[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke-Chapter 187: "Zero Stars, Would Not Recommend!"

Well, Xion had to admit that this method was simple and efficient. And most importantly, watching those hideous things burn to death was very satisfying.

However, as he lay sprawled on the cold lab ground wheezing his lungs out, the pain in his stomach raised up a notch.

His ears were still ringing from the sheer force of the explosion.

The system cheerfully spoke again.

[Orcs have been successfully eliminated. Efficiency rating: 4/10. Would you like to leave a review for your purchase?]

Xion groaned as he healed himself while replying, "Yes. Zero stars. I almost blew myself!"

[That’s unfair. The grenade worked perfectly fine!] The system complained, [I did provide instructions. You just forgot to read them.]

It really was not the poor system’s fault. It was trying its best to tempt Xion to buy *cough* it meant help the host.

Xion blinked, his headache intensifying. "Wait. There were instructions?"

[Yes. Would you like me to recite them now?] However, the system noticed Xion’s glare and changed the wording. It was useless to read the manual now.

[Would you like me to recommend more combat tutorials?]

Xion directly rolled his eyes, "Do I look that free to you? Don’t you see me bleeding here?"

Although the bleeding had nearly stopped, that did not stop Xion from fighting with the system.

The system went silent for exactly three seconds before casually chiming in again.

[Would you like to buy a grenade-throwing skill from the shop? 10% discount for first-time users.]

Xion, "..." This greedy little thing!

His anger erupted and before he could scold the system, his eyes rolled back, and he directly fainted.

Xion splashed water on his face, blinking to get rid of the water trying to sneak into his eyes. Why do my thoughts sound like psychopaths? Have I been staying with Darius for too long?

He snorted to himself.

But his actions probably gave Darius and the others a heart attack, but oh well. He had been a little busy trying not to die.

After ensuring the explosion would do its job perfectly, he dragged himself back to his lab before the shockwave could reach him.

The dizziness had crept in not long after. The extreme blood loss had finally caught up to him.

His vision had blurred at the edges, and before he could so much as sit down properly, he had blacked out.

When he woke up again, it was already very late.

Including the strength-boosting drink he consumed when he rushed in front of the archduke, and when he ran away with the hoard of orcs, he had already consumed it twice.

The third bottle had been used so he could rush back to Darius’ side as soon as possible. As he was hurrying back, that was when he met with Noxian and Ray.

Now that he thought about it, maybe that had not been his best decision. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

If he had stayed in the lab for a few more hours, he could have stabilized the side effects. That would have been a reasonable choice.

But instead, he had rushed back at the fastest speed possible, ignoring every warning his body screamed at him.

And what had he gotten for his trouble? Another coma.

Xion groaned, running a wet hand down his face. "I am such an idiot."

At this point, he might as well start scheduling his next coma in advance.

He shook his head. It was miserable. Truly miserable.

A ghost of a chuckle left his lips, though he wasn’t sure if it was amusement or self-mockery. Why, even after training and trying so hard to learn ways to fight, was he still such a weakling?

Forget about those cool-looking fighting actions, he did not even develop a single muscle!

His stomach was as soft as ever. Maybe it was the original Xion’s disposition.

Xion could only console himself like this. He suddenly became curious about that little boy, wondering if goddess Myrthia had sent him to reincarnation too. Or was he living in some other world like him?

Well, he did not need to worry about that kid. With the goddess’ blessings that silly child was sure to live a better life this time.

He carelessly moved his hand, his fingers brushed against his neck, instinctively seeking the mark. But there was nothing.

The temporary mark had disappeared, just like his exhaustion.

But then again, Darius did not bite him too hard.

Even when his grace was that weak, he still did not forget to show his anger in this way. Although his ways were very childish and dog-like.

Xion huffed softly, even mildly amused despite everything.

Originally, he had planned to wait a bit longer. He needed to prepare more potions and strengthen Darius’ body before initiating the final healing process.

Sadly, that was no longer an option.

The more time passed, the more Darius’ condition would deteriorate.

If not for the pendant and the ring, Xion wouldn’t have even considered this new method to fight against Moon Shade Affliction.

He needed that pendent to test that purified mana, so he kept it with him.

Then, he became too focused on testing those theories. Too caught up in experimenting with mana, he had unwittingly forgotten to return the pendant to its owner.

Not that he could though. At least not when he was doing the final testing.

And because of that, his grace had suffered more terribly than he should have.

No matter what, it was a mistake on his part. He had assumed that with him taking care of Darius’ health and everything, there would be no more trouble.

However, in this world, one could not even be sure if they would return alive after going to work even on normal days, let alone those who were constantly dancing on the edge of dungeons and forests.

Forget about these orcs who only appeared in special areas, there might be more deadly animals hiding deep within these trees, lurking in the shadows just so they could pounce at the right time,

It really was not a safe option to travel like this. But it was not like Xion could not understand the importance of rushing.

As the water cooled, Xion stepped out of the bathtub. Grabbing an extra pair of clothes from the closet, he got ready.

He had wasted enough time already.
