Summoning Total War - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Winged Man (Part 1)

Murphy carefully picked up the elf-like creature, who was barely breathing, and tried his best not to touch her wounds.

Shortly after, he carefully and gently placed the female creature that looked like an elf and had white, clear wings, on a smooth blue-colored stone. Her face was beautiful and charming, and her elf-like features were captivating. Her body emitted a faint, fragrant scent that was similar to musk. As Murphy smelled it, he felt an unexplainable wild emotion stir inside him.

In this harpy race, which didn’t have any male creatures, almost all the female harpies would capture males from other races as spouses. On top of that, most of the harpies had the ability to easily charm men. Some powerful, sacrificial harpies even had the ability to perform a charming enchantment spell!

Men who have tasted meat are generally better able to resist women.

Of course, it was also because of this that the demand and need for women had also increased and had eventually evolved into a form of regular habit.

The body Murphy was in was barely 16 years old. It was still going through puberty and hadn’t yet finished growing and developing. Although he was starting to have desires toward the opposite sex and was curious, he was still far from having strong desires toward the opposite sex like what a fully developed man who was 20 to 25 years old would have. Hence, he would occasionally childishly hug the high priestess to enjoy the tender touch of a mature woman, but he didn’t really do anything else besides that.

After experiencing war and having a taste of what it was like, Murphy hadn’t stopped training. However, it took time to enhance his war and combat skills and required long hours of non-stop training.

All this while, Murphy would spend an hour or two each day learning war and combat skills from the warriors. First from the General Guards, then from the Spartan infantry. And this was why in the battle against the gnolls, Murphy had the courage to charge with the General Guards into the gnolls’ formation!

Lots of training and physical exertion could curb a man’s sexual desires, as all his energy would be exhausted. All this while, because he was still a teenager, Murphy never really had any strong sexual desires. Hence, when he carried that injured elf-like creature, Murphy came to the conclusion that the fragrant smell from her body was probably an aphrodisiac, which was why that fragrant smell had stirred passionate desires within him. At the very least, it had that sort of effect on him.

Murphy took out the bottle of Holy Water from his pocket and carefully poured it into her mouth.

The Holy Water, which was kept in the temple, was like healing medicine. It was for humans and other living creatures. It would even heal a gnoll or kobold slave if it was used on them. However, the Holy Water’s healing properties only lasted for 24 hours after leaving the shrine. After that period of time, the Holy Water would lose its healing abilities and wouldn’t be any different from water. For the time being, the territory didn’t sell its Holy Water. Only some slave traders who had tight and close trading relations with the town were able to buy some at a high price.

The elf-like creature’s severe injuries and excessive blood loss had caused her to lose her ability to swallow. Her chest was still faintly rising up and down, but the Holy Water that was poured into her mouth slowly overflowed and slid down the corners of her mouth.

What should he do?

Murphy looked at the beautiful creature, whose breathing was slowly becoming weaker and weaker, and couldn’t help but furrow his brows a little.

If you wanted to save someone, do it until it’s done! If you wanted to escort Buddha to the West, do it until it’s done!

Murphy gritted his teeth, took the bottle, and poured a mouthful of Holy Water into his mouth. Afterward, he leaned forward and carefully sealed his mouth around the lips of the elf-like creature, who was lying on the blue stone, and pried her teeth open with his tongue. Murphy gently stroked her chest and delicately ferried the holy water into her mouth. After ferrying the holy water, Murphy switched to gently supporting her chin with his hand while blowing into her mouth!

Her throat trembled, and the elf-like creature, who was barely breathing, finally swallowed the Holy Water when her survival instincts kicked in.

As soon as the Holy Water entered her stomach, the Holy Water, with its strong healing abilities, began to do its job. The elf-like creature’s charming face flushed, and her breathing became stronger from the looks of the rise and fall of her chest.

She opened her mouth and gasped for breath. Still in a semi-comatose state, she instinctively grabbed Murphy with her hands.

“What a tremendous display of strength!”

Murphy felt something grip him tightly, and then he felt a pain in his arm. Soon, he realized that the female elf-like creature was grabbing his hand. Her sharp nails had pierced into his skin, and blood was starting to ooze down his hand.

This was done instinctively and in a subconscious state, so although his hand hurt, Murphy wasn’t angry at all.

He gently stroked the chest of the unconscious elf-like creature with his hand and slowly calmed down her rapid breathing. As Murphy did this, the elf-like creature, who had gotten half her life back, gradually loosened her tight grip around his hand.

Due to the fact that the injury was severe, Murphy had to use three times the amount of Holy Water used for humans!

Although this would likely have an impact on her future health, it would be better than her dying right here.

After getting up, Murphy realized that all the blood he was covered with was from the other party. Heaving a sigh of relief, Murphy began to use his hands to deal with the arrows in her body. The arrows were roughly 60 centimeters in length. The archer who had shot the arrows must have been really strong, because more than half of them had been shot through her body, leaving only some arrow feathers on her back. Fortunately, the arrows were made from wood and weren’t the kind that was made from pure metal. Because of this, Murphy could break the arrows before pulling them out. Otherwise, he would have to dig into the wound and forcefully pull them out of her body.

If he had to do that, the creature’s chances of survival would be really low!

Murphy used his hands and grabbed onto the end of the arrow and tried to break it with all his might!

Yet for some reason, it didn’t break.

The beautiful female let out a painful moan, and her body started to tremble. Her pair of white and pure wings began to flap uncontrollably, and her body broke out in a cold sweat!

The arrow seemed to be made of really strong material! Murphy used all his strength to break it, but it still wouldn’t break. Without any other options, he pulled out the sword at his waist, grabbed onto the end of the arrow, and used all his strength to try to slice through it.

Clang!

The metal arrowhead dropped to the ground.

Due to the severe pain, the elf-like creature went from her semi-comatose state to being completely comatose.

Blood began to overflow from the wound, and her breathing, which had gotten better thanks to the Holy Water, started to become a lot weaker again. The beautiful female, who was comatose, furrowed her eyebrows, and her charming face turned morbidly pale from the severe pain. Like a beautiful woman who was morbidly worried about her looks, one couldn’t help but pity her.

Murphy was gentle as he handled her. He carefully sprinkled Holy Water over the wound and then gently lifted her up.

Everything had to be done in one movement. Otherwise, the pain would become more intense!

It was better to just get it over with than prolong the agony!

Murphy supported her back with his left hand and held the feathered end of the arrow with his right hand.

When he pulled out the arrow, his hands had to be steady, and the arrow had to be pulled out in a straight line. Otherwise, it would be really easy to injure her internal organs! And the faster he pulled out the arrow, the better. The faster he pulled it out, the less pain there would be. Looking at her current state, if the pain became too severe, her body could possibly go into a state of shock!

He took a deep breath.

Murphy tightly grabbed onto the feathered end of the arrow and forcefully pulled it out!

A burst of warm blood gushed out and splashed onto Murphy’s body. He sprinkled the Holy Water on the wound while he gently held her. Murphy took off his clothes with one hand and then took off his underwear, which was made of silk. He tore the expensive silk underwear into long strips. After this, he tied the wound in a rather poor fashion, eventually ending it with a bow-knot right at the front.

He let out a huge yawn.

Murphy carefully put the elf-like creature down. Under the influence of the Holy Water, although her face was still pale, her breathing had stabilized. If nothing unexpected happened, he had pretty much saved her life.

Only at that point did Murphy have the opportunity to take a good look at her face.

Taking a closer look, he realized that the female creature, with its pair of white and clear wings, was indeed really pretty with her classic beautiful elven face!

She really did look just like an angel.
