Chapter 166. Rescue

『You don’t have to think about capturing the enemies alive.』I told everyone as soon as Jema disappeared.

『Understood.』

『Arti and I will rush in first. Rosetta and Tina will protect the students and prevent the enemy from trying to escape.』

『Got it!』

『Leave it to me.』

Seven assassins and four students were facing each other.

At first, there were probably eight assassins. The corpse of an enemy could be found near the students.

The students were not safe either. Two of them were unable to fight.

One student was bleeding out and not moving. He won’t make it if we don’t make our move soon.

The other student was not in danger of death, but both his legs were bent in a direction that they were not supposed to.

The fact that he hadn’t fainted due to the pain was a miracle.

The students were still alive because it is part of the enemy strategy to create a burden.

The reason why one of the students’ legs was broken was to prevent the students from escaping.

The assassins can kill them at any time, but they were stalling for time without dealing the killing blow.

『Tina, please heal the injured person when you see an opportunity.』

『Yes, I understand.』

And then, I jumped between the assassins and the students.

Even though I appeared suddenly in front of the assassins, they attacked me without being surprised.

Their response was quick and calm.

I defended their attacks and went on to defeat the assassins easily.

As I said to Tina and others earlier, we don’t have to capture them alive.

These guys are at the bottom of the hierarchy. I doubt they would hold any important information.

「Tsk!」

When I defeated three assassins, the rest tried to escape.

Their decision when to withdraw was also accurate.

However, their presence detection technique was not high enough.

They were unaware that Arti was circling around behind them.

「…………」

Two of them were instantly defeated by Arti silently.

Two assassins remained. The two stiffened for a moment when they noticed Arti, and I capitalised on that chance to kill them.

After defeating all the enemies, I called out to Tina.

「Tina, how are things over there?」

「Things are okay. But he can’t move for a while due to losing too much blood. Next, we just have to keep his body temperature stable for a while.」

Tina had finished healing the dying student while Arti and I were defeating the assassins.

Not only healing magic to close the wound, but she also cast detoxification magic.

Rosetta quickly wrapped a waterproof cloth around the student to warm him so that he doesn’t get cold in the rain.

It can be fatal if the student loses body temperature due to the rain.

「Fluffy, can you help out too?」

「Pii!」

Fluffy goes into the waterproof cloth.

The student got wet in the rain before we arrived.

Wet clothes might be fatal as he had already lost a lot of blood and dropped in body temperature.

That’s why Fluffy needs to absorb the moisture from the wet clothes and dry it.

「Pii Pii!」

Shortly after, Fluffy comes out from the inside of the waterproof cloth.

「Thank you, Fluffy.」

The clothes of the dying student were completely dried by Fluffy.

Immediately, Tina delicately controlled her magic to warm up the student. If Tina casts her magic for a while, the dying student will definitely be saved.

「Brilliant work, Tina. Leave the treatment of the other students to me.」

「Yes, thank you.」

I then approached the student whose leg bones were completely broken.

「Are you okay?」

「Yeah, I’m okay. Please save him first.」the student said, looking at the student Tina was warming up.

In addition to the severe pain of having both legs broken, he was totally drenched in the rain.

And Tina and I were talking quietly too.

Our voice was masked by the sound of rain. So it’s natural if he didn’t understand the situation.

「He’s already being treated by Tina.」

「I see. Thank you.」

I then checked the state of the student’s injury.

Both feet were bent in the opposite direction at the knees.

Not only that, the shin bone of his right leg was also broken, sticking out through the flesh.

The main injuries were in those three places. And there were countless small cuts.

「I’m so weak. I’ve been training for so long, yet I was defeated so easily.」

「Don’t lose confidence. Honestly, those guys were pretty strong. Fluffy, please clean the wound.」

「Pii!」

Fluffy cleaned the wound and removed mud and dirt.

I cast detoxification magic at the same time.

「You don’t have to comfort me. You and the others defeated the enemy in an instant.」the student said, groaning.

「It’s not a lie nor comfort. I’m just special. I’m an eight year old who became a direct disciple of the Small Sage with only one deity pillar.」

「Oh, right.」

The student smiled bitterly.

「It is true that they were strong. Even elite knights of the kingdom would struggle if they were not evenly matched in number.」

「I see…」

Even the escort unit of Princess Tina of the Armadi Empire was almost wiped out.

The assassination unit of the Cult is actually strong.

「If they dealt with twice as many assassins, even the elite knights could be wiped out.」I said gently, while I cast detoxification magic.

「Thank you for cleaning the wound, Fluffy.」

「Pii!」

In addition to Fluffy cleaning the wound, I also cast slight magic to clean the wound.

With this, I can finally start healing the wound.
