East Meet West

Chapter 94: Second Stage of procedure

94- Second Stage of procedure

Just like Sheela told me not to tire out my body, I spent a whole month while chatting with Armelia and sometimes even teasing her, exploring the Lamia tribe area, browsing through the shop window, and reading a novel that I found on shop, or listening to songs.

I even tried practicing with a sword in hopes of getting a job like Swordsmanship or getting a skill related to swords, just like how most of the novel's show. And I continued practicing for a whole week or more but still I did not get any job or skill.

I tried using Spear, knife, axe, and other available weapons in hopes of getting a skill or job, but I still failed.

But there was one last thing that I wanted to try, but I was afraid to face failure.

And as I contemplating whether to try or not, 1 month was completed.

It was time to meet Bertha and get started with the second stage of the procedure.

.

Early morning, someone knocked on the door and it was a guard who informed me that Sheela has called for me.

So, I washed my face and followed the guard.

The guard took me to the meeting hall, where all the guests are received by Sheela. Being here for a whole month, I have already gotten familiar with every room.

After reaching the meeting hall, the guard gestured me to enter and she opened the door for me.

I entered the room and saw Bertha and Sheela were chatting with each other while drinking some wine.

As I entered, they turned their attention towards me and we exchanged a few greetings and small talks.

Of course, from Berthas expression, I can conclude that she is still angry at me for not telling her how there were changes in my body because I cannot tell her how my Vitality stat increased and how after that, I increased other stats.

But even if I did tell her, either she will not understand it or it would be a pain in the ass to explain it to her. Also, it might get dangerous if she knows because I dont even know anything about the system and can only wait until I get stronger and unveil it. So, how am I supposed to explain that to her?

So, I apologetically looked at her but she just snorted and looked away.

I can only smile wryly after seeing this and thought inwardly,

If she is so curious to know then why doesnt she use 1 of the condition and if she does, then I will be put in a passive situation and I will have to explain it somehow. But still, this is a good thing for me and I hope that the situation doesnt come to it.

Sheela who was watching this quietly from the sidelines chuckled and to distract us, she spoke,

Well, Orochi since Bertha is back from her family, we can begin with the second stage. And in this one month, both the poison must have properly spread throughout the body and must be restraining each other. Now, Bertha will suck your blood in small quantities every day and we have prepared herbs and plants which will help you in replenishing the blood that you have lost. Are you ready?

Hearing this I nodded.

While Bertha just snorted.

Sheela instructed me to take off the t-shirt. And warned me that Bertha will be biting at few places where there is a fresh supply of blood (in simple terms oxygenated blood), so I have to be prepared for any kind of discomfort or pain that will come.

After I removed the shirt, my skinny-bonny body came into view. Due to poison, my muscles have shrunken, there is hardly any fat visible on my body. Due to this, my body mostly looks as if my bones are covered with skin and the shrunken muscles are just for namesake. There are few veins visible, which some people might consider healthy but according to me, they are visible because there is no fat under my skin that can keep them covered.

After I was ready, Berthas teeth grew sharper just like a vampire but if observed closely, Berthas teeth instead of being usual sharp teeth- which can only be used to pierce someone, like a needle or nail; was now like an injection needle. The difference is that the injection needle is thin while her teeth are thick with a hole. Like how an injection needle has a hole provided through which it can suck and spit out liquid.

First, she chose to bit at my right hands wrist.

-2 HP

Host is losing blood

Host will lose 1 HP per 2 seconds

And I could see that her teeth were acting like an injection needle and with that she is sucking my blood.

Antibodies are being introduced into the hosts blood. This will help build special antibodies and increase hosts immunity towards the poison.

Current progress = 0.001 %

Current progress = 0.002 %

.

.

Yeah, I had doubts but reading this message my doubts got cleared.

Sheela told me that, Bertha will be sucking my blood in little quantities and as her poison is also introduced in my body, then both the poisons will restrain each other. And since one of the poisons belongs to her, she can control it and while sucking she will suck both the poisons mixed in my blood. But I think they dont know the concept of antibodies.

And the progress bar is counting the number of antibodies that I will require from Bertha, that will develop Special antibodies that will help me building immunity towards the poison. And those antibodies will eliminate the poison in the blood and also the antibodies will be carried by the blood to various organs and they will cleanse & repair them.

It will be like a tree that has been receiving drainage/sewage water, received fresh water and that promotes its growth.

After Bertha sucked my blood for 5-6 seconds, she moved on to the next wrist and then continued with my neck and few other areas. She mostly bit in areas where the arteries which carry oxygenated blood are situated.

After she was done, the current progress bar reached 0.103% and if I was to estimate, she almost sucked 250-350 ml blood, almost equal to someone who donates blood. And my HP decreased by 92.

And any normal average person should feel ok with this much blood loss, but maybe it was due to my weak body condition and low blood available, that I felt my mind was spinning but after few minutes I got back to normal.

Seeing my condition, Sheela spoke

I think it's normal for you to feel some side-effect due to loss of blood. Here, have this 1 Year Old Blood-Ginseng, it will replenish the lost blood in few minutes and also make it purer.

I took the Blood Ginseng and started eating it in small pieces.

It tasted very bitter and umami but I ate it.

Maybe, it was due to the system but my digestive system was good and soon the system notification rang,

ding

+4 HP

Blood is being replenished.

It might be my digestive system or maybe thats how the body reacts after consuming this kind of plant. Anyway, both works for me.
