Chapter 312

"Alright, let's calm down now and assess how much your condition has improved."

Despite the significant passage of time, the members were reluctant to let Yuder go. Their pure joyous embrace had long since morphed into an enforced contact, a conduit through which pent-up anger was unleashed. As Yuder let out a small groan under the grip of their tight embraces, warning him not to even dream of engaging in the dangerous act of fighting monsters alone again, Kishiar, who had been leaning against the wall, intervened.

"But, Commander. Do you think Yuder would even tolerate this if not for the circumstances?"

"You're right. Let us scold him a bit more."

The members protested with a sense of regret, but Kishiar was a step ahead.

"Well, if you want to continue, I can't help it. I don't want to miss my turn to scold him either. Let me join in."

As Kishiar approached with open arms, the members quickly lost their will. Yuder sighed with relief, finally released from the intense pressure that nearly broke him. Lusan, who had been watching and laughing from a distance, approached to examine Yuder closely.

"The venom that had seeped into your skin is rapidly disappearing, and your body temperature is normal. Let's see if you can accept the divine power now."

Unwrapping the bandages around Yuder's limbs, Lusan scrutinized the remaining dark discoloration and infused them with divine power. Until recently, these spots would temporarily disappear when receiving divine power, only to increase again. However, this time was different. As Lusan noticed the spots gradually fading to a normal color without reappearing, a sense of relief and joy appeared on his face.

However, while his body was regaining strength relatively quickly, his eyes were not showing much improvement from their initial recovery. In particular, the left eye, where the black stains were most spread, was still unable to distinguish between light and dark.

Lusan posited that it was due to this area absorbing the most fluid from Pethuamet, and while slow, he believed that it would gradually improve over time. He then infused Yuder's body with divine power a few more times. In the brief respite as his comrades stepped back to guard the Magic Spring, Yuder quietly spoke to Lusan.

"Priest."

"So, because the depth perception might be different with one eye, it may be more comfortable to keep it covered until it gets better... Yes?"

Lusan, who had been mumbling, responded belatedly. Yuder, pointing to Kishiar with his eyes, who was not too far away giving instructions to the members, continued his words.

"I think I'm fine now. Could you perhaps also check on the Commander?"

"The Commander?"

"Yes. He looks tired, so please take a look when he returns to his room."

Upon hearing Yuder's request, Lusan glanced at Kishiar with a puzzled look. To him, Kishiar seemed no different than usual. But Yuder thought differently. He believed that Kishiar was merely maintaining his calm in front of the others, but was in fact very exhausted.

Lusan tilted his head at this but agreed to examine Kishiar discreetly as Yuder asked. Despite this reassuring answer, Yuder, who knew Kishiar's body was different from ordinary people, couldn't be entirely at ease.

Kishiar would undoubtedly come to find him tonight. Although they hadn't specifically discussed it, Yuder was certain Kishiar would sneakily come to check on his condition personally once again.

'I'll examine him then.'

'But what happened with the Magic Spring Ruins?'

Yuder recalled the voice that had whispered to him to hold back his hand and not forcefully suppress the ground. As he followed those words and did not resist the movement of the earth but instead moved as though gently coaxing and soothing it, the earthquake soon subsided.

Kishiar had said it was due to the long-accumulated magic power disappearing. Yuder remembered Kishiar speaking as if he was expecting some sort of change to occur around the ruins and the Great Sarain Forest after the magic power was exhausted from casting a gigantic spell. However, he had not at all anticipated that this change would be an earthquake.

'If the exhaustion of the magic power accumulated in the Magic Spring caused the earthquake... perhaps the balance has been broken again.'

The talks about 'balance' that Lusan and Kishiar had speculated upon each for their own reasons simultaneously came to Yuder's mind. Lusan speculated that the imbalance of the massive power at the Magic Spring Ruins could have caused the appearance of the monsters, and Kishiar said the cause of the abnormal growth of the Great Sarain Forest, including the cracks, could be the same.

If that was true, he began to worry terribly at the thought that the earthquake that occurred today might lead to the appearance of more cracks or abnormal behaviors in the monsters.

Just as Yuder was beginning to consider whether or not to leave his place, a sound was heard, tapping against the window. Despite being on the second floor, Kishiar, with his calm face, was jokingly smiling outside the window.

"May I come in?"

"..."

He had expected a visit, but not through the window. With an indescribable feeling, Yuder opened the closed door.

"What are you doing? Why didn't you come in through the door..."

"I was curious about the feeling of having someone answer when I knock."

Yuder was speechless at the sly response. After closing the window and looking around, he let out a small sigh.

"So, did you find it amusing?"

The answer he received was an embrace.
