Godlike Player in a Game-Like World

Chapter 234 Hidden Secret(Part 1)





''Sustain Life. '' 

Tika's health was dwindling, and she was lying still on the ground when Seren reached out her hand to her. At that precise moment, a brilliantly clear water bubble expanded from Seren's hand and engulfed her entire body.

Tika, who appeared to be writhing in pain and having difficulty breathing for a while, finally stopped moving completely in this bubble of water as it surrounded her. 

"I am going to be in charge of her healing. The element he used to attack her seems to be quite potent. ''

Seren remarked as she observed the black tar-like substance that had been expelled from Tika's body and was now mingling with the water in the bubble. Because Raydon's ash element is rare and he has a high spirit stat, his already rare element had an even stronger effect, and even Seren, who is a C-Rank, said that she couldn't heal her right away.

''But at least her body will heal quicker than her missing arm. '' Seren said this while casting a glance at the flaming red substance, which, in contrast to the dark substance, is rather subtle and hard to spot unless one looks at it very closely. 

This was the blood element that had remained in Tika's body and was still preventing her arm from healing. It was obvious that this blood element belonged to Fang, who had previously been responsible for destroying her arm.

''That is nice to hear. '' Arden continued, "I will also go and tell Belicia that she is now serving a new young master. "

"You were just getting all worked up saying that she is your son's battle maid. You seemed to have a very easy time changing your mind. '' As he made fun of Arden's abrupt change of heart, Zephyr appeared to have returned to his cynical self. 

''Zephyr, stop joking. You are well aware of how critically important it is to produce a high rank within our family. '' After expressing his displeasure with a frown, Arden continued with a sigh. Besides, there isn't a whole lot of time left for Loran. I'll make up for Belicia's place later for him, and in the meantime, I'll find something else to occupy his time with. ''

When Zephyr heard this, the sarcasm that was previously visible on his face vanished, and he said this in a solemn tone. "His cursed body is about to collapse, huh? It is possible that he harbors resentment toward him because Herman was killed. And now this... Just be careful, and try to prevent him from causing Raydon any problems. ''

Arden did not respond verbally, but rather only nodded with an expression of unwavering resolve in his eyes.

Because of a significant problem that had been present with Loran's body since birth, he began working in secret with Herman to contribute to his research in the hopes of finding a solution for his body. Although Loran believed their collaboration remained hidden, his family was fully aware of their endeavors. 

Despite this, they decided to keep quiet because it was in both of their best interests to find a solution to Loran's problem. The predicament that the family found themselves in was that they were unable to openly cooperate with the Blood Organization. As a consequence of this, they pretended not to be aware of the fact that Loran and Herman were working together, and they allowed him to continue along his own course in the search for a solution. 

But of course, his problem was not something that could be easily solved, and after years of waiting, when he got the news that Herman had died, it was quite possible that his mental balance would collapse, and he would blame Raydon for everything and even try to do something to him, seeing everything as Raydon's fault.

"By the way, I recall that there were other apprentices residing in the same place as Raydon, all of them under the guidance of esteemed high-rank item holders like him. It's possible that they have formed friendships with Raydon. Perhaps we could extend invitations to them for tomorrow's celebration, which would make Raydon feel more at ease," Elara suggested after pondering for a moment, sharing her own opinion.

Previously, Elara held a rather negative attitude towards Raydon and firmly believed that his best course of action would be to align himself with the Demugen family. However, her perspective had now shifted, and she was actively contemplating strategies to foster a stronger bond between Raydon and his family, aiming to make him view them in a more favorable light.

After all, she was aware of Raydon's capacity to achieve high rank at the present time and was even certain that he would achieve high rank in the future. When that day arrived, the Demugen Family, which was nothing more than a big family, would have no significance for him, and he would be free to start over and create a new grand family with his high rank. 

''Damn, Cael. If you hadn't made things so difficult from the beginning, we wouldn't be forced to put in as much effort as we are right now. '' Zephyr expressed his displeasure to Cael after noticing that everyone, including himself, was attempting so hard to repair Raydon's strained relationship with the family.

Cael, who had been silent up until this point and appeared to be engaged in serious contemplation, inhaled deeply and then stated. ''You do not understand. I had to do this. ''

''What is it that I do not understand? What exactly am I supposed to understand about your decision to cast him aside from the family and leave him to fend for himself on the streets simply because he was born with a disability and you were afraid that he would bring shame on the family name? '' When Zephyr saw that his brother continued to maintain this perspective, he felt his anger rise to a new level.

The peculiar demeanor he exhibited and the pointless obstinacy he displayed became even more perplexing.
