Chapter 108 Do You Want to Heal This Foot?

The queen spiders silk snapped in the air, as if it was being disassembled.

The three of them were speechless at the sight of the red rain.

And then they all opened their mouths a beat late.

Flan!

Youre here!

The fact that there was a huge beast in front of them, or that they were in a dangerous area, was irrelevant in the face of their joy.

But Flan didnt even look at them.

I have something to teach you, so focus on defense for now.

He said that and nothing more, keeping his eyes fixed on the queen spider.

The three of them soon understood what he meant.

The spider seemed to be furious at being interrupted in its play, and it thrashed around, swinging its red silk.

Louis quickly created several thin pillars of light.

He overlapped them like bars to block the attacks.

Crash!

What the

He blurted out in disbelief.

Each strand of red silk felt like a steel whip.

Avoid the dangerous area if possible.

No, avoid it at all costs.

The warnings they had heard over and over played in their heads again.

Huh? My ice shield!

They all struggled to defend themselves.

Some of the whips even snatched away Beckys ice shield.

Dont panic now!

Ah, yeah!

The spider became more enraged as its whips were blocked.

Hundreds of red whips crossed in the air, creating a hypnotic scene that made their minds go blank.

My arm is getting numb!

Trixie frowned at Beckys scream.

She would have scolded her for whining, but now she didnt think it was an exaggeration.

This was a really tough beast.

Ugh!

She felt a sharp pain from below.

At the same time, Trixies body floated in the air.

A red silk had wrapped around the girls ankle.

A mage should have a wide view.

Flan gave her a piece of advice and cut the silk.

Her ankle, which she thought was slightly caught, was bruised from being wrapped by the whip.

I cant drag this out.

She could tolerate one or two attacks. But the real problem was that she had to fight longer while injured.

Then she had to end it in one blow. freewe(b)novel.c(o)m

Trixie poured all her strength into the blue flame and shot it straight.

No matter how dangerous the beast was, it couldnt survive this strike.

She thought that, but then.

The spider pulled its silk and jumped into the air, dodging Trixies flame.

It dodged?

It was not only violent, but also intelligent.

She felt a chill down her spine at the thought of having to deal with its mind games.

Could she beat this beast with her current level?

Having doubts meant she wasnt sure.

If Flan hadnt joined them, Trixie would have been one of the corpses.

One by one, the faces of the representatives turned to one person.

Of course, it was Flan.

Good. Lets stop here for now.

Flan muttered and reached out his hand.

Fl

Becky tried to call his name out loud, but she couldnt finish the last letter.

To be precise, she didnt feel the need to finish it.

Flan had just stretched out one hand.

The urgency of the situation and the desperation in their hearts vanished at once.

Finally, his hand grabbed the red silk.

Sssss

It was like paint spreading.

She was surprised to see him grab the whip-like silk with his hand, but she was more shocked to see it turn blue.

Trixie couldnt help but be captivated by the sight.

She loved the blue that spread before her eyes.

The next moment.

Kieeeek!

The spider lost its freedom and was toyed with.

It bit, twisted, and led itself to death.

Crack.

Something broke and the sound hit the ears of the three.

The spider beast that had ruled as a queen was soon nothing but a corpse.

Trixie blinked without realizing it.

She regretted not being able to see the blue she wanted to hold for longer.

As they all tried to thank her.

Youll have to get used to that level of difficulty.

Flans words were faster.

Rather, this is on the weaker side. You guys will have to-

For a while, his long lecture continued, and the three of them had no choice but to listen quietly.

After giving some advice, I didnt immediately take a step.

There were two things I had to do before moving on.

The first one was a minimum of courtesy.

Since I didnt want their bodies to be ridiculed after they had left the world, I made a temporary coffin and put the knights corpses in it.

Next to me, Louis and Becky murmured a word each with solemn faces.

Its a pity. Even though they werent strangers.

I know. Should we say they were unlucky

But my interest was in the discomfort.

The reason I didnt close the lid of the coffin was not because of the tribute to them, but because of a simple question.

In the first place, they werent skilled enough, to be easily defeated by the demons.

When I was at the temporary shelter, I checked the strength of the knights nearby and activated the magic circle.

The question was not only that. These corpses were more like

Lets check it out for ourselves from now on.

I shook my head and brushed off my thoughts.

Anyway, Ill know the truth soon enough.

I did the second thing of the remaining tasks.

It was healing.

I applied healing magic over the representatives wounds.

It was only at the level of emergency treatment, but there was nothing more important than emergency treatment in a long-term battle.

Wow. Thats unexpected.

I know. I really didnt expect this.

Becky and Louis exchanged glances with their eyes wide open.

To them, the fact that I healed them seemed like a big deal.

I clicked my tongue.

You guys are a lot of trouble. There wont be a second time.

No. Flan, I didnt mean it like that.

Becky quickly waved her hands to both sides.

She looked at me with a curious eye for a while.

Um Flan.

At some point, Becky opened her mouth again.

About that spider, is it really on the weak side?

Probably. We dont have to face only demons from now on.

Hmm, I see.

Beckys face showed a slight worry.

I said a short word to her.

Theres no need to be afraid.

Huh? Oh, yeah. Okay.

She blinked her eyes a few times. Her head turned to the side with a slight blush.

If Flan says so, Ill do that. Yeah.

Becky kicked the ground with her toes and muttered.

But the fact that there was no need to be afraid was not just a word to comfort Becky.

Rather, it was close to a fact that I could say calmly.

By the way, Flan, are you okay?

This time, Louis asked me how I was doing.

It wasnt a polite greeting, he was actually worried about me.

Is that a question?

Haha, did I give it away? I was just grateful.

Louis smiled brightly.

Actually, it would be easier for you if you gave up on us. You could do well on your own, Flan. But Im curious and grateful that youre taking care of us.

Dont you want to reach a higher rank?

Huh?

I said quietly to him.

Just as I said.

Hmm Yeah. I want to reach at least rank 6.

Louis cautiously gave an answer.

That was enough for now.

Im just helping you a little bit.

The dean of the magic department.

Conette promised me that she would arrange a class for me if I won in the Hunting competition successfully.

Three stones, an ancient rune-related object that sleeps in a dangerous area, and the Hunting competition results.

These three elements would surely be the compass for those who followed.

I wished that magic would become great in this world as soon as possible.

And their growth rate is not bad.

They didnt seem to realize it themselves yet, but the three of them were growing fast.

And that was why I was willing to help and heal them.

If they had no potential, I would have given up on them.

The fact that they defended themselves from the queen spiders attack, the fact that they breathed without difficulty in this place where the air was stale, the fact that they maintained their calmness

All of these could not be explained by being lucky.

In other words, even now, all three of them are developing the skills to back themselves up.

I felt a natural desire to see them grow more.

My eye for spotting gems among them was not wrong.

The royal family, who recently started to show interest in the magic department, would soon realize their value.

I put aside my thoughts for now. I still had to treat Trixies injury.

Stretch out your foot. Trixie.

But Trixie pulled her foot back slightly.

She shook her head as if she was fine.

Im okay.

I wish you wouldnt make this difficult.

Im fine, I tell you. Ouch!

She stumbled back and then curled up her leg.

Trixie desperately hid her foot.

She licked her lips a few times and then turned her head away.

I sighed and looked at her.

She was obviously lying.

It was clear that her left foot was not moving properly.

I didnt want to waste time.

I used psychokinesis to grab her ankle.

Trixie flinched and reacted.

What, what are you doing? I said Im okay.

I didnt answer, but instead used healing magic on her ankle.

Maybe she realized that her claim was a bit forced, because Trixie soon changed her words.

Look somewhere else. Somewhere else while you do it.

Trixie covered her face with her palm, but it didnt take long for me to see why.

Her foot was badly burned.

As soon as she saw my gaze, Trixie added hastily.

I told you not to look. Its ugly.

I didnt answer, but asked a question instead.

Why is your foot like this?

Why are you picking a fight all of a sudden?

Trixie widened her eyes as if she was incredulous, but then relaxed her expression a bit when she met my harmless gaze.

I asked again quietly.

There must be a reason for this, right?

I dont remember. It was a long time ago. Are you done healing?

Trixie tried to pull her foot away as if she was running away.

But I held onto her ankle.

I looked closely and I thought I knew the cause.

There was a trace of magic burn on the top of her foot.

I asked again, this time differently.

Do you want to fix this foot?

Trixie paused for a moment, then answered quietly.

Youre asking the obvious.

Removing the magic burn was not as complicated as it seemed. However, I was someone who considered these scars as glory.

Its not ugly at all.

I said that much for now.

At that moment, Trixies body stiffened.

She gasped, and her mana scattered wildly.

Soon, Trixie blinked several times and looked at me. Her eyes were wavering with shock and doubt.

Wha, what.

She pulled her foot away a beat late and stood up quickly.

She seemed to be fine.

She brushed her bangs on her forehead several times.

Finally, she said one word.

Youre a weird one.

It was a tone that was not very sharp.

After finishing the treatment, I led the representatives and headed to the dangerous area.

As we walked, the road split into two, three branches, but we had no hesitation because we had a map.

And finally, when we reached the end of the road.

What is this?

A temple? Its huge.

All three of them opened their eyes wide and looked around.

What appeared before us was a gigantic temple.

It was a building that was enough to awe with its size alone.

Becky parted her lips with a nervous look.

Are we going in there now?

As soon as she said that.

Huh?

Kugugugu!

A purple mist filled the sight and the ground shook violently.

I cant see ahead!

Be careful, everyone. Youre next to me, right?

When the fog cleared and I regained my sight, the path I had walked so far had turned into a gloomy forest.

A cold sweat dripped from Beckys forehead.

So this is what it feels like when the terrain changes in real time in the danger zone.

Thanks to that, we have no choice but to enter the temple now.

Louis muttered and stuck out his tongue next to me.

I calmly led them on.

I was planning to go inside the temple anyway.

The three of them followed me, occasionally looking back, as if they were amazed by the sudden change of the landscape.

But my interest was in the inside of the temple.

There were beings that emitted intense energy, as if to show off their power.

Trixie licked her lips with a serious face, as if she had sensed that energy too.

Theres something in there. Something dangerous.

We walked along the straight corridor of the temple.

The place, which must have been full of antique decorations, was now covered with corpses of monsters.

And finally, when the end of the corridor came into view, I faced the owner of the intense energy.

Knights.

As expected, they were knights, not monsters.

No, but they couldnt be called pure knights either.

They started talking to each other after they spotted our party.

Some magicians have come this time.

Thats rather good. I wanted to ask them for their responsibility for dragging us into the danger zone.

As I listened to their conversation, I quietly traced their energy. At the same time, I felt a familiar feeling from somewhere.

Then. Becky, who was next to me, recognized the opponent.

Kian of the Azure Knights? Why, you the guy who lost all his points to me at the gambling den!

That happened too, right. Youre still not my type, though~ But nice to see you.

She frowned as she scrutinized his well-combed blond hair and blue eyes.

Ugh, hes so smug. Why are they blocking the corridor here?

Beckys words made Kian react, but before he could say anything, I spoke up.

Kian, was it?

I finally realized the source of my discomfort.

The Azure guys were still spewing out intense energy, and my senses never lied.

Why did you k**l the other knights?

There was a moment of silence.

But it was clear.

The energy I felt from the corpses matched theirs perfectly.

But this was not purely the energy of knights.

It was closer to that of Witches.

Hmm

Kian rubbed his chin and pondered.

He rolled his eyes from side to side, then exchanged glances with the other Azure knights.

And finally.

He shrugged his shoulders and dropped his smile.

So what?

His neck was marked with a dark vein.
