Chapter 332

“Lee Han sir?!”

“Yes? Huh? Did I make some mistake??”

Lee Han looked up and down the collapsed knight in confusion.

He had first treated the deep stab wounds, then given him a potion that enhanced recovery.

It seemed like he had done it in the proper order?

‘What did I miss?’

“No… no. You can use healing magic? Healing magic shouldn’t be used carelessly…”

Mehrid Priest examined the wounds.

Surprisingly, despite being quite deep wounds, they were cleanly healed. To the extent that Mehrid Priest had no need to offer any advice.

‘Good heavens!’

“…I’m sorry! I didn’t know you could do it to this extent.”

“Oh, no. I used it because I was in a hurry, but normally I would…”

Lee Han wasn’t particularly confident in healing magic either.

Unlike other magic, one mistake could worsen the patient’s wounds, so how could he not feel burdened?

Right now he had acted first because he was so rushed…

“Shouldn’t we bring out the people inside?”

“That’s why we need to go in with as many people as possible to bring them out.”

“I know that, but why are you giving orders?”

“Then are you saying you’ll do it?”

“It would be better to go in separately rather than waste time fighting like this.”

“If you guys go in first and make some mistake, those behind will suffer damage, so where do you think you’re going first? If you want to go in separately, come in behind.”

The adventurers murmured noisily.

Since there were said to be many injured people inside, they should bring them out, but they didn’t really trust each other for that.

Most of the monsters that had flown out were said to be annihilated, but a dungeon was still a dungeon.

If they forced their way in with unfamiliar personnel, conflicts could arise and they could suffer great casualties.

“Wait. Aren’t you the one who subjugated the King of Ghouls last time?”

One of the chattering adventurers recognized Lee Han, who was casting healing magic.

Lee Han, who had been about to stop casting healing magic with an excuse, paused at the sudden words.

“No…”

“That’s right! You’re the mage sir! Gu Bon told me a lot about you. He said if it weren’t for you, mage sir, they would have all died in the dungeon!”

“It wasn’t that much…”

“Rather, please lead us, mage sir! That would be better!”

“That’s right!!”

Lee Han was about to ask back why they would entrust something to someone who hadn’t even been registered as an adventurer for half a year.

However, Baishada and Gretse whispered from behind.

“It seems like it would be better to just accept.”

“If you don’t accept, the adventurers won’t unite. The current situation is urgent…”

“…”

Lee Han thought ‘so why me’ but unfortunately there was no time.

Lee Han suppressed a sigh and shouted to the adventurers.

“Listen! I am the one who subjugated the King of Ghouls, a mage of the Wardanaz Family! All of you follow me! I will guide you with the power of great magic!”

“Wo… wooooooooh!”

“As expected of mage sir!!”

“Who is that person?”

“Didn’t you see him using magic earlier?”

“Isn’t he too young?”

“Originally mages control their appearance with magic.”

About 1/3 knew what Lee Han had done and the remaining 2/3 just cheered from the side and thought it must be true since they were calling him a great mage.

He must be a great mage!

‘If he’s a mage… well, he’ll probably do well.’

‘He’s probably better than that bastard.’

The adventurers who had heard Lee Han’s rumors had high expectations, but the rest were still disorderly.

Lee Han knew this too but didn’t pay much attention to it.

‘I’ll just do what I need to do.’

“Eyes. Pierce through the darkness!”

Lee Han suddenly cast dark vision magic on one of the adventurers.

The adventurers were confused by the completely unexpected magic casting.

He couldn’t be planning to do it to everyone here, so what was this about?

However, that confusion soon turned to shock.

“Eyes. Pierce through the darkness. Eyes. Pierce through the darkness…”

“!!!!”

“Cr, crazy!”

No one had expected him to cast enhancement magic on all the adventurers.

The adventurers now somewhat understood why mages were so amazing.

‘This is why they treat mages so well…!’

‘I think I understand why Gu Bon praised him so much.’

“Let’s go! I’ll cast the next spell while moving! Feet, wrinkle the ground!”

Lee Han shouted while moving toward the dungeon entrance.

The adventurers who had been standing dazed shouted as if enchanted.

“Follow mage sir!”

“Protect mage sir!!”

The adventurers who had been scattered in disarray instantly gathered in an orderly fashion and followed Lee Han into the dungeon.

Baishada muttered at the sight.

“This is real magic.”

* * *

“Don’t move! Your wounds will get worse!”

“Rather than staying here continuously, it would be better to escape…”

The injured tried their best to get up somehow.

Staying here would only mean facing more of the dungeon’s original monsters drawn by the smell of blood.

It would be better to escape first…

“Everyone stay still! Light!”

“!!!!”

Lee Han first launched a light orb and stuck it to the ceiling as he entered the huge underground chamber.

There were traces of destruction everywhere, as if the surrounding bedrock had collapsed during teleportation.

The monsters that had flown out were annihilated, but the subjugation team’s condition didn’t look very good. They were all broken and cut, lying on the ground groaning.

‘Damn. I don’t want to use healing magic.’

Lee Han grimaced and gripped his staff.

“Rise up, emotions! Space, be perceived!”

When he cast emotion perception magic and space perception magic simultaneously, the condition of the fallen injured came systematically into his mind.

Lee Han found the injured in poor condition first and ran to them.

‘Please let them be wounds I can treat!’

Fortunately, most of the injured’s wounds came from close combat. If they were broken or cut wounds, Lee Han could somehow manage them.

“Stick together! Heal!”

After finishing first aid, Lee Han urgently shouted.

“Bring potions!”

“Mage sir! Is it okay to give this person a potion?”

“Wait a moment! We need to treat and feed the serious injuries first!”

Wound recovery potions usually worked by enhancing healing power to cure injuries.

It was a safe and reliable method, but when someone had multiple serious wounds, drinking a potion would disperse the healing power and weaken the effect.

The trick in such situations was to first heal the urgent serious wounds with magic, then have them drink the potion. That way, even minor wounds could be recovered.

“How on earth did you do that so quickly…?”

“Injured people should keep their mouths shut!”

Lee Han finished the emergency treatment of the injured person and handed them over to the adventurers. The adventurers hurriedly placed the injured on stretchers and rushed up like the wind.

‘Enhancement magic????’

The fallen knight blinked his eyes.

No matter how he looked at it, those weren’t the movements of ordinary adventurers. They were movements of someone wearing artifacts or under enhancement magic.

‘All of them here…?? What the hell? I’ve never seen these people before??’

At first he thought some famous adventurer party had luckily arrived, but no matter how he looked, their equipment and clothing had no unity whatsoever.

That would mean someone had cast enhancement magic on just random adventurers, but did that make sense?

Unless dozens of bored mages overflowing with mana had come out for a picnic…

“Cough, cough. Wait. Mage sir.”

The knight quickly grabbed Lee Han’s wrist. Lee Han, startled, almost slapped his cheek.

‘If you’re injured, just stay still.’

Blood was currently flowing out, yet seeing the injured person moving didn’t bring pleasant words.

Is this why Professor Alcasis’s personality became nasty??

“What? Let go of my hand.”

“Not me, but the young knights here first… please treat the young knights first. Your mana is…”

The knight, having quite a bit of experience, knew well that mages’ mana was limited.

He spoke up because if he was treated first, the young knights might not be able to receive treatment.

Of course, Lee Han ignored him.

“Stay still. Heal!”

“No… cough.”

“I told you to stay still. Hey! Emergency treatment’s done, so take him up!”

Lee Han sent the knight who kept making unnecessary noise upward. Two adventurers quickly carried the knight and rushed up.

“Dan… danger… if you do this in a dungeon…?”

The knight muttered even while in pain.

He didn’t know which dungeon this was, but you shouldn’t move so defenseless in a dungeon.

If there were monsters hiding in the darkness, it could cause a major accident.

…But the path was strangely too bright.

“????”

The knight looked up at the passage ceiling in confusion.

Brightly burning spheres of light were placed at regular intervals.

“…????”

* * *

Baishada had liked the Wardanaz family boy from the moment he chose the Shadow Patrol instead of the Wasteland Star Catcher, but seeing him now, she couldn’t help but like him even more.

The Wardanaz family boy was single-handedly organizing what had been a chaotic scene with dozens of people scattered about.

He cast enhancement magic on the adventurers to unite their will, made the dungeon passages as bright as broad daylight, then continuously healed the seriously injured below and sent them up.

There were many mages with outstanding talent, but Baishada was certain there was no mage in the Empire who devoted themselves with such full effort.

-Grrrk!

“!”

At the sound from the lower path of the shared space, Baishada and Gretse immediately raised their bows.

Wasn’t this exactly why the two of them had followed along?

So Lee Han could focus solely on healing magic!

“Move, poison!”

Lee Han extracted poison from the poisoned knight’s wound.

Then he shot that poison.

“Be shot!”

-Krererererek!

With a burning sound, the monster rolled on the ground.

Baishada, Gretse, and Nilia looked at Lee Han as if dumbfounded and shouted simultaneously.

“Focus on healing magic!!”

“You can focus on healing magic!!”

“I said focus on healing magic!”

“…”

Lee Han treated one more fallen knight and sent him up.

Gradually seeing much empty space in the shared area, with only injured people with broken bones remaining, Lee Han let out a sigh of relief.

‘Somehow it worked out.’

When he first arrived here, his heart had sunk, but luck had followed him.

If nothing else happened, it seemed they could collect the injured and go up.

“Mage sir! Support has arrived!”

“Support? That’s good.”

Lee Han was delighted at the report from the adventurer who had returned after placing an injured person above.

“Did priests come? Which order’s priests are they?”

“No. Since there are so many injured, it seems difficult to handle with priests from just one or two orders.”

“Then?”

“They called professional healing mages?”

“That’s fortunate. Good.”

Lee Han nodded.

Indeed, summoning standby healing mages all at once was much faster than contacting orders in the city to find available priests.

Usually the healing mages called in such situations moved in groups. When there were many injured, a single mage could never handle it alone.

Now that healing mages had arrived, the aftermath could be considered finished.

Even if Lee Han had made clumsy mistakes, the healing mages would clean up after him.

“Thank you. Mage sir. Sob sob…”

“Last one! All done. Let’s go up!”

After collecting even the last remaining injured person, Lee Han shouted to the people in the shared space.

Everyone burst into applause and cheers, preparing to go up.

“Thank you for your hard work, Mage sir!”

“The knights here saving their lives is truly all thanks to you, Mage sir!”

While everyone was cheering, only Nilia had a deeply thoughtful expression.

Lee Han asked curiously.

“Do you have some worry?”

“Earlier they said they called professional healing mages, right?”

“They did, right?”

“…Doesn’t anything come to mind? Really?”
