Croix Had Almost Forgotten He Could Heal Teammates

Having confirmed that the Ice Princess had come back to life, Dekan looked at Isabel with a cold expression.

He was now quite certain that Ice Princess, though a little mentally challenged.

But she is a rare and wonderful woman.

Dekan would never watch her die.

Whatever grudges they have, they can settle them when they get back.

Isabel, on the other hand, is an irredeemably wicked woman.

However, Dekan enjoys playing games with bad women.

Because of that.

He can shed all moral constraints and torment and manipulate his partner without restraint.

Even Croix couldn't hide her anger at this moment.

He had been putting up with Isabel for a long time.

Actually, Croix almost wanted to help Ice Princess several times just now.

But they have to wait until Isabel uses her trump card, [True Word Blood Pact].

That would be the best time to make a move.

The specific effects and mechanics of this extremely dangerous epic Spell Card are the only uncertain variable for Dekan.

If we rush in recklessly, we might not only fail to save the Ice Princess, but it could also lead to the annihilation of the entire party.

Only by successfully identifying this card can Dekan be absolutely certain of success.

Amidst the firelight, Ice Princess's figure swayed and stood up like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

She struggled to support herself with the Chain Staff, raising her head to look coldly at Isabel.

Even the Ice Princess was unaware of what had happened.

But her body gradually regained its vitality as it burned in the raging flames.

Even the burns on his body were healed.

"Aaaaaah! You two bastards, what a mess you've made!!"

Isabel clutched her head and roared.

The current situation is worse than she ever imagined.

Even though the one who came to her aid was a seventh-tier combat mage, she was not afraid at all.

As long as the dying Ice Princess is enslaved or killed, and the Devil King of Ruin is freed, Isabel will be the victor!

However, if a healer were to be able to cure the Ice Princess, the situation would take a dramatic turn for the better!

Isabel's eyesight, which was temporarily affected by [Solar Fist], has now recovered.

When she saw the light brown-haired young man holding a staff, she understood completely.

This guy is Croix, a sixth-tier mage whom Isabel had seen in intelligence reports.

Although Croix is not very famous.

However, as a student who was close to Dekan, the Resurrection Church had conducted a special investigation into Croix's intelligence.

Croix possesses a Blessing trait that forcibly converts his magical damage into "small" healing, but this comes with a significant side effect.

His cursed nature also resulted in incredibly bad luck, making him a human-shaped Wipeout Engine in the Shadow World, despised by everyone.

Croix students and teachers at the Havenlit Academy unanimously described Croix as the most useless repeat student.

A healer who is [Rank Inflation] and [Extremely Impractical].

There is no threat whatsoever.

This is the intelligence report that Isabel saw, written by Aurora, a senior intelligence agent of the Resurrection Church stationed in the Royal Capital.

If only Isabel had discovered sooner that the guy next to Dekan was that useless mage, Croix.

She would never dodge that harmless fire magic.

Instead, it will block the magic for the Ice Princess!

This prevented her from receiving treatment!

I could even keep Ice Princess under my control! How could I let her regain her freedom!

It's all that damned [Solar Fist]'s fault!

However, since the situation has already come to this...

A cold glint flashed in Isabel's eyes. She decisively ignored Dekan and Croix and charged straight at the Ice Princess.

She is now very clear about what she should do.

We must defeat Ice Princess instantly!

We absolutely must not let her recover.

Once the Devil King of Ruin is freed from his suppression, Isabel will have plenty of opportunities to capture Dekan as a substitute to complete her mission!

Fortunately, Croix is a useless person, Ice Princess still has multiple poisons and curses on her body.

Isabel was certain she could kill the Ice Princess with just one move!

However, Croix remained silent and pulled out two more Spell Card.

Instantly, Ice Princess was surrounded by poisonous mist and cursed, causing her to grit her teeth in agony.

But the Ice Princess understood and did not dodge.

He endured the pain as he withstood Croix's magical attacks.

Just as Isabel's dagger was about to reach the Ice Princess's neck, a terrifying chill suddenly erupted from the Ice Princess's body.

Her eyes seemed to be filled with a cold mist as she stared at Isabel.

The chill felt like a sharp blade slicing through Isabel's skin. She realized something was wrong, but it was too late to stop.

Icicles spread all around, instantly freezing Isabel into an ice sculpture.

Then, a whistling Ice Soul Blade sliced the ice sculpture into pieces.

At the same time, Ice Princess's body swayed violently, and she almost lost her balance.

The Devil King of Ruin let out a deep roar, seemingly trying to take this opportunity to break free from its suppression.

After several rounds of struggle, Ice Princess finally managed to maintain her dominance once again.

Using other magic while suppressing the Devil King of Ruin is clearly too much for Ice Princess.

"Ha... ha... you guys are really something, pushing me to this point."

Isabel was panting, her expression contorted in a grimace.

Her figure appeared in the distance like a ghost.

She couldn't help but feel relieved that she had reacted in the end and handed over her life-saving card.

Ice Princess's current state is definitely not low on health!

That's incredible healing output! It's practically reviving a dead person.

You beastly informant!

You call this "a little"?!

Although Isabel was almost killed by this informant, she also managed to probe him out—

Even if the Ice Princess is revived, she will have little energy left to do anything other than suppress the Devil King of Ruin.

Once Croix is dealt with, Ice Princess will be nothing more than a wooden stake for Isabel to cut down.

Even if Isabel only needs to hold off Croix for enough time, Ice Princess's life will be exhausted by the negative effects of [Starry Sky Lock].

"Just as the intelligence we gathered during the interrogation revealed, you have a lot of life-saving cards. This is really troublesome."

Dekan looked at Isabel with a mocking expression and said.

He then patted Croix on the shoulder.

"Croix, I'm sorry to trouble you to be the healer for a while. I'll handle this wicked woman."

"Uh-huh?"

Croix wanted to say something, but hesitated.

If I remember correctly.

He seems to have originally been a therapist?

It's unclear when it started, but his healing targets have habitually shifted from teammates to opponents.

Upon closer reflection, he actually subconsciously felt that healing the opponent was much more reasonable than healing his teammates?

On the contrary, I feel somewhat unfamiliar with the idea of healing teammates!

This sudden realization made Croix understand that her psychology might have deviated somewhat from that of a normal human being.
