In the morning of the next day, I visited the main base at the middle section.
Last night I went back home to clean up, and then went to Lescia's place to pick her up to then bring her to my place. The two of us spent the rest of the evening just talking, continuing where she previously stopped telling me about the things that had happened while I was gone. We talked until it was rather late, then we both went to sleep together.
In the morning, I made her breakfast and told her about my wish to start visiting the others at the center war base that is called the Middle Base. We left the house after eating breakfast, and I took her back to the castle before flying to the middle base.
Upon arrival, I realized that the middle base is a truly large one. Unlike the southern base or the northern base, the middle base is where all the main activities of the war are placed, because this base is the one having most of the battles rather than the north or the south.
The responsibility of handling the entirety of the desert's center. That is the middle base.
The size alone is three times larger than the southern base, with manpower I'm assuming also a lot more than the other two bases combined. It has more buildings too, which I'm assuming are facilities for different purposes.
The moment I landed in the center, everyone turned their attention to me. It was very hard not to notice a blood red haired female wearing full shiny Nychromium armor landing in the base, especially when the said person had a pair of massive devil wings behind her.
As the devil shadow wings dissipated into thin air, I looked around, and found that none of the people staring at me were familiar.
Until, ruckus came from the largest building in the base. There was a crowd of people in front of the base watching me, and the crowd split in half as a group of important people appeared.
Ah, there's the familiar faces.
Fran, Hod, alongside Jonus and other high ranking adventurers appeared from the large building. Fran and Hod specifically made their way towards me, ignoring the amount of eyes watching us.
As Fran got closer, I couldn't help but notice her condition.
She really did lose a hand…
But she minded that no more, and still rushed towards me. Once she got close, she threw her body at me and hugged me at high speed.
Wow… Looks like she had forgiven me-
BAKK!!!
She kicked my stomach with her knee, and I fell to the ground immediately.
She didn't hug me. She was just grabbing my back so she could lift her knee up and kick my stomach mercilessly.
"You are late."
"Heheh… sorry…"
I lifted my body up and turned towards Hod and Jonus, who were waiting by the crowd they just exited from. I nodded at them, and they nodded back.
Fran must have noticed the attention that we are currently amassing, and she turned to everyone in the main base. She can tell that everyone seemed really confused about what was so great about me that she would suddenly hug me, and so she did the unthinkable.
She held me using her only arm by the collar like a kitten, and loudly spoke to everyone.
"Does everyone want to see just how great she is? I am sure you are all curious."
H-Huh?
I turned my confused gaze to her, but all I can see is a cheeky grin that is very similar to a certain princess.
They really are cousins…
Fran let go of my collar and she started putting off the bandage on her cut off arm using her only hand and mouth. Meanwhile, I am extremely confused, and so is everybody.
But I get what she's doing by putting off the bandage on her arm. What I don't get is why the need to do it in front of everyone.
"R-Right here? Right now?"
"You need to show everyone what you are capable of. It makes things easier for everyone, right?"
Fran said with a grin, but I'm still hesitating.
"… This is going to be painful, you kn-"
"Just do it, everyone's waiting!"
Hearing her bark, I quickly turned shocked. I chuckled as I took out a knife from my ring. I slashed her wound open very quickly, and blood spurted instantly.
"O-Oi!"
Those who didn't know looked surprised, and it caused quite the commotion in the crowd watching us.
But being the strong lady she is, Fran only grinned from the pain.
I placed my hand on her cut off arm, and I activated my healing magic. The lights from the healing magic slowly take form into a hand, and slowly it regrows her hand. After a minute, her hand had completely regrown.
Everyone could only watch silently in shock as the display of an impossible magic was being shown in front of them, but Fran ignored those gazes and moved her new hand around.
"Wow… it really does feel weird."
"First time?"
Hod said while approaching, and Fran immediately had a brilliant idea.
She quickly moved in closer to the light blue haired guy.
And she immediately punched Hod in the face using her new arm.
BAKK!!!!!!!
""Wooaah!!!!""
Seeing the sudden brutal act, everyone became amazed.
"What was that for!?"
"Was trying out the hand, sorry."
"H-Huh!?!?"
She tried moving the fingers, ignoring Hod's menacing stare while rubbing his face. I healed his nose that was bleeding from the punch while Fran tried using her sword with her new hands.
"Yep. It's like it never disappeared."
She unsheathed her sword and turned to everyone. Fran pointed her sword at me, which startled me, then announced:
"Rize Violet. A Blue ranked adventurer, or also known as the Saint Healer!"
After she announced that, everyone was silent for a little bit. They are processing this information for a while, until finally… they cheered.
All of them. Cheered.
So loudly, at that.
Hearing that I am the saint healer, everyone quickly cheered. That's why the others were so excited. It's because the saint healer has finally come to aid the war.
But, why were they excited because I'm the saint healer?
I mean I get it, but… I can definitely do more than just heal, right?
The base turned busy immediately. I was then led to the medical station by the others, and was immediately given a task to heal all the wounded patients that were in the medical station.
All the patients were then healed by me, after just lightly tapping their wounds. Due to the speed of my healing, the entire one thousand and three hundred wounded soldiers were healed in less than ten minutes.
Which means, I healed them in merely 0.5 seconds per person.
Everyone who was at the base became… amazed at my arrival.
News then travels fast. Word that the Saint Healer has arrived at the Middle Base has reached the ears of a certain king in a large castle in the middle of his kingdom.
Hearing that the saint healer has arrived in the warzone, the King of Mazino grinned.
He turned towards his advisor who informed him of the news, and decided to start making a move once more.
A move that will decide it all.
"Call in all the Axelons. Looks like it's time we fight back."
.
.
.
Fran told me about some things that only the Axelon members, such as herself, know.
Apparently, the saint healer was The Axelon member. Not me.
I was so confused by that, not gonna lie.
Then I realized that the queen knows me, and she knew that I am a really good healer. She must have suggested it to the king about me, and allowed me to be part of the Axelons squad.
However, only the healer side of me. Not the adventurer side of me, nor the mage side of me. That's why the Saint Healer is the Axelon and not me as a whole.
Fran told me as the two of us, along with the dwarven Axelon from the main base and the two grand wizards from Xyphon, moved on a carriage. Everyone inside this carriage is an Axelon, and we all quickly get to know each other.
"My name is Malecous Carbart. In Mazino, they called me the Half-Dwarven King, a fellow White ranked adventurer. Want to know why my title is that? Because I'm a half-dwarf, half-human!"
The half dwarf introduced himself to Fran and I. I do recall that there is a White ranked adventurer from a long time ago called the Half-Dwarven King, so I became curious as to what kind of person he is.
"That's interesting. I never heard about a half dwarf before."
I said to Malecous, who is the Axelon from the dwarven kingdom, Balenia.
He was once known as the White ranked adventurer of Mazino, the Half-Dwarven king. But from what I heard, he retired and went back to his kingdom and became one of the most important figures there.
After introducing himself, he grinned towards me and Fran said:
"You two ladies are the only good reason that this Axelon thing is worth joining!!"
Fran and I quickly lost interest in him.
We then turned to the two old gran-wizards from Xyphon.
"We are two out of the three special grand wizards of Xyphon. We've heard so much regarding the saint healer, how a single powerful healing mage is gracious enough to heal the poor people of Mazino, all while wearing a disguise.
Not only were you willing to heal the poor people without asking for anything in return, but you also hide your identity to further state that you were doing it purely because you wanted to help.
We can tell easily that you have a pure heart!"
One of the two old grand wizards said to me, and I grinned cheekily at Fran. She quickly showed me the most annoyed and disgusted expression she could make.
"Seeing your powerful healing magic, I can see that you owned an Emperor tier healing magic. It's nearly impossible for someone to own a King tier magic these days… let alone an Emperor tier! A healing magic, at that!"
The old grand wizard, the grandpa with the red hat, continued. I gave him a simple nod.
"Thanks. Well, it was quite difficult to get them, but I have my own fair share of practice. And I don't just own one Emperor tier. I own two. See?"
I lifted my hand and conjured a purple flame on my hand, and the two oldies quickly turned riot.
"She is a saint indeed!!"
"A powerful saint!!!"
It's like they are praying to the ceilings of the carriage, they shouted while lifting both of their hands. I simply chuckled while being awkward and turned to Fran. She shook her head from a similar confusion to mine.
Are all the Axelons like this?
