Chapter 81 Fatal Attack

While Anna held the blue-haired witch back, Slime Slayer was finally able to escape the high-temperature lava, his legs now half-submerged.

boom!

With a loud bang, Slime Slayer leaped out of the lava and, this time without any obstacles, successfully reached his teammates.

However, their situation is not optimistic either.

"Ahem... Captain."

"Cassius! Don't speak!"

Spinka was keeping watch around, while Jokina was giving the critically injured and dying Cassius a green potion.

The giant eagle's talons pierced his chest, leaving a gaping hole through which his shattered organs were visible. Although he wasn't killed outright, he was on the verge of death.

"Damn it!"

Jokina looked pained and flustered, her hands trembling as she helped Cassius, who was feeling slightly better after drinking the medicine, to his feet.

She removed Cassius's shirt, first spraying expensive healing potion on his wounds, then extending her palm towards Cassius's chest.

"Flesh and blood migration!"

A crimson glow emerged from her palm, and Cassius's other flesh began to writhe, migrating from intact parts to his wide-open chest.

"Ugh!"

Cassius clenched his teeth in excruciating pain, large beads of sweat dripping down his face.

The spell "Georgina" is a healing spell that all team members know, used to prevent injuries to monks like today, so all team members have learned healing spells.

Flesh migration is a magic that quickly heals wounds. For large wounds like Cassius's, the bleeding must be stopped first to isolate the inside of the wound from the outside before treatment can begin.

While growing flesh directly is not ideal, using existing flesh is fine.

"Captain, is your foot alright?"

On the other side, Spinka arrived at the Slime Killer on the shore. His legs had just been soaked in lava, and his armor was glowing red, a sign of high temperature, with white smoke rising from the gaps.

Slime Slayer simply shook his head, as if the scorching heat was nothing to him. He just stared at Cassius, who was lying on the ground groaning in pain, lost in thought.

"Idiot! How could nothing happen to you!"

hula.

Georgina tossed him a bottle of medicine, which Spinka hurriedly caught.

"Help the captain heal his wounds!"

"I...I understand."

Faced with the furious Georgina, Spinka could not afford to be negligent and quickly approached his captain with the medicine.

"For Cassius."

"It's alright... Captain, I won't die... I have... amulet."

As Cassius spoke, he revealed the amulet that had been hanging around his neck, which featured a now dull and lifeless green gemstone.

Each team member had a similar amulet, the effect of which was to save one's life. If it weren't for this amulet, the wound that pierced through his chest would have killed Cassius long ago.

"All right."

Slime Slayer stopped making excuses, but instead of using the potion Spinka brought him immediately, he reached for his neck and pulled out a necklace from a gap in his armor.

It was a necklace similar to Cassius's necklace. The Slime Slayer silently broke the necklace and threw it to Cassius.

Georgina helped Cassius, who was unable to move due to excruciating pain, take the fall.

"Captain, how can you do this? You should keep the life-saving amulet for yourself!"

"It's because of me, Cassius, that I got hurt."

The Slime Slayer's hesitant voice came from beneath his armor, sounding more guilty than usual.

"but--"

"It's okay."

Crash!

He crushed the potion bottle in his hand, and the green potion spilled down, flowing through the gaps in his armor into his scalded legs. Slime Slayer felt the stinging pain as his skin healed, and looked up at the sky.

The blue-haired witch had cleared away all of Anna's fire arrows, but she didn't seem to be in a hurry to disappear again, instead remaining suspended in mid-air.

"Oh dear, are you alright? I was trying to grab a hostage, but I accidentally used too much force, haha."

The blue-haired witch covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her alluring blue hair dancing wildly in the wind.

"You, you bad, bad guy—!"

Anna's angry shout rang out from the side as she swung her wand forcefully, sending a huge fireball toward the blue-haired witch, which she easily dodged.

"Is that all?"

"you--!"

Just as she was about to wave her wand again, Jokina came to her side and gently patted her shoulder.

"Anna, conserve your magic."

"Hmm... okay, how's Cassius?"

Hearing what Jokina said, Anna nodded, but her eyes were filled with resentment and bitterness.

"I... I won't die, sorry."

Cassius had been bandaged and was lying on the ground, much better than before. The high-level healing potion was very effective and worked quickly, but it was still somewhat ineffective against such a fatal wound.

He gripped the amulet given to him by the Slime Slayer, propped himself up, and leaned against their luggage.

"Without Cassius, the battle ahead will be even more dangerous... You all need to be careful, and Captain, don't act impulsively, don't act on your own."

"Um."

Everyone gathered around Cassius, keeping a close watch on the blue-haired witch's next move, but she vanished into thin air once again.

"I can at least cast a barrier spell and a healing spell, but... it might be a bit slow, sorry."

Cassius picked up his scripture from the ground and turned a few pages.

"Don't apologize! This isn't Cassius's fault!"

"...Alright, but let me do something. I'm not a combatant, so I don't need to move around much..."

Then, he slowly began to chant softly, reaching out his hands to aim at Slime Killer's legs.

"Holy Light, please heal all wounds..."

Slime Slayer's legs were enveloped in golden light, and they slowly began to heal from their injuries.

"You were the one who was injured the most..."

"Cassius..."

The team members were filled with grief and anger.

"You guys are so cheesy, it's hilarious, hahaha."

The blue-haired witch's voice rang out from the air, but she could not be found.

"This ability is really too troublesome..."

All the team members huddled together, cautiously observing their surroundings to prevent a sudden attack from the blue-haired witch.

Crack, crack...

Just then, the sound of rocks scraping against each other came from the cave ceiling. The giant eagle, pinned to the ceiling by the Slime Slayer's greatsword, was now struggling to pull the greatsword out of the cave ceiling.

Even though it was pierced through the chest, it did not die, perhaps it was not simply a monster at all.

Whoosh...

Suddenly, the giant sword was pulled out of the dome, detached from the giant eagle, and fell to the ground.
