St Chaos Healer

Ch 8 - The two mages

These two people, the way they were dressed and armed gave off a powerful aura for some reason.

After I took a good look at the bald guy with a hammer, his body was covered with little stains of blood. The concentration of blood was a lot more on the hammerhead of his hammer that he carried. It was almost drenched with thick blood.

Meanwhile, the girl dressed in black didn't have any bloodstains like that. She looked quite clean and fresh, unlike her partner. But the staff she was holding with a mysterious blue gem gave off a powerful aura... This power comes from that gem definitely emitting the power of mana.

I still haven't manifested mana core but I can still feel the power from that stone.

These two people are definitely powerful people.
They must be the so-called-

"Metrina, there are some people who are in need of healing." suddenly the bald guy spoke while he was glancing at us.

Hearing the bald guy the girl named Metrina followed the baldie's gaze.
Her eyes widened after seeing us and rushed in our direction.

I instinctively stood in front of my mother to protect her.
I still have no clue who these two people are and what's their motive.

But did I just hear baldie saying something about healing?

Metrina stopped right in front of me a few steps away.
I glared at her vigilantly but she didn't seem to show any malice.

Instead, she stared at my broken arms and her eye had this sympathetic look,
"Little guy, don't worry. I am a healer and I will help you heal your arms."

Healer!
Did she just say, healer?

I glared at her and she didn't seem to be lying to me.
My mom was in a much worse condition than me.
She also lost a lot of blood and if nothing's done, she might die.

"I don't need healing but my mother..." I replied and stepped aside.

Metrina quickly approached where my mom was and took a glance at her condition.

Her face stiffened and she seemed to be in thinking,
"Her arm is ruptured, bones are shattered and the flesh is badly torn apart. She has also lost a lot of blood. Her situation doesn't look good."

I fell on my knees and bowed my head,
"Please... Please save my mom."

This was the first time I ever begged for help, and not to mention to some stranger who I just met.
I once was the Overlord who never submitted or lowered my head against anyone before.

But this feeling of helplessness and this feeling of losing your loved ones once again.
I can't bear it anymore. If lowering myself before someone else helps me save her, then so be it.

Metrina just smiled and raised me up from the ground,
"Don't worry, I'll try to save your mom. I am a proud healer after all." she said winking one of her eyes playfully, "Now move away and leave her to me."

She stood in front of my mom and held her staff horizontally in the air.
Suddenly the blue gem in her staff started to glow.

I quickly backed away a few meters away from her.

Metrina closed her eyes and started muttering some words out loud. The bizarre words she spoke were in a weird tongue that I never have heard before.

While she chanted those words, a mysterious glowing blue glowing magic circle appeared above my mom. There were lots of runes and patterns inscribed within the circle as it hovered above her. The glowing intensity of the magic circle started to get brighter and brighter by the passing seconds.
