Angele closed the door carefully, took off his clothes, and lied in bed. There was still blood and sweat on his body, but he could not resist the comfy bed.

‘Zero, check my body condition,’ he thought.

‘Checking… Various burns caused by electricity and lightning damage. Negative energy particles have damaged your nerve system, and your ability to use spells is impaired. Your organs are failing, please take action as soon as possible, otherwise you will get some serious sequela.’

It was not as bad as Angele had thought. He had known that his body won’t be able to handle all the negative necromantic energy particles that he used to increase his magic resistance for a short duration. The organ damages were caused by those electric arcs he had taken during the fight. In other words, everything was just as he had expected.

Angele struggled for a while and got out of the bed. He was drowsy, but he had to take care of his injuries first. Walking to the herb box, he grabbed some purple beans from it. He then put them into the stone-made grinding bowl on the table and started to grind the beans into powder.

It took him about a minute to make the beans into rough purple powder.

Angele opened the drawer, and there were many small test tubes lined up on a wooden rack. Most of the tubes were filled with green, blue, and red liquid or powder.

He grabbed a tube that had blue powder in it and closed the drawer. He then removed its stopper and poured all the powder into the grinding bowl. After putting down the empty test tube, he started to grind again.

After several seconds, white smoke started to come out of the grinding bowl, and Angele could smell the acrid fumes in the air.

*CHI*

Angele poured some water into the bowl, and the smoke quickly disappeared. He then spooned some thickened liquid from the bowl and put it into his mouth.

The liquid was bitter and spicy, and it wasn’t pleasant tasting at all.

‘Positive Particle Neutralizer consumed. Time until the negative energy particles are neutralized: 17 hours,’ Zero reported. Angele put down the spoon, satisfied with the result.

The Positive Particle Neutralizer was usually used to heal injuries caused by necromancy spells, and it could be easily made. Neutralizers were mostly used on normal people, thus, Angele had never thought he’d need one of them.

He didn’t need to worry about the negative energy damage for now, so he looked at the elephant hearts on the table. They were the most valuable items he had obtained during the mission.

“I need to have a good rest first.”

Angele shook his head, deciding not to start the procedure of making them into enchanted items yet. He threw the used bowls into the sink and walked into the backyard. There, he fetched a basket of water from the well and poured it over his head.

The chilling water from the well made him feel refreshed, and his underwear was soaked. He put down the water bucket and pointed in the air.

A light red rune appeared on the tip of his finger, then disappeared within a second.

“Ossell,” Angele muttered.

Tiny red particles began glowing on his skin, and there was steam coming from his underwear. After about ten seconds, his underwear was dried and clean.

‘That’s one advantage of being a rank 3 apprentice. Using energy particles really helps my daily life.’ Angele could use Wind energy particles to increase his moving speed, Fire energy particles to dry the clothes up, and Life Energy Particles to make plants grow faster.
