Chapter 417 - Wrist Tapping

Now considering the fact that most Demons who entered this Dimension are crazed, there are extremely slim chances that this creature attacking today was plotted by a superior mind.

It is most likely that this creature saw a bundle of demons and charged towards them, biting and ripping through flesh until mutation followed.

It's sad that this specimen died today considering how rare they are amongst the world's oceans, it feels even worse how it died in an unnatural form and totally crazed mentally.

King Michael has this specific guilt about killing this creature but it wasn't particularly a bad decision in the long term, if this thing bred with one of its kind it would just continue to spread a bloodline of craze.

Generally, mutation wouldn't be frowned upon if it brings some benefit or at least doesn't bring more trouble. But this freak of nature jumped out of the water, slapped holes into the ground by every step and was at an urge to kill and destroy everything and everyone in sight.

Obviously, there would be no peace if this creature lurked around Gaster Kingdom. What if it popped up near the Fishermen and Spearfishermen? They couldn't have managed to bring this 900-1000 kilo thing down without losing at least 10 people.

Although his wrists hurt since he got struck by this beast, his curiosity was greater than the sharp pain when he moved his hands too much. Mogranius helped him cut a bit of cloth, afterwards King Michael tied his wrists tight and started analysing the creature.

Just by giving one look on the creature, he noticed how and why it has grown claws and why it has become this mad and crazy. No animal would run around trying to bite everything, each animal species has their specific instincts.

"This Lizard has gotten at least three mutations, which points out that it either completely obliterated one Demon and swallowed it whole, or it took several chunks out of a group of Demons." This little explanation by King Michael points out that him messing around with Rats has come in handy, he managed to accurately picture what this Lizard did before being at a set of craze.

He noticed how everyone is staring at him blankly, confused at best but they know this man is smart. Using the absolute golden silence, he continued laying out more information. "Considering its long pointed mouth, and these straight teeth. This creature commonly grabs on to prey and shakes until it rips a large chunk off."

"Meaning..." Mogranius asked, very curious about this creature but at the same time lost.

"Meaning it couldn't have swallowed a Demon whole. Chewing a Demon would take enough time itself, and would particularly be troubling to swallow down so taking a chunk instead is better for its overall individual safety." Beautiful information, perfectly described but biology isn't a big hype these times.

This creature is big, obviously can fit a whole Demon in its digestive system considering it's large size of 900 Kilos but biting chunks off is just its instinct.

The Great Headed Lizard although dangerous, it isn't the most beautiful creature. It's textureless, Imagine a 9 meter long carrot shaped creature with 4 flippers. That describes its overall shape, it has a body colour mixed with gray and blue.

Its shape, size and texture just points out that it's a species far older than the human race who is slowly going extinct because of the ecosystems who keep shifting along with the Centuries.

And finally laying down a bit of information that might seem as scary, King Michael added. "Although this mouth explains it a lot as a creature, along with the rest of the body it explains that whatever Demon(s) it bit through, they must have been very close."

Walking around the creature and analysing its lower abdomen area, he pointed at some claw wounds and said. "Look at these wounds, they are still bleeding. This isn't dried out blood brought down here because of its head exploding!"

...

As King Michael was analysing the Great-Headed Lizard, the word about a running ocean creature has spread wide in Gaster Kingdom and its people there prepared for the worst. 

But in other words it means that important people such as Ladia, Commander Alia and Woldemir have made their way up to the scene.

Woldemir wanted to aid in battle since he thought the Lizard is still attacking, Commander Alia wanted to help but was also very curious and Ladia mostly came here to see if there is anyone to heal.

Ladia became the most useful in this little group here, the rest mostly became spectators. This time at least she will have it easier to heal people, King Michael could use her powers right about now.

She has gained a tad bit of experience as a Healer due to the books arriving all the way from [Continent] Zameria, but we will make a special chapter about that soon enough.

As for now, she asked with the little Ignite language she knows. "Did anyone lose foot?"

"No one in particular." Eric answered, noticing that the young Ladia mentioning feet can be a bit of a joke related to the fact that Eric has a hole in his foot. "But King Michael can use a little bit of healing."

"He lose toe?" Ladia stuck to questions regarding decapitation.

"No, he just sprained his wrists." Dilli Flurry claimed and rubbed her own wrist with the other hand to signify what's hurting, being from another Continent Ladia might not understand the word "wrist" in Ignite language.

"Aha, that's easy heal." Ladia answered and tip toed towards King Michael who is still observing the dead animal, completely ignoring towards anything else.

Grabbing his wrist without any form of warning or request, she pulled it towards herself and raised his thick fur sleeves up. Michael looked at her and had the audacity to say, "When did you come here?"

"I heal your wrist." She answered, completely ignoring his question.

The type of healing she is putting in to process, is fairly different. She isn't waving her hand and waiting for the green light to do all the work.

Muscle healing, has a lot of finger tapping included in it. From the outside, they can just see small green light glowing on Ladia's finger.

But when she touches his wrist in one spot, that glow lasts on his wrist for a second or two before it fades. But the compelling part about it, is the pain!

She has tapped 4 times above the wrist and each time King Michael flinched in pain as if his wrist muscles are untangling by each tap. This type of pain is short, and by each effort his overall wrist pain is slowing down.

She gently turned his hand around so his palms would face towards the sky, and started tapping on places around the wrist until he got completely relieved from pain.

Repeating the process on the other wrist, she managed to heal the King here and win over his further appreciation. Apart from the fact that she asked no permission for anything, she did a pretty good job for someone who started reading about her powers a few days ago.

Eric got another check up too, 1/3 of his wound has been healed yesterday but since Ladia is a Hatchling (Level 1) Healer, she needs a bit more time to tame an entire hole through one's foot or any other body part.

Although his feet stinky from all the sweating, Ladia just went. "Pff pff pff." Before she went ahead to further inspect his foot, stench can't kill her after all.

First she waved her hand towards his foot, they saw a faint green light over the wound after, taming some damage. This "spell" is particularly harmless and wouldn't cause any pain, it mostly tickles.

But the next one might not be as fun, since a hole in his foot necessarily damages some muscle too, she needs to help regenerate muscle as well.

So she started tapping on the Electus' stinky stinky foot, a sharp pain followed after of course. Although, getting a sharp pain on one's foot is a bit less painful compared to getting that same pain on the wrist.

He endured an entire arrow going through his limb, this is nothing although it definitely makes him flinch.

"You need time heal, I will heal you day to day. 7 days and hole poof, gone!" Her Ignite language definitely is getting better, plus she is a delight to be around.

But enough about that, a strong screeching shout echoed across the flat lands, it caught all of their attention inevitably.

They all turned their heads towards the ocean, thinking that another large Lizard will submerge out of it. But no, that's not the case. Another ear piercing shout was to be heard, then the other and afterwards the next.

King Michael poked his head over the Great-Headed Lizard's hip, and noticed several crazed Demons running on four limbs, it isn't certain if they came from the ocean, but they are sure aren't far from it either as they took a shift directly towards the closest bundle of people.

Or best called, running towards the young Electus and the rest of his friends.
