Chapter 149 : Published at 27th of March 2019 10:37:52 PM Chapter 149 The voice of someone I rather

The voice of someone I rather not hear, sounded from behind me . "So you survived that . I wonder if this was luck or you have very keen senses" she said . 's.h.i.+t, I can't get away from her nor can I kill her . What am I supposed to to?' I thought as I ran as fast as my body allowed me to . Then I felt something coming again . I jumped much faster than last time as I wasn't as shocked as before . The blast of wind still knocked me back but I didn't fly through the air like the previous time .

I barely picked myself up and didn't even look back, I started running straight away . The woman chasing me said "So, it wasn't due to luck . You can really sense my attacks . How interesting . It's a shame you will die today" . I didn't say anything, My mind was focused on running only . I had no strength or time to respond to her bulls.h.i.+t .

Then I felt it again but this time, it seemed much faster and felt much more dangerous . I jumped to the side as much as I could but in the end, half of my right arm was cut off . "AAAAAAAGHH" I screamed from the pain and landed on the ground, gasping for air . The blood gushed out of my arm or rather whatever was left of it and the pain was immense . I screamed constantly due to the pain but I knew I had to stop the bleeding . I tore a piece of cloth that I had on me and quickly tightened it around my arm . It wasn't easy to do that either . As soon as I touched the wound, the pain became even greater . It was to the point where tears were flowing uncontrollably from my eyes .

The bleeding was no longer as severe as before but I felt extremely weak . I lost a lot of blood due to that . I stumbled forward like a dying man on a desert . I tried to get away, keep moving as far as I could . I then heard a faint voice of someone new . "Leave him alone, he is at the verge of dying anyway . We need to catch that Eterian and because of your games, it ran away pretty far" someone said . Then I heard the voice of that sword woman "You are one lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d but I guess you will die anyway . Enjoy the rest of your miserable life" .

I moved and moved until I was unable to move anymore . The pain and exhaustion was unbearable . I took off my bag that seemed to weight a tonne and took out some food . I needed energy in order to survive . Even though they left, I still wanted to survive . I ate everything I had and some of my energy returned but the pain never disappeared . 'Now I'm crippled . I need to get the other part of my arm back . With my knowledge of the Art of Medicine and the books I have, I should be able to connect it back together' . I went back to the place where half of my arm was cut off .

After a little search, I managed to find it and threw it into the bag . 'The bag will preserve my arm for a bit at least . I need to get out of here first, then I can think about attaching it . I shall remember that day . If we ever meat again, I will take your head!' I thought and moved east . I wasn't about to go the same direction as they did . I went the opposite way .

I traveled for the rest of the day . The pain subdued a bit but it was still very painful, especially if something touched my wound . Even a branch that I accidentally brushed past, caused a lot of pain . I had no more food and I was in very poor condition so large fights were out of question . Fortunately, I still had my other hand and I could throw my daggers . I managed to find and kill couple of normal wolves . I then collect their meat . . . eventually . Making the fire was not easy either . I used both hands to make the fire in the past but because one was not there, I struggled for almost 20 minutes to make the fire . With the fire lit, I roasted the meat and ate on the spot . The energy I used up increased due to the blood loss as well as constant traveling .

The wound was no longer bleeding which was fortunate but there was also a problem . 'I have no tools to st.i.tch my arm together . I need needle and a thread . Needle I could make from a bone somehow but a thread? Where would I get that?' I thought . Then a sudden idea hit me . "Tendons! Those are very flexible but st.u.r.dy as well, maybe this will allow me to st.i.tch my arm together" I said out loud .

Of course, I wasn't about to use my own tendons but a wolf's or bear's should work as well . At least that was what I hoped . I already had couple of them killed and tendons were present in every wolf . I threw some long tendons into my bag and then I had to make a needle . 'The needle has to be short but not brittle . I don't know if making one from a bone is possible but I have to try' I thought and took out the Corporeal Structure book . The book contain a chapter about bones and I should be able to find a suitable bone there .

After searching for a while, I came to the conclusion that the best bone for making a needle, would be one of the rib bones . It was elongated at one side and I could easily grind it down as well . It was flexible as well, it could break but the flexibility should allow for sewing without breaking .

I then remembered something . "So what if I sew it together? I still need to make it function as before . I have to connect all the nerves and whatnot . Otherwise my arm will be there just for show" I thought out loud . 'I have that book about the nerves, maybe this will be of help to me' I thought . I had too many things to prepare . I had to take it step by step . 'I have the tendons in my bag, that can be scratched from the list . I also need the needle . I should do it now while I have the wolf's rib cage' I thought and went towards one of the wolf carcase .

I removed couple of rib bones and brought them back to the campfire . I had no hand to hold the bone with and at the same time carve it with my dagger . I decided to use my feet as the means of holding the bone as I carved it into the needle . After a while of fiddling, I was finally able to carve a needle but it was a bit too thick . I started the process from the beginning, on another rib bone .

After 4 tries, I finally managed to make a needle thin enough . I placed all the needles back into my bag . I figured that I might need the other needles in the future as well and they were quite sharp too, just varied in thickness . With that accomplished and my stomach mostly satisfied . I thought about the herbs needed in order to st.i.tch my arm back .

'I have a few healing herbs with me, those can be used after the procedure . If I make a paste, it will not be as effective as properly produced medicine but h.e.l.l, it's always better than nothing . I wish I could heal it now but if I did that, then st.i.tching my arm back together would be even more difficult . I can't let it heal' I thought . My thoughts then continued 'I also need something to numb the pain and something to clean the wound' . It was evening already and I wasn't going to move out now, this would have to wait till the next day .

The last part was the procedure itself . 'I need to figure out how to st.i.tch my arm together properly . I need that arm to work as it did in the past' I thought and took out the Nerves and Pressure Points book . The book wasn't very thick and when I skimmed through it, about half of it was about nerves in human body while the later part was about pressure points .

I was not interested in pressure points at the moment . I focused on the "Nerves" part of the book . The first few pages contained descriptions about the nervous system and how it operated . On the 5th page, I found a diagram of all the nerves in human body . There was a note as well . It said "This is an approximation . The nerves in each individual will have a bit different locations" . 'At least the book specified that . Having that diagram is useful nevertheless' I thought .

I went couple of pages further an bingo . There was a larger diagram of a hand . 'Great! I now have an approximate diagram of the nervous system in my hand . I just need to find out how to treat nerves . If the book doesn't have it, I still know it's possible . Nick said he could do it, so can I!' I thought and read every page attentively . The voice of someone I rather not hear, sounded from behind me . So you survived that . I wonder if this was luck or you have very keen senses she said . s.h.i.+t, I cant get away from her nor can I kill her . What am I supposed to to?
