being found, none of them would spit out any bead artifacts at all.

If it was a game, it feels like this is a limited-time event and could not be repeated.

"Ehem… I'm a bit curious, are you just collecting them? Don't you have any use on these beads?" He asked calmly.

After all, he saw the five beads attached to the halberd a while ago. Was it only a decoration? It can't be.

"Oh? Of course, we have a use on them… Any objects emitting some kind of energy have a use… They can be used to strengthen our weapons, especially our arrows… We also found out that they can be very effective against the corrupted Druids."

From this, Cyril realized that the Centaurs have some kind of ability that allows them to transfer energy from the beads or to utilize them appropriately… This is something that even Cyril wanted to have.

"This is good to know… Here, take one of the potions for now. I will give the other one after getting the rest of the items." Cyril said as he handed over the lesser healing potion… It looks like he had taken it out from his pocket but in truth, it came from his Dimensional Storage Space.

Cilleina did the same and handed the pouch of beads.

Cyril and the other two then watched the centaurides sniff the flask after removing the cap.

"I'll take a sip first…" Cilleina said.

It seems that she's actually protecting Pherone.

Gulp!

After swallowing a small amount of the lesser potion, Cilleina suddenly felt rejuvenized… Not only that, her cursed skin suddenly started cracking before being replaced by clean and smooth bronze skin!

Cyril just watched the upper body of the Centaur shed off her skin!

She quickly removed her armor as she wanted to remove all the excess skin! She appears to be irritated as she removed all her accessories from her upper body.

"Oh~ So you guys are actually beautiful!" Cyril exclaimed.

He felt a bit guilty calling them ugly or scary the first time they met.

'Well, that was unavoidable…' He thought since he's expecting something different from the Centaurs.

They looked like burned humans a while ago… But now, it has completely changed!

"Cilleina! You… You…" Pherone couldn't help but tear up after seeing her friend getting healed.

"T-this… I thought that I'll never have my face back… Human, thank you!" Cilleina suddenly said as she looked at Cyril.

She has brown, long hair neatly coiffured to reveal her round and cheerful face… She looks quite attractive using Cyril's standards.

"Ehem… Just call me Cyril... and you need to cover up… Ugh. Anyway, don't you want to share it with your friend?" Cyril said as he shifted his gaze from the large mounds on her chest.

"Right! Of course…" She didn't mind covering herself at all as she gave the potion to Pherone.

After a few moments, Pherone also had the same changes on her upper body… She even looks more beautiful than Cilleina… Unlike Cilleina's charming appearance, Pherone has her mature and attractive beauty!

"Cyril… I think you should turn your back first?" Myrtle suggested after seeing Cyril's gaze at the two Centaurides.

She actually finds it funny. She always sees Cyril calm and collected… Seeing him losing a bit of his composure was quite satisfying…

'Well, these centaurs are too huge…' Myrtle thought.
