Chapter 534: Healing (1/2)

”O-oh! Is that so…”

That's all that Julius could say as he felt his body being lifted by a mysterious force.

Still, they couldn't believe what was happening right now. This person showed up all of a sudden, forced back an enemy that the three of them can't even face together with relative ease. Not only that, what shocked them the most is this formation.

This formation was incredible. They could feel that the chilled winds were real. In a place where they are surrounded with irritating heat, this coldness was incredibly welcomed, in fact it even brings them comfort.

It's unknown when but they just found out that they were lying on top of a wide table which covered with a soft mattress. The masked man was tending to their wounds with incredibly ease.

”You need to take it easy for at least a month.” The masked man told Derek. ”You have four broken ribs, your leg muscles were mostly mangled and your meridians are bloated. You probably consumed a potent medicine earlier and you still haven digested it. I can feel the healing properties on the medicine so I won't one. Take advantage of this time to digest them properly.”

”A-Ah! Yes. Thanks, Senior.” The man named Derek said, gratified by the treatment.

”Like I said, I'm no Senior. I'm more of a Junior Brother in a sense.” The masked man replied casually, causing the three to be speechless.

He then turned towards Julius and inspected his body for a bit. After a brief scan of his body, he said: ”You were reckless.”

Those words caused Julius to flinch, but the masked man still wasn't done.

”Had I not arrive in time, it's either the Chimera or you yourself will be the cause of your death.” The masked man reprimanded. ”You're barely hanging on by a thread, standing only through sheer will alone. While it's nice to have a firm will against these abominations, what you showed isn't tough will but stubbornness. You placed not only yourself but also your teammates in danger by biting more than you can chew.”

Each words that the masked man uttered were like needles piercing through his skin, causing him to flinch multiple times. However, he had to admit that what he said was true. He truly were reckless this time around and nearly caused everyone to die, for that he felt remorseful.

The masked man took out a pill from his spatial ring, he shaved some of it's essence and sprinkled it onto Julius' injuries.

Julius could feel that, under the influence of this medicine, his wounds were healing fast. It was then that the masked man spoke once more.

”This is just a temporary aid. This medicine might heal your external injuries but the internal ones are something that you should deal with yourself. You can do that by either purchasing some expensive medicines or taking time to heal them yourself. I marked them when I scanned you earlier, you'll see them once you activate your inner vision.”

”As for how much time you'll need to cure yourself completely, that'll depend on you. Rest for now.” The masked man said while patting his shoulders.

Hearing his remarks caused Julius to bite his lips and feel ashamed. However, he didn't dare to say anything right now.

”Excuse me, Miss. I'll just do a quick scan on your body.” The masked man said to the girl named Janine. She simply nodded and allowed him to do his work.

The masked man then did a quick scan of her body and told her about her condition: ”Aside from fatigue, external injuries and minor organ damage, you're mostly fine. I can cure you completely but you will still need a long rest. A minimum of one month without any extensive activities. If you can do that, then you'll be good.”

Just like what he did to Julius, he did the same to girl. He sprinkled some medicine shavings on her wounds. She could feel these wounds closing up, causing her to feel somewhat itchy. However this was a good sign overall. As for her minor organ injuries, those were marked and she could cure it herself when she has time.

”Alright, I've prepared some tents for you. I can't have you returning to Greece just yet. Rest for now, I'll naturally tell you when you can go back.”

After saying that, he lifted the three of them at the same time and placed them inside their respective tents. He then looked back and asked:

”Kyrie, can you please help her dress her wounds?”

The three were puzzled when he suddenly talked to someone, however to their shock, a woman appeared before their very eyes and they can't even feel anything. If this masked man was already considered as an expert on their eyes, then this woman was on another level.

”Leave it to me, Young Lord.” Kyrie respectfully replied.
