Chapter 596 - 593: Returning from Healing

Soon, the Healers all left the Healing Space and returned to reality.

As soon as they returned, they found Poke and Li Luo with another team of Healers gathered around the Elders' bodies, working on something.

"It worked! It worked!"

The spectating Healers suddenly exclaimed in astonishment.

Xi hurriedly went closer, wanting to see what was happening.

He saw the Elders' bodies lying in rows on the ground. Li Luo stood to the side. With a wave of her hand, the wounds on the Elders' bodies suddenly slid away, like patches being pulled from torn cloth, and were transferred to the ground beside them.

In their place, identical "wounds" appeared on the ground.

After performing this strange act, Li Luo grew dizzy and was about to collapse. Fortunately, Poke, who was standing beside her, immediately healed her, and she instantly became clear-headed again.

"What kind of healing method is this?" Xi asked in surprise.

Why could the wounds be transferred from a body to the ground?

Hearing Xi's question, Li Luo took out a blister pack of pills from her pocket and began to explain.

"Pain Transfer Pills?" The more Xi listened, the more amazed he became. "There's a relic like this? And it can be used in such a way?"

'The user can transfer wounds to other places... It can even transfer someone else's wounds to the ground?'

Xi thought for a long time before he finally wrapped his head around the logic.

Poke also explained from the side. "After we rescued the Elders' bodies, we discovered they had all suffered varying degrees of damage. In the worst cases, only skeletons remained. Li Luo suggested using the relic to help us, both to conserve energy for emergencies and because the chaotic medicines here could cause problems with our healing..."

Hearing this, Xi finally understood why Li Luo was the one performing the healing here, and not the other Healers.

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it," Li Luo replied, yawning.

The drowsiness from the Pain Transfer Pills still left her in a bit of a daze. Although the Healer's treatment had temporarily revived her, the sleepiness was still constantly encroaching on her.

'Looks like I'll have to get a good night's sleep after this is over...'

The wounds on the Elders' bodies were completely transferred. Even the bodies that had been reduced to skeletons were fully restored. In contrast, the ground beside them was now riddled with holes.

"It can even restore them from bare bones?" Xi stared at the perfectly intact bodies, somewhat surprised. While the Healers could also perform such a feat, it would consume an immense amount of energy.

As he was observing the Elders' bodies, Xi noticed one of their fingers twitch.

Immediately after, a faint light began to rise from the bodies' heads.

"The Elders are back..."

Before long, the Elders lying on the ground all sat up, and the Healers beside them quickly helped them to their feet.

The Elders waved their hands dismissively and looked directly at the towering black wall to the side.

They didn't waste time on pleasantries, instead immediately beginning to arrange the work ahead...

"Create templates, collect the black calamity on the islands, guide the chaotic healing energy, rescue the creatures trapped in the labyrinth..."

The Elders methodically assigned the Healers to different tasks. The Healers didn't dawdle, but sprang into action immediately.

Some of the Elders, after regaining a bit of their strength, also joined in the work.

Li Luo watched from the side, marveling at how efficient these Elders were.

However, a few Elders walked directly over to Li Luo to express their gratitude.

"Thank you for your help. Humans will forever be our friends."

These Elders all bowed to Li Luo in unison.

Then, they turned to the Block behind Li Luo and bowed to it as well.

Seeing this, Li Luo paused for a moment. It seemed these Elders already knew about Block.

"Xi already told us about the 'senior.' A relic that can enter the Healing Space... how marvelous..."

Xi?

Li Luo looked toward Xi in the distance. As if noticing her gaze, Xi waved at her.

"Did Xi figure out that the 'senior' is a relic?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"No, Xi still thinks it's a senior... but we're different. We remember every Healer on the islands. Although this 'senior' can enter the Healing Space, we can tell that it is not a Healer."

Hearing this, Li Luo glanced at the Block behind her.

'Indeed, aside from Xi, no normal Healer would think Block is a senior...'

"What did Xi tell you?"

"He said the senior asked him to help make cola, furniture, flower pots, snacks..."

Listening to the Elders, a dark line appeared on Li Luo's face.

"Xi also said the senior taught him a great deal, saved him, guided him to the center of the labyrinth, and has been protecting him all this time..."

Upon hearing this, Li Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn't worried Block would do anything malicious. It was just that the races of the Abyss had countless strange rules, and it was easy to violate a taboo if you weren't careful. She had simply been worried that Block might have broken some Healer taboo and caused a misunderstanding.

But now it seemed the Healers had a very good impression of Block.

"You came here to deal with the beacon, correct?" an Elder asked.

"Yes. If the crisis on the Hua Sheng Islands has been completely resolved, I need to check if the beacon is back in place and see if the signal has returned to normal..."

This was what the staff at the Pipe Fortress had instructed Li Luo to do.

"That may still take some time," the Elders said honestly. "On the other islands, the effects of the black calamity haven't faded yet, and dealing with it will take a while. Also, it will take time to sort out all the diffused medicines across the islands. The signal probably won't return to normal that quickly."

"That's fine. I'll stay on the Hua Sheng Islands for a while, until the signal is fully restored."

"That works."

The Elders told Li Luo to follow them for now. After they cleared away the nearby black calamity, they would take her to where the beacon was located. Li Luo readily agreed.

「...」

Now that they understood the characteristics of the black calamity, the Healers began to clear it away at an ever-increasing pace.

As more and more Healers were rescued, they too joined the effort.

After some more time had passed, some Healers were even able to control the black calamity. Using pre-set templates, they compressed the black calamity that formed the labyrinth into a kind of black, floating disc. These discs were very dense and would automatically attract any black calamity within a certain range, like a scaled-up robot vacuum.

Soon, the sky was filled with these flying discs. The huge labyrinth walls were absorbed by the discs, flying up into the sky to coalesce into new ones.

And just like that, this terrifying "black calamity," under the Healers' control, became a set of obedient tools.
