Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

Wu Xin was immediately taken aback.

It was thought that El Cid's injuries would heal and he could make further progress, but now it seems that he was too optimistic.

So, with heavy hearts, the two continued to treat El Cid.

This continued for another day and night, until the third day when El Cid's injuries were almost completely healed.

During this process, Odysseus also gradually allowed him to release his suppression of El Cid, allowing him to gradually regain normal physical activity.

By this time, Wuxin had completely given up suppressing El Cid's bodily functions, retaining only the protective effect against the scalding medicinal soup.

He could clearly hear a strong heartbeat pounding in El Cid's chest.

Suddenly, he saw that El Cid's tightly closed eyelids seemed to twitch.

"Is he about to awaken?" Wuxin asked Odysseus with a questioning look.

“He should be waking up soon!” Odysseus nodded.

Based on his medical experience, he deduced that El Cid should indeed be awake by now.

Seeing this, Wu Xin and the other held their breath and patiently waited for El Cid to wake up.

As his eyelids began to twitch for the first time, Elshid's eyeballs beneath them also began to move.

After his eyelids twitched more than ten times, they finally slowly opened.

A pair of dark eyes then came into view.

"Am I... still... alive...?"

A hoarse and weak voice came from his mouth, as if he were asking someone else, or perhaps asking himself.

“Senior El Cid, you’re still alive! There’s no doubt about it!” Wu Xin replied with a smile.

"You...you are..."

Hearing that familiar voice, El Cid strained his eyes, trying to make out the figure in front of him.

Soon, as his vision focused, a familiar face appeared before him.

That is the enlightenment of the Great Lord.

"Did we... successfully rescue Lord Sasha?"

Recognizing Wuxin, his thoughts gradually cleared, and he quickly raised the question that concerned him most.

Chapter 386 The Cruel Result

"We succeeded! We have successfully rescued Lord Sasha!"

"They even sealed away Thanatos, the god of death! Senior, you can rest assured now!" Wu Xin immediately reported the good news.

Even now, El Cid's memory remains stuck on the moment he fought his last battle with Death.

"It worked...that's great!"

He was overjoyed and immediately struggled to get out of the medicine pot.

However, it was only at this moment that he realized that his limbs seemed to have no feeling, and his body was in pain, making it almost impossible for him to exert any strength.

"Stop struggling!"

Odysseus quickly dissuaded him, reminding him, "Your injuries are too severe and you haven't fully recovered yet. You need to stay in this medicine pot for a while longer!"

"However, now that you have fully awakened, it proves that you have completely passed the danger period."

"Next, we just need to patiently wait for further recovery!"

"Thanks for reminding me!"

Elshid quickly expressed his gratitude, then asked, "But who are you?"

The other person's face looked somewhat familiar, but he was wearing a golden Saint Cloth, which looked like the Gold Saint Cloth. However, in his memory, there was no such Gold Saint Cloth among the twelve palaces of the Sanctuary.

"I am Odysseus, the Golden Ophiuchus!" Odysseus solemnly introduced himself.

"Huh? The Golden Ophiuchus?" El Cid asked, puzzled.

So, while waiting for treatment, Wuxin patiently explained the matter of Ophiuchus to him again.

After another day and night of treatment, Odysseus finally stopped the treatment.

"Your injuries have healed. All you need to do now is rest and recover your strength!" He put away his snake staff and wiped the sweat from his forehead as he spoke.

Elshid was somewhat confused and said seriously, "But why do I still feel like I have no feeling in my hands and feet? They don't obey my commands at all!"

Odysseus sighed and said, "Because your hands and feet are completely carbonized, you are utterly crippled!"

"What??"

Upon hearing this, both El Cid and Wu Xin were greatly surprised.

"This is impossible!"

El Cid was overjoyed and immediately mobilized his cosmic power to stimulate his body functions, struggling to stand up.

But at that moment, a series of crisp cracking sounds came from his hands and feet.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Xin saw cracks appear on El Cid's arms.

Click!

Perhaps due to excessive excitement and force, El Cid's jet-black arms suddenly broke off along the cracks and fell into the medicine pot.

Whoosh!

With both arms broken, El Cid lost his balance and immediately fell back into the medicine pot.

However, no blood flowed from El Cid's severed arm wound; it was only pitch black.

Odysseus casually scooped up the severed arm from the medicine pot and crushed it, indicating, "See? Your hand is completely carbonized. No matter how skilled my medicine is, I cannot reverse this material change."

"Do not--"

Seeing this, El Cid broke down and struggled violently once again.

However, the more he struggled, the less he could stand up, and he ended up breaking his carbonized legs in the medicine pot.

Finally, as the carbonized body separated from his body, El Cid's true condition was fully revealed to Wu Xin.

His limbs were severely mutilated.

The left hand and left leg were severed at the root, with the lower parts completely carbonized. The right hand was only slightly better off than the left, with only the part above the elbow remaining.

His right leg was also largely carbonized, leaving only the part above the knee.

He became completely disabled.

Seeing the state of his body, El Cid was devastated and became increasingly agitated, churning the medicine pot.

Nearly half an hour passed before El Cid had to accept the fact and regain his composure, but his mood was extremely low.

Upon seeing this, Wu Xin tentatively asked Odysseus, "With your superb medical skills, is there no way to restore Senior El Cid's severed limbs?"

Upon hearing this, the dejected Capricorn raised his head and cast a hopeful glance at Odysseus.

Odysseus thought for a moment and said helplessly, "There are ways, but almost none of them are possible!"

“You know, this is a limb amputation, not an ordinary scar. No matter how skilled I am, I can’t do anything about it.”

"Unless it's a divine substance that can revive the dead and heal flesh from bones, all other spiritual medicines are useless!"

"What??"

Wu Xin was immediately taken aback, and even the glimmer of hope that had just appeared in El Cid's eyes dimmed.

The living dead, flesh and bones restored – just hearing this description tells you it's no ordinary thing.

Even the Moon Essence Holy Water, which possesses extremely strong healing effects, cannot reach this level.

For a moment, the entire Ophiuchus Palace fell into a deathly silence.

After an unknown amount of time, El Cid finally spoke up, saying, "So what if I'm crippled?"

"Even without hands and feet, I will still be the sharpest sword in the Holy Land!"

As he spoke, he mobilized the power of his inner universe, shaping it into energy-based hands and feet, and with their assistance, he managed to stand up from the medicine pot.

Perhaps because it was his first time using these energy-based limbs, El Cid was not very skilled and stood unsteadily, as if he might fall down at any moment.

Wu Xin rushed to help him up, but was stopped by El Cid.

"No need!"

"I can do it myself!"

As he spoke, he used his energized hands and feet to help him laboriously walk out of the medicine pot.

This scene left Wu Xin and the other person speechless with astonishment.

Although people occasionally use telekinesis to grab things as an auxiliary arm, this is the first time I've seen someone like El Cid directly materialize their cosmic power and use it as hands and feet.

Seeing this, Odysseus nodded and said, "Using energy-based limbs as a substitute is indeed a good idea."

"Although I'm not as nimble as before, at least I can move around without any problems!"

El Cid steadied himself against the stove and asked again, "Although my physical injuries have healed, I feel that my strength has dropped a lot and I haven't fully recovered."

"How long will it take me to regain my original strength?"

He now probably only has the strength of the middle level of the Seventh Sense, not even reaching the peak of the Seventh Sense, and is far from the Eighth Sense.

"This one……"

Odysseus hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly, "Your injuries are too severe. In addition, the burning of your life and soul to exchange for power has caused irreversible damage to your entire body."

"It's already a miracle that we're still alive. It's almost impossible for us to regain our strength."

"Even your lifespan will be greatly shortened; you probably won't live past forty."
