Chapter 586

Chapter 586

Helori hesitantly asked. She could tell his mind had changed again, and by a significant extent too, but even with the absolute jumbled mess going on in his head she could still make out a barrage of swearing taking place in over three-quarters of his available thoughts, even if he was trying to keep it from touching his face.

Oh, you know, just unhappy about how things turned out. Someone trying to murder me again and with my own weapons to boot, all while I was busy trying to close this stupid portal. Which I figured out how to do by the way so now that Im not in any active danger I should really get started.

He resolved himself to stand up, doing his best to ignore his wounds for the time being as he accepted just what hed have to do to get the gate well and closed. He was going to have to kill two people.

He wasnt even concerned about the act itself, Ben had just been more than willing to murder Ather, but he did have a bit of personal concern about how little he felt at having that as his only option. He didnt care about these people and theyd actively put the world in major peril, even if they had the best of intentions.

Myriad had once said that Ben didnt place any particular value on life, and while he still wanted to deny it a bit, at times like that it really shone through. He felt a little bad because he thought he should have some resistance to it, not for the act he was about to do as he materialized two new guns for himself, enchanting on the bullets he would fire so that not only would the ritualists die, but the ghosts possessing them would forcefully pass on instead of maintaining their position the way he was already seeing in some parts of the ritual.

With all of that prepared he stood beside the closer of the two and took aim at the farther before pulling two triggers in the same instant, leaving his two victims to collapse to the ground, the gate to hell closing with that act as well.

I really have gotten too used to this world.

It was an idle thought that felt like it wanted to lodge into his head just as deeply as the sights hed already witnessed that day, but unlike some of the other things going on in his minds, he was able to shove it away as new notifications rang out in his mind.

Yep, I saved, I survived, and I was forced to waste that entire quest reward on a job I was getting passive experience to. If I hadnt been forced on vacation I might have even been able to finish it and have a brand new job by the time this happened. Oh well I guess, no use crying over spilled milk.

Unlike usual though, he didnt immediately go for a new job, instead looking around him first.

None of the other ritualists were freed from their possession. It looked like the ghosts that bound them had been instructed to carry out the ritual, but now that it was no longer possible, all of them stood fruitlessly in place as they kept up their attempt at something that would no longer function, trapping them all until the gods got someone to deal with them.

Seeing no urgent dangers there, he then turned his attention to himself, counting his injuries.

He was still wearing the church of Myriad but it would need to be repaired after stray spears had sliced through it into his arms, which he decided to attribute to his excellent craftsmanship when making them instead of Athers strength as part of his mind began to think that the church could use an upgrade while another part was more concerned about his wounds as he stripped off the jacket, wet with his blood, to see the damage.

If he was on Earth hed have needed to get stitches, and without Thera nearby to heal him he still needed some as well, so he quickly refilled his mana by stealing from some of the bound ritualists before materializing a needle and thread and getting to work the best he could, ignoring the sting each time the pin pierced his skin as he did his best to close his wounds until he could get back to his favourite healer.

It was only once that was done that he looked at his card to view the less obvious damage, feeling himself frown as he did. Those spears had been enchanted to be used in the war, the enchantments upon each of them aimed at lowering vitality as much as possible, with Ben getting to experience firsthand how well theyd worked. Even with his vitality at over thirteen hundred along with his natural resistances, his resistance enhancement, his absorption resistance and all his other defensive skills, he was still down to almost half of what he should have been after only a few slices. One good stab would have ended him.

It was something he thought wouldnt actually take him too long thanks to his high level of enchanting, along with how complex his enchanting technique had become by that point, and with that done he properly scanned his card for all of the changes beyond just checking his vitality and felt himself grimace when he saw something that had slipped his mind sitting near the bottom.

Within his blessings was listed something new. Something that wasnt presented in the same way as a normal blessing, not having come from a god or a group of gods, but instead a place. Ben had stared into the chaos, witnessed it in a way no mortal should, and in those seconds began to adapt to it, with that change being reflected within his status, leaving whatever effects it had as a mystery to him for the time being.

Hey Helori, Ben started to ask before thinking better of it, choosing to save the topic for Myriad later as he seamlessly switched to something else. Im done here so Im heading back. I think its pretty safe to say that my vacation is officially over.

He was as refreshed as he was ever going to be and he could already imagine a mountain of work that was going to come from that all but he didnt care. With that done, he just wanted to start heading home.
