33 Defeated and Healed

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE – DEFEATED AND HEALED

He thought as he snapped himself and look once more. He didn't see it wrong as he saw it's a tree branch.

'Are you telling me that this mysterious black-hooded woman used a tree branch as a sword?! You've got to be kidding me!'

He thought as he thinks that it's impossible to use that kind of thing as a substitute for a weapon.

He shook off his head as he snapped his thoughts when he felt the presence of people is coming to his place.

He heard footsteps coming at his way and he looked upon those people when the knights went up to his place and looked for injuries if he had one.

"Young Master!"

His panic-stricken personal servant runs at his direction and immediately looked all over him to see if he have sustain injuries, much to his annoyance.

"Get off! I'm all right!"

He said annoyingly and the personal servant stopped being hysterical and behave himself.

The young boy looked at the front to see where that mysterious black-hooded woman and he saw she was still fighting against the chimera dragon.

"Young Master, who is that?"

One knight asked him as he pointed his fingers in a certain direction and the young lad knew what he was asking and he only shook off his head.

"I don't know. She appeared the moment that the chimera dragon launched an attack and she blocks it as she proceeds into the fight,"

The young lad explains, and they only looked in the direction where the battle takes place.

*BOOM!

*SHIING!

*SHIING!

"W-what! *cough!* *cough!*… k-kind of immense power is that?!"

"F-feels like… *cough!* *cough!*… t-two monsters are fighting with each other!"

"D-don't tell me… *cough!*… i-it came… *cough!*… f-from that mysterious black hooded woman that Young Master stated earlier?!"

"W-who… *cough!* *cough!*… I-is she?!"

Specks of dust are all over the place as the battle continues, and they felt the immense aura coming from both sides as the mysterious black-hooded woman and the chimera dragon are clashing with each other.

"How are the others? Any injured?"

The young lad asked one of his knights and one of them responded; "Young Master, most of the servants and other knights sustain injuries because of the sudden attack, and our healers are trying their best to heal them,"

He sighed when he heard the explanation about the whole situation that they were in.

'We only have two healers, and their abilities are only limited. What should we do now? I never expected that this situation would happen to us,'

He thought as he felt frustrated, and he couldn't think of anything. He felt useless at this moment.

"Young Master, look over there! She has taken the chimera dragon down!"

He snapped his own thoughts as he heard one of his knights exclaim and he immediately looked in the direction where the battle was taking place.

There, he saw the S-rank beast known as the Chimera Dragon… slayed by the mysterious black-hooded woman.

'H-how?!... T-that's an S-rank beast, for crying out loud!'

He thought as he couldn't believe in his eyes that this mysterious black-hooded woman had slayed an S-rank beast.

'T-that's…'

'That mysterious woman has slayed it'

'That's an S-rank beast! B-but… how…'

The knights and the others had gossips around as they couldn't believe it as well. Slaying an S-rank beast would bring honor to those who killed it.

To think a single person could slay such a powerful beast!

He had a mixed feeling about this, but he set aside those thoughts first as he composed himself and stood on the ground from where he was.

He dusts off himself as he approaches the black-hooded woman. The knights and his servant followed him from behind as they make their way to where she stands right now.

When they have reached where she is, her black hooded cloak accidentally falls off because of the wind that came across them and even though it's dark but the moon gives out the light for them.

All of them gasped upon recognizing her features.

While the Young Master seems confuse on why his people gaped upon looking at the crimson-haired woman.

Since her hood had fallen off because of the wind and he could see the mysterious woman's feature.

"What's wrong? Have you guys seen a ghost?"

He asked in a puzzled looked and his panic-stricken personal servant looked back at him with wide eyes.

"Y-young Master! Y-you, don't recognize her?!"

The servant stuttered as he looked at his Young Master as if the young lad was born yesterday.

"Injured. Tell me"

It startled them when they heard the woman speak in an icy voice and the young lad seems to have misunderstood her words as he speaks.

"Lady, this Young Master is thanking you for saving its life however the way you speak to me was rude, considering that you seem like a commoner"

After he said that, the surrounding people gasped upon hearing their Young Master speak like that.

'Does the Young Master didn't know who this person is?!'

Most of them shared the same thought as they looked at one another and didn't voice out their opinions as they were eager for what will happen next.

The woman, however, paid no attention to his words as she raised her hand and all of them, except the young lad, scared because it seems like their Young Master provoked someone that he shouldn't have!

They saw a bright golden magic circle appeared at the woman's hand and the light scattered around them as they closed their eyes because of the sudden brightness.

After that, the injured people felt something warm and all of their wounds had healed.

Even the ones who had severed wounds had completely healed, and those who had magic affinities had their mana restored in full capacity.

Not longer than that, the bright light had disappeared, as well as the mysterious woman who had helped them and also, who seems like healing them.

When it's over, the young lad looked around to scan the mysterious crimson-haired woman, but to his dismay, he didn't see her.

He looked back at his personal servant as he speaks; "Who is she? It seems like you know her?"

He asked, and his personal servant gulped at him while looking at him.

"Ahem…-she… Y-young Master… Y-you, don't know her? R-really?"
