Chapter 73

In the hospital ward, 3 patients were lying down.

Most of their bodies had turned black and rotted away, with rock-hard horns protruding from them – their condition looked serious at first glance.

“How long have they been like this?”

“It’s been a little over a week. The Masu Transformation has been progressing since then.”

That meant once Masu Transformation progressed for over a week, the condition became uncontrollably severe.

The progression speed of Masu Transformation was faster than I thought.

I looked around at the patients and approached the one who seemed to be in the most serious condition.

“Ah, ugh…”

He was breathing intermittently with his lips parted, as if even groaning was difficult.

Most of his body parts except his mouth were covered with hard horns.

Even where his eyes should have been, hard horns had sprouted.

I couldn’t even fathom how much pain he must have endured to reach this state.

“I’ll try purifying first.”

When I grabbed the patient’s hand, the nurse and Jacques looked at me with desperate expressions.

I hoped I could heal these people.

With that wish, I drew up my magical power. I could feel the magical power flowing through my body beginning to gather at my fingertips.

Please work…

I looked down at the patient with earnest feelings.

I could see golden light rising from my fingertips and seeping into the patient’s body.

But this amount seemed insufficient.

The golden light quickly extinguished. After pondering, I drew up more magical power.

It was incomparably more powerful magical power than when I purified beast-type magical creatures.

Then a golden magic circle spread beneath my feet.

I closed my eyes and concentrated on manipulating my magical power.

As I operated my magical power with the thought of flowing it into the patient’s body, I could feel warm energy gradually spreading.

Soon after, I felt magical power draining out in chunks.

Perhaps because I had suddenly overexerted myself, a shallow cough burst out.

Is the healing going well?

When I quietly opened my eyes and examined the patient, I could see the horns that had sprouted all over his body scattering as golden particles of light.

“He, he’s being healed…!”

The nurse shouted in amazement. But he wasn’t completely healed yet.

I drew up more magical power in the hand holding the patient, and each time I could feel magical power flowing steadily into the patient.

The horns that had sprouted on the patient’s body began disappearing rapidly.

After a while, the patient’s face began to show, and his hands also regained their original appearance.

When the last horn that had sprouted on his head disappeared, the patient was perfectly healed.

Only then did I remove my hand.

“Ugh…”

The patient, who had kept his eyes closed, belatedly opened them.

Then, seeing his own body that had become normal, he blinked with an expression of disbelief.

“How, how did this happen…”

“Beatrice has healed you.”

Jacques stepped forward to explain. Then the patient’s eyes immediately turned to me standing beside the bed.

“Be, Beatrice? Are you really Beatrice?”

I awkwardly nodded. Then the patient’s face was colored with joy.

“Ahh…!”

The patient immediately staggered down from the bed and bowed toward me.

“I greet Beatrice!”

The people who had been watching all this through the window of the hospital ward from outside also bowed their heads to me with faces full of joy.

I smiled awkwardly and looked around at the remaining patients.

“Are these all the most serious patients?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The nurse answered with a face full of emotion.

Since I still had magical power left, I decided to heal the remaining two people as well.

“I’ll treat the remaining people right away.”

“Beatrice, you don’t need to overexert yourself…”

“Once Masu Transformation is complete, they might not be able to return to normal. I need to treat them before that happens.”

At my words, Jacques made a moved expression and then bowed his head to me.

“Then I’ll ask you to do so, Beatrice.”

I immediately approached the remaining patients.

I approached the patient who looked slightly more serious among them and poured magical power into him just as I had done before.

Perhaps because it was the second healing, dizziness rushed over me instantly.

My body staggered, but I concentrated all my mind on healing the patient.

Then the skin that had been rotting black began to be restored to its original state.

I barely squeezed out the magical power that had hit rock bottom and immediately healed the third patient as well.

After healing all 3 patients in the hospital ward like that, I sat down exhausted.

“Beatrice, are you alright?”

“Yes, I’m fine…”

“Let’s stop here for today.”

I nodded and followed Jacques out of the hospital.

Even as I left the hospital, gazes of awe and admiration followed me.

“I’ll come again tomorrow.”

At my words, people bowed with faces full of joy.

They must be happy because they have hope that they can be cured.

Their desperate feelings touched me deeply.

I followed Jacques out of the hospital and got into the carriage.

“Really, really thank you. Beatrice.”

Jacques looked at me with a face that seemed about to burst into tears.

“If Beatrice hadn’t come, we would have had to live wrapped in anxiety, not knowing when our loved ones might transform into magical beasts.”

If he had told me earlier, I would have reconsidered going to the Holy Kingdom.

Why did he try to kidnap me without explanation? That just made me more reluctant to come.

But I could understand Jacques’s situation to some extent.

In a place with the Magic Tower and Empire in competition, it wouldn’t have been easy to bring up the story of Holy Kingdom people dying.

“I’m glad I could be of help.”

I smiled faintly, and Jacques, perhaps moved by this, shed tears.

As I’d thought before, he was someone who cried a lot.

I comforted Jacques like that as we headed to the palace, and when we arrived at the palace, Jacques guided me to my room and then disappeared.

The maids were still staying by my side.

The maids seemed to have heard that I had treated people, as they looked at me with sparkling, burdensome eyes.

Finding those gazes burdensome, I asked if they could let me be alone for a while, and the maids said they would wait in front of the door and disappeared.

Left alone, I lay down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling painted with sacred murals.

I really did come to the Holy Kingdom.

After looking up at the murals for a while, I fell asleep.

Perhaps because I had used too much magical power, I was tired.

The next day as well, I visited the hospital and treated patients in order of those in the most serious condition.

People called my healing acts Beatrice’s miracles and worshipped me.

As I healed many people undergoing Masu Transformation, I suddenly became curious.

Why did human Masu Transformation begin progressing in the Holy Kingdom?

It was a phenomenon I hadn’t seen in the Empire either. Why specifically the Holy Kingdom?

The Holy Kingdom was much smaller in size than the Empire, but it was a country with no less authority and military power.

Moreover, as the history of holy magic had continued from very ancient times, the Holy Kingdom’s history was also long, and their military forces were solid as well.

If the Black Mage had deliberately spread Masu Transformation throughout the Holy Kingdom….

It might have been a preemptive move to eliminate the military forces that the Holy Kingdom possessed.

Because when Black Mages make their move, the Holy Kingdom would unconditionally stand at the forefront and strongly oppose them.

Thinking about it that way, everything fell into place.

Or….

They might be drawing attention with the strange phenomena occurring in the Holy Kingdom while plotting other schemes behind the scenes.

If that were the case, the Empire wouldn’t be completely safe either.

Beast-type masus had already appeared in the Empire as well.

So I had to quickly heal the patients and cross over to the Empire.

Because I had to protect the people precious to me.

At that moment, Kaisis’s face suddenly flashed through my mind.

If the Empire wasn’t safe, he who was in the Northern Empire could also be in danger.

The thought that I needed to quickly return to the Empire grew even stronger.

I poured all my magical power into treating the patients.

Had about three days passed like that?

I had succeeded in treating most of the people.

Now only about five or six patients remained. It was when I was treating the last remaining people.

Suddenly, a system window appeared with a beeping warning sound.

[Emergency Mission Occurred! Evil Dragon Kaisis is being attacked by a Black Mage!

Immediately move to Helten Forest and help Evil Dragon Kaisis!]
