She endeavored to take a deep breath, feeling the pang in her chest as she slowed her breathing, reaching into her system backpack for the healing potion.

Excellent

Potion

Rapidly restores severe injuries prior to breakdown, swiftly heals ordinary injuries post-breakdown!
A life-saving elixir, exceedingly precious, to be used with caution; deploying it while uninjured could have adverse effects!
Now was the opportune mont to use it. With ambitious players behind her and predatory monsters ahead, any vulnerability here could spell her demise.
Athena uncorked the vial of healing potion, a faint fragrance wafting into her nostrils. Just the scent alone invigorated her spirits.
Bringing the potion to her lips, she gulped it down, the icy liquid coursing down her throat, green light emanating from her wounds, healing at an astonishing pace.
A panacea for all ailnts, a resurrection to full health.
Experiencing this wondrous bodily transformation, she drew the attention of the nearby grassball Mikmik, cradling it in her arms, soothing its tousled fur satisfactorily before setting it down.
Once again, she retrieved the Moonlight Bow, taking cover behind rocks, vigilant of her surroundings.
Athena observed cautiously, and before long, she noticed so unusual movents. Figures seed to stir in the distant woods. Gripping the Moonlight Bow tightly, she prepared to confront the impending danger.
As the footsteps drew nearer, Athena finally discerned the newcors. They had been drawn by the flas and explosions, seeking nothing more than an opportunity.
There were four in total, clearly a cohesive group, emboldened to approach from this direction. Their intentions were unmistakable. The four individuals dispersed, each heading towards the direction of the flas, utterly oblivious to the lone figure atop a distant slope.
After brief consideration, Athena decided to let them pass. Amidst the pervasive peril, she had no desire to engage in combat and attract further attention.
The sowhat portly man rubbed his hands nervously, his eyes darting fearfully around. He felt as though a monster could spring at him from any direction or soone might suddenly appear and threaten his life. Every step he took was cautious, yet he continued to follow closely behind the others.
When Potato arrived, he was still full of anticipation and ambition. But upon arrival, he was imdiately besieged. Without hesitation, he turned to Athena for help. Having been hiding all along, even his white clothes remained pristine, not a hair out of place.
In contrast, the one in front of him, Ask-For-The-Heavens, was covered in bloodstains, his clothes tattered. The only clean aspect was his face behind the glasses.
"Boss, where are we going? Are we heading towards the place where the light was just now?" The re thought made Potato swallow involuntarily, feeling his hairs stand on end.
Co on, with such a commotion, clearly a fierce battle is underway. They can barely avoid detection even by sneaking, so why would anyone charge towards danger? I can't fathom these elites' logic!
Ask-For-The-Heavens paused, turning his head slightly to glance at him. "Leave all your scrolls behind; you're free to go."
"Oh, ha-ha-ha-ha, no, no! Just kidding, just kidding. I'll stick with you; it's an extra at shield for you. Plus, I can keep using scrolls!" This was Potato's offer, aiming to latch onto this powerful figure.
On this journey, he had truly witnessed Ask-For-The-Heavens's prowess. This seemingly frail young man was terrifying when it ca to combat. The first ti he witnessed that bloody scene, he was frozen in place with fear.
Ask-For-The-Heavens ignored him, continuing forward on his own. Unlike others who rushed in panic, their pace remained unhurried, showing no concern that they might arrive after the battle had ended.
Half a day had passed since the competition began. Everyone was gradually grasping the intricacies of the regional battle, striving to climb the rankings.
At this mont, a fierce battle erupted, drawing many opportunist players to it.
Unlike the commotion here, Big Bear seed to belong in this forest. Upon arriving, it was as if she had returned ho.
When she first arrived, she had tried to find Athena, but to no avail. So, she leisurely found a place to settle down with an old man, quietly waiting.
No monsters or people had disturbed them.
Her courage grew, and after catching a small rabbit with the old man, she cleaned it by the river, lit a fire, and began roasting it, presenting the image of a camping trip.
To her surprise, the old man, seeing her becoming too relaxed, woke her up for training. While he worked on his old trade, chopping wood nearby.
Even after clearing a small circle of trees around them, they still hadn't attracted anything. They lived as though on vacation, until she heard a loud explosion from across the river.
Startled, she jumped up and appeared behind the old man as if teleporting, squatting down and tightly grabbing his shoulder.
"Why is there still fighting? What's with the explosion?!" she exclaid.
The old man pushed her hand away sternly, turning to her with a serious expression. "This is regional battle, not a vacation spot!"
Wide-eyed, Big Bear seed to comprehend. "Then let's run; there's a fight over there." Her actions were as swift as her thought process, but unfortunately, she still went back to get her roasted rabbit, only to be caught by the old man.
"No, we stay," the old man shook his head. Big Bear still had much to learn. Otherwise, even with them around, the days ahead wouldn't be as easy.
Panicked, Big Bear spun around, but under the old man's unwavering gaze, she reluctantly agreed.
Finally satisfied, the old man nodded. Though this young woman lacked in many aspects, her obedience was her only redeeming quality.
People were converging from all directions, including from Region 003. This was more than Athena had anticipated, far exceeding her expectations.
Most of the combatants had arrived, and Athena's earlier skirmish was just the beginning.
Did they not anticipate the influx of people? No, it was precisely because they knew many would gather here that they ca.
So ca to fight, so to observe, and of course, so chose to head in the opposite direction.
With the top ten plus Athena, this place would witness the convergence of three powerhouses.
This would be one of the largest free-for-alls since the beginning of the regional battle, now enclosed within the barrier.
