Chapter 59 Saving Ben

"It's 2 skill points." Lori answered after checking.

"Alright." Luke nodded and then gave her another two berries. "Eat these and level your skill up."

Nodding, Lori ate them and heard the announcements.

[+1 Skill point. +2 Mana.]

[+1 Skill point. +2 Intelligence.]

She then used the two skill points and upgraded her [Minor healing] to level 5.

When she read the description, she could help but sigh in relief and then smile in excitement.

Luke, noticing this, asked, "It improved, right?"

"Yes." Lori nodded. "Its efficiency has increased. The wound which previously would've needed 10 mana units, now only needs in 7-8. Most importantly, now I can use it five times a day."

Then, without waiting for Luke's order, she walked over to Ben, kneeled down beside him, slowly opened the cloth bandage over the deep on his chest before putting her hands over the wound.

Luke, professor Nina and Julia, looked at her nervously, hoping that she would be able to stabilize his condition for the time being.

As [Minor healing] was activated, the horrifying wound across his chest started healing. A few seconds later, the skill's glow vanished, and Lori took her hand away, panting.

Thud!

She fell back on her butt, her face pale from exhausting her mana and her blurry. "Luke... band... age his... wound." She said, her voice breaking and immediately after, she fainted.

"Mom!" Julia cried out in worry as she ran over and put her head on her lap.

"Don't worry. She fainted just because she exhausted all her mana to heal him." Luke said, sitting down beside Ben and glancing at his wound. Although it only healed by 20-30%, it wasn't bleeding like before and had stabilized. Now they could take their time and slowly heal him.

Hearing him, Julia calmed down. After he bandaged Ben's wound again, he sat down beside him and took out the remaining five berries.

He gave Julia one to feed Lori and ate the rest. Immediately, he also heard the announcements, which improved his mood a little.

[+4 Skill points, +2 Agility, +2 Health, +4 Mana.]

The boar let out an enraged roar before turning toward Shadow and charging at him. Its response was so quick that Shadow didn't have time to dodge. Fortunately, Rio had arrived, and he rammed his body into the boar, throwing it off course.

Whoosh!

Eyes narrowing in frustration and wariness, Shadow dashed toward it and before it could gain its balance, he once again slashed at its neck, this time using all his strength.

Slash!

Rip~!

The sword landed on the wound and ripped through it, reaching over 60% deep into its neck.

"Fuck! Just how though its flesh and bone are!" Shadow cursed when he saw he couldn't slash its neck off, even with all his strength.

Fortunately, it was enough because as more and more blood sprayed out from its neck, the boar's figure stiffened and its eyes lost the spark. Thud!

It then fell to the ground with a thud, causing everyone to sigh in relief.

A white soul orb shot out of its body and entered Shadow, who then heard the announcement.

[You've killed a level 7 beast. +2 strength, +1 agility.]

"We should find a place to hide and rest. If we are lucky, miss Alice will wake up soon and we will be much safer." Rio suggested.

Shadow didn't answer for a while, his eyes narrowing in thought.

'Now, I don't know if that guy, Luke, is still alive. Should I bother myself to take care of them? Can't I just escape by myself?'

As he thought this, he glanced at the boar and then unconscious Alice and sighed, his shoulders slumping down. 'Forget it. I'm not strong enough to survive this forest on my own if I encounter more beasts. Besides, I don't think that guy will die so easily.'

Just then,

ROAR!!

They heard a loud roar, similar to the boar they just killed.

"Fuck!" Shadow cursed and dashed over to Alice before picking her up and shouted at Rio, "Let's move away from here."
