Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 59 Leaving The Battle And Healing

Reign and the others quickly grouped together, there were still wood folk around them, even though their numbers were small and they were definitely not enough to harm them at their peak, they were now injured and their fighting capabilities were much lower.

"They're just staring at us, what the hell should we do?" Shadow breathes out heavily as he asks, looking around them the wood folk seemed to be shocked after witnessing the death of the treant, a couple of them were even slowly moving backward while trembling.

"I don't think they'll attack, but we must be ready for it anyway, letting our guard down would be a seriously dangerous thing now." Wolf examines the surrounding enemies, looking at their fear-stricken faces he knows they don't have any idea of continuing the fight, but that might change if they show weakness for even a moment.

"Awuuu!"

A loud wolf howl suddenly reverberated the forest, on top of the trees the wood folk could see a big black wolf and two smaller green wolves, the wolves looked coldly at them as Beast comes from behind them with an arrow notched on his bow.

Wolf uses the remaining mana to light his sword on fire while Reign follows his example, everyone gives their best to show that they were ready to attack and continue the battle.

Looking at them the wood folk panic, even more, some suddenly start fleeing which in turn makes more of them flee. After a couple of seconds, there were no wood folk looking their way, they were all too busy running away to even notice the weakening of Wolf's flames and the flicker on Reign's lightning.

After waiting for a couple of minutes everybody was certain that there were no more wood folk around them, Reign and Shadow collapse on the ground as their wounds were serious while Wolf gets down on his knees because of his almost empty mana level.

Beast comes down with his wolves and helps them get on top of them, as the area they were in now is too dangerous they needed to quickly leave and find a safe spot to rest.

Nobody was in the mood to even look at the notifications they got, the urgent thing to do now was to find any area they will be safe at and heal, the injures Shadow and Reign got were serious, if not treated properly and quickly they could lead to death.

Everyone was breathing heavily while riding the wolves, even without serious injuries Tank and Wolf were both exhausted, it took a lot of their willpower to stay awake right now, the physical exhaustion combined with the mana exhaustion was not to be taken lightly.

After a couple of minutes, they finally found a spot where they could rest, getting off the wolves Tank and Wolf grab Reign and Shadow and put them down near a tree, allowing them to lean on it and rest, right afterward all four of them lie down as they were spent.

Beast gets down from the wolf's back and takes out the Rank B Staff of healing, pointing his finger at Reign he pours mana as the ring starts shinning together with the staff. Reigns body gets covered with a green light as his wound slowly starts healing with the help of the magic.

Beast stops after a couple of seconds and pants heavily, the healing magic took a lot of mana to be used, right now he only used enough to make sure Reign's life won't be in danger, now he had to do the same for Shadow.

Finished with the healing process of both of them Beast plops down on the ground completely exhausted.

"Thanks, Beastie, I feel a lot better now." Shadow groans as he finished his sentence, even though his wound was almost fully closed now it still hurts like hell whenever he tried moving his arm. Reign's situation was still not good, the wound was too big and even the magic Beast used wasn't able to patch it up completely.

Everyone takes out some mana crystals and starts absorbing them, after finishing the hidden dungeon they had a lot of them in their inventory space, when they were finished they all took turns using the ring and staff to further heal Shadow and Reign. After a couple of minutes, both of their wounds were closed and their state was much better.

Reign looks over at the two wolves that managed to evolve near the end of the battle, they were both green and bigger compared to before, Beast looks at him and says.

"Neither one managed to get a special evolution as Greenie or Blackie did, they're wind wolves now, their speed has risen by quite a lot now."

"At least they leveled up, with both being at level 10 they will be more useful in fights." Reign smiles at one wolf that came close to him, the big wolf licks his face a bit and lies down next to him.

"We shouldn't spend much more time here, you never know what could show up while we're stationary like this." Wolf slowly gets up from the ground as he says, the fight they went through right now was much more difficult than any of them expected, it was important to go back to the castle to rest up.

Everyone nods and gets on top of the wolves to make their way back. While riding the wolves they finally have time to check the battle log and the equipment they received.
