Chapter 157: 157

I relaxed for the next few days . The rabbit's leg on the other hand healed properly and it was now able to walk without the cloth and sticks wrapped around it . The medicine it ate as well as the raw herbs, increased the healing process greatly . I released the rabbit on the 4th day . The rabbit was surprised that I just let it go but didn't linger around for fear of me changing my mind .

"Thanks to you, my arm is now attached back together . Live your life to the fullest" I said out loud even though the rabbit was long gone . 'I will have to heal it first and then start the rehabilitation process . It will take a while for my arm to return to the previous state but with the spring approaching, I should be able to find even more herbs' I thought and took out a book . Past those few days, I couldn't really train my skills, even more so my strength, therefore I opted for books . Knowledge was also part of one's strength .

In those few days, I completely memorised the Corporeal Structure book as well as the Nerves and Pressure Points book . They were quite useful and I already had some ideas how I could use the latter for medical purposes . On the other hand, my fighting ability suffered a lot . My close combat was really lacking as well . If I were to compare it with the woman who severed my arm, my skills in that department were pretty much non existent . 'That attack of her… It wasn't done by sheer strength . Was this also an Aura? I mean that Eterian Laly, if that is really her name, said humans have Auras but can Aura attack as well?' I thought .

My Auras couldn't create such attacks, they only possessed certain effects that could increase my pain resistance and instincts for example . This may be possible . Afterall, I only experienced my own auras as well as that Eterian's Ability . I didn't feel any Aura from the sword woman when she attacked normally, it was entirely possible that the final attack was an Aura .

'Even if an Aura can be used this way, I have too much going on now . As soon as I get better, I need to master the Natural Path skill . The blood figure gave me some ideas about it due to its advanced use of my skill . If I'm correct, I should be able to improve it a lot . This would mean that catching me, will be very difficult' I thought and started reading the book in my hands .

This would mean that catching me, will be very difficult' I thought and started reading the book in my hands .

I was reading the Bone Treatment Log . This book couldn't help with my case but it was interesting nevertheless . 'It seems that someone who wrote this log, treated a lot of bones with defects and illnesses' I thought . The book described cases such as hollow bone structure, it would mean that the bone had no marrow . This was a very serious condition and quite rare but the person who wrote this, actually managed to heal it and described how it was done .

Another such case was, when the author encountered a patient which seemed to be born without the bones in few of his fingers . The patient couldn't move those fingers whatsoever as there was no bone structure to support that movement . Yet the author claims that he healed that defect after a long time . It took him over a year to implant some bones and carry out the procedures in order for the patient's fingers to work again . 'If what this book says is true, then that author was a bone doctor . He specialised in bones most probably, while he could also do some other procedures as well . Stuff like implanting bones into the patient's body and so on' I thought .

I found the book interesting and read it from cover to cover, stopping only for some food . I had some food stored up in my bag and because I didn't practice anything while my hand was in healing process, it would be enough for one more week . I didn't have to hunt and simply rest .

A few more days pa.s.sed and I was quite bored . The books I had, were already finished . I decided to spend some time thinking about all my skills and what to do next . 'Besides rehabilitation, I need a plan . I still want to go north, even though it's so dangerous . Everyone I met, said I would die in the north . Just what exactly is there, that it's so dangerous?' I thought .

My thoughts continued 'Going there with my still healing arm, is out of the question . With my rehabilitation, I should practice the Natural Path skill until I'm able to complete the movements of the Blood Figure from my dreams . It shouldn't take me long, I already saw the the Blood Figure do it . Perhaps a few months of time but I still lack in my combat departament . There is the Wind Daggers skill I could practice but it's not going to be easy . Although I incorporated that under the Art of Hidden Weapons, It really is an art on its own . Mastering it would take me too much time . What else can I do?' .

I went through my mind and besides the archery, there was also the Stringed Hidden Weapons which I couldn't practice either . The close combat was abysmal compared to some strong people . I had no techniques like the others . Even though I still remembered the book about fist skills, what good was it against opponents that used weapons?

Poison was a supportive skill and I also needed tools as well as herbs in order to produce a decent poison . 'I have nothing . Wind Daggers or archery is my only option . The problem is, those are not close combat skills . Wind Daggers require daggers which I have very little of . Archery requires bow and arrows, I can make arrows myself or reuse the ones I have but it is a long distance combat . If something comes closer to me and is powerful, I have no way of counterattacking . I can only… Wait!' I thought .

There was a skill I could utilise with my daggers . 'I forgot about it . This was the skill from the book about fist techniques but I can adapt it to my daggers! The book described a skill that utilised speed in order to punch multiple times . It's not really difficult to do when someone is as strong as me and I can do it with my daggers already' I thought . What I had in mind was not that simple thing, the attacking points would become the most important parts . 'This should be a start, a skill in close combat I could use . I will test that later when my arm heals but the real practice will begin after the Natural Path skill is completed . If I had the skills of the Blood Figure from my dreams, I might not have had my arm severed' I thought and laid down . The days ahead would be boring but I was already fired up to try some of the ideas I had . I relaxed for the next few days .
