Chapter 66: The Mercenary King's Favor (2)
Amid the dominant sense of doom, Ryu Min squeezed himself into the desolate atmosphere of Jo Yong-hos group.
Hey
?
Looks like you need help. Can I take a look?
Ryu Mins sudden appearance prompted question marks on the faces of Jo Yong-hos group.
He seemed like he was trying to offer assistance, but given the dire circumstances, negative thoughts were the only ones that came to mind.
Is there even a way to save him?
Yes.
Responding to Ryu Mins composed words, Jo Yong-ho stepped back with a straw-clutching resolve.
Ryu Min approached Choi Mangi closely and inspected his injuries.
The wounds are quite severe.
But theyre not beyond healing.
Mumbling incomprehensible words, Ryu Min placed his hand on the injured area.
Whats he up to?
At that moment, when the group was puzzled by Ryu Mins sudden actions, something unexpected occurred.
A green light emanated from Ryu Mins palm.
Its radiance exuded a comforting warmth.
Black Scythe, what are you
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Jo Yong-ho, who had been about to ask, began doubting his own eyes for a moment.
It wasnt that nothing was happening; rather, an unbelievable event was unfolding before them.
The blood that had been sluggishly flowing started to clot, and the wound began to close on its own.
Huh?!
T-The wound!
Everyone present stared in astonishment, their mouths agape.
Even Choi Mangi, the most concerned, couldnt utter a word as he looked at his own wound.
Or rather, he looked at the spot where the wound had been.
T-The wound its gone?
And it wasnt just the wound.
The pain had disappeared as well.
Black Scythe. How on earth
Yeah.
In response to Jo Yong-hos baffled question, Ryu Mins composed reply led Jo Yong-ho to step aside, clutching at any straw of hope.
The exceptional healing prowess left the party in awe, though the truth was, the skill wasnt quite as simple as it seemed.
It can stop bleeding and heal minor wounds, but it cant fix a shattered shoulder.
But heres the twist Ryu Min seemed to almost effortlessly heal the shoulder, pushing beyond the skills limits.
How was that even possible?
It all boiled down to the influence of intelligence on healing the intelligence stat being the driving force here.
With my current boosted intelligence of 123, combined with the Runes 32% skill boost, fixing a shoulder shouldnt be a tall order.
First aid was at its core a skill from the common category. However, with the Runes enhancement, its effects were magnified, leading to this impressive outcome.
Try moving your shoulder. Scars might linger on you, but your movements shouldnt be hindered.
Choi Mangi rotated his shoulder, almost like verifying Ryu Mins claim.
His expression shifted from disbelief to pure delight in the blink of an eye.
Iits moving normally!
But that doesnt mean its completely healed. Remember, this is an emergency treatment; if you push too hard, the wound could reopen. Still, it shouldnt hinder your hunting activities.
Ah Thank you so much. Black Scythe, youre my savior! Thank you, truly!
Choi Mangi, now on his feet, bowed deeply and repeatedly, his gratitude evident.
The rest of the group shared the sentiment, and Jo Yong-hos gaze was particularly striking.
The more I observe, the more amazed I am.
Their expressions mirrored both awe and deep respect, an acknowledgment of the magnitude of Ryu Mins help.
Black Scythe, thank you for healing Mangi.
Im grateful as well.
Thank you for saving our comrade.
As Jo Yong-ho bowed his head, the others followed suit, their foreheads lowered as a mark of gratitude towards Ryu Min.
While this might not have immense utility, please accept it. Its my way of saying thank you.
Jo Yong-ho was the first to retrieve an item from his inventory.
It was a low-grade red mana stone.
Other members also eagerly offered items some mana stones, while others proffered equipment, they were originally hoping to secure some gold by selling them.
No need to go to this extent.
No, its a symbol of gratitude. Please, accept it.
Despite any attempt to decline, the items were placed into his hands, though it was done with a polite refusal in mind.
Even if theyre just ordinary items, gathering them from five people adds up to quite a bounty.
Yet, beyond these items, there was an even greater gain to be had.
Thanks to Black Scythe, our friend now has hope for survival. Separate from the token weve just given you, I promise to repay this debt someday.
In an intriguing twist, he had not only accrued a debt from the Mercenary King but also gained his favor.
Considering I needed to learn a common skill anyway, this is quite a significant gain.
Looking forward, when the strength of the Mercenary King was inevitably needed, this episode would surely carry significant weight.
Well then, until we meet again.
Take care!
As Ryu Min turned, the Mercenary King and his group uniformly bowed their heads, a collective sign of respect.
