Chapter 81 (2/2)

She undressed Link without hesitation to reveal the injury underneath. “My lord, how can it be!” Lucy covered her mouth with her hands, tears flowing out of her eyes.

It was a three-inch-long injury across Link’s abdomen. Under the effect of the Battle Aura, the surrounding flesh was also thoroughly destroyed and blood was gushing out of the wound. To a common soldier, this was definitely a lethal wound.

This was also an internal injury and there was no way to stop the bleeding. They could only watch as Link’s life slowly slipped away.

“But my lord is only 17 this year!” Lucy sobbed uncontrollably.

Jacker, Anderson and Gildern also fell silent at the sight of the wound.

Their experience was telling them that Link could not be saved.

On the other hand, Link was amused by their reactions, “What’s up with all of you? I’m not dead yet. Lucy, this is merely a small wound, stop crying!”

“What?” Lucy looked at Link with puffy eyes. This was merely a small wound? She could not understand.

Link placed his hand gently on his wound and started concentrating Mana. A white light enveloped his hand—this was the precursor to the Level-2 Blizzard spell.

Of course, Link was not planning on using Blizzard on himself, he was simply using this spell to accumulate water element particles.

By maintaining the spell at this precursor state, water elements surged continuously to the wound and turned into ice. After around 30 seconds, Link removed his hand.

He had frozen the entire wound and even the area surrounding it, effectively stopping the bleeding process. As the tissues and nerves were also frozen, he could barely feel any pain.

Naturally, this was only a temporary measure, with serious side effects on the body. But that would not be a problem. As soon as he returned to River Cove Town, he could be treated with Divine Healing spells. Such wounds were nothing compared to the healing prowess of a priest.

Link stood up and tried walking for a few steps. His abdomen area still felt slightly uncomfortable, but the feeling of his energy constantly being drained due to heavy bleeding was gone.

“Feels good,” He smiled at the rest of his squad, “Look, merely a small wound.”

He also cast an Elemental Healing spell on himself which would rapidly replenish the blood he had lost. Apart from looking slightly pale, one could tell that Link was fine.

“I could probably last three days in this state,” Link said as he smiled. Although he was out of danger, his abdomen area and the organs around it had completely lost its function. He would not be able to ingest any food, though he could replenish his energy simply by casting Elemental Healing on himself again and again.

This was unimaginable on Earth, but in the World of Firuman, anything was possible.

The squad was at a loss for words. Have you ever seen someone who could still joke and move around after being stabbed in the abdomen? Even though they were already used to Link’s strange tactics, this was way too amusing.

But they were extremely relieved. Lucy wiped her tears and blushed. She did not expect herself to lose her usual calm demeanor.

“Alright. Let us check if the path is unsealed now that the puppet is defeated,” Link laughed.

Almost immediately, Link saw a message from the game system.

Mission: First step Escape.

Player rewarded with 30 Omni Points.

Next Mission: Search for the Cliff of Howling Winds (Uncompleted)

That’s 30 more Omni Points in the bag. Link was satisfied.
