Chapter 8: The Dark Room (Part 2)

After Zendayer's exit.

"Well, what do I have here, how lucky you are, if it weren't for my master. I would have landed another blow not on your face but on your eggs...hehe."

When Nait heard Roderick's words, his face turned pale and trembled, 'Except my little boy.'

"Okay, I'm going to go get someone to treat your wounds. So be obedient and stick to where you are. Oh, you can't actually move. It doesn't matter."

Roderick picked up the lamp and the cloth that prevented Nait from speaking.

After that, he approached Nait lying on the ground, who had many bloodstains around him as well as vomit.

Disgusted by the smell, Roderick covered his nose with his sleeve and placed the lamp near Nait's head.

He took the cloth and put it back in Nait's mouth as it was.

'Awesome opportunity, I'll take it,' thought Nait, his eyes glowing as Roderick approached.

After Roderick's hand reached his face.

"Take that, motherfucker." Saying this, Nait pounced on Roderick's right hand, which was holding a piece of cloth. And he made the strongest bite he had ever done in his life with great malice.

Thus, the roles were reversed. It became Roderick who was screaming in pain.

"Ugh...you insect...agg... what are you doing.... ughhh...leave my hand..."

Roderick tried with all his might to remove his hand from Nait's teeth. But as he tried, he saw that Nait's teeth were digging deeper into his flesh as his blood appeared.

He left him in great pain, all he tried to keep him away. Without any hesitation, he turned his plan to violence.

“Arg… you… [Strengthening body]” Roderick raised his left hand in the air, pointing at Nait's face, as it began to radiate a translucent red glow.

Roderick sent out his left fist with a pain in his face and hoped to shake off the wolf's teeth.

His fist slammed into Nait's face toward his right eye. He made Nait release his jaw to end up letting go of Roderick's hand. He received a new injury, represented by a violet swelling in his eye, which put him in another coma.

Roderick grabbed his hand that was dripping with blood, and raised his leg in order to strike Nait again in anger.

But he stopped when he remembered what his master had ordered him to do.

'As my master said, I have to reduce the damage on him...chih.'

The anger disappeared from his face. He approached Nait's face again, cautiously afraid of waking him, in order to take the cloth.

After many attempts, Roderick made sure that Nait passed out, so he went to get the cloth.

'This insect, he took such a heavy blow that there's no way he'll wake up anytime soon.' Roderick wrapped the cloth over his injured hand.

After he finished wrapping the cloth, he picked up the lamp.

"Now I also need treatment...Attt.." He said these words as he went to the door of the dark room, opened it, and came out of it and closed it.

***

After 3 hours.

The dark room door opened again. Two middle-aged people entered.

One of them was black-haired and wearing a shirt, with a light shield on his chest. And also a shoulder protector in just one. He was wearing leather pants at the waist with a sword, it was Roderick.

But the other extra thing was that there was a white bandage wrapped around his hand, not the cloth he had put on before.

As for the one who was next to him, he was carrying a box in his hand. He has silky gray hair, which ends with shades of black at the edges of his hair. That man was only wearing a look in one eye.

He put on a white silk shirt, gray trousers, and a long dark gray overcoat.

"Go ahead, Dr. Gareth," said Roderick.

“Well, what a dark place.” Gareth nodded as he looked around, “It is downstairs after all.”

"It's a perfect place to hide the things you don't want your customers to see in your store." Roderick spoke while carrying a lamp with him, "Wait, Dr. Gareth, I'll light the candles."

He went to the different sides of the dark room that contained the candles and lit them.

"That's better." Gareth commented on Roderick's work.

After lighting up the room, Gareth could see with his gray eyes, Nait lying on the floor.

Roderick went to Nait after seeing Gareth looking at him and said, "Dr. Gareth, this is the person I asked you to treat."

"Okay," Gareth then approached Nait, put the box down, and bowed.

Gareth remarked, "It's good that his injury is not so severe as to threaten his life. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to treat him."

Gareth then looked at Roderick standing next to him and asked, "Was it you who caused these injuries?"

Roderick remained silent at Gareth's question.

"First, untie him, and wake him up too." He continued talking after not taking him to any answer with the expectation of the answer in his mind.

When Roderick heard Gareth's command, his expression changed to a slightly worried one, "Dr. Gareth, I doubt it would be bad to untie him and wake him up."

“Hmm… the reason?” Gareth asked.

"Because he might resist, and get us into a lot of trouble," Roderick replied.

"Anyway, if you don't do what I told you to do. Just come cure him, and I'll go," Gareth got up, holding his box, wanting to go.

“Sigh, well I will do as you say.” He then went to get a bucket of water by the door of the room without any objection.

Use this bucket to wake up an unconscious Nait.

Nait woke up startled, after splashing cold water on his face. He looked around to find himself in a lit room in front of him two people. One of them he knew very well, Roderick who bit him, and the other he didn't know, was Gareth.

When he saw them they were far away from him, so that he could not reach them.

An expression of arrogance appeared on his face, “Haha… like this or not.”

"How's your hand, moron...hehe. I see you've bandaged it. Thanks for the lighting."

"You brat, know where you are, or you will see another hell." Roderick appeared angry after hearing Nait's words, remembering what has happened before.

Gareth, who stood as the spectator, finally understood where Roderick's injury came from.

"I'm Gareth, a doctor, I came here to treat you." Gareth said, "Listen, we're going to untie you. In order to treat the injury to your hands and feet. So I ask you to be a little tactful, and let me heal you in peace."

There were traces of blood and blisters on his hands and feet due to Nait's desire to defend himself against Roderick's beating.

Nait looked into Gareth's honest eyes and started thinking 'This doctor seems kind of reliable. Do I have to trust him? On not doing something foreign to my body' On his last thought he said "How can I trust you."

Gareth smiled, "It's simple, look, I have Roderick here, with my gestures, he can hold you in place without you doing anything. I also woke you up, I could have taken advantage of you being unconscious."

When Nait heard Gareth's reply, he saw it made sense.

"OK."

“Good, Roderick untied him,” Gareth said, looking at Nait, “It was a good idea, after all, you'll never be able to resist Roderick. Because he has the ability {Aura}. Although I don't know how you did it with his hand. I say this in order to avoid further injuries. Don't do anything crazy."

When Gareth finished speaking, Roderick went after his order. To end up untied Nait.

Nait experienced a great feeling after untied his chains and moving his hands and feet. But he did not try to do anything dangerous. As Gareth said.

Gareth asked him to sit on the chair, to do what he came for.

Gareth opened the box. To show it several glass bottles. And metal tools for medicine.

When Nait looked at a box and its contents, he thought, 'What? I thought he would use something as wondrous as healing my wounds in a jiffy with healing magic. To be as it is on earth is disappointing.'

Gareth took out a flask and a piece of white wool, holding it with tongs.

Pour the contents of the bottle onto the fleece.

“This is a wound disinfectant, because I can’t disinfect a wound with my ability.” Gareth said.

After his speech, he took a piece of wool and began to sterilize all the places where Nait was wounded.

Nait usually suffered from pain. And the repetition of the word "Attt..." every time the piece of wool touched her wounds.

After Gareth finished sterilizing all of Nait's injuries. Placing the forceps, he opened his palm toward the chamber shed.

"Now I will show you my ability. [Bandages]"

After he said his last word, the palm of his right hand began to glow a bright green. To suddenly appear out of nowhere on his palm a wrapped bandage tape.

'Wow, now I know I'm in another world after seeing this. A bandage appeared on his hand after he only said "bandage". effortlessly making it.” Surprise appeared on Nait's face.

When Gareth saw the astonishment on Nait's face, he smiled and began to explain, "I have an ability called {Healing}, with which I learned the rank 1 skill [Bandings]."

"Unfortunately, my ability is very weak. It's a G-rank. It's a miracle that I can make any kind of bandages I want in an instant.

“The only properties of the [Bandage] skill is that it heals wounds faster than usual. If it’s a condition like a serious illness or an internal injury, it won’t be useful, so rely on medical tools to take care of the injuries.”

Hearing Gareth's explanation, which finished, Nait said with a smile, "Thanks for the clarification."

"Okay," said Gareth, as he opened the bandage, "it's time for your wrap."
