Chapter 69: Sekhmet
Chapter 69: Sekhmet
The Divine Spirit inside her. Sleeping inside was a Divine Deity known by the name of Sekhmet. The Egyptian lion goddesses and the goddesses of healing.
This was a Chain Resonance Phenomenon where awakening and breakthrough of one Divine Spirit leads to the awakening of other Divine Spirits around it.
The reason it got triggered was simple. The Asclepius twins were mainly known for their healing attributes, and Sekhmet was also known for her healing attributes. When the spirit inside Luo Rin sensed the power of the Asclepius twins, it got the signal that the right time has come for it to enter the new world and help out its owner.
Many things were happening at the same time. On one side, Xin was trying to recharge those snakes with magiculus particles, while on the other side, Luo Rin had unknowingly awakened her powers.
Jia, the youngest and the wounded member of the group, was resting inside her tent when she saw a dazzling light coming from the outside.
She was sure it wasn't a fire nor the dazzling sunlight of the day, 'Then what could be the source of this light?' She pondered deep inside. Without wasting much time in contemplation, she got up from her bed and tried to have a look at the campsite. She wanted to go out and check personally, but her body wasn't in a condition to do so.
"Holy Shit!!" She blurted out in fear.
Standing before her was a big giant with the head of a lioness and the body of a human. And this giant was the reason for the light invading inside her tent. She had no idea what that thing was and where its origin was. But she knew one thing for sure, that she mustn't show any hostile behavior towards it. The spirit of Sekhmet was releasing a unique light healing flora and fauna around it. And Jia was not an exception in it.
Just by coming in contact with that light, Jia's wound started healing at a faster rate than before. Just a minute ago, she was having difficulty sitting and walking around, but after getting basked in that light, she had recovered enough to jump around and gobble up the food near her.
She wanted to go out and bask her entire body in that light, but for some reason, her instinct was telling her not to do so. If the Asclepius twins were known for their kind and gentle healing, Sekhmet was known for her brutal and aggressive healing.
She was one of those spirits who would harm her patients, even more to cure them of their wounds and diseases. Sekhmet also had a strong sense of justice in her heart.
Before healing any patient, she would check her life record and weigh the points of her good deeds and bad deeds. If the person has virtue is negative then forget healing she would harm them even more and may end up killing that person in that process.
And if that person has enough good deeds, she would harm them even more to give them a perfect recovery from their diseases. Whether you are good or bad doesn't matter if someone went near her for healing that that person would get tortured for sure, be it a virtuous person or a devilish.
Jia wasn't aware of all those things, but her hunter instinct was telling her not to go near that thing. Go near, and your death will be inevitable.
As she was pondering what to do next, a warm, gentle light passed through her body, making her feel drowsy. This was the light containing the gentle blessings of the Asclepius twins.
"Wahh~~!!" She exclaimed in a low voice. Her entire body was completely healed. Any sort of remaining pain vanished after coming in contact with that light.
She wasn't sure about the origin of that second light, but she was sure of one thing, that it was way much gentle and heartwarming than before.
Amidst her contemplation, the light began to dim away, and the giant started to disappear in the air. The surroundings became apparent, and the small, timid figure of Luo Rin became visible.
Jia was astonished when she spotted their private doctor in the middle of the camp, where the giant was standing earlier. According to her speculation, either that girl was a goddess sent from heaven or been possessed by a divine deity.
Now that the gigantic figure was gone, she could have gone near her and ask her about that healing ray, but for some reason, Jia could feel an oppressive aura around Luo Rin.
She was afraid if she goes now, she may get more wounded than her previous time. Believe it, or not her speculations were precisely on point.
At that time, Luo Rin was not in her senses. It was the Egyptian Spirit Sekhmet who had taken possession of her body temporarily.
A few minutes ago, when the spirit awoke from its deep slumber, it happened to sense its friend Fenrir nearby. And after having a look at the situation, she understood the situation around his friend Fenrir.
She deduced that the baby pup had inherited the power of the Great Fenrir. And was undergoing the process of soul integration.
On the other side of the forest, when the giant projection of Sekhmet appeared, the other members of the team witnessed its power, including Ron, Simon, and Sk.
All their wounds were completely cured, and the bleeding from earlier stopped all of a sudden. If it were someone else, he or she would have started praying to that projection. But for Simon and his team, they were praying no matter what happens, that thing shouldn't come near them.
Jia was looking at that gigantic projection from its backside and had no idea about its facial expressions. But that was not the case with Simon and his group, who were directly looking at the face of the projection.
Red eyes, lion head, and a devilish expression. More than enough material to make them tremble at their places. The Sekhmet projection didn't have any expression like that in the beginning. But when it sensed its friend Fenrir and got to know its situation, her expression changed, and she started releasing an oppressive aura.
Sekhmet's will to help Fenrir was strong enough that she took over Luo Rin's body temporarily. Jia wasn't trying to approach Luo Rin and was observing her from a distance.
Hush!!
Her figure disappeared in the thin air. Jia, who was keeping an eye on her, got baffled by this. Hurriedly she put on her jacket and went to the place where Luo Rin was standing earlier.
"The fck," She cursed out, "Where is that girl now?" Though she was curious about that projection, she was also worried about Luo Rin.
She was observing her from the beginning and realized Luo Rin was a timid kiddo like her. To be precise, as she used to be in the past. Jia and Luo Rin were in the same age group, but one became brave with time while the other was still a timid kiddo.
On the other side of the forest, the Giant Wolf was looking up towards the night sky with a dazed expression on its face. As if it was waiting for something or waiting for somebody.
Shush!!
Luo Rin, currently possessed by Sekhmet, reached near the place where Simon and his team members were standing in a daze. They had been sucked out of their strength after witnessing the devious expression of the projection.
No one was making a sound or any movements. All of them were standing still at their places. When Luo Rin came into their sight, Simon was the first to recover and went near her running with hopes.
"Miss Rin, you came at the right time. Please have a look at Sk and the others," Simon pleaded with agitation.
Luo Rin didn't reply anything to him and just nodded her head to agree to his request. Seeing the arrival of their personal doctor Simon took a breath of relief. He sat down on the ground and let Luo Rin treat her girlfriend Sk.
Sk was also feeling a sense of relief upon the arrival of their personal doctor when she suddenly felt something was wrong with her.
Her hunter instinct was alerting her that instead of a doctor, a predator was coming near her. Like Jia, Sk was also observing Luo Rin since the time she joined her team. According to her, she was a timid kiddo who excels at medical studies and practicals.
She used to give out an aura of love and compassion, but the Luo Rin before her was giving out the feeling of dominance and oppression.
The others hadn't felt that oppression yet, and Sk was the only one to get a hunch about it. She didn't state it before anyone but was waiting for Luo Rin to show her true colors.
