This adventurer is overly righteous.

"Logan the goblin, open your eyes, I am Chroya."

A familiar voice reached his ears, and Logan's consciousness gradually cleared. He felt his body being shaken and then he woke up.

The first thing I saw was Kroya's face, which was excessively pale, with slightly narrowed eyes, and looked very tired.

Then came the pungent smell of blood. Logan couldn't help but shift his gaze. Kroya's body was on his left. He was using the sword to support his body, half of which was a bloody mess. His right hand was bent backward in a terrible arc, with the broken hand bones exposed to the air. His internal organs were almost visible in his waist and abdomen. His right leg was completely broken, with the middle part of his calf turned into a pulp.

This would be absolutely fatal for a human. Kroya's life was hanging by a thread; the weariness on his face indicated that his life was coming to an end, and once he closed his eyes, he would never open them again...

"I'm not dead, and I won't die."

Seeing Logan's hesitant expression, Kroya couldn't help but speak, her voice weak but not sorrowful.

Because in the lower left corner of Kroya's line of sight, there were several lines of small, eye-catching text.

The gods witnessed your courage and kindness during your adventure, and they cheered for you.

[Blessed by the Gods: Unyielding]

[Gained Divine Favor: Immortality (Low-Level)]

You overcame an almost invincible enemy with courage and determination; such an act deserves praise.

[All attributes significantly increased]

[Acquired Skill: Storage]

The effect of immortality allows Kroya to withstand injuries that would be fatal to ordinary humans. Even if his heart is pierced or his head is cut open, Kroya can still survive and slowly repair his body through his self-healing ability.

However, this is only the lowest level of immortality, not powerful enough to be called an immortal body, and its ability to repair the body is not that strong.

It will take at least a long time for Kroya to heal his wounds, but his life is not in danger.

"Logan, I'm hungry." Because his limbs haven't been repaired yet, Kroya isn't able to move around and can only order Logan around. "Go outside and gather some branches so we can make a fire and eat meat."

Adequate nutrition intake also helps Croa repair her body.

"How come you still have an appetite..." Just looking at the wound made Logan feel pain, but the fact that Kroya still had an appetite meant that his physical condition was probably not as bad as he had imagined. "Never mind, I'll go find it and contact the Adventurers' Guild while I'm at it."

"If the person who comes is one of that vampire's accomplices, we're doomed," Kroya warned, and Logan nodded quickly.

Adrian's familiarity with the communication methods of the Adventurers' Guild's spies suggests the existence of a mole within the organization.

As he stood up, Logan felt a tightness and a dull ache in his chest, probably from internal organ damage. However, the problem wasn't serious; he could still move his body and would likely recover after a few days of rest.

"Meat..." Logan looked at the Steel Swamp Dragon's corpse; this was all the meat they had left to eat.

A long, narrow gash stretched across the Steel Swamp Dragon's face, almost tearing it apart. Logan imagined the scene of Kroya defeating this Steel Swamp Dragon—the Steel Swamp Dragon charged forward in a rage, and Kroya met it head-on, slashing along the wound he had previously inflicted. Using the speed of the dragon's charge, he cleaved the Steel Swamp Dragon's body open, its organs spilling onto the ground.

The price for doing so was that half of Kroya's body bore the full force of the impact and was almost completely shattered; it's a miracle that he's still alive.

Or perhaps it was a miracle.

Logan began to consider whether he should become a believer in God in the future.

Stepping out of the cave, Logan finally saw real sunlight after a long time. He was in a daze for a moment, not knowing how long he had been imprisoned underground by that vampire. When the natural wind, carrying air without the stench of goblins, gently caressed his body, he couldn't help but cry.

"It's really hard."

As evening fell, flames rose inside the cave. Kroya had barely regained some mobility and was able to move his body slightly. Now, Kroya and Logan leaned against the Steel Swamp Dragon's body. One side of them was unscathed and therefore free of blood.

Logan used his sword to cut some meat, small strips at a time. Even though it was dead, the Steel Swamp Dragon's muscles remained stiff, chewy, and tasted like goose meat, but the muscle fibers were noticeably larger and tougher, and it also had a fishy smell.

However, this did provide Kroya with a lot of nutrition, and his body began to recover faster. Logan stared at Kroya's wound, which was not infected or blackened, nor did it breed maggots. The flesh was still bright red and looked much healed.

Okay, goodnight.

Kroya extinguished the flames and then told Logan that Logan quickly fell asleep, still feeling the fatigue from the escape. He might have slept for three days and three nights if Kroya hadn't woken him.

But Kroya couldn't sleep. Pain was emanating from all over his body. His bones were slowly repairing and reconnecting, and the broken muscle fibers were also reconnecting. Because of his immortality's regenerative abilities, this process was accelerated, and Kroya could clearly feel it.

At night, he had to do other things to distract himself. At first, he wanted to read a book. Leijin's forging manual was protected by magic and was not damaged in the battle. It was just a pity that the bone spoon that the hunters gave to Kroya was broken into pieces. He could only go back to White Rock Town to find someone to repair it.

However, it was clearly unrealistic to concentrate on studying when he was in excruciating pain all over his body, so Kroya started tinkering with his newly acquired skill—[Storage].

Kroya really wanted a storage space, since adventurers always carry a lot of things when they go out, and having a storage space would be much more convenient. At the same time, using the storage space to store loot would also prevent others from being envious.

After trying it out, Kroya roughly figured out how to use the [Storage] skill.

"Storing and releasing both require energy. Only inanimate objects that I touch can be stored, and objects can only be released if they appear in front of me."

According to the skill description that appeared in his mind when he acquired the skill, the size of the storage space depends on the maximum amount of magic power that Kroya has. Now, Kroya's storage space is even larger than the bag he carries when he goes out, which is quite large.

"Things imbued with magic or possessing magical power require more magical power to enter or exit the storage space."

This is the conclusion that Kroya reached through experiments using Lejin's forging experience.

Then Kroya picked up the heart again; it was the one that had attracted the Steel Swamp Dragon. Kroya tried to put it into his storage space and succeeded, but it consumed a great deal of magic power.

Although it continues to pulsate, it is still an inanimate object, only filled with a great deal of magic.
