Chapter 176 You Are Our Hero
I saw a light—a very bright light.
I walked down in the dark forest, and my eyes were drawn to a bright light ahead of me.
It was so bright that for a moment, I couldn't see anything else, but as my eyes slowly adjusted, I made out the vague shape of a person standing amidst the brilliant radiance.
Suddenly, a voice shattered the silence of the night, piercing through the blinding light.
"Mom!" it cried out, and in that moment, I knew that person was my son, my dead son.
My heart racing, I moved closer, squinting and shielding my eyes from the brightness until the figure finally became clear.
"Fenton!" I ran toward him. He was waving to me while holding a baby. Then underneath it was a basket, from which I could hear the baby crying.
"Fenton, where have you been?!" I shouted angrily.
"Hahaha, take it easy I'm happy here. How's mom? Are you okay?"
When he asked that, I immediately remembered what happened to me. I looked back and saw an endless wilderness.
"Aaah… I see... I gave birth to those two children..."
"You did a good job, Mom."
"The one you're carrying, could it be..."
"That's right! This is my sister. Mother's second child. Then in this basket is the third child, and the fourth, look at them."
I peeked into the basket and saw two adorable children looking at me. As I show my face, they stop crying and reach out to my face happily.
"They look healthy and happy," I replied.
"Of course, I've been looking after them all this time. What about Mom?"
"Eh?"
"Do you want to look after the children with me?"
"I- I do!"
"Then, come with me... It's very happy there. There is no poverty, no hunger,
and no violence."
...
"Iva?" Peter called out to her.
But she didn't answer.
"Hey, Iva, open your eyes; look at our children."
Iva still didn't answer.
"Iva!"
"Rodion! Iva's not answering me! What's going on?!"
Pascoe somehow managed to break down the door; he ran towards his mother and called out to her.
"MOM! MOM! Wake up Mom!"
"It's bad; the blood flowing won't stop!
Allen! Give the potion to Iva!"
"Okay!"
Rodion held Iva's neck pulse and listened to her heartbeat,
"She's still alive," as Rodion said it, there was a sense of relief that washed over them, but a moment later, Rodion continued
"But her condition is critical. She's bleeding profusely, and potions can't just heal her."
Iva's wounds slowly healed, but the potion was not enough to make her heal completely. In fact, Iva's heartbeat had started to weaken.
"Next potion!"
Allen gave Iva the second potion, which had little effect once again. Iva was still not breathing, and the wound was still not fully healed.
"Do we need to give another one?!"
"It's useless! This is the limit! I'll do something!
Allen! Use the healing amnis during that time, and do anything you can to save her! I give you permission!"
Rodion placed his hands on Iva's chest, then pumped her chest.
"What are you doing?!"
"Just stay there! Pascoe and Peter! Keep calling Iva."
Allen looked at the mess body in front of him. Iva's stomach constricted, and blood kept coming out of her crotch.
'Since it's stormy outside and warm here, the fire spirits must be gathering in this house right now. I hope there are enough of them to use it many times,' Allen thought.
Allen started drawing the healing amnis of fire spirits that Lavinia had taught him. To use it, he had to focus on which part he needed to heal; the higher your knowledge of healing, the higher the healing effect.
The amnis was active, but it didn't have much effect. Of course, Allen was still inexperienced and lacked knowledge. Lavinia only taught him how to close external wounds. If the wound was inside the abdomen, then his knowledge and healing did not reach that deep wound.
'Which part should I heal? Which part is injured?" Allen didn't really know about that.
Then Allen remembered something.
Something that happened in the dungeon.
"Reig! Go back inside Iva's body and close her wounds like you did to Felicia and me!"
Reig immediately entered Iva's body.
After a few seconds, Reig came out
"Abare, Reig."
After he muttered that, the door to the house opened wide, the wind surrounding him as Allen's body slowly merged with Allen's.
"Allen! What are you doing?!" shouted Peter.
"Leave him alone! Quickly close the door!" replied Rodion, who continued to pump his heart.
Reig flew around Allen, and slowly the two of them merged. But this time, Reig did not merge with Allen as a weapon,
Instead, it became a black wing on his back.
Everyone stopped calling out to Iva and looked at Allen in amazement. Even Rodion who kept pumping Iva's heart immediately stopped doing so.
"A-Allen?" Pascoe said in amazement. There were black feathers from his wings scattered in the room.
"Allen, what the hell are you?" said Peter.
Rodion, who realized that he was distracted, immediately resumed pumping Iva's heart,
"There is no time to be amazed!" Rodion shouted to the others.
When Allen and Reig merged, Allen could have two focuses. He could also choose to increase his mind acceleration. Allen's goal was mind acceleration and the merging of memories between Allen and Reig.
Reig entered Iva's body to know which position was injured. By understanding the position, Allen can increase the performance of his healing amnis.
Then another way to increase the healing effect of amnis is through prayer. Since Allen still didn't know about religion, the results might not be as good as Lavinia's, but he still tried.
Allen drew a fire spirit symbol and added his command, then he prayed to God from the bottom of his heart, to heal Iva.
'God, I may not know anything about you, and I may not have done things that obey your command; in fact I may be a sinner who is completely against your righteousness, and I still don't even know if your existence is true or not. But I beg you; please give me your power to heal Iva.'
With a deep breath, Allen activated his amnis
"Angels who watch over us, please wrap his wounds with your love, ask for power from your god and flow into every cell of his body, and restore him so that he has the strength to serve you more."
The amnis circle that Allen made was weak, but because of Allen's prayer, and then the prayers of everyone in the room coming together, the amnis circle shone brightly and dazzlingly.
When he saw Allen, Pascoe thought, 'Allen, I'm sorry to doubt you. You may not be the same Allen as the hero of 1000 years ago...'
'But for me, you are our hero.'
