Chapter 200: Pause
"Our skills will get rusty," Liss said and then frowned, but then she saw Rain's condition. "Well, not like we have any other choice..."
While the backline of the battle had managed to largely avoid direct harm, the frontlines, including Rain, had endured significant damage. The toll of continuous combat on the body was undeniable, even with the availability of healing magic that could mend wounds and regenerate even lost limbs. Rain couldn't help but recognize the price that came with such intense and prolonged fighting.
Healing magic was indeed a powerful tool capable of restoring the body to its optimal state. However, the frequency and intensity of the battles had taken a toll on his physical well-being. Rain couldn't ignore the strain on his muscles, bones, and stamina, even if those wounds were promptly mended by the healing spells.
As he pondered his skills, Rain's thoughts turned to the healing abilities he possessed. While his physical combat skills had significantly improved, he realized he had room to develop his healing skills further.
In the end, Branden returned three days later alongside Revan. It seemed that they worked well together and without any issues. At that point in time, it would be foolish to get on his bad side... the organization was a force that couldn't be ignored anymore, and with the accomplishments in the war, they would probably be recognized as more than just a mercenary force.
"We are going back, everyone," Branden said. "The soldiers stationed at the border will be able to stay there for weeks, and I received orders that we should return as well. His Majesty orders. In two weeks, we will receive our rewards from the King himself, so make sure to rest plenty until then."
"Woooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!"
Frustration and determination waged a battle within him. Each skill he possessed had its own niche and purpose, none of which seemed to align with the elusive technique that had left such an impression on him. Yet, Rain's resolve burned brightly; he was not one to easily back down from a challenge.
"Anyway, I want to keep that kind of stuff for later since we need to celebrate this victory, but there is still one problem," Branden said. "The final general apparently has a real story with you, right?
She kept sending soldiers to attack us, and she forced them to gather Intel information about you while her minions were fighting... I can tell that she is a crazy woman, so it is better for you to lay low for a while. The whole enemy country knows about you, so they will try to get you in some way or another."
The imminent danger that lay ahead didn't stir apprehension within Rain. He understood that his pursuit could lead him to become a formidable adversary in the eyes of the magic wielders. However, his concern was more fixated on the impact this transformation could have on his family, particularly his younger sisters. Their safety and well-being were paramount in his mind.
Rain recognized the need for his sisters to enjoy a life of relative peace and security. In a world rife with uncertainty and conflict, he wished to shield them from the turmoil that often accompanied the path he was treading. He understood that the choices he made could ripple out and influence the lives of those he cared for deeply.
"That is fine by me," Rain replied, thinking that he would have to train his little sisters once they came to the capital. "I will be busy for a while with some personal matters."
Rain decided to put his priority in his family and in this important period for his sisters since they will be away from their parents for a while.
