Chapter 403: Goodbye for Now
“Ghh…! Gah…! […!”
As soon as Garm severed the fletching of the arrow embedded in Tsutomu’s leg with a small blade and carefully drew it out to prevent the wound from tearing further, Tsutomu let out a guttural groan. Gritting his teeth through the pain, he immediately cast his most powerful healing Skill and sealed the wound shut.
Injuries sustained outside the Dungeon usually warranted professional treatment, but with [, accessible only to White Mages who had reached level sixty, even a complex fracture could be completely mended on the spot.
Even so, it was not commonly used in medical settings. There simply were not many physicians who had reached that high a level, and even if they had, the skill demanded an immense toll on mental stamina. Most Healers who achieved that rank tended to follow the path of the Explorer, not a clinical one. As a result, most medically trained skill-users made up for what they lacked in raw power with old-fashioned techniques and extensive hands-on experience, earned through healing countless patients on the ground.
“…Let’s go.”
Once the treatment was done in the shadow of an alleyway, Tsutomu turned to the other two. Garm silently rose to his feet. Amy, still pale as a ghost, trailed behind them with sluggish steps, like a mourner following a hearse.
The mood remained funereal as the three made their way to the Guild. Without a word, they headed straight for the bustling reception area.
“Party of three tonight?” asked the bald-headed man behind the counter, who had served as their go-to receptionist for the past two years.
“Yes, please,” Tsutomu replied.
