Chapter 86 - Goddess Of Healing
Khrom stood in front of tens of stretchers on which wounded lay, moaning and groaning with pain and misery. Barret looked at Khrom and asked. "Did Sir Kadyn really say to bring these people into the shop?"
"Do you think I would lie about such an important matter?" Khrom replied helplessly. Barret had asked the same question over four or five times on the way to the shop, and he still didn't seem convinced.
Just when Barret was about to speak once more a voice came from not far away. "You are already here." Kadyn walked with Elora, Hot Rod, and his son, Dion. he looked around and saw the condition of the soldiers on the litter and a grave expression appeared on his face.
Some had broken legs, while some had twisted arms. There was a guy with a half-face caved in, one could see blue veins pumping inside. One had lost his eye, only goop remained in the eye socket, while others were covered in blood and gore with broken ribs or broken backbone.
At the time of the battle, Kadyn didn't pay much attention to these people but now when he looked he felt a chill through his spine. Their condition was more critical than he had thought. And all of this was because of a single attack by Zephyr.
Kadyn could not imagine what would have happened if she had attacked once more. He felt great respect for Elder Jyn at this moment who dared to fight head-on with a beast like Zephyr and held it for some time until that mysterious woman appeared.
He looked at Elora and said. "Can you do this?"
Elora looked at the condition of the wounded, and her expression turned sullen. She could tell how grievously injured they were. Taking a deep intake of cold breath, she said. "I can try."
Kadyn nodded. Barret heard their conversation and his face couldn't help but twitch. Are you kidding me? You aren't even sure if you can heal them. Then why even bother? Are you trying to kill them? However, he dared not speak such words directly to Kadyn. After thinking for some time he asked. "Sir, how much do we need to pay for healing our people?"
Kadyn looked at him and shook his head. "You don't need to pay for this once. This is free. All of them are our heroes who didn't back down in the face of such a terrible enemy. How could I charge you anything?"
Barret was left stunned at his reply. Since when did you become such a benevolent man? He thought, but on the surface, he smiled and said. "Then I will thank you on the behalf of every soldier."
Kadyn waved his hand towards him in a nonchalant way and turned his attention towards Elora. The girl had reached the centre of the wounded people. She took a deep breath once more, calming her racing heart. Then she closed her eyes and green light started to cover her entire being. Stars started to lit up under her feet. One. Two. Three… Eight. Nine.
When she activated nine stars, sweat covered her face, drenching her back, and a fatigued look appeared on her face, and her body started to tremble. Kadyn saw her clenching her teeth in pain. One could easily tell that she was having a hard time casting this spell. She could not control the tenth star efficiently yet.
Elora gritted her teeth and clenched the end of her dress with her right hand. Kadyn saw blood trickling from the corner of her lips. He took a step and just as he was about to stop her, the tenth star appeared under her foot. All the stars started to dance and formed a strange pattern.
Kadyn reckoned that this was the new star pattern that she learned. Anyways, no one could learn the pattern just by looking at it. There was a special method to form every pattern or anyone would be able to steal it. That would be nothing but a joke. Who would dare to use magic in that situation? Afraid that someone might steal their star pattern.
"Life Fairy: Rain of Healing!" suddenly she shouted a name and her body burst into a blinding radiance. The scene was obscured from Kadyn's eyes, but then he forcefully opened his eyes, looking at the scene. What he saw completely stunned him. A shadow of a beautiful woman stood behind Elora.
She had a crown made of flowers over her head. Beautiful green wings that looked as if they were made of leaves. The beautiful woman eyed Elora and waved her hand. The downpour started to fall from the sky. However, this rain was not any ordinary rain, the colour of the water was green, it looked as if it was filled with the vast energy of the world.
As the drops of green liquid fell over the wounded, their wounds started to heal. Even the guy whose face had caved in had become as good as new. The broken hands healed, twisted legs recovered and looked as if they had never gone through such terrible mutilation.
There was a guy who had lost his one eye. However, as the drop of rain fell on his blank eye that was filled by nothing but goo, started to regenerate. And in no time, a new eye appeared in the eye socket.
Kadyn, Barret, Khrom, Hot Rod or anyone else who was present on the spot, had been completely frozen on the spot in shock and amazement. No one ever thought that a healer could do such a thing.
Someone like Barret was extremely experienced and even he was completely dumbfounded at this moment. He had only heard such a thing possible in fairy tales. Regenerating lost arm, or leg, or eyes, or any part of the body.
No ordinary healer could do this, not ever. Barret looked at Elora—who was covered in a beautiful green light, as her hair swung in the wind—in awe and muttered. "She is a Goddess of Healing."
