Chapter 1205 Life-preserving Array Box

After dealing with Crawford, Liam immediately dove right down to the ground towards a bundle of nether that had wrapped itself around something. Since the entire place was reeking of nether thanks to the battle, this bundle did not seem that out of place.

With a wave of his hand, Liam dispersed the nether, revealing the glass box underneath. The thing was in fact not a simple glass box.

[Ding! Life-preserving Array Box]

His upgraded [Inspect] skill clearly gave him the description along with a small representation of the person inside it as a diagram with red being parts with injury, green being normal tissue, and yellow being slightly injured areas.

Liam's heart ached as he saw Alex's body bright red in color in the diagram. Every single part of her body was riddled with injuries and numerous scars and wounds covered her body from head to toe.

And it was not just injuries. Her right arm was completely mangled and her left leg was missing a big chunk.

How hard must she have fought to protect everyone in order to get injured in this manner…

Liam's eyes moistened to see the woman who was always full of energy lying down so still and frozen like this.

He knew that she was alive.

He had known that she was alive the moment Crawford brought out the box. The old man probably assumed that Liam wouldn't know anything about the glass box but it was a simple matter of his upgraded skill giving him all the information that he needed.

This was also the moment that Liam realized something. The person in front of him was weak. Crawford was once an enemy that he had feared and considered almost unbeatable, but now, he saw the truth.

Only after stepping out of this world, could he understand the real difference between him and the powerhouses in the vast wide cosmos. In front of them… in front of the divine temple high priestess Liam was still a nobody. However, that was not true for the level 230 Crawford.

The moment Liam saw the level of the guy using the [Inspect] skill, rage roiled within him. He was finally strong enough to thrash the opponent in front of him but what was the price he paid for it…

It was far too much for him to bear. Liam sighed. He let go of the anger that still lingered in his heart. Alex was still, though only barely. She was heavily injured and he needed to tend to her first.

When it came to healing skills, Liam was not the best and he did not even have enough insights to confidently judge her condition. So he first called out Lunaria, the dryad, from the spatial artifact to use her nature healing skills.

Unable to sit tight inside, Eldrin and Elira also popped out along with her.

Seeing Eldrin, Liam was perplexed because there seemed to be some sort of restriction that prevented higher-level beings from stepping foot on Earth. Although the elf seemed to be just fine as he casually walked out and started looking around.

Liam did not think about this any further, pushing the matter aside for the time being. For now, the first and the only thing he paid attention to was the woman in front of him.

"Lunaria, see if you can do anything for her. Her injuries are beyond my skill to heal," Liam implored the dryad.

The dryad, first shocked because of the place where she was standing, took a second to admire the world plant. She bowed in reverence to the small plant and then approached the glass box with solemn grace.

Her presence alone seemed to bring a sense of calm and life. She gently touched the glass, her hands glowing with a soft, verdant light. Immediately, the entire box began glowing green.

"I will do my best," Lunaria said softly, her voice like a gentle breeze through leaves. She began to chant in a different language, her words weaving a spell of healing and restoration.

On the side, Liam prepared some other things, including healing potions, pills, and other medicinal items with healing properties.

Everyone stood quietly watching as the dryad worked her magic. Only Luna mentally asked Liam, "Master, what about the others? Are they also somewhere imprisoned by this guy? Shall I look for them?"

Liam shook his head. "Let's wait." He couldn't explain it properly but he had a feeling that the others were fine. This was precisely because Crawford had stuck Alex in a life-preserving chamber.

Liam had a feeling that the petty old man was using Alex as bait to trap others and when it did not work he must have held on to her to use her as a pawn later on.

Liam did not know for sure. Maybe it was all his wishful thinking but healing Alex would be the quickest way to find out about everything. He had already tried the system interface to reach the guild channel and the network but everything was offline.

Every single name in his personal friend list was also grayed out. This had to be because everyone was in hiding.

As numerous scenarios cropped up in his mind, Alex's condition was slowly improving. The dryad was doing her best to heal her as the strain of her undertaking was visible on her face.

Because of all the experiences she had amassed while she was back in Tirnanog with Liam and the hint of a dao seed she had gained, Lunaria's current skill level was very different from when she had left Earth.

She was able to utilize the natural energies around her with much more finesse and power. Her connection to the life force of plants and the earth itself had deepened, allowing her to channel healing energies more effectively.

The glow around her hands intensified, and the air seemed to pulse with the life force she was channeling into Alex.

After a while, Lunaria's chant slowly came to an end, and the green glow began to fade. She stepped back, visibly exhausted but there was a frown on her face.
