Chapter 232: Execution (3)

Wha, what are you doing now!

Stop it right away!

The middle-aged man and Hael urgently tried to dissuade them.

We cant wait any longer. Im just going to talk for a bit, so dont make a fuss.

It was problematic when the one causing the commotion said this.

Just as they were about to hit the rock again, the elders drew their swords.

You disrespectful brute to the Tribal Chief!

There was an order not to disturb the closure!

Both mens swords were drawn, long and threatening.

Their combined attack was so powerful that it would have cut them in two if they hadnt dodged.

The intention to cut off the breath of life was clear.

The continuous attack lasted until he moved away from the rock.

Ray, with an indignant expression, protested.

Why are you doing this to me!

Thats what we should be saying! How dare you be rude to the Tribal Chief!

Im just going to talk!

You are prohibited from approaching here!

They growled, raising their swords, but it would mean confronting everyone present if he forced his way through.

He sighed and looked towards the rock.

Despite the commotion, the inside of the rock was eerily quiet.

No matter what, its been three years. Even with food and water, theres no guarantee that a person is okay. What if theyve fallen ill? Who would take responsibility then?

The Tribal Chief would never succumb to such trivial illnesses.

Can you be so sure? Have you received any indication in these three years? I am the Saint. I can easily cure any disease. If someone needs to check, Im the most suitable one.

His rhetoric stirred the elders.

It was a compelling argument.

They hadnt received any answers so far, and since he hadnt come out for three years.

Hael shook her head, brushing off unnecessary worries.

Its the Tribal Chief, after all. He wouldnt have suffered any injury or illness.

The elders corrected their grim expressions at her assertion.

Indeed such worries are meaningless for the Tribal Chief.

He will come out when the time is right. He always has

As the atmosphere relaxed, Ray grew impatient.

He urgently needed to return to the Holy Kingdom and address the academys matters, but the Tribal Chief remained inside the rock, possibly munching on garlic and herbs.

He closed his eyes.

There was no other choice.

Even if it meant confronting everyone, he had to take them outside.

Wasnt Iriel brought along for this purpose?

Mana swirled in his eyes, which had been lifeless just moments before.

Instead of divine power, mana exploded around his body.

This is as far as the recommendations go. From now on, I will take you by force if necessary.

Let me warn you, dont think Ill go easy with my hand.

The elders, one by one, aimed their swords, exuding their aura.

The same was true for Hael.

Shaking her head, she intensified her aura and added one more thing.

Im sorry.

With those words as the trigger, the sword fight began.

The two middle-aged elders unleashed a clean sword formation, pressuring him.

While deflecting a sword aimed at his shoulder, Ray countered the incoming blade, resulting in a loud explosion.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Zweeeeng-!

Ugh

Grrr!

Both were pushed back by the recoil of their mutual strength, and other elders rushed in to take their place.

In a moment when swords clashed, Haels swordplay split into twenty separate attacks.

He grabbed the pulse of the middle-aged man.

Feeling a faint heartbeat, he opened the top of his clothing.

Of course, even that caused an uproar among the elders.

How disrespectful.

Refrain from any actions other than treatment.

Good me, I have to endure.

They say if you endure three times, even murder is excusable.

He slid his palm along the mans solid chest muscles.

After lightly pressing the abdomen and fiddling with the ribs, and even lifting the eyelids, the elders became angry.

What are you doing!

Dont think everything is allowed under the guise of treatment!

He answered nonchalantly to their blustering, almost ready to draw their swords.

If you want to kill the Young Tribe Chief, keep getting angry. Seriously. Even a Saint cant just pour divine power for healing. Even priests ask for patient details. With this kind of attitude, its too disgusting to proceed. Ugh, disgusting. Ptooey!

People were speechless at the sight of the Saint spitting on the ground.

As he pretended not to want to help, now it was their turn to plead.

Hael asked gravely.

Can you heal him?

Im trying to figure that out, but with all these dont do this, dont do that, its hard to say.

At his grumbling, she bowed her head.

We admit we were rash just now. The health of the Young Tribe Chief is a significant matter to us, which led to the commotion. Moreover, we have only lived here, not knowing how healers outside treat. It was ignorance on our part. Can you forgive us?

With a sincere apology, he couldnt remain stubborn.

Alright Ill look a bit more and let you know.

Thank you.

Hael smiled, and somehow, she reminded him of his mother.

Was it because she was a long-time friend from his childhood?

He shook off his distractions and focused on examining the middle-aged man.

Now, the elders only grumbled without nagging.

Ray tilted his head as he examined the body.

There doesnt seem to be anything wrong.

Nothing wrong?

Theres nothing that would cause a collapse. And its not like hes just asleep. Quite perplexing.

Immediately, an outcry arose.

This guy! Surely youre not running away without treating!

Im not like you, you know? Im still trying to find the cause, so wait a bit.

However, even after searching for over an hour, nothing unusual was found.

The elders grew increasingly desperate, fearing the Young Tribe Chief might die.

But the Saints response was nonchalant, Ah, well, people can collapse from exhaustion now and then, as if it was a common occurrence.

This guy! He must be holding a grudge from before!

Hes not planning to refuse treatment, is he?

Whether Ray knew the elders thoughts or not, he was unconcerned.

After all, if there was nothing physically wrong, the only remaining answer was a problem with the mana road, like Aira.

He knew the acupoints but had to painstakingly figure out how this Young Tribe Chiefs mana road was structured.

Since each persons mana road was slightly different and constructed based on unknown secrets, recklessly inserting mana might turn the Young Tribe Chiefs blood into fireworks.

This needs time and careful progression.

He sighed deeply, looking at the Young Tribe Chief.

Even if he rushed, it would take at least three days.

He spoke to Hael.

Block off my surroundings so no one can approach. And send everyone else out. This will take a few days.

Understood. Ill arrange that.

She began to usher the elders out.

Initially resistant, they left the cave without a word after seeing Haels cold expression.

Once everything was ready, Ray added.

Ill just take a quick look and tell you more, but remember dont interfere, no matter what. Unless you want to die together, you might try it.
