Chapter 201 Come on, spread the word!
Thanks to Aiwas's rescue efforts, the injured finally managed to hold on until the church pastors arrived at the scene.
Even Bishop Mathers came.
They even started contacting the Royal Law University - if there were still not enough people, they would just have to bring a busload of students over to help.
Illumination requires touching the opponent's forehead, back of the head, or heart with the palm of your hand, injecting the light drawn from the burning priest's life into them. Dispelling curses requires touching the back of the head, while healing wounds requires touching the heart.
Therefore, it was really inconvenient for him to sit in a wheelchair, so he simply did not let Shadow Fiend come back.
It stayed in Lily's shadow the entire time... Fortunately, the Shadow Fiend didn't cause any trouble, didn't make a scene in public, or show off its presence. Instead, it stayed quietly with Lily, watching Aiwass treat the wounded and occasionally coming to lend a hand.
The fuel for illumination magic comes not only from light-attributed mana but also from the caster's vitality. Excessive use of illumination magic can also damage and deplete one's body. Bishop Mathers's aged demeanor when he first appeared before Aiwass was the result of excessive illumination magic use in a short period of time.
At this time, you need to use the fire sacrifice method to consume mana to quickly heal yourself.
Therefore, the total number of injuries a priest could heal was limited. Slightly less serious injuries were best left to students for practice—at least they wouldn't get any worse.
When his mana was almost completely depleted, Aiwass began praying to the candlestick master. He repeated this twice, until his mana was completely drained. When his prayers could no longer generate any mana, he finally stopped.
There was visible fatigue and weakness on Aiwass's face.
But his eyes were shining with joy and satisfaction——
Because with his help, those who were knocked down, seriously injured... and even whose hearts had stopped beating for a while, have all recovered.
In the end, no one died in this massive attack.
Even the "killed" inspector that the Great Guardian had previously peeked at in the "Eye of Avalon" was forcibly pulled back by Aiwass.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Moriarty..."
Director Taiya, who was "resurrected" by Aiwass, stood beside Aiwass with great gratitude: "Without you, I don't know how big a mess this would have been... Thank you very much for saving me."
As she spoke, she subconsciously touched her abdomen.
Thank you very much for the extra treatment you gave me - but she was too embarrassed to say it in front of so many people, so she could only repeat it like a repeater: "Thank you very much..."
Aiwass nodded sleepily: "It's okay."
——Now in the entire Supervisory Bureau, all the injured are standing.
Now, Aiwass looks the most likely to be quick.
The ordinary people also wanted to thank Aiwass, but they were stopped by the supervisors who had stood up and recovered. They did not want to disturb Aiwass's rest... He was already very tired.
These ordinary people are actually the group that has suffered the most in this crisis.
Because the Noble Reds had deliberately attacked them—perhaps to cause chaos, or perhaps out of a titanic desire for revenge. Aiwass even saw a little girl, twelve or thirteen years old, her entire body nearly ripped apart by the demon dogs. Her face was no longer recognizable as human, and her body was a bloody mess.
After Aiwass helped her dispel the virus and heal her injuries, he also used some extra magic power to completely remove her scars.
For the girl, the ugly scars on her face, chest, and back were very sad, so even though she didn't ask Aiwass to do it, Aiwass volunteered to give her the full treatment.
Or perhaps it was precisely because she did not ask Aiwass for help - such a sensible and good child was even more worthy.
After all, Aiwass prioritized treating those who were most seriously injured, and by the time it came to her, Aiwass didn't have much mana left.
According to popular belief, Aiwass can even be said to have "resurrected" more than a dozen people.
Many people even had a death experience, but were pulled back by Aiwass.
——This is simply a miracle.
Because most people don't have access to this level of treatment.
Although the church has healing methods, priests are generally not allowed to heal people directly. This is because priests have limited mana. If they spend a lot of mana to heal one person, they will be helpless against other people who come to ask for help today.
For most people, the most they can get is "one standard unit" of treatment.
That is, they line up, and then the priest lights up the illumination spell, and each person touches a little blue.
Just one sip of milk is enough, it’s impossible to have a full cup of milk - what if I give you a full cup of milk and something happens to others?
Each of you will take a sip of milk, and at most we can get together to sing a poem, send you a group blessing, and then go back and recuperate slowly.
A district church, at most, would have one bishop and seven or eight priests. Just two wounded soldiers of this magnitude could drain a bishop's mana for a day. Not to mention healing scars and old injuries... That would require favors, perhaps even getting a bishop-level priest to take a day off to specifically treat you.
Aiwass was able to heal them only by relying on the container attribute and the high-efficiency group healing of Butterfly. Otherwise, he would not have been able to save so many people.
He couldn't help but feel fortunate...that he had sealed the little butterfly.
So many people survived thanks to Aiwass... This can be said to be quite a sense of accomplishment.
Aiwass still likes this feeling. This is also the reason why he likes to play the healing role in the game.
Although he doesn't think he is a good person, he is not against doing good things.
Aiwass just doesn't like doing "good things" that have no results or may not necessarily have results.
As long as he was sure he could do it and it was within his capabilities, then even if the other person was unfamiliar to him, he was willing to take risks, spend money, consume mana, or burn his life force to help others. Those he had helped before were basically all within this range.
If something is beyond Aiwass's ability or he has no idea how to do it, he will not force himself to do it. Instead, he will directly refuse.
In this respect, Aiwass is the exact opposite of Sherlock. Aiwass doesn't like "difficult problems" as much as Sherlock.
As a healer, he felt a great sense of accomplishment watching his dying teammates recover under his care... a sense of redemption, a sense of being brought back to life.
When Aiwass was a child playing games, he liked to play the healing profession.
When he was in elementary school, he played online games. After learning how to heal, he would stay in the main city. If he saw someone passing by with low health, he would rush over to help them heal. If he saw someone without a buff, he would apply one to them, then send a happy or jumping emoji to celebrate the healing. At this point, the other person would most likely stop and send a thank you.
In games with cooking functions, he will also give some food to newcomers on the roadside, and the other party will most likely say thank you in return.
Aiwass feels joyful at being able to help others with just the flick of a finger, and perhaps because of this, he can find new friends in almost any game he plays.
But healing abilities are at a premium in the world of Ouroboros.
Health is incredibly valuable in this game. Healers generally don't provide much healing, and even health potions don't restore much health. While they're called tanks, they're not the kind of tanks you'd find in traditional online games. Instead, they absorb damage through dodging, parrying, blocking, and using wards.
DPS classes, on the other hand, prioritize evasion over dodging, emphasizing positioning and timing over standing still and racking up big numbers—only DPS who can survive can deliver. At higher levels, DPS classes are essentially the same size as cloth armor classes, and half as good as armor-piercing classes.
Today, Aiwass nursed the man to the point of dizziness, barely able to stand. He was so weak that his speech was limp. Half his hair had even turned white, and his cheeks were slightly sunken. He looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness.
——Luckily, he has his own wheelchair and can lie down and rest directly.
This is when the significance of a wheelchair comes into play!
Although it looks scary, it's actually not a big problem.
When you wake up tomorrow and your mana is fully restored, you can perform the fire sacrifice again and you will be able to recover.
And this time, Aiwas's self-sacrifice will surely be responded to by the path of dedication.
But at least, he obviously couldn't return to the dormitory today. If something happened to him in this state, he would be unable to protect himself - at least that's what Bishop Mathers thought.
The Great Guardian has already returned to the Temple of Silver and Tin to report the situation, so it is not convenient for Aiwass to return to his home.
So Bishop Mathers thought about it and took Aiwass and Lily back home.
As people watched Aiwass leave, their expressions were filled with respect and gratitude. The girl Aiwass had cured and her mother even ran a long way after him, their eyes wide with admiration and longing.
Although these ordinary people certainly did not know that illumination magic consumed vitality, they were not blind - they could see with their own eyes that Aiwass was becoming gradually weaker.
I also know that other priests would never treat them so wholeheartedly.
Aiwass had been in the newspapers several times and had been decorated. Many people knew him and knew his identity and surname.
That's a real "Moriarty".
A legitimate founding family, perhaps even a direct descendant, the first heir—rounding it off, the head of a guardian family. If he so desired, he could become a powerful minister favored by the queen.
Although those who lived in the Red Queen District were not considered commoners... compared to Aiwass's noble status, their backgrounds were nothing. And this "noble vitality" seemed to increase the effectiveness of the treatment - although in reality, it was the same.
Besides, Aiwass had personally defeated so many enemies—something many of them had witnessed. Those vicious red-clad thugs and the two giants were all defeated by Aiwass!
After the fierce battle, he had to drag his tired body to heal all these strangers without asking for anything in return.
Even the pastor of the church doesn't do as good as him.
——Even though Aiwass was too tired to be interviewed this time, they still had to publicize this matter!
Among the ordinary people rescued this time were reporters and bosses from other newspapers, as well as some ship owners and writers. The fact that they could come to the Supervisory Office in Red Queen District to handle business meant that their houses were in Red Queen District.
And they were determined to spread this "heroic act that could not be reported by the Glass Steps Newspaper" throughout the entire Glass Island!
No, Glass Island is not enough - Mr. Aiwass's noble character must be spread throughout Avalon!
