Chapter 210: Healing Magic 01

“Well for starters, don’t give your enemy a chance to talk mid-battle.”

Ramy heard a voice behind his ears and then his legs became limp. He fell to his knees while still looking at Eren in front of him, which soon turned out to be his afterimage.

Eren could have knocked Ramy out. But he settled for breaking the guy’s stance with his lightning-powered punch. This time, Eren also sent Blitz Bolt through Ramy’s body the way he sent his sound way through his.

Due to this, both were about to fail their spells. But Ramy had to give in first because Eren’s transformation allowed him to sustain Ramy’s debuff on him for longer.

Plus, Eren’s BTP value was higher than his teammate. In the brief stalemate they experienced, Ramy broke first, causing him to suffer the fate of being defeated.

“That wasn’t cool, Ewen. You say not let youw enemy talk, and yet you talked with me youwself.”

Ramy said while grabbing Eren’s hand that the latter had offered to make him get up from the ground. The butcher shrugged his shoulders before saying:

“I meant not to let your opponent talk when you have all the advantages or have them cornered. I didn’t say don’t engage with your enemies yourself. You should, when you want to buy time.”

Eren said and started walking towards his other teammates who were standing at a distance from them. Ramy followed him behind while asking him for some more tips:

“Ewen, is thewe anything else I need to impwove on?”

Eren didn’t look back after hearing Ramy’s question. He scratched his chin and pondered a bit before saying:

“Your silent incantation takes time. Instead of suffering in silence, it would do you better if you followed your earlier strategy of buying time with, let’s say, your intriguing usage of words.

Your swordplay needs a lot of work too. But even with your shoddy skill, it has allowed you to defend yourself while the silent incantation takes effect. With enough mastery and efficient spell use, it could turn out to be your biggest advantage in future.”

Eren said and beckoned at Ana to come forward with his index finger. The healer did as she was asked, a bit tensed by the test she was soon going to undertake.

Eren had gathered his team to test the skills of his other team members that hadn’t partic.i.p.ated in the team’s matches much. Among the trio, Ramy was the first to be tested. Ana was the next.

“Ana, are you ready? Don’t worry. For today, just your healing skills will be tested. You haven’t even practised combat arts. So there’s no use testing that. Because you would suck at it.”

Eren gave it to Ana straight without mincing his words. Eren’s first half of his speech made her feel happy. As long as she could put her healing skills to the test and nothing else, she was pretty confident. But it was the latter part of his speech that made her upset a bit.

But the butcher didn’t pay attention to Ana’s puffed cheeks and carried on:

“Ramy, come forward. Ana, heal this guy. I’ve given him a few blunt injuries as well as some katar wounds just for this test. Treat them all.”

Ana looked at Ramy as if he was some poor beggar. Eren had used him as a guinea pig to test Ana’s skill. But the guy himself wasn’t bothered by Eren’s treatment of him at all. It only made sense in Ramy’s head that Eren would be this efficient with all that he does.

Ana was a wood element user. Her healing spells augmented the effectiveness of her elemental affinity. As a result, she was able to heal most normal injuries in a jiffy without expending much mana.

Ana walked up to Ramy and looked at his injuries at close range. Then she retrieved a seed from her storage s.p.a.ce and dropped it on the ground.

Ana then executed her spell, Beanstalk Betterment, which made the seed she had just dropped take roots in the ground and sprout with super accelerated speed. The seed soon turned into a healthy-looking, lush green plant, which was twice Ramy’s height. It exuded freshness and vitality. It also dispersed a mild pleasant aroma in the air, calming the spectators’ senses.

Under the guidance of Ana’s mana sense, the tree had its vines wrapped around Ramy’s limbs. The vines found their mark which was all the injuries on Ram’s body and started working on them by dispersing healing magic.

Ramy felt like all his injuries were getting anaesthetized because of the cooling effect the vines had on his skin upon the point of contact. The cooling effect soon seeped deeper into Ramy’s body, reaching into his internal organs and healing his blunt force injuries.

Once the internal injuries had been taken care of, Ana focused on treating the katar wound on Ramy’s body. The cuts weren’t deep enough. So it became easier for her to close them quickly.

Ramy was fine a few moments after Ana’s spell was executed. Ramy was satisfied with what he had experienced so far. But Eren wasn’t. He needed more.

“Ana, please recover his mana as well.”

Eren requested Ana as if it were a command. This was Ana’s real test. Recovering your mana pa.s.sively or with your ranking technique was one thing. But recovering it for someone else was something else. It required the expertise of a healer.

Ana recovered another of her plant seeds from her storage and followed the same procedure. The plant that popped up this time had the same height as the previous one. But instead of being pure green, the leaves of the tree were azure in colour.

The azure tree didn’t have any vines. Instead, it had flowers with buds of pollen packed in their centre. Under Ana’s mana sense guidance, the pollens were dispersed all around Ramy. they were dissolved into his skin right after they came in contact.

The mana core in Ramy’s body was revolving rapidly as it was refilled with its depleted mana. This time, the process lasted even shorter, allowing the knight to reach the peak of his status in no time.
