Chapter 162 - The Ark Of Not Down Yet (1/2)

”Of all the time we've been together, this is the first time I've seen you using your powers to heal others,” said Z, chuckling.

”You daft thing, I'm made out of the Light Element. My Elemental Core is Light, the Element of Healing. Of course, I will have healing powers,” said Mavislin, increasing her Light Element on Z.

”Yea, but your arsenal holds more offensive spells. Looking at you heal is like looking at a blue moon.”

”Tell that to Akhaten. They've got four blue moons.”

Z let out a laugh while Mavislin smiled.

”By the way, I don't recall Meena to have such powers,” murmured the Valkyrie, looking at the fallen Umbra.

”She was not a Water Mage. She was a Crafter. She can't conjure up spells without some ingredients,” explained Mavislin.

”Perhaps the Umbra that we faced took another set of powers from another Mage?”

”This seems odd though. I thought the only person here was Meena. And how could the Umbra come here without breaking any door or changing the place.”

”It is. Until you realized the Umbras are Shadows. They can sneak around without anyone noticing it.”

The Ice Mage winced slightly as the skin around the wounds began to close up. Both the human girls looked away in disgust.

”Can't blame me, Mages heal in other ways,” replied Mavislin.

”I thought you would at least do it more gracefully,” said Vernice, reloading her sniper rifle.

”At least it closes the wound within an hour. You humans waste years just stitching up one. We can stitch up multiple in a day. Hell, I can even grow back my arm if I've lost it.”

”And you had to ask Z for help in that past battle? I find that odd.”

”I ran out of Elemental Energy to heal my wounds. But I've regained my energy and can use it to heal others.”

Vernice glanced at the healing Mages.

”You use your Energy to help others... I was thinking that Mages only cared for themselves.”

”Yes, we only care for those who we think of as family.”

”But Minwoo or any of us are not your family members. So why help us?”

”The Kings of the underworld were made by Minwoo. But Baldwin was the one who instructed him to do so. In our eyes, the Five Kings are part of my family. So, I'll help in any way I can. To protect my family. Even if it goes against others, even if I have to use up my recovered Elemental Energy.”
