Chapter 654 Recuperating
The bag of bones fell to hhe ground like an hollowed out log of wood. Blood spouted out from his pores like a weakly sealed tap. It was as though he was a blood bag punctured with holes. His flesh revealed cracks that spread all over his skin like fissures in the ground, there was no saying whether his body would explode due to the chaotic energy rumbling within him, he was simply too weak to withstand any form of stress right now since he had exhausted almost every last bit of energy in him. His last ditch of attack had literally sucked his cells and his nuclear pulse dry like a vampire during the activation of Nuclear Blitz.
"Such severe backlash." Erian was confused by this.
An attack with a duration of not even a second, had almost mummified him, just the cost of upgrading Atomic Flash to Nuclear Blitz had turned him poor in the blink of an eye.
Erian staggered to his feet, his heart beating rapidly in resonation with the pulsing of his nuclear energy. Lightning shaped nuclear pulse glowedweakly glowed like an almost burnt out lamp.On his chest, the three basic waves softly oscillated together within him. They circulated along with the blood in his veins along with the slightest vibration of his thin muscles.
Right now wasn\'t the time to appreciate his achievement of killing a third year student with the strength of a first year, he needed to recuperate as much as possible because the injuries he had sustained within this short amount of time had the potential to snuff out his life if he wasn\'t careful or didn\'t take care of it. Forcefully soothing his nerves and energizing his cells with nuclear energy, Erian gained a bit of strength.
Hurriedly, he searched Martha\'s body, retrieving quite a few items from the corpse while hacking her holo watch, transferring all of her blood points to his own account and then dissecting the body of the Blackfire Blossom Queen, retrieving a transparent sponge like object with tiny red veins running through it, covered in greenish fluids and mucus.
This was the last Supercell from the corpse of the Blackfire Blossom Queen, the organ responsible for releasing spores storing it carefully in a small box he had prepared earlier, he absorbed the body of the Blackfire Blossom Queen into his Ultimate Transfusion Chamber turned around and left in a hurry.
While the corpse of the Blackfire Blossom Queen was extremely valuable as it was a rarely seen mutated plant that can be used to produce lifesaving herbs, Erian lacked the time to dissect the body for valuable herbs.
He destroyed every traces if him as well as his blood that spilled on the floor during the battle. The only ones he couldn\'t clear was the blood thay evaporated due to the extreme heat of his battle techniques.
While that was still a slight trace of his DNA due to the sublimated blood, it would be incredible difficult to discern. Moreover, there was not a single trace of the plant corpse and Martha\'s corpse which had exploded when he ran through her.

Silence descended onto the street-turned-wasteland. It hadn\'t even been ten minute after Erian left when the wind suddenly stirred and dust rose to the sky. With a low droning sound, thr air exploded and one after the other, two figures abruptly landed in the space above the wasteland.
One was a particularly handsome youth while the other was an elderly looking youth with bald hair looked rough with his beard floating along with the intense wind.
They didn\'t seem old at all, but they weren\'t particular young. They seem to be in their early and mid agreement?" The handsome man frowned when he noticed the fading nuclear energy merging with the wind
Geithner stroked his beard thoughtfully and spoke. "That might be the case. The treasury of the Mayor\'s mansion is truly -ehn?"
His hand stopped stroking his beard and he stopped, picking up the blackened sand and inhaling.
His face suddenly changed. "There had been an intense battle here. Tbe energywabes... Seems from a Triple core beast."
The handsome man\'s face remained indifferent. "It wouldn\'t be too difficult for her to deal with it with the help of her super gene."
"But I taste her blood."
The young man\'s expression instantly turned solemn anf he asked somewhat hesitantly "She... died?"
Geithner slowly stood up from his kneeling position and nodded, his expression couldn\'t be any more serious.
"Crap!" The word involuntarily escaped the young man\'s mouth as slight panic sets in.
"Hurry, inform the Elder Envoy!" The handsome man quickly spoke.
Geithner chuckled darkly. "Why don\'t you inform him?"
"You!"
"Calm down. She probably met with the culprit of the forbidden Hybrid technique as she went out secretly. Since she wasn\'t witb us, Elder Envoy can\'t find fault witb us. But unless we find the culprit, even if we have the support of the academy, as long as we go out, out lives won\'t be any easier than that of the mortals." Geithner spoke frankly while sorting through the bloodied remains in the ground.
"Her stuffs are gone. Either someone reached here before we did or the killer took it."
"Does it matter? If we can\'t find the true culprit, the one witb tbe loot will be served to the Elder Envoy to sooth him."
The handsome youth slightly calmed and then frowned. "She wouldn\'t buy it."
"Maybe, but she will know we did our best and might even let us go without repercussions."
Geithner\'s eyes suddenly glazed over as one of his pupils rolled backwards, with a new type of eye replacing them. "Waves of different colors filled his vision as they floated around him like miasma."
Suddenly, his eyes gazed at the direction where Erian had taken and spoke. "There."

Erian scaled up the walls of an half-destroyed sky scraper. Exhausted, he sat cross-legged, using nuclear energy to smoothen his nerves as he mediated in the process.
Since his nuclear pulse had almost been exhausted, leading to the lack of energy in his cells, most of his veins and pores had been blocked by blood and dried up cells preventing him from using his twenties, and judging from the three flaming fists on their chest, their identity was revealed. They were actually third-year students of War-God academy.
"Martha\'s energy signature faded here. Shrouding her energy, is she planning on going back on our Symbiote technique to strengthen his body.
He could only go back to using Eternal Physique Optimization Art to strength his physical body. Erian didn\'t dare use a single serum to heal himself since his bodily cells and nuclear pulse had been greviously injured by forcefully using the Mythic technique without consideration for his life.
Erian oscillated his muscles and performed the different stances of the Eternal Physique Optimization Art but this time it took just three minutes for him to finish the stance.
His body strengthened considerable. He was just going for the second set when his eyes abruptly twitched.
\'\'Danger!\'
"I didn\'t expect them to track me that quick. Luckily i used a bait. But that wouldn\'t hold for long."
Practicing more of the set, when he recovered about twenty percent of his strength, Erian stopped practicing and stepped out of the skyscraper.
He caught a few Titans, transferring tens of thousands of nuclear energy points down their throat while at ths same time, pouring a bit of his blood and waves in their bodies, sending them toward different directions. At the moment, this was thr best he could do.
Fianlly, headed towards the edge of the city, where most first-year students were located, hiding in a building nearby while doing his best to rein in the waves of energy rippling through his body. It was weak anyways, it didn\'t require much to finally reduce most of his radiation.
Using the Eternal Physique Optimization Art, he continues practiced the technique. Time passed by like water trickling down a tiny escape gap in water.
Finally, his bony body started to gain weight and his pale face started to gain blood.

Atomic Flash, previously called Wind Blitz is a technique rapidly increases speed at the cost of energy. Activating this technique for a single second utilizes 1000 nuclear energy points and that was after Erian had upgraded it to the legendary Tier.
