Chapter 168
Ding! Answering the host's question: The Basic Healing Card currently in your possession can theoretically heal any damage on your body. However, please note that the Basic Healing Card cannot interrupt continuous damage. For ongoing injuries, each Basic Healing Card can only provide one treatment. If the damage persists after treatment, it will continue to harm the host.
Haruto Saito furrowed his brows, confused by the spirit's explanation. It was too complicated. So, could it heal him or not?
"Spirit, just tell me directly—can the Healing Card cure the damage caused by the Black Armor?" Haruto asked again, his heart racing. "Don't make it so complicated."
"Yes! But the host must remove the Black Armor and stop using it," the spirit replied.
"Oh?" Haruto's eyes lit up.
"As long as you continue wearing the Black Armor, even if the treatment is successful this time, new damage will appear the first time you sleep after the healing process," the spirit explained.
"Understood!" Haruto responded, finally feeling reassured.
"Lord Dark Warrior, I can assure you—there is no one in this world except me who can save you!" Mifune spoke again after Haruto remained silent for a while. "Since you are about to become Hokage-sama's personal disciple, I imagine the Hokage will not abandon you. I believe Konoha is willing to pay for your treatment!"
Mifune had already assumed that Haruto couldn't afford the one hundred million ryō he was demanding. But he still insisted on that price, hoping that Konoha would pay instead.
Originally, Mifune had no intention of revealing the Black Armor's side effects. After all, it involved its ultimate ability, and he preferred not to mention it. Whoever wore the Black Armor, whether they lived or died, was none of his concern—he hadn't planned on using this knowledge to extort money.
However, after learning that the Dark Warrior was actually Haruto Saito, a mere child, and that this child was about to be taken as the Hokage's personal disciple, his thoughts changed.
