212 – Praise The Lord (8)
In small and medium-sized battles, the healer shows a particularly large presence.
In general, a mid-level healer can attach severed limbs without difficulty, as long as they have mana and holy power.
About 10 [The Hilte] Guild members, including Taylor, joined in a tense situation.
It is safe to say that this means that the war situation has passed to Locke and Claire.
Taylor walked toward the center of the stage without hesitation.
There were body fragments and bloodstains from instructors and armed groups on the stage.
[The Hilte] The guild members frowned at the horrific sight, but Taylor didn’t twitch an eyebrow.
Taylor stood next to Locke and Claire with brisk steps.
“Things don’t look good. Can we treat the injured right away?”
“I will. Thank you.”
Locke nodded, and Taylor immediately ordered the guild members to treat the wounded.
At that sight, the armed group lost their fighting spirit. There were only 14 of them, while the remaining group of Locke had 5 members. After Claire’s wide-area divinity buff, only 2 instructors were defeated, but 6 of them were defeated. And Locke and Claire, who can be called the main forces, are in good shape.
Also, Oswald, their leader, lost his left arm, and it is also difficult to fight anymore.
There was nothing more they could do. This raid was a clear failure.
“Take Oswald! After that, leave the scene immediately!”
When the person standing at the head of the armed group shouted, the others moved in perfect order. They stumbled and ran to Oswald, who was barely avoiding Piel’s sword.
Locke wasn’t willing to allow that.
“Everyone secure Oswald! Even if we lose everyone else, we must secure Oswald!”
Locke hit the floor with both palms.
Five thin stone walls rose from the ground at the same time, impeding the movement of the armed group.
At the same time, Claire approached the group of armed men and swung her greatsword.
The instructors also followed Claire and cut through the armed group. Hot blood and body fragments fluttered in the air.
However, the armed group did not feel the emotion of fear, and in the meantime succeeded in securing Oswald.
Earlier, the man who stood at the head of the armed group spoke to the struggling Oswald.
“You must go now, Oswald! If it’s too late, everyone dies! There are not even 5 people left!”
“Where do you dare to touch? Let go if you don’t want to die!”
“Oswald!”
“Let go! Even if I die here, I will kill those two young bastards!”
“······Forgive me, Oswald.”
He took a thick syringe from his bosom and inserted it into Oswald’s throat. Oswald still grunted, but about ten seconds later he collapsed with his eyes closed.
“Everyone gather around me! Leave immediately!”
The rest of the armed group hurriedly ran to him.
Claire, who had been witty by cutting up a group of armed men with an indifferent face, also rushed at him.
However, a group of armed men who were lying on the floor in a state of incapacity to fight interrupted her by grabbing her ankles with their hands.
“······Suck!”
At the same time, Claire trampled the armed group’s hands with her iron shoes.
Boo Woo Woong ──!
I threw the greatsword I was holding.
The target was the one who stood at the head of the group of armed men, who seemed to be the second in command of the group.
The greatsword flew in the correct direction and flew vigorously through the sky.
However, the greatsword cut through the air.
There was no one in the place where the target and the group of armed men, including Oswald, had been a while ago.
Claire recited with a calm expression.
“Mass Teleport….”
Mass teleport.
Circle 8 magic that teleports others besides yourself.
However, there is no 8th circle mage among armed groups, so it is highly likely that it is a magic scroll.
If you were a 8th class mage, your body would have been torn apart with one gesture.
‘It’s not something to be taken lightly.’
Since Odius Hannibal, the ‘last great wizard’ who finally achieved the 9th circle, the 9th circle wizard did not appear on the Kairenzena continent for over 200 years.
Of course, 8th circle wizards are also rare. There are only a handful of 8th circle magicians who deserve the evaluation of a one-man army better than anyone else on the entire continent.
Of course, scrolls are a different story. They can be crafted, but they are extremely rare items that are not easily obtainable.
The mere fact of using such an item proves that the group of armed men from earlier were not unusual.
‘So he must have done something with such a swollen liver.’
Ellinia Academy is no different from the symbol of the ‘Hero Society’. Since its establishment, the Academy has never been attacked by outsiders.
Attacking this place is a declaration of war against the vested interests of the current continent.
Moreover, since the first saint Isabella is also currently attending Ellinia Academy, according to the interpretation, the [Cult of Light] Is also the target of their declaration of war.
Claire had no idea where it was.
With that thought, Claire took her own greatsword.
Said a nearby therapist.
“Do you need treatment, Guardian Knight?”
“No, that’s fine.”
Claire replied calmly.
After a long time using the wide-area divinity buff, I almost ran out of divinity, but I wasn’t particularly hurt.
‘I don’t have anything else to do.’
About 10 healers will treat the wounded, and Locke will take care of Oswald’s case.
And he himself is a guardian knight of the [Cult of Light] Whose every move can be controversial. It may not matter much in this situation as they urgently came to support without knowing the reason, but if they were involved more than this, it could become scratched and scalded.
So Claire didn’t want to go in a hurry, so she decided to hold her seat for a while. He has nothing to do, so he looks around.
‘By the way…Why are all healers using mana?’
About 10 therapists treating the injured. All of them were using mana-based healing magic, not divine power.
Regarding healing, divine power is overwhelmingly more efficient than mana.
Of course, Claire is well aware of that fact.
······It’s such a strange thing.
Claire lifted both of his thumbs and pressed them against his own temples.
‘Have you become sensitive to unexpected situations?’
Is it because I saw a lot of blood after a long time?
I thought I had blunted this feeling after being with Isabelle for a long time and overcoming countless mountains of corpses.
With that thought, Claire looked around again.
Nearby, Theo was receiving treatment with her eyes closed and leaning against the wall. The therapist was a man named Taylor who introduced himself as the deputy branch manager.
‘I’m glad Theo is here.’
A small smile appeared on Claire’s lips, which had been a calm expression.
‘The saintess would be delighted.’
When she told Isabelle yesterday about what she found out about Theo, she opened her eyes wide and focused on her own story. Even doing reverse questions.
─Ah, really? If it was Claire’s words, she would be right… How can a person move that quickly?
─Perhaps because he comes from a great family, he seems to have a unique ability! Check that out too, Claire!
She’s usually bothered by everything in the world, but I’ve never seen Isabel look so interested.
It was a very strange experience.
‘Then, let’s share a few words.’
Claire approached the two of them. Theo still had her eyes closed, so she looked at Taylor and said,
“This is an excellent healing magic. As much as those who listen to Renimid-sama’s voice more closely.”
This was sincere.
The ‘output’ of Taylor’s healing magic was comparable to that of a high-ranking cleric of the [Cult of Light], Even though he used mana as a medium, which was inefficient in healing magic.
Her taylor looked up at her and smiled at her.
“hahahahaha, that’s too much praise. Would a mere healer, a nabber, be compared to the noble members of the church?”
“I don’t have the knack for praising others. But this boy, it looks like all of his injuries have healed, but there’s no sign of it happening. Are you asleep?”
“Yes, he fell asleep. Theo has a strong tendency to abuse her own body. The injury was completely healed even the contaminated energy that penetrated into the body, but the fatigue of the body had accumulated to the limit. Every muscle in the body is squeezed, tendon by tendon.”
Taylor smiled shyly.
Claire tilted her head.
“······Body blood? He’s such a strange boy. I’ve been training hard every day since I was little, but I’ve never fainted from fatigue. And the man who squeezes every tendon . . . Has neither heard nor seen.”
“Anyway, Theo-kun inherited the blood of the Balderc family, so I can understand why he is unusual. Of course, as for myself, I wonder if I will be able to see a patient who passes out due to fatigue, other than Theo-kun, hahahahaha. It’s not a joke that every tendon is squeezed, it’s a fact.”
“Is that so?”
Claire answered quietly, looking down at the sleeping Theo.
Her eyes twinkled with curiosity.
