“Zheng—!”
A gentle radiance slowly bloomed, spreading like a gradually surging hot spring, enveloping the entire room.
On the bed, Fang Li held a Jewel, his eyes gently closed.
The soft glow leaked through the gaps between Fang Li’s fingers holding the Jewel, revealing to onlookers that the source of the light was indeed the Jewel.
Shana stood nearby, her body also bathed in the gentle glow. She felt as if she were soaking in a warm spring, a sensation of warmth flowing through her entire body.
The last time, it was this radiant light that completely healed the scars on Shana’s body, leaving no trace behind.
Now, after twenty-four hours, the Healing Jewel had finally regained its functionality.
Therefore, Fang Li, without the slightest hesitation, once again used this recovery item.
When the radiance dimmed, Fang Li opened his eyes.
Only at this moment did Fang Li feel it.
The sharp pain that had been lingering in his arms and shoulders since yesterday had completely disappeared.
Fang Li raised one hand and applied a slight force.
“Pa—!”
With a crisp sound, the bandages wrapped around Fang Li’s arms and shoulders suddenly snapped.
Fang Li removed the bandages.
Shana immediately looked over.
On Fang Li’s arms and shoulders, the severe injuries visible just yesterday had completely vanished, leaving no trace or scar.
Fang Li moved his body a bit and felt the Prana flowing within his body at full capacity. He came to a conclusion.
“It’s fine. It’s completely healed.”
Even without Fang Li saying it, Shana knew this well.
As a girl who could sense the Power of Existence, Shana could clearly perceive that Fang Li’s presence had suddenly expanded to the limit, and even his aura had become stronger and more powerful.
If he hadn’t healed from such injuries, it would have been strange.
At this point, Shana couldn’t help but examine the Healing Jewel and express her thoughts.
“It’s a pretty convenient Treasure Tool.”
Indeed, it was quite convenient.
For injuries of that degree, if left to natural recovery, even a Flame Haze with astonishing regenerative abilities would need at least a week of rest, unless assisted by Unrestricted Spells.
Yet, Fang Li, with just a Jewel, had fully recovered within two days.
Moreover, he had also healed Shana simultaneously.
Therefore, for Shana, who didn’t understand how to use recovery-type Unrestricted Spells, the Healing Jewel was indeed very convenient.
Of course, Shana currently had learned only a few Unrestricted Spells, with Fuuzetsu/Seal being the most commonly used.
Hence, Fang Li remarked, “If it were an Unrestricted Spell Master proficient in using recovery-type Unrestricted Spells, they should be able to achieve even faster results, right?”
Fang Li, saying this, was unaware that the so-called proficient Unrestricted Spell Master had already arrived in Misaki City.
And not just one but two of them.
…
“Hu—!”
A somewhat noisy wind swept through the air, causing the temperature to drop significantly.
“This looks quite serious…”
This voice came from the top of Misaki Bridge, a location where people would normally find it impossible to appear. Yet, there was indeed someone there, and it was a woman.
Moreover, she was a woman who appeared to be over twenty, with a tall figure, fair skin, beautiful features, and chestnut-colored long hair tied in a ponytail. She wore a blue suit dress reminiscent of a professional office look, giving off an aura of nobility.
However, this elegant woman appeared on the top of the iron bridge with a stern, almost vicious expression on her face. She wore frameless glasses, and her gaze forward was extremely sharp.
Even more eye-catching was the item she carried— a thick, hardcover book with straps that could almost be used as a pillow.
She slung the large hardcover book over one shoulder like a bag and, looking out over the commercial district of Misaki City, she spoke in a somewhat blunt tone.
“What’s going on with this city? Why are there so many Torches?”
Someone responded to this question, or rather, agreed with it.
“No wonder that guy from ‘Corpse Retriever’ came to this remote island country city. Haha.”
This somewhat vulgar and ear-piercing voice came from the large hardcover book.
“After all, that guy who likes picking up junk most often does the thing of eating Torches. It’s quite unexpected for a minor character, right? Hahaha!”
While the vulgar voice laughed heartily, it muttered, “So, relentless pursuer Margery Daw, what should we do next?”
“Of course, we will pull that guy out and kill him. I’ve been chasing that minor character for so long; I’m getting annoyed.” Margery spoke with great displeasure. “Do you have any objection, Marchosias?”
“How could I?” Marchosias emitted an indecent laugh, his voice filled with violence. He said, “No matter what kind of guy it is, as long as it’s a ‘Denizen,’ I will kill them all— bite them, stomp them, burn them. That’s what we’ve always been doing, right, proud battle maniac Margery Daw?”
“Shut up, idiot Marchosias!” Margery’s tone remained rough, but a somewhat grim smile appeared on her beautiful and charming face.
“Exactly! Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill them all!”
The hatred and hostility emanating from Margery’s voice were unimaginable.
At this point, there was no need for further explanation.
This person was a Flame Haze.
Moreover, she was a typical Flame Haze fueled by revenge.
“Now, let’s start constructing an Unrestricted Spell to find him! Let’s see if we can locate that ‘Corpse Retriever’!”
Marchosias laughed heartily, this time in a mocking tone, saying, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. There seems to be a Flame Haze already in this city. Being too reckless might attract their attention. Isn’t that right, my brilliant Unrestricted Spell Master Margery Daw?”
“That’s just perfect,” Margery spoke with extreme impatience. “If we find anyone disagreeable, we’ll take care of them together.”
Having said that, Margery raised one finger towards the sky.
“Zheng—!”
An Unrestricted Spell, like a totem, suddenly appeared and rotated at the tip of her finger, gradually expanding.
…
“—!”
In the apartment room, Fang Li and Shana almost simultaneously turned their heads, looking in a particular direction.
Soon after, Alastor solemnly spoke.
“Someone’s here.”
Yes.
Someone’s here.
But whether they are a newcomer or not remains unknown.
