Chapter 26 Goddess's blessing

The ceiling caved in entirely, giving the slime king the rest finishing it off, killing it in the process. 

Ray used light heal to stop the acid, but he wasn't sure he would survive as one of the stones from the ceiling fell onto his legs, pulverizing them, so he was stuck there.

Ray felt his consciousness slipping gradually, his eyes closing, but he struggled to keep them open. 

He tried removing the stone on top of his legs to try and heal them, but the roof piece was too heavy for him to push with his current strength.

"Finally, the end," Ray mumbled as he raised his hands to the ceiling.

Ray felt something cold on his legs, so he turned his head sideways and found his pet struggling to remove the stone from his legs.

*Crack*

A cracking sound rang out as the other part of the ceiling shifted, threatening to crash down, killing him and his pet in the process.

"I want to live," Ray shouted at the top of his lungs.

Ray used his hands to support himself and sat up. The other part of the ceiling was going to crash any minute now.

Using his strength, even though he had non, he tried to push the stone away from his legs, and his pet joined him in the fruitless endeavor.

"It can't end like this, no," Ray mumbled as he tried his best.

"I can't die like this," Ray kept reassuring himself.

"I haven't even touched a girl. I haven't even made a single friend. Why do I get to live this kind of life" Ray shouted as tears began to flow from his eyes.

Sand from the ceiling was pouring down and would fall any second now.

"Ha~" Ray shouted at the top of his lung as he finally succeeded in removing the stone from his legs.

His legs were almost entirely crushed, and he wasn't sure he would ever walk again. Tears dripped down his eyes as he dragged himself towards the magic circle. He couldn't find any other way out of this dungeon.

He got to the magic circle, and nothing happened. Ray looked at the wound on his stomach. Even if he survived, he wouldn't last a day without high-quality healing for his injuries.

He was a beast, so there was no way a human would heal him. Thinking about this, Ray lost all hope and held his pet in the magic circle, waiting for the rubble to fall and crush him.

[Mana manipulation] he didn't know why his brain went to that word, but when he looked at the magic circle, he decided to try using mana.

"I don't know how this works. But I don't have anything to lose, so I should just try it," Ray muttered.

He placed his hands on the magic circle and closed his eyes. He soon felt the mana in his body gathering in his hands.

He transferred it into the magic circle. As soon as he did, a white light shone through the room, just as the ceiling started falling from the other end, causing Ray to lose focus, making disperse the light.

"No, no, no, focus," Ray shouted as he placed his hands on the circle again, and this time when the light dispersed, Ray and his pet went along with it.

Appearing in a forest, he opened his eyes and saw that he had succeeded in getting out of the dungeon. Still, he couldn't walk, and his health declined every minute.

His breath was getting raged as he struggled to breathe. He knew the wound on his stomach wouldn't let him live.

The wind blew, leaves rustled, and the leaves around him caught fire as a cool sensation filled Ray's body, and he saw a white light shining all around him. Ray knew he was close to death as he started imagining things.

"Is this really the chosen one?" a hoarse voice asked with evident disdain.

"Yes, the grand master has appointed him to be the savior of this world," a sweet voice replied.

"What did the grand master see in this weak, pathetic beast?" another voice spoke.

Ray looked at them. There were five in total, each shining bright enough to blind a person.

"He looks like he is clinging to the little life he has left," another sweet voice remarked.

"We should save him." 

"No, gods are not supposed to be concerned with the affairs of the human world," the hoarse voice spoke.

"I will give him my blessing," the sweet voice declared, disregarding the hoarse voice.

"What!!" all the others were shocked by her words.

"You really believe this is the chosen one."

"Yes," she said as she stretched her hands and touched Ray's face.

He felt the smoothest sensation he ever felt on his cheeks.

"I give you my blessing," she whispered in his ears, and Ray passed out immediately.

"Who else will give their blessing," she asked the others.

"Till I acknowledged that he is worthy, I won't bless him," the hoarse voice spoke before he vanished. The others followed him.

"Save the world, chosen one," she said as she looked at Ray. She also disappeared.

A while later, Ray woke up, standing up straight. He stretched his body and looked at his pet, napping happily on the grass.

"What" Ray shouted as he looked at his legs, and they were perfectly fine.

"What happened?" Ray looked around, trying to remember what had occurred before he passed out.

"I saw a white light shining. I thought that was a dream," he remembered, confused.

"Blessing" he shouted as he remembered the smooth sensation he felt.

"System, what happened," Ray asked eagerly.

The Goddess of healing gave you her blessing.

The system replied to a surprised Ray. 

"Goddess of healing," he mumbled.

"What does the blessing do," Ray asked again.

Blessing from Goddess of healing

HP +50

[Strong healing]

[Lesser regeneration]

"Woah," Ray marveled at what he saw, but he also heard other voices speaking. He wondered if they were also gods.
