Chapter 509: Volume Eleven: Shrouded in Fog and Smoke - Twenty-One: Grand Ceremony
"Hmm, the Flame Dragon Magic Needle is a hybrid of Fire Magic and Ice Magic. Although the spell’s damage may not have been significant at the time, it could cause considerable complications for the injured. Many people did not realize the danger of their injuries, but by the time the symptoms erupted suddenly, it was already too late to treat them. Eve, your insight is quite remarkable. While you couldn’t heal Burianos’s wound completely, you at least saved his life by suppressing it with your White Magic. Otherwise, after so much time, even if he hadn’t utilized his Inner Qi, his condition should have erupted by now."
Eve both envied and admired Komer’s understanding of Magic Skills. He had managed to heal most of Burianos’s wounds with just the Holy Flame Bathing Spirit technique and could even see that it was her White Magic that had suppressed Burianos’s injuries. This performance was far beyond the level of a common mage. Could it be that he had already reached the realm of the archmage? Eve couldn’t believe it.
An archmage was impossible to find in someone of Komer’s young age. Even if Komer was a Magic genius, it seemed unlikely that he would possess such formidable Magic Power. This wasn’t a matter of Magical knowledge, but the cultivation of Magic Power alone required a long period of uninterrupted accumulation.
"Reese, don’t say that. I’m a Shepherd who hasn’t even reached the level of a Priest, and my healing Magic ability isn’t even half of yours. Aren’t you mocking me by saying this?" Her cheeks slightly blushing, Eve was a bit embarrassed by Komer’s praise.
"Heh, Eve, don’t compare yourself with me. My experiences are beyond comparison to yours. Life is strange; many hardships seem like punishment, yet they can bring unexpected benefits to those who endure. Perhaps this is what they mean by ’you win some, you lose some.’"
Komer shook his head with a semblance of emotion and let out a sigh, then brought the conversation back on topic, "Eve, if there’s a chance, I would like to exchange thoughts with you about healing Magic. I’m not skilled in White Magic, but I have some understanding of the healing techniques in both Light Magic and Dark Magic."
"Dark Magic? You know Dark Magic?" Eve’s beautiful eyes widened in astonishment; she could hardly believe her ears. His Holy Flame Bathing Spirit was clearly the purest form of Light Magic, but now he claimed to have some understanding of Dark Magic. Could it be that the two types of Magic were compatible? This was inconceivable!
"Why? Eve, do you find it surprising? Is there something wrong with me knowing Dark Magic?" Komer glanced at her, asking rhetorically.
