Iri's next action was beyond the expectations of almost everyone, including You Li.
Iri, who had been wearing an incredibly sunny smile since the beginning, put it away and returned to the Adventurer's Guild hall with a serious expression, walking straight to the corner.
Because everyone was still affected by Iri's Ruling Spell, they couldn't move at all, and thus couldn't see what was happening in the furthest corner.
"Ah, Xiumu! Xiumu!! Are you alright?! Hey!! Answer me! Damn it!" Lying beside the injured Adventurer, his companion finally noticed the injuries on his friend's body.
After calling out a few times without getting a response from his companion, the Adventurer looked anxious. Because he was forcefully pressed to the floor by the little girl's inexplicable power, he couldn't confirm his companion's condition. Now, besides being able to move his eyeballs, no other part of his body could move. However, being face down on the floor, his visible range was very limited, and he couldn't see his companion's state at all.
At this moment, the Adventurer heard rhythmic footsteps, and then a white skirt appeared before his eyes, stopping right in front of him.
"Is he your companion?" He heard the tender and gentle voice of the little girl with the inexplicable power.
"Yes! Yes, he is!! He was severely injured before! His hands and feet were broken! They had just been reattached, and he hadn't had time to find a better priest for treatment! Now! Now! Please! Please release it!!" The Adventurer quickly said, because this was a very important companion to him. The reason he suffered such severe injuries was because he blocked an Ogre's attack for him. After they barely escaped back, he spent almost all his money trying to save him. His life was saved, but his injuries were...
"Oh, I see. I'm truly sorry. It's my fault for not noticing and doing such an excessive thing to your companion."
He heard the little girl's apologetic words coming from above him. Forget all this irrelevant stuff! Quickly remove this inexplicable thing! This Adventurer had only this thought in his mind.
"So, as an apology..."
Hearing the little girl say this, and within his limited vision, the Adventurer could only see that the strange little girl's white skirt seemed to be enveloped in a golden light, and many feather-like illusions were falling.
"This is all I can do. So... once again, my apologies to you, Big Brother, and your companion. Take care."
He watched the white skirt turn and leave.
Just as the strange little girl walked out of the Adventurer's Guild's door, everyone heard a "Be free!" and then regained their ability to move.
However, compared to the powerful "All of you, kneel!" from before, this "Be free!" felt somehow weak and listless.
Everyone who regained their freedom stood up from the ground, looking at each other with puzzled expressions. Only the Adventurer from earlier, as soon as he got up, nervously helped his companion to his feet.
"Xiumu! Wake up!"
Perhaps it was because this Adventurer shouted too loudly, or because the inexplicable little girl had come over to apologize, but the other Adventurers' gazes all turned towards them.
"Ugh... Hmm... What happened to me? Ah!! My injuries!!" The injured Adventurer also woke up at his companion's call, and then discovered...
Although this Adventurer's hands and feet were still wrapped in bandages and splints, there was no pain at all now.
After being forcefully pressed to the floor by the inexplicable little girl's strange power, the original wound on his abdomen had reopened.
His already fractured hands and feet, which had been set, broke again directly due to the forced kneeling at that command.
He had originally fainted from the intense pain and didn't know what happened next. He only seemed to feel a very warm sensation, and then heard his companion's call and opened his eyes.
He found that the fractures in his hands and feet were gone, and the large, fatal wound on his chest had completely disappeared, as if he had never been injured.
To confirm, his companion even pulled up his clothes and directly tore open the blood-stained gauze. There wasn't even a single scar, let alone the terrifying wound from before.
"What exactly is going on?!" Guild Master Einzack of the Adventurer's Guild pushed through the crowd and came over.
Guild Master Einzack knew about Xiumu's injuries. However, seeing Xiumu now looking at his chest, where there should have been a shocking wound, with a surprised expression as if nothing had happened, there was no wound present.
"Guild Master, this is...? Just now..." Even Xiumu himself didn't know what had happened. Looking at the blood-stained gauze and bandages, and the splints on his hands and feet, confirmed that these injuries had existed just a few minutes ago.
"..." Guild Master Einzack saw Xiumu was fine and, without a word, threw a punch. Xiumu instinctively defended, blocking Guild Master Einzack's fist.
"This is truly astonishing," Guild Master Einzack said with a sigh, dropping his stance. Before, he was incapacitated by his fractures and chest wound, but now he could actually defend against his attack.
"What exactly happened?" Xiumu was both surprised and delighted. Originally, surviving such severe injuries was already a miracle among miracles, but now, for some reason, after he woke up, all these injuries had disappeared, as if nothing had ever happened.
"It might have been that little girl, no, it must have been her. After I found Xiumu had fainted, that little girl came over and apologized to me, and she even said 'as an apology' before I saw a golden light flash on her, and feathers floated down!" Xiumu's companion stated emphatically.
"Golden light? Feathers?? Are you sure you're not mistaken?!" An Adventurer with a priest profession among the Adventurers pushed through the crowd and grabbed Xiumu's companion's shoulder, asking excitedly.
"I'm not mistaken. Although I only saw the little girl's skirt, I definitely didn't mistake that golden light and the falling feathers!" The companion confirmed.
"That... that's a Sixth-Tier recovery magic! Holy Healing!! A magic that only appears in legends!!" The priest Adventurer exclaimed.
"Sixth-Tier...? Are you sure you're not mistaken?!" Guild Master Einzack immediately became agitated upon hearing this.
"No... no... According to records, the characteristic of Sixth-Tier Holy Healing is that when cast, it emits a golden light accompanied by falling white feathers symbolizing sanctity. Its effect is to restore all injuries and abnormal statuses, no matter how severe the injury, as long as the person isn't dead, they can be restored. Even if hands and feet are severed or one is petrified, it can restore you. It can be said to be the strongest existence among recovery magic!" The priest Adventurer replied with great certainty.
At this moment, the Adventurers began to waver. The attitude of that inexplicable little girl earlier, completely looking down on the Adventurers present, was not without reason after all!
She possessed the ability to make people kneel with just a word, and her first move was a Sixth-Tier magic, and she even used it on someone she didn't know.
Realizing this, Guild Master Einzack suddenly seemed to remember something and rushed out of the Adventurer's Guild, intending to chase after the little girl. However, after rushing out the door, her figure was nowhere to be seen.
What a pity! Being able to use Sixth-Tier recovery magic, didn't that mean she might also be able to use Fifth-Tier resurrection magic?
When this little girl came earlier, she also said that she wanted to be someone who took commissions, meaning that the little girl's original intention was to become an Adventurer. But because he judged people by their appearance, he let her run away!
Being able to use Sixth-Tier recovery magic meant that the Adventurers in his Adventurer's Guild would have a guarantee! No matter how severe the injuries, they could be directly restored.
If she could also use resurrection magic, then his Adventurers would have absolutely no worries at all!!
Guild Master Einzack was filled with remorse for his blunder in letting Iri run away!
