A Doctor's Kindness Touches an Immortal's Heart

One week later.

Ars' body had completely recovered.

"This is probably the worst experience so far."

After 100 years of hell-like training, he had an extremely high pain tolerance. However, mutilating his body into many pieces reminded him of the pain he had forgotten.

"Rin, there's something I need to take care of, my training is temporarily postponed."

Before leaving, Ars shouted at Rin, who was standing motionless on the hill, and she gave no response.

"Then I'm leaving."

Already used to Rin's indifferent attitude, Ars left the deserted island.

On top of the hill, Rin saw Ars' figure crossing the surface of the sea, and his figure was no longer visible.

"It visits human settlements so frequently, I don't understand what draws it to humans."

...

In just a few minutes, Ars arrived in Mathias City.

Walking on the street, he didn't find the lively atmosphere like before.

The streets are very quiet without pedestrians, and the steam cars that used to fill the main roads are now nowhere to be seen.

"This is no different from a ghost city."

Ars could feel the gazes of people peeking behind the windows of the house.

Ever since the Night Fever epidemic hit the whole world, every foreigner who visited a new place would be wary of the public, for fear that that person might carry the virus.

And sure enough, not long after Ars arrived, several people wearing thick clothes and masks shaped like bird beaks came running over to him.

"Mister, why aren't you wearing a mask? It's dangerous for you and the people around you."

One of the people in the group came forward and warned loudly.

"Who are you?"

Ars wasn't angry because of the other party's reminder, even though he was no longer human, that didn't mean he was hostile to them. As long as humans were friendly and kind to him, he would also treat them with courtesy.

"I am Arnold's doctor. I'm in charge of treating people who have Night Fever, but I can't cure anyone, I failed as a doctor."

Richard regretted his helplessness in the face of the plague.

"Oh, what a coincidence I was looking for a doctor, unexpectedly found one just a few minutes walk away. Luck isn't that bad."

"Do you have Night Fever?"

Hearing that the other party was coming to find a doctor, Richard and his party took a few steps back, they were worried that they might get infected.

"No, I'm looking for a doctor because I want to buy a scale."

"Hah?"

Richard thought he was hallucinating from exhaustion.

A young man walking around without wearing a mask just to buy a scale from the doctor?

What the hell!

"Quickly wear this mask before you get infected with Night Fever."

Richard took a mask shaped like a bird's beak, which was under one of the nurses, and gave it to the young man in front of him.

"No, thank you. That's not needed, I need a scale more, do you have one?"

Ars pushed the mask away and asked.

"Don't joke around in a precarious situation like this, hurry up and use this before it's too late!"

Richard kept forcing him to wear a mask, he didn't want the healthy young man in front of him to be infected with Night Fever just for some ridiculous reason.

"You're a good doctor, I like your attitude. In return for your kindness, I will grant you one wish."

Ars did not resent Richard's stubbornness.

"Nonsense! You think you are a god!" Richard said angrily.

"Hmmm... You're not completely wrong, ancient humans regarded Idaten as a god."

"Crazy, there must be something wrong with your head." Richard thought Ars was crazy, then said irritably: "If you are really a god, heal all the Night Fever patients in this city, I can no longer bear to see their suffering expressions knowing death will definitely come at night."

"Doctor..."

The people behind him feel the same way as him, many health workers die while treating Night Fever patients, and who knows when it will be their turn.

"Are you sure you want to use your wish to save others?" Ars asked to confirm.

"If you can do it, I will believe you really are a god."

For some reason Richard said this to a young man whose name is unknown, maybe he was just venting his frustration for failing to save a patient.

"Alright, out of respect for selflessly caring for others, I will grant your wish."

"Watch the miracle that is about to happen."

Ars' actions and words only convinced Richard and his entourage that he was a madman.

Ars doesn't care about the looks of doubt, insults, cynicism, scorn, and other negative emotions from the people around him.

Do humans care about being stared at by ants?

In his hand appeared a white magic circle that exuded a holy aura, which made people want to kneel down.

"[Cure Poison]."

Ars shot a light from his hand into the air.

Light flew over the city, then exploded like fireworks and became a shower of light, which enveloped the entire Mathias City.

"This..."

Behind the mask, Richard's eyes widened at a sight that science couldn't explain.

"Well, that's done. I have purified the poison throughout Mathias City, you can take off your mask, everything should be fine."

The magic Ars used just now was Holy Magic, normally used by Arch-Priests in the world [Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!].

Red Prison Academy not only had destructive magic, but there were many other kinds of magic, and Holy Magic was one of them.

According to him, viruses work like poisons, both of which damage the body. When the new Night Fever epidemic spread in several countries, Ars had done some trials, he used various Holy Magic spells, and found [Cure Poison] to be very effective at killing viruses and bacteria, apart from detoxifying poison.

"This must be a trick, there's no way you can do that."

Richard couldn't believe it, and he was sure the young man in front of him was playing a trick.

"Doctor Richard!"

Suddenly a young man with glasses came running while holding a mask in his hand.

"Abel, why are you taking off your mask!"

Seeing his student come to him without wearing a mask, Richard became worried, and scolded him.

Abel was his student and successor, if he died while dealing with the Night Fever epidemic, Richard had prepared a replacement.

Arriving in front of his teacher, Abel breathed heavily after running from the hospital here, taking a few breaths, he said excitedly.

"Doctor, we don't need to wear masks anymore. All the patients in the hospital who were infected with Night Fever suddenly recovered after the light just now!"

"What!"

Richard and his entourage were stunned to learn of this news.

This is too unbelievable.

"Is that all true, Abel? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Holding his student's shoulder, Richard confirmed the truth of the news.

"I dare not make jokes about this, everything I said is true, the god has sent down a miracle in Mathias City!"

Abel spoke as he cried.

They weren't tears of sadness as usual, but tears of joy!

Watching people die one by one before his eyes, and he could only watch. As a doctor, his conscience hurts a lot.

Then, Richard turned around and saw the principal miracle worker still standing in front of him, without hesitation he knelt down.

Not only he, but the nurses accompanying him on patrol also did the same.

"Uh, what are you guys doing?" Abel was confused by everyone's actions.

Removing the mask from his face, Richard revealed the appearance of a middle-aged man in his 40s.

"My God, thanks to your grace, everyone in Mathias City has been saved."

"Thank you, God!" the nurses shouted in unison.

"En, wake up. I did it not for the sake of saving humanity, but I was touched by your kindness to me. And don't call me god, I'm not as omniscient and omnipotent as you all think."

Ars never thought of himself as a god. In his opinion, the Idaten were just a unique race that existed in this world, not true gods.

After everyone stood up, he reminded everyone of his purpose in coming here.

"Does your hospital have scales?"

"Yes, there are many scales in the hospital's warehouse, please take how much you want." Richard said respectfully.

"Lead the way."

"Please follow me."

Ars followed Richard and his party to the hospital.

Along the way, they encountered many people on the way. They were people who had previously been infected with Night Fever and could only wait for death to come.

After recovering, they couldn't wait to go home and meet their loved ones.

Ars' casual action had brought back the lively atmosphere of Mathias City to how it used to be.
