Chapter 23 - Chapter 3: Rescue #6

The fire arrow broke through the darkness. Of course, everything in its path didn’t turn into ashes. He had just learnt Fire Arrow, so it was only Lv1.

However, this was the first time In-gong was using magic. He felt bliss despite the pain.

‘Ohh, it is real! Real magic!’

”Prince! Are you okay?”

Carack shouted without looking his way. In-gong opened his mouth to answer but only a strange sound emerged from his mouth.

”Hoatcha!”

In-gong moved his body reflexively. This time it was toward Felicia and the reason was simple.

'I-I have to do this!’

Magic was heading towards them again. It wasn’t a fire arrow like earlier but an ice arrow.

“Kuheok!”

Unlike the fire arrow that exploded against In-gong’s back, the ice arrow pierced through him. The clear voice rang in his head, but this time the pain was so greathe couldn’t feel any joy.

[Ice Arrow Lv1 has been learnt.]

[Stamina has decreased. You are in a very dangerous state.]

He couldn’t see the stamina gauge but there would be a red light coming from it if he could.

”Ugh...”

As In-gong groaned and collapsed, Felicia quickly reached out and grabbed him.

“Shutra!”

”Prince! Are you okay?”

He couldn’t respond to the two people. He had been too irrational when it came to magic.

He was too greedy. It was crazy to learn magic in this situation. It would be no use learning magic if he died.

In-gong had various regrets but he couldn’t think due to the pain.

Felicia rolled In-gong over and pulled out the ice arrow.

“Keok!”

“Stay still!”

Felicia half-screamed as she touched In-gong’s wound with trembling hands. No further attacks reached In-gong due to the fierce defense of his orcs.

”Crazy, crazy! Why did someone so weak do something like this? And when did you learn magic?”

In-gong was suffering but Felicia was very surprised. Felicia’s eyes darted over In-gong’s body with an incredulous expression.

‘Shutra protected me?’

He took the blow with his body?

Felicia was forced to concentrate in order to cast magic. It was recovery magic for In-gong.

‘Ah?’

A warm light emerged from Felicia’s hands and In-gong’s wounds healed quickly. It didn’t stop until his stamina recovered to a certain degree.

[Heal Lv1 has been learnt.]

‘Ohh!’

He had been about to die, so now he was just happy to be alive. Felicia didn’t realize In-gong’s joy and laid her hands on him again.

“Hey! Shutra! Steady yourself! Don’t die!”

She sounded angry but he was surprised to see tears in the corner of her eyes. In-gong, who was lying down, stared at her face with shock.

‘F-Felicia?’

She could act like this? Wasn’t she indifferent to Shutra?

“Hey, are you okay? Huh? Answer me!”

“I’m fine.”

In-gong tried to answer as energetically as possible but only a small voice emerged. Felicia started pouring out abusive language.

”This bastard! Why did you bother? Do you think that I can’t stop magic of that degree? Now, I have to protect you!”

“No, I didn’t intend to protect you.”

Of course, that was his intention with the first attack. However, he wanted to be hit the second time.

”Anyway, can you stand up? Should I use another recovery spell?”

In-gong nodded at Felicia’s question and used his strength to get up. Although In-gong was confused by her overly friendly attitude, it seemed to be quite favourable to him.

”Prince! Are you okay?”

He heard Carack’s voice from nearby. Instead of answering, In-gong leaned against Felicia and said,

”Noona, we need to move quickly.

Thanks to the recovery magic, his voice was better than before. Felicia nodded with relief and replied,

”Hmm, yes! Hurry!”
