Chapter 536: Whats Going On Here? (1/2)

Leon shortly directed the Life Energy throughout Princess Thessalia's body with Divine Will. The Lift Energy quickly linked with the medicinal essence of the Bone Regrowth Pill and Nirvana Pill before their efficacy was boosted.

Missing parts between bones were gradually regrown and connected before they were reinforced while organs slowly reformed themselves under Leon's observant divine sense.

At the same time, Princess Thessalia gazed at him coldly.

As she felt her body's condition improving, the cold and piercing gaze that Princess Thessalia glared at Leon with gradually turned complicated.

Nevertheless, the healing process was slow and gradual.

Outside of the vine dome protected by Supreme Elder Haldir, the battle continued to rage on, and time quickly flew past.

The mutated rat tide quickly dwindled in numbers.

Eventually, the last mutated rat was slain by Aria's icicle attack from the sky as it was escaping from the region.

”It's finally over,” General Marquis Hendrick sighed on the field littered with mountains of mutated rat carcasses.

After the mutated rat tide was reduced to less than ten thousand in numbers, the General Marquis directly joined the battle and fought alongside the Supreme Elder.

”Yeah…” Supreme Elder Haldir spoke.

Nevertheless, the Supreme Elder paid little attention to the mutated rat carcasses on the battlefield. Instead, his gaze was fixed on his vine dome located at the airship's crash site.

Many hours had passed since he left, but the treatment process was still ongoing.

At the same time, the explosive cannonballs forged by Duke Ignis and his group of blacksmiths were depleted.

Many mutated rat carcasses had exploded into numerous pieces of flesh after the violent reaction effect of clashing lightning and fire. They laid scattered all over the battlefield with their lightning spikes fragmented into dull shards.

While many pieces like this could be found everywhere on the battlefield, many whole carcasses were also preserved with their lightning spikes intact.

These were the mutated rats killed by Aria, the Supreme Elder, and the General Marquis.

Shortly after, the General Marquis began issuing his orders for the soldiers on the Great Wall to descend to the foot of the wall where the General Marquis awaited them.

However, many rope lifts had been destroyed by the mutated rat's volleys of lightning spikes. As such, some time was taken for high-level elven warriors to construct new rope lifts for them.

”What are your orders, General Marquis?” A leading soldier inquired in salutation with a group of soldiers right behind him.

”Go clean up the battlefield. Also, collect the lightning spikes and send them to Duke Ignis to be studied. See if the Duke has a way to make use of these lightning spikes. It would be a waste to throw them away, otherwise.” General Marquis Hendrick ordered.

”Yes, General!”

”Also, give me a count on the casualties later.” General Marquis Hendrick added.

The soldier saluted, ”Yes, General!”

Meanwhile, Aria descended from the sky and landed near the airship crash site before she awaited Leon's emergence from the vine dome.

Shortly after, Faelyn also arrived and waited with a concerned look.

”Sorry. This would not have happened if I did use my lightning powers.” Aria apologized to Faelyn with guilt and self-blaming.

However, Faelyn shook her head and held Aria's hand before reassuring her, ”This was not your fault, Miss Aria. No one could have predicted the rat tide was capable of mutating like this. As such, I do not blame you, no matter what happens to my sister.”

”Thank you…” Aria said with difficulty.

Who knew how much harder it was for Princess Faelyn to try and console Aria when her heart was plagued with her own worries for her third eldest sister's safety.

Seeing Faelyn's tight wrinkle as they gazed at the vine dome, Aria knew it was her turn to console Faelyn.

”Don't worry too much. If it's Leon, your sister will definitely be healed. When it comes to medical skills, I believe he is the best in the world,” Aria spoke confidently.

Faelyn was not sure where Aria's confidence came from, but she nodded, having understood Aria's kind intention in trying to reassure her.

Sometime later, inside of the vine dome, Princess Thessalia was fully healed.

Once Leon was done with the treatment, he unsealed Princess Thessalia's acupoints before draping a piece of clothing from his Worldspace over her bare body.

Surprisingly, Princess Thessalia did not attack Leon after her mobility was recovered.

Instead, she wore the clothing Leon gave her before thanking him in a cold and emotionless tone, ”Thank you.”

Shortly after picking herself up, Princess Thessalia made her way over to her personal guards' corpses and gathered them in silence, intending to give them a proper burial elsewhere.

Seeing his business done here, Leon waved his hand at the vine dome and manipulated it to dismantle itself.

”Leon!”

”Sister!”

Two different voices were quickly heard.
