Healers Shouldn't be this Powerful

Chapter 19: Taking down the Fabled Rhia

"I can get used to this," Gladious spoke with enthusiasm. Now that his strength has returned and with their healer supplying them a constant supply of heal, the pressure they felt lessened.


"Nik, can you try to see if you can gain its attention?" Matilda suddenly gave an unexpected order. To which Niklaus was happy to take on, When he heard her shorten his name, he felt his heart increase in rate.


Blood rushed into his body, his focus turned on the behemoth before him. Unlike others, he had no experience when it came to fighting. But right now what he had was speed, and he was willing to use it to his advantage.


’For something of that size turning should be its biggest weakness, the skin is thick, so hand to hand will be nothing but a waste of energy. But the eyes will forever be the weakness of any living thing’ He got his strategy down.


A pulse of energy got fed into his thighs, he felt a burst of energy concentrated in his legs. Next thing his body turned into a blur. The beast was currently focus on Gracious, His gravity down pull had decreased its movement.


Somehow it knew who was responsible. It opened its mouth and a gush of steam flew out. Wherever the steam torched turned solid like concrete. Unlike normal steam, this one didn’t scatter like weightless smoke.


The attack was a few seconds, the moment it stopped. A thud was heard. It caused the beast’s front legs to give out. When the other checked. They saw one of its eyes closed shut. With mucus-like substance coming out.


Then a loud roar came out, the other eye seemed to be looking for something. Then it saw a figure not far from it. It recognised the outfit. Before its eye got hurt, a blurry feature with such colours came near it.


This realisation sent it into a frenzy state. It has grey body shifting colors. "This is bad, this is bad, it’s about to overload its core" Gracious was panicking. He can feel his gravitational force losing its hold on the beast"


When everyone thought the end was near, a sword light flashed out, perfectly slicing the head of the beast like it was made of butter. "Whaa.." Daxi couldn’t finish her words.


"How did you do that, you were struggling to leave a dent on that thing not long ago" She asked with puzzled eyes. The boys also looked at her with questioning eyes.


"Do your homework. I’ve already sent you this world’s report yesterday,it held all the beast data, including their strengths and weaknesses. Don’t tell me you just placed it aside and came in here" Her questioning, doll like eyes shifted around the group.


To which they looked around as if they couldn’t hear her words. "Fabled Rhia are powerful beasts, they are merely level 7 but they can give level 10 a run for their money. Not because of their strength. But their ridiculously tough bodies


One has to get it to go berserk. There you will see a window of attack as it shifts from a tough dense form, into speed based. For a few seconds. The hard skin softens to allow bone restructuring" She spoke like a teacher lecturing her dumb students.


Their eyes were looking down in shame, knowing this was a test world for the newly awakened, they overlooked the importance of knowledge. "Once we finish this raid I hope to see you take future raids with more careful attention"


Her words reignited the fire in them. They puffed out their chest. Daxi almost laughed when she looked at her fellow squadmates . "Enough fooling around, we are still in the middle of nowhere, Let’s take out the core and leave. Um, Nik, you perhaps need these remains?"


Daxi looked at him with wandering eyes. The way she looked at him had changed from how she looked at him when they first met, a bit of respect could be seen as she asked. "Well then I won’t be polite" Niklaus spoke as he rolled his sleeves back.


Soon the beast’s bodies started glowing, his iris glowed green as well. ’Woh, this is interesting, the structure used to build this tough skin is simply amazing. Looking at this muscle near the bones, it shows the time it was transitioning.


I wonder if I could use this. A body not limited by defence only, but my cells aren’t strong enough yet, and my physique is still low enough to simulate this structure. Well let me try to absorb some and see if I can take in some of that genome’


His hands slid inside the best’s body, The body lost weight at a visible rate. But it stopped as soon as it started.


Constitution +2


Constitution +3


Constitution +1


Then it stopped giving him any more. ’I knew it, My level is still too low and I can’t assimilate with more. Well it doesn’t matter, I already have its genetic makeup. As I grow strong I’ll be able to imitate its body structure.


His body got a bit tougher, a lot tougher for a person at his level. Killing this beast gunnered him 2 level ups. Making him a level three healer.


’So far I have speed and defence. What I need is an offensive skill. Hopefully I come across an animal that has some kind of attack based genes.’ Once the group saw that he was done, they took out the core.


Then sliced the beast up in even pieces and placed it inside their space rings. "Ok, now back to where we were going." Niklaus said as he took the front once more, leading everyone .


Along the way, they came across other beasts, but fortunately these ones were small fries. In a few hours Niklaus’s level had reached 5. Then he checked the pop up.
