Chapter 53: Surprise Guests (1)
He made his decision and began chanting.
"Blessed light, mend the wound, restore the flesh!"
Instead of directing the spell at himself, Mikael aimed the healing light at the woman. The moment it touched her, she let out an ear-piercing scream, her tone now filled with pain rather than mockery.
"SHRRIIEEEK!"
Seizing the opportunity, Mikael unleashed another Blade Tempest. The surprise attack struck true, dealing devastating damage. By the time the woman managed to escape the onslaught, she had lost an arm, significantly slowing her movements.
From that point onward, the fight was one-sided. Mikael alternated between casting Minor Heal to exploit her weakness and using Blade Tempest to deal heavy damage.
Finally, the battle came to an end.

Mikael glanced at the notification and sighed, a mix of relief and disappointment. 'That was the boss? All this buildup, the creepy ambiance, and she was that easy to beat? Maybe I'm being harsh—I wouldn't say it was easy, but fighting the three ghouls earlier felt harder. At best, this was the same level.'
He paused, reconsidering. 'Then again, if I didn't know light magic, I wouldn't have been able to exploit her weakness. The fight would've been much tougher without that.'
Shaking his head, he dismissed the thought and approached the boss's remains to check for a core. Unfortunately, she didn't have one.
