Chapter 30: Magical healing art

Kain’s face was deathly pale. There was a huge gaping wound in his abdomen—his internal organs were visibly floating in a pool of blood.

His right shoulder was nearly severed, and the silver armor on his chest was completely caved in. The imprint of a fist could clearly be seen on it.

“How did he get so badly injured?!”

The demon army this time was only supposed to be led by one demon general, Zuka. And Zuka was already seriously wounded with one arm severed.

Even in direct combat, Kain shouldn’t have ended up like this!

“It was a warlord—Barn.”

Barn?

She had never heard that name. But right now, saving Kain’s life was more important!

Luo Li reached out and touched his armor. The front of the armor had been completely crushed. It was likely pressing down on his heart.

“You! Split open his armor. Can you do it?”

She pointed to the nearest Templar Knight. The emblem on his chest identified him as a Brave Knight.

“Yes, Your Holiness. Please step back.”

Luo Li nodded and quickly took a few steps back. She didn’t even care about the mud beneath her bare feet. Her eyes were locked on Kain’s body.

He was one of her most important knights!

There were only eight Guardian Knights in the entire Moonlight Kingdom. Losing even one would be a major loss to her!

Kain might not have been handsome, but he was unquestionably loyal and brave.

Gerald looked at the worry and urgency in the Saintess’s eyes. Her expression was absolutely genuine.

A Saintess who truly cared about her subordinates like this—worried and heartbroken for their lives—was a blessing to both Glorious City and the entire Moonlight Kingdom.

Thinking that, he raised his greatsword, which flashed with a silver arc.

The armor on Kain’s chest, which had already lost its divine protection buff, was instantly sliced open.

Just as Gerald turned to report to Her Holiness, a figure suddenly rushed past him, pushing him aside with a gentle but firm force.

Then he saw the Saintess herself.

She didn’t care at all about getting covered in blood. She dropped to her knees on the cold ground and, with furrowed brows, began checking Sir Kain’s wounds.

“His ribs are broken and have pierced his lung. That’s the critical part.”

Luo Li glanced over him. In fact, she didn’t even need to analyze too much—when the armor was split open, Kain’s chest

had immediately sprayed blood. That was because the broken ribs had pierced his lungs, and now his mouth was filled

with bloody foam.

The moment she saw that blood foam at his lips, Luo Li knew things were bad.

What would kill Kain wasn’t the massive abdominal wound. That area was full of blood, and his organs were clearly visible.

But that injury hadn’t severed his spine or cut his kidneys. It looked horrifying but wasn’t instantly fatal.

Yet Kain was already semi-conscious.

With the powerful body of a level 50 Guardian Knight, along with the buffs from his title, even with such wounds, he shouldn’t be unconscious.

As for his right shoulder—it was a deep bone cut, but not fatal either.

So the only real danger had to be in his chest!

Without hesitation, Luo Li checked her remaining mana.

She was at full capacity—exactly 20 points. From the beginning until now, she had only cast a single “Light Blade” spell and hadn’t used any other regular skills.

Everything else she used was from her class-exclusive skills and divine powers, which didn’t consume mana.

With time passing, her mana had fully regenerated.

She placed her hand on Kain’s chest. Sticky blood instantly soaked through her delicate palm.

She could feel the jagged shape of the broken ribs under her skin—it was definitely a fracture.

“Heal!”

In this world, speaking the name of a skill while casting increases its power.

That’s why many warriors shout their skills during battle.

But Luo Li didn’t need to shout. She only had to whisper the name softly.

With her voice, a silver light gently emerged from her body and quickly flowed into Kain’s chest.

Luo Li could clearly feel the silver light wrapping itself around the wound under her control.

And strangely, in that moment—she could actually see the inside of Kain’s chest.

Yes, “see.”

Not with her eyes—but the silver light acted like a third eye, allowing her to clearly visualize what was happening inside his body.

So this is what it means to be a Saintess… Her abilities were far beyond those of an ordinary nun.

It wasn’t even close to the same level.

Luo Li turned her head and shouted toward the three assistants nearby.

“Don’t just stand there! Go bring all the nuns with healing skills, now!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

The trio immediately turned and sprinted toward the temple.

Luo Li then focused back on her special healing technique, continuing to observe the internal condition of Kain’s body.

After scanning him carefully, she finally relaxed a little—though still tense.

His ribs were definitely broken, but somehow—whether by instinct or divine protection—none of the bone fragments had hit his heart. Otherwise, he would’ve died long ago.

The heart was intact, but the rest of the body was in terrible shape.

His right lung and liver had been pierced, and his left lung was crushed by a rib, making it hard for him to breathe.

The blood pooled in his abdominal cavity was caused by severe internal bleeding from the ruptured liver and spleen.

With her objective clear, Luo Li guided the silver light to directly wrap around the damaged right lung, liver, and spleen.

And then—something miraculous happened before her “eyes.”

The broken ribs slowly moved away from the pierced organs, as if pushed by some invisible force.

Then the right lung and liver began regenerating rapidly—within just one second, the bleeding had completely stopped.

Kain let out two soft coughs and opened his eyes in a daze. His gaze was empty and dry, showing just how much blood he had lost.

Back when she healed a heart injury, Luo Li had already felt her healing skill was ridiculously powerful.

But this time—watching it with her own “eyes”—his internal organs had fully regenerated in just a single second!

No one understood better than Luo Li how different this was.

This wasn’t normal healing…

This was like refreshing, restoring, optimizing—a divine-level ability!

Could this be why the title of “Saintess” had fallen to her!?

From the memories of her predecessor, Luo Li recalled that the eight countries of the Holy Church chose their Saintess from their own nations.

In other words, the previous Saintess would select the next one and report it to the Pope of the Holy Church.

Once the Pope approved the candidate, documents would be issued—and that person would become the new Saintess.

But that was just procedure. The true reason was the Divine Oracle.

The previous Saintess would receive a divine message before ascending to heaven, revealing who the next Saintess should be.

So then… does that mean a real God exists in this world?
