Chapter 252 - Unique... Healing?

Seeing her at such a foul position, Eric couldn't help but shed a tear. Sure she did a lot of propaganda behind his back until now, but she is still an Ignite who gave so much sacrifice. It was hard to see her head covered in blood pooling up around her. He went ahead and shook her shoulder, repeating. "Bittore, Bittore?"

His tone started cracking due to the thought of her death, hard to swallow indeed and his throat felt heavy. A tear rolled down from his eye, went through his cheek and fell down towards her head.

A green light surrounded her head with a light glow, it faded so quickly that one would not be able to notice it. Thankfully it is dark here, so Eric did notice it even though he didn't quite understand what happened. It even looked like her soul just left her body with that glow?

But no, blood stopped bursting from her head and she opened her eyes with a cough! Apparently that was the biggest damage she recieved until now, but still has it hard to move. Her knees are roughed up pretty bad and unless she doesn't try to heal them with the technology this time has to offer, it can only get worse.

"Good, you are alive." Spoke Eric with a sigh of relief, refusing to let out anymore tears. "We did it, we shut down the portal." Perhaps "shut down" isn't the best choice of words to use here, but it does clear out a point. No Demon can get through even if they clawed their selves out, however further walls of protection might be neccesary to completely prevent these beasts from coming in. That might not be a hard thing to do considering that they have time, but a wall is absolutely neccesary.

"Mogranius wake up!" Eric shouted and proceeded to shake him on the shoulders violently, but even though Mogranius is generally a very light sleeper he didn't wake up.

He knows for sure that Mogranius isn't dead, or at least he hopes. He doesn't have any wound on him and practically rolled down here, less damaging compared to everything Bittore experienced. Shaking didn't work, "Perhaps more wounds could wake him up?" He thought and with a devious smile he gave Mogranius a hard slap across the face. But no luck!

He began to worry, because when trouble approached Mogranius was always the first on his feet, probably because of Paranoia? Whatever his intend, he should have been woken up by now. Out of a sudden, a devious thought came through Eric's mind. "Wild Boars are attacking!" He shouted from the top of his lungs, it made Bittore smile although no one saw it.

"Shit shit shit shit." Mogranius repeated as he woke up and stood on his feet faster than the eye can blink, this unusual speed makes Eric believe even more that Mogranius is of the evolved. "You can't eat me bastards!"

"Ahahahaha!" Laughed Mogranius with a set of craze as he blasted countless Fireballs going with the rhythm of his laugh, thankfully he didn't hit anyone at that set of rage!

"There are no Wild boars are there?" He asked once he was able to think better and view that he is in a practical Dungeon. "Stupid kid."

"Hey at least you are okay!" Joked Eric around as he let out a light laugh, but remembering the most important part after he cleared out. "Bittore is roughed up really bad but she is alive. I think we can save her!"

"Really?" Mogranius asked, afterwards tried to find where Bittore is. His brain managed to catch up and he figured out that he needs light to see, he just woke up after all.

Blasting Fire from his palm to illuminate the place, his soul got shaken when he saw her laying on a pool of blood! "You think we can save her after all of this?" Approaching closer, seeing some half dry blood on her temples he stated. "This girl is dying."

"No you don't understand!" Tried Eric to explain in a loud whisper, as he shook his shoulder to attain Mogranius' attention. "There was a huge wound on her head but it disappeared."

Seeing where this conversation is going, with no need to ask more questions he put two and two together and asked. "Did anything odd happen before her wound disappeared?"

"Ugh... yes there was this random glow..." He still didn't understand what it was, and even thought that Bittore had some other unrevealed sorcery that she used to heal herself.

"Glow you say?" Rubbing his forehead to remember some past events, events before he time travelled here that is. "Can you do that glow again?"

"Ugh... I didn't do that glow..." Explained Eric as his anxiety arose due to the unknown and the pure fact of not understanding at all what's going on.

"Yes you did. I think you are tapping into your healing powers, do exactly what you did before the glow appeared." Mogranius is forming a good approach indeed even after considering that he forgot what light is a bit earlier, but will it work?

Eric just approached her, and carefully dropping on his knees he just stood near Bittore and started shaking her shoulders, repeating. "Bittore, Bittore!" He didn't manage to catch up yet, but this is exactly what he did earlier. Furthermore he didn't even notice his tear dropping before. "Bittore, Bittore." He continued to repeat until he was stopped by Bittore herself.

"This ain't working." She mumbled under her breath, in her thoughts trying to figure out how a Fire Controller can attain healing powers? If she could gain such powers as well, her people would fare a lot better. Even at such a position she is thinking about her own, amazing isn't it?

"I think I know how to fix this." Mogranius thought to himself as he tip toed his way behind Eric, with his palm he smacked the daylights out of him behind his head.

Mogranius figured it out once he further based it on past experiences or tales brought upon the previous Electus, but Eric was still lost. The smack behind the head made him loose track even further.

Another green glow appeared lightly over Bittore's head and it disappeared in a blink. But this time it got everyone's attention. "Eric, cry!" Urged Mogranius as he witnessed Bittore now wiggling her feet, this is definetly helping her heal.

"What? No! Why would I cry?" Asked Eric as he tried to rub the pain away from the back of his head, Mogranius' bony fingers sure pack a punch.

Seeing that Eric isn't willing to cooperate, likely using the term. "Boys or men don't cry!" As an excuse, Mogranius smacked Eric behind the head the second time.

Little did Eric know, a third tear was shaken out of his eyes and dropped on Bittore's cheek. Yet another green glow shone for a split second before it disappeared, interesting enough Bittore can now use her feet perfectly. She used bits of her strength to lift her self up and sit a bit away from the pool of blood.

"Why the hell are you hitting me man? I thought the Ghost Tree dropped its effects?" Eric asked, not as a joke but he genuinely thought that Mogranius returned to his usual pace of craze.

"Tears help her heal... If I remember it right, Healers under level 3 can use tears as a way of healing only!" Growing older tends to mess with memory, but at least he recalled enough to escape this situation with minimal losses.

Bittore began to feel more and more guilty, she used them to blow up a Kingdom yet they still didn't want to leave her to the mercy of the Sources or the god above them. They could have easily killed Bittore here and sneak their way out with the Dragon Eye, but Mogranius smacked tears out of Eric instead to help Bittore survive.

She didn't know what to say, but Mogranius has indeed a lot to talk about. "I told you to cry but you didn't, what else was I supposed to do?"

"By the Source of Fire if you explained it a bit more I would be able to cry!" Stated Eric as he tried to assure that Bittore is alright and comfortable, asking her. "Are you cold?" It isn't easy to not feel cold when sitting on carved rock.

"No no, I'm alright. Thank you!" Explained Bittore, stopping Eric at first since he already was half way through from removing his fur coat.

"No no, you're cold." He insisted, using Mogranius' influence of helping the less prepared. She just escaped death, Eric is in a better position so he can indeed help.

He pulled of his fur coat, covered her with it and along with Mogranius' help they made her sit on Eric's soft backpack filled with meat. "I'll go get the other ladies."
