"Ray!" Spoke Sirius. Confused over what happened, he could only grab the man before he fell to the ground.
Looking at Ray, Sirius checked him. Seeing if there was any adverse injury or something of that sort. However, with his meager knowledge of anatomy and health. There wasn't much he could do.
Hence, he checked his pulse to see if he was alive. Seeing that his pulse was done, Sirius sighed in relief as he put the man above his shoulder and grabbed the loot in the surroundings.
"He will kill me if I miss something good," He thought as Ray's greedy expression came to his mind.
While Sirius did that, the situation outside calmed.
With the Goblin Queen dead. Her summons disappeared as her magic disintegrated.
With that, the whole team sighed in relief as they all fell to the ground in exhaustion and undid their armor and weapons while also canceling their abilities.
"Finally!" Tim wiped the sweat over his forehead as he looked at the crooked blade stuck in his stomach.
Looking back at the battlefield, he searched for Aliya.
Spotting her at a corner, sitting besides Emma as both women sat on the ground silently.
"Ughhh" Applying some pressure on his wound, he tried to stand as he slowly made his way towards the healer.
However, just as he stood straight up;
"Spurrtt…Splatt…" Blood spurted out as the wound opened even more. The blade went deeper into his flesh and Tim felt an unimaginable amount of pain.
"Arghhhhh!!!" Crying out in pain, he fell to his knees as the pain radiated through his whole body.
"Huh?" Hearing Tim's pained cry, Aliya and Emma turned around. Looking behind, they saw Tim on his knees; as a puddle of blood was created around him.
"Shit!" Alpha cursed out loud. Standing in a hurry, she made a run for Ray.
"Don't worry. You will be fine," Reaching Tim, she said as she started healing the poor guy right away.
Emma also reached him as she crouched on the ground and put her hands around his wound. Touching it lightly, she sensed the area around it to find for any strange particles, poison or anything to be found around his wound.
"Don't heal. You will only speed up his death," Emma spoke as she stopped Aliya and used her aura to isolate Tim's wound.
"What happened," Tim asked. His voice was weak as he tried to search for answers about the strange pain that kept radiating through his whole body.
"Nothing much. We just need to inspect the wound and avoid any sort of sepsis," Emma said in a very soothing and calm voice.
Listening to her, Tim felt relieved as the wound didn't seem much serious. "About the pain?" He asked.
"Don't worry about that. It's because of the blade still within your body. However, you will have to bear with the pain as I can't erase the pain as it is better to know where you are feeling pain," Emma said as she comforted Tim.
Tim merely nodded as he tried to keep a straight face despite the pain he kept on feeling.
"Aliya, come with me," Emma said as she grabbed the healer's hand and took her together.
"What happened?" Aliya asked right away. Considering her strange behavior.
After coming to a good distance away from Tim, Emma's composure finally broke as her poker face disappeared. Tinged with panic, she looked at Aliya and spoke,
"Tim… His condition isn't good. We need to hurry," She said.
"Huh? What do you mean by that? What happened to him? Didn't you say he was fine just now?" Aliya asked back. Her expression also changed as she understood one thing.
She understood that the reason why Emma became so stoic and was so calm previously when she was with Tim was that she didn't want the man to worry.
"He has a strange energy spreading through his body from the wound," Emma finally spilled the beans. Telling Aliya the whole story, she told the healer about the situation Tim was in.
"So you mean that whatever energy was in the blade is now spreading through Tim's body and the energy is so strong that even you- Someone in the Magical Realm- couldn't stop its spread?" Aliya muttered as she finally understood the gravity of the situation.
"Yes. But don't tell anyone. Just try to hurry back to the academy as we don't want anyone panicking," Emma said as she turned around and sensed the area around her.
Sensing where the rest of the teammates were, she raised her hands as small blueish birds appeared. Nodding her head, the birds flew in the air as they made their way to the rest of the team.
"Woah.. What is that ability? Did you unlock it recently?" Aliya wondered in amazement as she asked.
"Yes. These are messenger birds. I can use them to communicate with people within a radius of 5 kilometers and these birds also allow me to communicate over long distances, but that's a very lengthy process," She answered as the birds took her news and spread it to the rest of the team.
Meanwhile,
In another dimension,
The dean grinned, rubbing his hands in excitement; the dean took a step forward and slashed his scythe at the man in front of him.
"Spurttt…" Blood gushed out as an arm flew into the air.
"Arghh" The dark elf groaned lightly as he glared at the dean in anger, "Damn You!" He muttered as he used his remaining hand and controlled the shadows around him and engulfed himself in shadows.
The shadows condensed as the dark elf disappeared. Appearing a few meters away, he looked at the dean in pain. With a scrunched-up face, shadows condensed as they brought his severed arm back to him.
Storing his limb in a spatial pouch, the darkness covered his wound with shadows and closed the bleeding.
"I am retreating for now, but I will see you later on. After all, it won't be long before we set foot on your planet," The dark elf said as a portal opened up behind him.
Taking a step back, the dark elf's body started to disappear as suddenly, a glint shone.
The scythe slashed as it hooked on something.
The dean pulled it back as an ornament was taken just before the dark elf disappeared.
"Bastarddd!!!" The dark elf's hateful scream sounded as the dark elf teleported out of the fake dimension.
"Now that's a good find," The dean muttered as he looked at the crystal in his hands.
"This will help him in the future," he muttered and stored the crystal in his storage.
"As for all this… I guess it's mine to keep," The dean smiled as he rubbed his hands greedily.
Waving his hand, he sucked up all the things in the surroundings and stored them in his spatial storage.
"That's what you call a jackpot," grinning, the dean disappeared as he made his way to the exit.
Exiting the dimension, the dean looked around as he noticed that the number of goblins had greatly decreased whereas the people from the Academy were focusing on finishing out every single one of the remaining goblins while some helped the wounded and the rest collected the loot.
"Guess I should secretly snub some of it too," With a glint in his greedy eyes. The dean twirled his fingers as the important loot around him disappeared into his spatial storage.
As he looted his personnel, he flew into the air and searched for Amanda and Old Man Abraham.
There, he saw both of them standing in a clearing at the very corner of the forest.
Descending, he looked at both of them and nodded.
"Prometheus, your safe!" Amanda cried out loudly as she hugged him tightly.
"Uhmm… Some mercy, please. My wounds would open otherwise," The dean said lightly as he tapped her shoulder and asked her to not hug him this tightly.
"Oh! Sorry," She spoke, standing on her toes; she closed in on the dean as she kissed him.
With that, both lovebirds kissed each other while the rest of the people around them turned their heads around in awkwardness.
Though, only one person stayed as he shamelessly recorded the whole scene.
"Keke… I will use it to torture him later," Old Man Abraham spoke as he had an evil and playful look on his face.
While both of them kissed each other, Sirius jumped out of the huge skeleton knight's body.
With Ray on his shoulder, the wolf followed the blueish bird as he made his way towards the rest of the team.
"What happened to him!" Aella's worried cry sounded right after Sirius approached everyone.
Laying him on the ground, Sirius sighed lightly as he spoke, "I don't know. He just fainted all of a sudden. I checked his pulse and from that, he seems fine. I guess it's exhaustion," Sirius said as he stepped back.
Seeing Sirius step back, Aella rushed in as she placed Ray's head on her lap and turned to Aliya,
"Please check him for me!" She said as tears welled up in her eyes.
