Move Aside, Let Me Heal Him

"Hey, what's King Piccolo doing?" Bulma asked.

"Special Beam Cannon!"

As they were talking, Piccolo suddenly thrust out his hand. A spiraling beam of light shot toward Raditz and Son Goku.

"Pfft..."

The spiraling beam pierced straight through Raditz and Son Goku's hearts without resistance.

The two men traced an arc through the air, then fell to the ground together.

When they looked again, they saw two bloody holes in their chests.

"Ah... You beast!" Raditz raged, unwilling to accept defeat. "I'm so strong, yet you two little punks beat me."

"Hahaha... You deserved it!" Piccolo laughed.

At last, they'd taken that guy down.

Inside the helicopter.

Bulma was stunned.

Krillin was dumbfounded.

Master Roshi's eyes were wide.

For a moment, the three of them couldn't react.

Bulma and the others had clearly seen that Goku's heart seemed to have been pierced.

"Quick! We need to find somewhere to land!" Master Roshi was the first to recover. He hurriedly called out to Bulma.

"No way. Luo Tian really was right. Did they both kill each other?" Krillin wiped away his sweat.

In the distance.

"I can't accept this!" Raditz regretted it deeply.

If I had another chance, I'd take those two out as quickly as possible.

No, to be precise, there were three of them. Especially that brat.

If that brat hadn't crashed into me, I could've broken free even with Kakarot holding me.

"There's nothing you can do about it now. You're about to die anyway." Piccolo smiled faintly.

"Damn it! I never thought Kakarot would be willing to sacrifice his own life." Raditz was a little perplexed.

I wouldn't have minded if you'd killed me.

But throwing your own life away too? That doesn't seem worth it.

"You idiot. Son Goku will be revived soon enough," Piccolo said with a laugh.

"What? How is that possible?" Raditz was astonished.

"There's something on this planet called the Dragon Balls. They can grant any wish," Piccolo said with a faint smile. "Of course, they can also bring the dead back to life."

"Hmph, that's useful information. At least it has some value," Raditz said with a soft laugh. "I've already reported everything that's happened to my two companions in the distant universe. When they find out I've been killed, they'll come avenge me."

Piccolo: "..."

"You two, and everyone else on this planet, will be wiped out in an instant. Then you can use that whatever-it's-called to bring me back to life..." Raditz smiled.

"When... will those two come here?" Son Goku asked weakly.

"One year... One year from now," Raditz replied.

"One year... Two even more powerful Saiyans." Piccolo broke out in a cold sweat.

"Next time, your chances of winning will be zero. You'd better enjoy life while you can, over the next year!" Raditz laughed loudly.

"Brrr..."

As they were talking, the sound of a helicopter engine rang out overhead.

Bulma was flying it over.

"Thud!"

The helicopter landed nearby.

"Goku!" Krillin was the first to run over to Son Goku.

"Cough, cough... Krillin..." Son Goku managed a weak smile.

"Goku, this isn't like you. Come on, pull yourself together!" Krillin shouted.

"Gohan's fine. He just passed out," Bulma told Son Goku.

"Quick! We have to find a way to save him!" Master Roshi hurriedly said. "That's right, Master Korin's Senzu Beans should be able to help Goku recover."

Krillin: "..."

Master Korin?

Hmm, that place was so far away. How could they get there in time?

"No need... Master Roshi, Krillin... I don't think there's enough time." Son Goku smiled and shook his head gently. "But I'm relieved Gohan's okay. That way, Chi-Chi won't scold me."

"Goku... You can't die..." Krillin sobbed.

"Krillin, death really is awful..." Son Goku said with a smile.

Krillin: "..."

"Don't worry, Goku. We'll bring you back to life right away," Krillin hurriedly promised.

"Heh heh, I'm counting on you." Son Goku smiled.

"Move aside," Luo Tian called to Krillin.

"What?" Krillin paused and looked up at Luo Tian.

But when he looked, he saw that a rod had suddenly appeared in Luo Tian's hand.

No, it wasn't a rod. It looked like a Scepter.

There was a blue Crystal Ball at the top of it.

What was that thing?

"I said move. I'm going to heal him." As he spoke, Luo Tian kicked Krillin out of the way.

That guy really had no sense.

"If we wait any longer, I'll have to go find him in the Underworld. What a hassle." Luo Tian sighed. As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of light enveloped the Scepter in his hand.

The light quickly spread over Son Goku.

In an instant, the bloody hole in Son Goku's chest began to close at a visible speed.

"Snap!"

Soon, the hole in Son Goku's chest had healed completely.

Flesh and blood were restored.

Son Goku suddenly opened his eyes, looking bewildered.

Krillin was stunned.

Master Roshi's eyes bulged, and he rubbed them hard.

Bulma looked at Luo Tian, then at Son Goku, utterly bewildered.

"All right, Goku. Get up and take a couple of steps," Luo Tian said with a smile.

Son Goku immediately got up from the ground.

"W-what just happened?" Son Goku felt completely recovered. Not only that, but his strength seemed to have increased considerably.

"Did I... Did I see that right? Goku... You're alive?" Krillin still couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"This is incredible! Luo Tian, can you heal people?" Master Roshi asked in astonishment.

Piccolo was completely stunned.

This man named Luo Tian could actually use healing magic?

"I haven't used it in ages, so I'm a little rusty." Luo Tian smiled, then put away the Scepter in his hand.

Son Goku and the others' eyes widened again.

"Th-that thing in your hand just now... What was it?" Krillin asked, astonished.

"Nothing. Just a tool of the trade. Don't worry about the details," Luo Tian said with a smile.

Krillin: "..."

"What?" Raditz wasn't dead yet. When he saw Son Goku up and about nearby, he was completely dumbfounded.
