Chapter 30 - The End Of The First Battle (2/2)

Two creatures slowly emerged from the magical circles, namely lettuce-colored slimes. They looked very cute and even a little clumsy.

The two slimes slowly crawled towards Evan and Fien. After that, they began to increase dramatically in size until they were large enough to completely engulf the young people.

These slimes were not combatants, they could do nothing but heal, and they were excellent at that task. Their slime had excellent healing properties, and Evan and Fien's wounds healed right before their eyes.

It was no problem for Marcel to cast such a spell. And given Evan and Fien`s level with, he could even sew them together piece by piece if he wanted to.

”I`m looking at these cuties and it makes me want to be a ”Summoner” myself.” Zak said slowly, looking at the wonderful work of the slimes.

”AHAHAHAHA, I could say the same about you.” Marcel finished his spell and left the slimes to mend Evan and Fien`s wounds.

...

Ten minutes later, not a single wound, scratch, or bruise remained on Evan and Fien's bodies. It was as if the terrible duel had never happened.

<Has Marcel done this?> Thought Evan. His wide chest wound was gone without a trace, and he felt just fine.

<So simple and easy to heal our wounds... Doesn't that mean he can heal us indefinitely if he wants to?>

Evan was both right and wrong. Marcel could, indeed, practically resurrect Evan and Fien, if he wanted to. But, if a wound like Evan's had been inflicted on Zak, Marcel would have had to use a much more powerful spell to heal him.

Zak was stronger than Evan, which meant it would have taken more effort to heal him.

”I`ve lost, I admit you were stronger than me.” Fien walked over to Evan and held out her hand for a handshake.

Evan smiled and was about to shake her hand. But suddenly he saw that his entire palm was covered in blood.

Cough. Cough. Cough.

Suddenly Fien began to cough up a lot of blood. Her condition was clearly not a good one.

”А? Has she any wounds left? Haven't the slimes been enough?”

Marcel didn't understand why Fien suddenly got worse, but then he remembered something.

”AHAHAHA, Zak, your boy has rightfully won. I hadn't even noticed that his awareness of ”Ice Veil” is at the first stage.”

When a magician's awareness of the spell increases, it becomes stronger. Damage, area, duration, and other increase. Some spells change all at once, while others may only increase one parameter.

In this case, the freezing effect of ”Ice Veil” went to a new level.

Whoosh.

Marcel appeared next to Fien and calmly said: ”Calm down, and open your mouth wide, honey. This is going to get nasty, but there's no other choice, I'm sorry.”

Fien did as Marcel said and one of the slimes instantly flew into her mouth.

Because of Evan's blow, a small part of her organs was frozen, so the external effects of the slimes were not enough to heal such a wound.

Feeling a slime inside her wasn`t the best feeling, of course. After a minute, the slime came back out, and Fien sighed in relief.

Looking at Evan and at his daughter, Marcel involuntarily thought: <Hmm, if she wants to outdo this guy, she'll have to try very hard. His skills are very good, and his unwavering spirit inspires respect>.

During the sparring, both Evan and Fien had been injured. Moreover, the girl even had a slight advantage because of the Catalyst. Her attack with the root caused Evan a truly frightening wound. Still, that didn't stop the young man, nor did it cause him to give up.

<If Zak hadn't interrupted his attack, it would have been very difficult for me to heal Fien and she would have been at death's door”.

While Marcel was pondering his thoughts, Zak came up to him and said loudly: ”Marcel, stop hovering in the clouds. It's time to give out the winner's reward, don't you think?”

Hearing his friend's words, Marcel came out of his musings.

”The reward, of course, of course, I have it with me.”

Marcel pulled out of his pocket a square carved, wooden case that looked very exquisite. With a slight smile on his face, he handed it to Evan.

...

And while Evan was receiving his prize, many people in black robes appeared around Zak's estate.
