Healers Shouldn't be this Powerful

The night has come, the sky blankented by the dark sky with the star shimmering like heavenly jewellery. With it was an accompanying cold breeze that had Niklaus’s tough skin having goosebumps.

The sky appeared lonely, no mood took the sun’s place. Making the entire area pitch black. "It’s time to go but how are we expected to do a night search when the dark is accompanying us" Gladious asked what was in everyone’s minds.

"With the trees of course" Gorath responded confidently as if that was the most obvious thing. His answer had everyone tilting their heads. "Trees?" Niklaus and Gladious said at one.

As thought to answer the question, a faint light started to glow, weak at first but as time passed, the entire area was illuminated by soft lights.

Everywhere was an ocean of lights, a spectrum of colors, a spectacle for the eyes, giving an atmosphere one would have on a particular day at the end of the year.

"This... This is just breathtaking, this.. This is why I chose to visit other worlds, risking my head. A moment of this is worth the crap we went though" Daxi spoke softly, her voice barely audible.

Matilda chose not to hurry them, she allowed herself to be overtaken by the stimulating feeling of experiencing this unique scene playing out before her.

"I wonder what could be the cause of this, do they absorb light only to release it later at night, or is it their magical skill. Self created skill." Niklaus had his hand on his chin.

"Could you turn your head off for a moment idiot, allow yourself to experience for once... gush, for a smart person, you really could be stupid sometimes" Gladious spoke with his palm on his face, shaking his head.

Listening to his friend, Niklaus looked frustrated for a moment, but at the end he reluctantly did as he said. After a while, he felt an excited feeling from watching something he had never seen in his entire life.

"Damn, this shit place really is beautiful" He whispered, his eyes looking at the wonder before him.

Gladious just looked at him with the snickers as he shook his head. After a few minutes of silence, Matilda clapped her hands.

"You’ll enjoy the show better once we take down this Wizard and understand the Sons of Solomon"s objective. Now let’s get moving, She didn’t give them a chance to think. She used her wind power to glide down.

Daxi melted to the floor, then both the boys just jumped down. Along the way Gladious slowed down his fall. Niklaus got caught by Matilda’s wind.

When he saw her using wind power, he was dying to ask her about her class or power, but it felt intrusive, He could only accept reality. The next second, two huge impacts took place not from them.

"That way, let’s go" Gorath said, as soon as he got out of his pit.

They started running. The team followed behind, the run was 4 hours non stop.

Everywhere they passed, the luminous trees bent to the side like a typhoon just passed . Although they had awoken, they still weren’t immune to fatigue. Fortunately, Niklaus ran right in the middle of everyone.

Glowing faint green. Everyone around him had the same hue around them. Their breath was perfectly paced, and their form and performance was still at peak. Soon they saw Gorath and Zumba start to slow down their pace till they slopped.

Then started to crouch down a bit with practiced footsteps. "We are a kilometer away from the cave, the patrol should not be that far from here." Gorath reported

"Say, how bad would you feel if I were to kill one of those patrol men?" Daxi suddenly asked a question out of the blue.

Zumba and Gorath looked at her, no change in their facial expression. "Then they would have fulfilled their duty, and returned to the mother forest" Gorath replied calmly as though death was no different from life.

"Good" She said with a smile, then a throwing knife materialised in her hand. It was matt black without any definable features. "Nice, is that a shadow skill throwing knife?" Niklaus asked with stars in his eyes.

"Nah, I’m still weak for any of that. I just have a rich leader" She said as she winked at Matilda. Then with a flip of her wrist a second one materialised.

Then swiftly with fluid motion threw the knives hard, The team looked where she threw them but despite the light of the plants, they couldn’t see anything.

But moments later, two consecutive thuds were heard, followed by tree branches breaking. "Let’s continue" She said as she continued. Zumba and Gorath were confused and amazed but since they couldn’t make sense of what they just saw. They followed behind.

Along the way they saw the bodies of the two guards, Daxi went and plugged out her knives, used the dead bodies to wipe them.

Just as Gorath was planning to pick up the spears, Matilda held his wrist. " We want to keep your involvement a secret, honor them later, for now honor them in your hearts."

The two looked hesitant, their faces appeared reluctant yet they knew she was right. "Fine" They continue walking. Moments later, Matilda Disappeared in the shadows. Appeared behind a sentry who stood next to a huge gate made of wood. She plunged her blade into his shoulder blade and stabbed his heart. Once she was done, everyone came out of hiding and went to enter the gate.

"From here on out we should expect tighter security" Zumba spoke looking at Daxi. She nodded. And continued right in front of them. Just as she was walking, she sensed something, then suddenly took out a blade and threw it in the air.

A few moments later a bird shaped like a bat, with translucent wings came falling down. "Majda" Gorath rang out in panic.

"They already know that we are here, no more hiding, start running, they will be here soon." Zumba said in a hurry.

In a hut not very far from where they were, a One eyed Hermit, sat in a lotus potion with its eyes closed. "We have friends, Master Gramha, it seems there are some uninvited guests" He spoke, with his mind projected to Wizard Gramha.
