Chapter 962: Chapter 478: Treating Wounds and the Secret Realm Core (2)

In addition, the special battle technique that allowed her to compress the high-temperature domain to her body surface greatly overdrew her stamina, with very strong side effects.

Now, seeing the Shark Beast’s head lopped off by Xia Nan, the last breath of relief settled in her heart, and she collapsed softly to the ground, finding it difficult to even move a finger.

Although Hai Yin hadn’t come into close contact with the Shark Beast, she was hit directly by the water stream spewed from its mouth while in Albatross form. As the team’s remote spellcaster, her naturally fragile body was injured, and she fell from the sky, breaking her leg upon turning back into human form.

Half orc Alton’s condition was slightly better. Xia Nan had just seen him get blasted away by the aftershock from the Shark Beast’s attack, landing far off into the ruins of an Exotic Realm building, suffering only minor injuries.

Among the few left on the field now, the most seriously injured was Rein, who rushed over for temporary reinforcement in the end.

This typically silent and pragmatic human warrior, upon arrival, saw his comrades whom he had been with day and night trapped in such a dire situation. He tried with all his might to create a glimmer of hope for them.

Unfortunately, his Level 3 professional level was indeed limited, and following the blasts on Xia Nan and Lorin, the Shark Beast punched his chest directly.

Even though his Ironwood Shield provided some resistance, the colossal force from the demon’s body instantaneously twisted the arm holding the shield, breaking unknown amounts of ribs. Now, he lay far off on the ground, breathing weak shallow breaths.

The only thing to be thankful for is that, within the team of six, along with Rein behind, there were no real casualties.

No matter how serious the injuries, everyone survived.

It was not in vain that Xia Nan manipulated gravity and distracted the Shark Beast during the battle.

It’s strange, though his fighting style leans towards a Lone Wolf, he never drags the team down in cooperation and is willing to make reasonable sacrifices and concessions for his teammates under circumstances that don’t seriously endanger his own life.

In this world’s group of adventurers, he can be considered quite an excellent companion.

But, in the past, many adventurers who have cooperated with him ended up not very well.

Xia Nan doesn’t think it’s his fault, and the current state of the Vengeance Blade team proves as much.

Though tumultuous thoughts swirled in his mind, his actions did not cease.

Almost immediately after confirming the Shark Beast’s death, Xia Nan rushed to where the most seriously injured Rein lay.

They were fellow comrades who had shared hardships together.

While the members of the Vengeance Blade team recognized Xia Nan, he likewise regarded them as trustworthy allies.

There wasn’t much need to overthink at the moment.

With a stretch of his hands, a green light orb brimming with life aura condensed from his palms.

——"Secondary Healing Technique", a healing class magic accompanying the Tear of Spring Breath, usable three times a day.

Though merely a First Ring Spell, its healing effect is limited, not as strong as the "Spring Vein Purification".

However, the latter can only be used by the bearer on themselves, whereas the former can be used on others.

"Buzz..."

Xia Nan’s palm hovered above Rein’s wounded parts, and amid the buzzing of energy distortion, one could see the bleeding wounds on the surface of his skin quickly healing, and Rein’s weakening breaths became stronger again.

Even though the fractures showed no sign of recovery, it at least kept him breathing.

Seeing Rein’s stable breathing, Xia Nan dispersed the green light from his hands.

He took out a bottle of Healing Potion, something almost every adventurer carried, from the other’s waistband and helped pour it into Rein’s mouth.

Then he got up to check on the injuries of the others.

...

After the battle, only Xia Nan and Half orc Alton remained capable of moving.

The two cooperated, quickly getting the wounded teammates to gulp down the healing potions and moving them together for easy monitoring of their conditions.

Supporting Hai Yin, who had a broken leg, pale-faced and limping, Xia Nan brought her to the center of the field. He let her slowly sit down by raising her arm.

Xia Nan glanced to his side.

There, Alton was dragging back Barbarian Akken using a makeshift stretcher he crafted with nearby canyon trees and vines.

Though a bit short, as an adventurer possessing Professional Level, he certainly had a physicality stronger than ordinary people.

Even now, dragging such a massive man over two meters tall didn’t seem too strenuous.

After settling Akken beside Rein, Alton let out a slight sigh and then looked at Xia Nan, volunteering:

"I’ll go to the docks to find someone to help, you stay here and stand guard for a bit, hehe, don’t end up falling prey to some Fishmen drawn by the scent of blood after finally taking down the Shark Beast."

The half orc, though sometimes seemed a bit unreliable, was quite dependable in battle, a trustworthy companion.

Hearing this, Xia Nan nodded and replied:

"I’ll take care of things here, be cautious on your way."

There was no doubt, the ability to trigger Embers Resonance indicated that Xia Nan was also heavily injured during the fight.

However, in the subsequent confrontation with the also heavily injured Shark Beast, he didn’t incur any evident damages; his near-fatal health line saw a quick boost thanks to the rapid restoration from the residual fire state.

Presently, though not at peak condition, he could perform at around seventy to eighty percent of his combat capacity, easily handling a few Fishmen.

Thus, following the plan with Alton, he stayed back to guard the injured while Alton went to notify the dock’s crew.

On the field, Lorin had yet to regain her breath.

The side effects from the intense use of Scorching Temperature Domain left her exposed skin covered in scorch marks, eyes tightly shut, brows furrowed as if enduring great pain.

In comparison, though Hai Yin, with a broken calf, lacked facial color making her pale skin appear even more deathly, she was very clear-headed.

At that moment, she sat on a cushion Xia Nan had brought over from the ruins while moving everyone, her black-brown crystalline eyes gazing with a complex and subtle look at the black-haired young man ahead.

If you asked her days ago, she would never have imagined that a stranger met once due to an equipment transaction would become a key figure in saving her entire team.

Had Xia Nan not been present today, facing that formidable Shark Beast, her Vengeance Blade team had zero chance of survival, and having their name struck off the Association’s roster was just a matter of time.

But now, even the most gravely injured Rein was lying six meters away on the open ground, breathing steadily and alive.

And that Shark Beast...

Hai Yin’s gaze couldn’t help but shift to the nearby ground, where the enormous shark head stood like a decorative piece showcasing the origin of ingredients.

A memory flashed of the momentary molten flame and sorrowful crimson blaze, the unreal black wolf with flickering red sparks amidst its mane. fгeewebnovёl.com

Such a mysterious and powerful adventurer, coming to Suo Yu Bay and joining their team, could it purely be to partake in the "Moon Tide Banquet" two months later?

Hai Yin couldn’t ascertain, yet she opted against further pondering. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

If malicious intent existed towards them, now would be the most opportune time, yet he committed no excessive actions.

This black-haired young man had already showcased his trustworthiness through his actions on this mission.

Silently, Hai Yin stripped the "temporary" prefix from the "temporary member" status in her heart, acknowledging him as a reliable teammate worthy of entrusting her back to.

Meanwhile, Xia Nan naturally was unaware of what the young Druid behind him was thinking.

He was contemplating what lay ahead on the altar, the suitcase that served as the Secret Realm’s core, and the potential items contained within.
