It’s easy to say, because Andrew really has that confidence.
What’s the deal with the Eight Strange Fires? Didn’t Pete also get taken down by me?
Shadow Erosion Fire does indeed have troublesome properties, but I’m not the Warm Fire Mage you think I am; I’m a Water Mage.
One of the many characteristics of being a Water Mage is: healing ability, incredibly strong!
Even a non-official healing magic like "Water Spirit Technique" was enough to heal so many people before.
Next, as long as I unlock the relevant magic in the "Water Priestess Series," not to mention Aunt Zi’s injuries, even if they were twice as serious, Andrew is quite confident he can restore her to life!
"In simple terms, it’s about confirming my healing ability, and then bringing the patients from Baal Town, and even those from the many Living People Cemeteries of the Inner Sea Desert, for me to treat. That’s basically the idea, right?"
Andrew thought, alright then, let’s do it.
He stood up and straightforwardly said, "Sister An Ya, could you step aside? I want to treat Aunt Zi alone. It shouldn’t take too long, it’ll be quick." He glanced at An Ya’s weary face, "Perhaps, Sister An Ya, you could go back to the Living People Cemetery for a nap? You really look tired."
An Ya shook her head, "I’ll wait outside the tent."
Aunt Zi slightly frowned, "Now... now we’re doing the treatment?"
She’s someone who tends to value a sense of ritual in everything; otherwise, she wouldn’t say things like "I’ll commit suicide to apologize once confirmed."
But a lung injury is, after all, a very serious condition, right? Even if it can be treated, it should take a lot of time and effort, right?
Confirming to treat right now?
And it "won’t take too long"?
Aunt Zi felt that her long-held sense of ritual, which was almost habitual, seemed to falter.
Andrew, however, didn’t care about all that and temporarily sent An Ya out of the tent.
From the immense fire extinguishing value brought by last night’s "Rain of Enlightenment," he consumed a portion:
"Unlocking the ’Water Sacrificial Series Magic’: Deep Blue Starlight."
"Unlocking the ’Fingertip Series Magic’: Water-Cutting Blade."
Andrew took a deep breath, flicked his hand with the "Water Ball Technique," creating a large yet invisible water ball, enveloping the entire tent and temporarily isolating it from outside interference.
At the same time, a "Water Spirit Technique" was sent into Aunt Zi’s body.
Aunt Zi’s body shook, feeling a cool sensation swept from her head to her entire body.
Finally, she confirmed: this is indeed the start of the treatment! Right now, immediately!
Andrew said, "Don’t be nervous, just relax, don’t think about anything."
Aunt Zi nodded, but in such a situation, even the most normally composed person would be inevitably nervous, right? It’s impossible not to be nervous—
Swish!
Andrew made his move.
On his slender fingers, the invisible "Water-Cutting Blade" quietly emerged, like an exquisite scalpel.
In the "Fingertip Series," this water magic’s defense-piercing capability rivals the "Water Needle."
The current use, is to cleanly and decisively cut out the "fire poison" from the center of Aunt Zi’s collarbone.
Giving no chance for the fire poison to penetrate surrounding body tissues!
The "Water Soul Constitution" ensures precision and stability of action.
"Water Spirit Sensing" permeates deeply into Aunt Zi’s body tissues, effectively glimpsing the specific size and range of the fire poison.
Hiss hiss hiss!
Once the fire poison was cut out, it immediately showed a tendency to erupt violently, as if the suppressed flames couldn’t contain themselves any longer.
Andrew, however, turned his fingers into palm, grabbing the bursting fire poison with his bare hand.
Relying on "Flame Immunity," a slight exertion of force completely crushed the fire poison!
Simultaneously, Andrew’s other hand was hovering over the front of Aunt Zi’s collarbone, which now had a somewhat frightful cavity, left by removing the fire poison.
"The ’Deep Sea Starlight’ from the Water Priestess Series, activate!"
At this moment, without "Invisible Enchantment," one would see deep blue starlight-like glimmers sprouting from Andrew’s fingertips, slowly merging into the wound. Unspeakably dreamlike and breathtakingly beautiful. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
But due to the invisible enchantment, Aunt Zi only felt, after a sharp chest pain, a gentle power beginning to flow into the wound. Visibly, however, nothing seemed particularly unusual.
The time quietly flowed by.
About fifteen minutes later, Andrew exhaled and said, "It’s done."
Aunt Zi was stunned, looking down at the already half-healed wound, even beginning to grow new flesh.
She closed her eyes, carefully sensing the condition inside her body.
Truly... there’s no longer any sign of burning from fire magic.
So she opened her eyes again, looking at Andrew, slightly fatigued, wiping sweat off his forehead.
Aunt Zi moved her lips, seeming like she wanted to say something, but in the end, didn’t say a word.
At that moment, she suddenly felt she wasn’t viewing a young mage; instead, she was looking at the savior of countless Living People Cemeteries scattered across the towns in the Inner Sea Desert, burdened by its immense responsibilities.
"So what exactly was I questioning earlier?"
Aunt Zi suddenly found her previous doubts about Andrew utterly ridiculous.
Never mind that Andrew actually healed her completely; even if he couldn’t, he could surely cure patients with much lighter symptoms!
"Luckily, this Master Andrew has a really good temperament. With the wrong person, things could have ended unpleasantly with just a sulking refusal to treat..."
Thinking this, Aunt Zi broke out in cold sweat.
"Mage Andrew, I... I wish to apologize for my earlier doubts..." Aunt Zi adjusted her clothing and spoke upon standing. She truly felt deeply sorry now. In fact, she initially had little hope, thinking Andrew might treat some mild cases, but not cure her own. As long as he could relieve her condition, she would acknowledge his healing ability. That’s what Aunt Zi originally thought!
Yet Andrew directly healed her completely.
As simple as eating and drinking.
It took less than fifteen minutes.
"Please wait a moment."
Andrew motioned for Aunt Zi to wait a bit.
Aunt Zi hurriedly nodded, thinking Andrew used up a lot of magic power and energy for her treatment and needed time to recover.
Little did she know that Andrew was indeed slightly tired, but just a bit weary.
He was only asking Aunt Zi to wait because he needed to collect the fire extinguishing value gained from removing the fire poison!
"Since becoming an official Water Mage, the fire extinguishing value has finally become quantified."
Andrew could feel that previously, he spent 250 points in fire extinguishing value to unlock two new Water Magics.
Treating Aunt Zi earned him 520 points of fire extinguishing value!
"So the remaining available fire extinguishing value I have now is—"
Andrew glanced at the water spirit sensing’s viewpoint, observing the sky-blue numbers jump swiftly and stabilize: "9960 points."
