Chapter 621: Unexpected Rescue (2/2)

”I need to check something. We can leave after I am done. Or else, you can so leave first, and we will meet up later.”

”Hm, Nah. I think I will stick with you.” Duna suddenly latched onto Leon's back for a free ride without further extraneous effort on her end.

”The collapse of the dome might be dangerous for those weak Desolate Crow Clansmen, but it poses no danger to us.”

”That's true.” Leon nodded.

Shortly after, the two returned to the water fountain before Leon's gaze flickered while Duna's brows wrinkled.

”As I thought, there are still people here...” Leon muttered while gazing at the large group of clansmen gathered around the water fountain.

They were scooping out Holy Water into big jugs and emptying out the water fountain.

”What a bunch of idiots. What the hell are they still doing here when the whole place is collapsing?”

”They probably didn't want the remaining Holy Water to go to waste. For them, each scoop of Holy Water is equivalent to a life in this pandemic,” Leon casually said.

”This is why they are idiots for risking their lives,” Duna stated before saying, ”You can simply refine more Holy Water for them, or can you not?”

”I definitely can, but they do not know that. They believe the medicine is precious and thus, believe they are doing a heroic deed by saving the Holy Water,” Leon casually stated.

Of course, the sick clansmen could just be procuring the Holy Water for themselves. However, Leon did not think so.

He could overhear them talking.

”Hurry! We are running out of time! The whole place is about to go down! We need to leave now!”

”Just a bit longer! We almost have everything! Each extra drop is extremely precious! There are still many clansmen depending on this medicine to live!”

The clansmen babbled with nervous sweats from pressure and looming threat above them.

Thud! Thud!

Rat carcasses dropped through the dome cracks like rain before they were slapped and kicked away by nearby warriors as they protected the clansmen carrying out their mission.

Suddenly, Leon's ears twitched to a weak cry in the distance before his gaze shifted to an area of broken rumbles.

The spot was unassuming at a glance and appeared as one of many other buildings that had collapsed due to the previous battle.

However, this particular location especially grabbed Leon's attention.

”These rubbles are...” Leon's eyes suddenly flickered in realization before darting over to the rubbles in a quick flash.

Swoosh~!

Leon landed near the ruins of a familiar building before the weak cries became more distinct and clearer. They were the voices of the little boy, Abel, and his mother.

With a wave of his hand, the heavy rubbles of broken stones and hardwood were lifted and removed from the area with Divine Will.

”Are you two alright?” Leon inquired.

”Big brother, you're back! Please save my mother!” Abel strongly requested after his initial burst of excitement.

However, Leon already knew their conditions with divine sense.

Nevertheless, he did a double check on the leg wound of Abel's mother before he shook his head, ”It's just a flesh wound. Nothing serious.”

”Eh? Is that really true? But there's so much blood…!” Abel stated.

”Truly. But if you are not assured, then you can rub this stuff on your mother's wound. It will heal the wound quickly and stop the bleeding,” Leon passed a bottle of Tier-1 Golden Ointment to Abel before saying, ”The two of you were very lucky.”

”En. Thank you, doctor. You saved us again.” Abel's mother bowed her head slightly before urging her son, ”Hurry up and thank the doctor.”

”Ah! Yes, mother!” Abel exclaimed before bobbing his head cutely, ”Thank you, big brother!”

”Call him doctor!” Abel's mother tried to get her son to address their savior respectfully.

”Thank you, big brother doctor!”

”…”

Abel's mother did not know whether to laugh or cry before she ruffled his hair with a wry smile, ”You little rascal… What should I do with you?”

”It's fine. He can call me whatever he wants. More importantly, you two need to get out of here quickly. The dome is about to collapse,” Leon reminded.

”Right… We will leave as soon as possible.” Abel's mother nodded solemnly before adding, ”Once again, thank you, doctor!”

”Don't worry about it. Your situation was partially mine to blame.”

”I see… Even so, thank you!”

Shortly after Abel treated his mother with Leon's Tier-1 Golden Ointment and witnessed its effectiveness, the two quickly left.

At the water fountain's location, the clansmen were still present when Leon returned to the area with Duna.

”All of you should leave quickly as well if you don't want to die!” Leon hollered with a frown.
