Chapter 81: Healing and Olivia's Arrival
'His magic power is depleted, and he has a penetrating wound in his abdomen, with residual magic power eroding his body. With this human's physique, it will be very difficult for him to survive!'
In the small Elf village, the Elf physician carefully examined Kurtz's injuries and came to this conclusion.
The ancient healer's fingers trembled slightly as he withdrew his hands from the examination. In his thousands of years of healing experience, he had never seen such a strange injury.
The residual magic power in the wound was like a parasite stuck deep inside, constantly eroding his vitality bit by bit. Each pulse of foreign energy ate deeper into healthy tissue, leaving blackened veins that spread like poison through the child's pale skin.
If it weren't for these magic powers being filled with a vibrant sacred aura, he might have suspected that these people had encountered an attack from the Demon Clan.
But with such a strong divine power, were they fighting the warriors of the Skywing Clan?
Otherwise, it couldn't be explained.
Looking at this adventure team in front of him, one Elf, three humans, and one Dwarf who didn't look like a Dwarf, it was truly strange.
Not to mention, their races were all under an alliance now, so why would there still be conflict?
The Elf physician didn't dare to ask about this; after all, the Elf named Serie, who brought this severely injured human, had a truly intimidating aura.
It was as if he couldn't cure this human; he would have to be buried with him. Her violet eyes held a cold fury that made his centuries of experience feel insignificant.
"Is there no other way?" Serie asked, clenching her hands.
"No, unless a Holy Order can be found to cast healing magic to treat this human's injuries."
Hearing the Elf physician say this, everyone exchanged glances. His words settled heavily over them.
Holy Orders are a profession exclusive to the Skywing Clan, and only they can interpret the holy scripture.
However, they had just fought with them, and Kurtz even caused heavy casualties with a single sword strike, so the Elf physician's proposal was simply impossible.
"I'm going to the Skywing Clan's Divine Kingdom right now!" Serie seemed to have made up her mind, her voice cutting through the silence.
"Miss Serie... you..." Norn hesitated, reaching out as if to stop her.
He could naturally see that she intended to forcefully attack the Divine Kingdom and seize the holy scripture from the Skywing Clan. As long as they had the holy scripture, with Serie's magical talent, she could surely replicate it.
Then, she could naturally use healing magic to save Kurtz.
But this plan was truly too dangerous, causing him to immediately speak up and try to stop her.
"This is the only way!" Serie shook her head, and after the Elf physician left, she spoke again: "Kurtz has residual magic power from that false god in his body. Only by using the healing magic recorded in the holy scripture can these magic powers be removed."
"Is there enough time? I remember the Skywing Clan's Divine Kingdom is on the easternmost side of the map, right?" Dwarf Somo asked worriedly, his weathered face creased with concern.
It would take at least several years to reach the Divine Kingdom, and Brother Kurtz simply couldn't last that long.
In fact, for Brother Kurtz to last until everyone brought him to this Elf village already showed his incredible strength.
"It's fine!" Serie took out the stone tablet, its surface still warm with residual magic. "There's a residual magic circle in the stone tablet; we can teleport back in reverse."
Whether it was the Demon Clan or the Skywing Clan, they essentially used the vast magic power in the stone tablets to activate super-large teleportation arrays.
Therefore, there were naturally residual magic circles within the stone tablets.
However, the Demon Clan's remnants had completely disappeared due to hundreds of years of time, but the Skywing Clan's teleportation array was still there.
Although very faint, it was already enough for a few of them to teleport.
"Moreover, the remaining Skywing Clan army cannot return to the Divine Kingdom so quickly. This is our only chance."
The Skywing Clan's army had basically come out in full force, even the most powerful Thirteen Council members were like this. It could be imagined that at this moment, their main base only had a bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled.
"Is there no other way?"
Norn was not unwilling to save Kurtz, but he was cautious, and it was difficult for him to immediately agree to Serie's reckless plan. His protective instincts fought with his common sense.
"This is our only way!"
Just as everyone was in a stalemate, a commotion suddenly came from outside the door. Voices carried through the thin walls, urgent, but not hostile.
Eric vigilantly drew his long sword, only to see the Elf physician who had left earlier reappear: "Everyone, there's a Skywing Clan warrior looking for you outside."
The physician's expression was unreadable as he explained that the other party immediately claimed to be looking for a strange team consisting of three humans, one Elf, and one Dwarf, which could be said to be directly naming Serie and them.
"Damn it! They actually caught up?!" Eric cursed under his breath, his knuckles white around his sword hilt.
He originally thought that these bird people, after suffering heavy losses from Kurtz's sword strike, would never dare to come again. He didn't expect that it wouldn't be long before they were found.
"Something's not right." Serie noticed something amiss, her mind working through the initial alarm. "If the other party is really coming for us, why would they specifically send someone to inform us?"
"Indeed, something's not right." Norn nodded, clearly also noticing the strangeness. His hunter's instincts stayed alert.
It had been a week since their group left the Dwarf Ruins, and during this time, Kurtz had been in a coma.
If it weren't for Kurtz having the power blessing of the Holy Sword and his own incredible strength, he probably wouldn't have been able to last this long, but now he was still in a state where he couldn't wake up at all.
"Let her in! If anything seems off, act immediately!"
Ultimately, Serie made the decision, her voice firm.
Everyone prepared for battle, hands moving to weapons naturally.
Before long, a Skywing Clan female who looked incredibly miserable walked in.
Her white wings were stained with dried blood, and her left wing had even completely disappeared. What remained was a torn stump that showed violent damage rather than clean amputation.
"It's you?!"
Serie recognized the other party; it was Olivia, the youngest member of the Skywing Clan's Thirteen Council.
Serie and the other party had met by chance once, from a distance, but she had remembered the other party.
Moreover, Serie had also seen the other party in the previous battle, but the situation was urgent at the time, so she ignored it.
Now, seeing the other party appear before her again, she was inevitably a little surprised.
"Serie? No wonder..." Olivia also recognised Serie in front of her, exhaustion making her voice barely above a whisper. "You're still alive!"
At that time, in the formation, she had seen Serie's figure, but even if she recognised her, it was useless. The Skywing Clan would not resist the goddess's command.
Even if she felt it was inappropriate to attack an ally at the time, it couldn't change the minds of the other Council members.
And now, having received the divine oracle from the true goddess, she only wanted to fulfill her mission.
"Where is the human who was recognized by the Holy Sword?" Olivia leaned against the doorframe, her voice incredibly weak.
Eric immediately stood in front of the unconscious Kurtz: "What do you want to do?! Do you want revenge for what happened before?"
Olivia shook her head painfully: "No, it's not!" She took a difficult step forward, immediately raising everyone's guard. "It's the true goddess... I received a divine oracle from the true goddess!"
What a ridiculous thing!
The Skywing Clan, who prided themselves on being the most loyal to the gods, were actually deceived by a false god, and thus suffered defeat and heavy losses in battles with others.
But now, she didn't even have a single fellow clan member to tell! She was maybe the sole survivor bearing the truth that her people had died refusing to believe.
'Ridiculous and pathetic!'
