Viska's face had been burned and crushed to pulp, his throat let out a weird steam puffing-like sound, yet he couldn't even scream. His right hand, still gripping the curved sword, had been cut off, blood kept gushing out of the stump.

Not even Eda's

could reconnect cut limbs.

Lecan put away <Comet Cutter> and took <God Cure>. Then he crushed it above Viska's face. The white shining liquid fell down on Viska's burned face, bringing about a miracle. His face regained its normalcy back.

Lecan sprinkled the remaining 2/3 <God Cure> on Viska's right arm. Then the stump made a wriggling movement before a new right arm reformed from it.

(So this is how <God Cure> works.)

(Impressive stuff.)

Lecan stared at the remains of <God Cure> in his right hand. There's a little bit of liquid still. He hesitated for a moment before throwing it on Viska's stomach.

One thing is clear now.

The ability he got from the Golden Potion Dungeon Tsubolt's boss dropped was <Self Regeneration>. Not sure how many times it can be used, but this ability lets him heal wounds on specific spots simply by willing for it without consuming mana nor any need for casting. It probably will never see that many uses, but it's an ability that will shine most when he's in a really tight spot.

(Hm?)

(The wound on my neck hasn't completely healed.)

Far from that even, it remains quite a ghastly wound.

Lecan focused on the wound and willed it be healed.

Something seems like it's going into gear, but then it vanished before it could kick in.

(This ability does not completely heal you.)

(It only heals up to the bare minimum amount of survival.)

(And it's most likely unusable for a period of time after usage.)

Lecan took a Medium Red Potion and gulped it down, then his neck wound disappeared.

His cheekbone wound from the short spear also disappeared.

His left eye is still blind however.

A woman's voice could be heard from the audience that had fallen silent.

”Lecan-dono. Oh thank goodness. Thank goodness.”

Heles is crying. And there's a man watching that crying Heles with an indignant expression, Solusgia Indole of Gido Marquisate.

Right, the one who screamed Lecan's name earlier was none other than Heles. She might have got the impression that Lecan died then since he did get his throat sliced. That shock prompted Heles to call out Lecan's name.

Solusgia stood up.

”Adventurer Lecan. I challenge you to a duel!”

The audience rustled. The umpire, Haydent spoke to Solusgia.

”Solusgia-dono. Were you not going to hold a courtship duel with lady Heles after this?”

Solusgia replied to Haydent in a low voice, all while still glaring at Lecan.

”It appears my dear princess's heart has been stolen by that loathsome adventurer. I must kill that man and prove to her that I'm better than him, lest there be no first step.”

”That duel is not in the schedule.”

”We stand at an impressive arena, with an umpire as well as overseers. No more fitting situation for a marquis duel. Lord Giluent Notz.”

Solusgia turned toward Giluent and bowed.

”Please allow me this duel.”

Giluent asked Lecan with a composed voice.

”Lecan. What say you?”

”Right. Hold on a bit.”

Lecan walked to Norma's seat and asked her.

”You heard them, what to do?”
