Chapter 332

"Mr. Yi-Han?!"

"Yes? Huh? Did I make a mistake??"

Yi-Han, startled, looked up and down at the fallen knight.

After first healing the deep stab wounds, he had administered a potion to enhance the knight's recovery.

It seemed like he had followed the proper order, right?

'What did I miss?'

"No... No. You can use healing magic? If you use healing magic recklessly..."

Priest Mehrid examined the wounds.

Surprisingly, despite being quite deep wounds, they had healed cleanly. To the point where Priest Mehrid had no need to offer any advice.

'My goodness!'

"...I apologize! I had no idea you were this skilled."

"Ah, no. I only used it because it was urgent, but normally..."

Yi-Han wasn't particularly confident in his healing magic either.

Unlike other magic, a single mistake could worsen the patient's wounds, so how could he not feel burdened?

It was just that his hands had moved first because it was so urgent...

"Shouldn't we bring out the people inside?"

"That's why I'm saying we need to go in with as many people as possible to bring them out."

"I know that, but why are you giving the orders?"

"Then are you saying you'll do it?"

"Instead of arguing like this, it would be better to go in separately."

"If you guys go in first and make a mistake, it'll cause damage to those behind. Why are you trying to go in first? If you want to go in separately, come in from the back."

The adventurers murmured noisily.

Since there were many injured people inside, they had to bring them out, but they didn't really trust each other to do so.

Although most of the monsters that had teleported in were said to be wiped out, a dungeon was still a dungeon.

If they were forced to enter with unfamiliar members, conflicts could arise, leading to heavy casualties.

"Wait. Aren't you the one who subjugated the King of Ghouls last time?"

One of the chattering adventurers recognized Yi-Han, who was casting healing magic.

Yi-Han, who was about to make an excuse and stop casting healing magic, paused at the sudden remark.

"No..."

"It is him! It's the mage! I heard a lot about you from Gubon. He said if it weren't for you, they would have all died in the dungeon!"

"It wasn't that much..."

"Mage, please lead us instead! I think that would be better!"

"I agree!!"

Yi-Han was about to retort, asking why they would entrust this to someone who hadn't even been registered as an adventurer for half a year.

However, Baishada and Ghetse whispered from behind.

"I think it would be better to just accept it."

"If you don't accept, the adventurers won't be able to unite. The situation is urgent right now..."

"..."

Yi-Han thought, 'Then why are you asking me?' but unfortunately, there was no time.

Suppressing a sigh, Yi-Han shouted to the adventurers.

"Listen up! I am the one who subjugated the King of Ghouls, a mage of the Wardanaz family! Everyone, follow me! I will guide you with the power of great magic!"

"Wo... Woooooow!"

"As expected of the mage!!"

"Who is he?"

"Didn't you see him using magic earlier?"

"Isn't he too young?"

"Mages originally control their appearance with magic, you know."

Only about 1/3 of them knew what Yi-Han had done, while the remaining 2/3 simply cheered on the side, thinking he must be a great mage since others were saying so.

He must be an amazing mage!

'Well... if he's a mage, he'll do well.'

'He's better than that bastard, at least.'

The adventurers who had heard rumors about Yi-Han had high expectations, but the rest were still in disarray.

Yi-Han knew this too, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

'I'll just do what needs to be done.'

"Eyes, pierce through the darkness!"

Yi-Han abruptly cast a dark vision spell on one of the adventurers.

The adventurers were startled by the sudden casting of magic.

He wasn't going to do it for everyone here, so what was he doing now?

However, that surprise soon turned into astonishment.

"Eyes, pierce through the darkness. Eyes, pierce through the darkness..."

"!!!!"

"C-Crazy!"

No one had expected that he would cast enhancement magic on all the adventurers.

The adventurers now somewhat understood why mages were treated so highly.

'So this is why they treat mages like that...!'

'I think I know why Gubon praised him so much.'

"Let's go! I'll cast the next spell while moving! Feet, grasp the earth!"

Yi-Han moved toward the dungeon entrance while shouting.

The adventurers, who had been standing blankly, shouted as if enchanted.

"Follow the mage!"

"Protect the mage!!"

The adventurers, who had been scattered haphazardly, quickly gathered in an orderly manner and followed Yi-Han into the dungeon.

Baishada muttered at the sight.

"This is true magic."

"Don't move! The wound will worsen!"

"Rather than staying here, it's better to get out..."

The injured tried their best to get up somehow.

Staying here would only mean facing more of the dungeon's original monsters attracted by the smell of blood.

It would be better to get out first...

"Everyone, stay still! Light!"

"!!!!"

Yi-Han first created a light orb, stuck it to the ceiling, and entered the large underground cavern.

There were traces of collapsed rocks everywhere, likely from the teleportation.

The monsters that had teleported in were wiped out, but the subjugation team's condition didn't look good. They were all lying on the ground, groaning with broken bones and cuts.

'Damn it. I don't want to use healing magic.'

Yi-Han gripped his staff with a grimace.

"Arise, emotions! Space, be perceived!"

As he simultaneously cast emotion perception magic and space perception magic, the conditions of the fallen injured systematically entered his mind.

Yi-Han searched for the injured in poor condition and ran to them.

'Please let the wounds be healable!'

Fortunately, most of the injuries were from close combat. If they were broken bones or cuts, Yi-Han could somehow handle them.

"Stick together! Heal!"

After finishing the emergency treatment, Yi-Han shouted urgently.

"Bring the potions!"

"Mage! Can I give this person a potion?"

"Wait a moment! For major injuries, you need to heal them before giving potions!"

Potions like wound recovery potions usually worked by enhancing healing power to heal injuries.

It was a safe and reliable method, but in a situation with multiple severe injuries, drinking potions would disperse the healing power, weakening the effect.

The trick in this case was to first heal the urgent severe injuries with magic and then have them drink the potion. That way, even minor wounds could be healed.

"How did you do it so quickly...?"

"The injured should keep their mouths shut!"

Yi-Han finished the emergency treatment for the injured person and handed them over to an adventurer. The adventurers hurriedly placed the injured on stretchers and ran up like the wind.

'Enhancement magic????'

The fallen knight blinked his eyes.

It was definitely not the movement of an ordinary adventurer. It was the movement of someone wearing artifacts or under the effect of enhancement magic.

'All of them here...?? What's going on? I've never seen them before??'

At first, he thought a famous adventurer party had luckily arrived, but no matter how he looked at it, their equipment and attire had no uniformity.

Then it meant that enhancement magic had been cast on ordinary adventurers, but did that make sense?

Unless dozens of bored mages with overflowing mana had come out for a picnic...

"Cough, cough. Wait. Mage."

The knight quickly grabbed Yi-Han's wrist. Yi-Han, choked up, almost slapped his face.

'If you're injured, just stay still.'

Seeing the injured moving while blood was dripping made him lose his temper.

Was this why Professor Alkasis's personality had worsened??

"What is it? Let go of my hand."

"Not me, the young knights here... Please heal the young knights first. Mana..."

The knight seemed to have quite a bit of experience, as he knew well that mages had limited mana.

He brought it up out of concern that if he was healed first, the young knights might not receive treatment.

Of course, Yi-Han ignored it.

"Stay still. Heal!"

"No... Cough."

"I said stay still. Hey! The emergency treatment is done, so take him up!"

Yi-Han sent the knight, who kept making unnecessary remarks, up. Two adventurers quickly picked up the knight and ran up.

"Dan... Dangerous... In a dungeon, if you do this...?"

The knight muttered even while in pain.

He didn't know which dungeon this was, but moving so defenseless in a dungeon was not good.

If there were monsters hiding in the darkness, a major accident could occur.

...But strangely, the path they were taking was too bright.

"????"

The knight looked up at the tunnel ceiling in surprise.

Brightly burning orbs of light were placed at intervals.

"...????"

Baishada had liked the boy from the Wardanaz family since he chose the Shadow Patrol over the Wasteland Stargazers, but seeing him now, he couldn't help but like him even more.

The boy from the Wardanaz family was single-handedly organizing the chaotic scene where dozens of people were sprawled.

He cast enhancement magic on the adventurers to unite their will, made the dungeon tunnel as bright as day, and tirelessly healed the severely injured below before sending them up.

There were many mages with outstanding talent, but Baishada was certain that there was no mage in the empire who would dedicate themselves so fully.

-Grrr!-

At the sound coming from the path below the cavern, Baishada and Ghetse immediately raised their bows.

This was the moment they had followed along to shine.

So that Yi-Han could focus solely on healing magic!

"Move, poison!"

Yi-Han extracted the poison from the poisoned knight's wound.

And then he shot the poison away.

"Shoot forth!"

-Crackle!-

With a burning sound, the monster rolled on the ground.

Baishada, Ghetse, and Nillia looked at Yi-Han in disbelief and shouted simultaneously.

"Focus on healing magic!!"

"You can focus on healing magic!!"

"Focus on healing magic!"

"..."

Yi-Han healed one more fallen knight and sent him up.

Gradually, there was a lot of empty space in the cavern, and only those with injuries like broken bones remained. Yi-Han let out a sigh of relief.

'We managed somehow.'

When they first arrived here, his heart had sunk, but luck was on their side.

If nothing unusual happened, it seemed they could gather the injured and go up.

"Mage! Reinforcements have arrived!"

"Reinforcements? That's good."

Yi-Han brightened at the report from the adventurer who had brought the injured out and returned.

"Did the priests come? Which order are the priests from?"

"No. It seems that since there are so many injured, it's difficult to handle with priests from one or two orders."

"Then?"

"They said they called professional healing mages?"

"That's fortunate. It's a relief."

Yi-Han nodded.

Indeed, it was much faster to summon healing mages on standby all at once than to contact the orders in the city and find available priests.

Usually, in such cases, the healing mages called in moved as a group. If there were many injured, a single mage absolutely could not handle it.

Now that the healing mages had arrived, the rest could be considered wrapped up.

Even if Yi-Han had made clumsy mistakes, the healing mages would take care of it.

"Thank you. Mage. Sob sob..."

"Last one! We're done. Let's go out!"

After taking care of the last remaining injured, Yi-Han shouted to the people in the cavern.

Everyone burst into applause and cheers, preparing to go out.

"Good work. Mage!"

"It's truly thanks to you that the knights here survived!"

As everyone cheered, only Nillia had a pensive expression.

Yi-Han asked, puzzled.

"Is something worrying you?"

"Didn't they say they called professional healing mages earlier?"

"They did?"

"...Doesn't anything come to mind? Really?"
