Chapter 2: You are actually a priest
The battle had already been going on for a while when Robb arrived at the battle site.
Several arrows have been inserted into the body of the two-legged flying dragon with traces of having been scorched by magic on its body. On the side of the adventurer's team, the shield held by the warrior is already deformed and seems to have been used a lot during the fight. The impacts have caused the shield's surface to become uneven. The warrior's armor's skirt had been torn off, and his thighs were covered with the color red, with his trousers completely dyed red.
The archer isn’t doing any better either, with a deep claw wound on his shoulder.
However, the most miserable among the adventurer's group members should be the red-haired female magician. The back of her clothes has been torn apart, and three deep claw wounds can be seen on her snow-white back skin. The blood-stained her robe and her face. Her face has become pale to the point where it seems like she might fall down at any time. However, she mustn't fall now, or her life will be forfeit, and she'll receive a "Bad End" as soon as she falls! At this point, she can only grit her teeth and try to defeat the two-legged dragon before she falls.
Fighting Hard!
Robb thought, "Should I help them kill the dragon?"
He only needs one move if he makes a move, and the medium-level monster, like the two-legged dragon, is dead. It would be effortless to do such a thing, but it will also be easy to cause disputes.
For instance, back in the game world, when a high-level player sees a group of low-level players trying to defeat monsters. He walks over, casually takes the monster down, and gets the final blow, which will give him all the loot and money. (The game that the protagonist used to play gives everything to the one who gets the last hit, to whom all the monster experiences and drops go)
Such unethical and insensitive behavior!
Those low-level players fought hard but with no return, and the mission wasn't even completed. Of course, they'd get angry. They turned around and yelled at the player who stole the kill, “The monster who stole your mother!” And then they’ll chase and scold each other for an entire hour.
Of course, in the real world, there aren't really any problems in robbing the experience points and monster corpse by last hitting. Such worry is unnecessary, but rashly stealing someone else's prey can easily cause misunderstandings. If the adventurers' guild in this world has any weird rules, who owns the monsters of those who kill?
Robb holds his hands and asks the adventurer party, "You three, can I ask a question? How can I get to the nearest town here?"
The three adventurers had no time to answer his question. The warrior stared at the two-legged flying dragon with a sword and a shield in hand. The female magician was also preparing her magic. Only the archer turned her head his way and said with haste, "I'm busy right now. Stand further and don't get involved."
Robb shrugged and said, "Well, you guys do look very busy. I'll wait for a moment."
"Loki, the God of Flames, please listen to my request…." The female magician endured the pain in her back, chanting a magic spell. But the two-legged dragon has wisdom, and when it heard the mage chanting, it immediately roared and rushed toward the female magician.
The warrior quickly raised his crooked shield and stepped in front of her.
With a loud bang, the warrior was knocked out.
"… Lend me the power of fire temporarily… Fire Explosion!" The female magician finally completed her magic, and a fireball flew out from the tip of her staff and hit the wings of the flying dragon with two feet fiercely." With a bang, the fireball exploded, and a large amount of flame magic power hit the two-legged dragon.
The two-legged dragon uttered a miserable hiss but still didn't fall down. It waved its wing and wept away the female magician. She grunted and flew straight sideways.
She didn't have a shield or armor to protect her body like a warrior. The impact was heavy, and Robb even heard the sound of a broken should and arm.
The female magician slammed and fell right in front of Robb, spouting a mouthful of blood, and couldn’t get up anymore.”
The warrior shouted, "Jike, look at how Xuelu is doing!”
It turns out the archer is called Jike. He shot three arrows in a row and forced the two-legged dragon to fly into the sky. He then jumped towards the female magician. The female magician named Xuelu had her entire arm twisted and deformed. It seemed that it was fractured, and it is clear that she couldn't fight anymore.
He couldn't help crying, "Oh my God! Xuelu is so badly injured that she can't fight anymore. We have to withdraw quickly and find a priest for her to treat her injuries, otherwise, her arm will be gone."
“Damn it! We have to give up the commission.”
"Beware of the dragon…."
When the two of them were talking about this, the two-legged dragon jumped over. The warrior hurried up while the archer hastily released an arrow. There was no time to take care of it. They lost the back-line support of a magician, and the two of them had to somehow deal with it. The two-legged flying dragon is having a harder time and is already thinking about how to withdraw.
At this moment, Robb, who had been watching by the side, squatted down beside Xuelu and told her, “Miss, I never mix in other people’s fights indiscriminately, so to avoid being affected, but you are seriously injured now. I think I should help you take a bite out of basic MMO etiquette. Do you mind?"
“What…what MMO etiquette… what bite?” Xuelu didn’t understand what Robb was talking about.
Robb said, "Well, I plan to use healing techniques on you… is that okay?"
Xuelu nodded hard. "If you can… then… thank you very much."
The corners of her mouth were still dripping with blood, and even speaking became difficult, and she urgently needed medical treatment. However, she was suspicious of what Robb had just said. The man in front of her was wearing a weird commoner outfit. He claimed to have come to the mountains to gather herbs. But looking at it from any perspective, he looked nothing like a priest. “Do you really know healing techniques?”
Everyone knows that healing arts can only be used by the priests loyal to the God of Light, Balder. How can this man in front of her be a priest?
As soon as she thought of this, she saw Robb raise his hand, and a soft and golden light enveloped her. A warm feeling filled her body. It can't be wrong. This is definitely the healing magic of the holy element.
The wound on her body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the deformed arm quickly returned to its original shape. Even the three claw marks on her back disappeared without a trace and returned back to their previous perfect white and tender texture and appearance.
The pain in her body instantly disappeared, and Xuelu sat up on the ground and looked at Robb next to her with a surprised look, “You… can really heal?”
Robb spread his hands. "Just a little bit."
Xuelu exclaimed, “Oh my God! You are a priest. I didn’t notice at all. Ah, sorry, I was so rude. I should first give you my thanks for your help. If you weren’t there, I would’ve died.”
Robb said, "Don't bother talking to me. Look at your two partners. It's embarrassing how they are doing without your support."
