Chapter 120: Croix Almost Forgot He Could Heal Teammates
With confirmation that the Ice Princess had revived, Dekan looked at Isabel with a cold expression.
He was now sure that, despite the Ice Princess having a bit of a muddled brain, she was an exceptionally rare good woman.
Dekan would not let her die. Whatever grievances existed between them could be settled later.
Meanwhile, that Isabel was an irredeemable bad woman.
But Dekan liked playing games with bad women.
Because in doing so, he could cast off all moral restraints to torment and play with the other party without limitations.
Even Croix couldn't conceal his angry expression at this point. He had endured Isabel for a long time.
In fact, there were several occasions when Croix couldn't help but want to intervene to help Ice Princess.
But they had to wait until Isabel played her trump card, the "Blood Pact Incantation."
It was the only variable that Dekan was uncertain about; he wanted to know the effect and mechanism of this extremely dangerous epic spell card.
If they rushed in, not only would they not be able to save the Ice Princess, but it might also lead to a complete wipeout.
Only by successfully identifying this card could Dekan be fully confident.
In the midst of the flames, Ice Princess's figure swayed like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.
She struggled to support herself with the chained staff, lifted her head, and coldly looked at Isabel.
Although Ice Princess didn't know what had happened, her body gradually regained vitality under the scorching fire, and even the burns on her body were healed.
"Aaahhhhh! You two bastards have done a great job!!" Isabel screamed in rage, holding her head.
The current situation had exceeded her imagination.
Even if a tier 7 combat mage had come to help just now, she wouldn't have been afraid.
As long as she enslaved or killed the dying Ice Princess and allowed the Destruction Demon Lord to break free, Isabel would secure victory!
But if there was a healer who could heal Ice Princess, the situation would drastically turn for the worse!
Now that Isabel's temporarily affected vision by the "Solar Flare" had finally recovered and she was able to clearly see the young man with the light brown hair holding the staff. Seeing him, she understood everything.
This guy was the tier 6 mage Croix. She had seen him in intelligence reports.
Although Croix was not very famous, since he was a student who was close to Dekan, the Resurgence Church had specially investigated Croix's information.
Croix possessed a blessing that forcibly converted some of his magical damage into "a bit" of healing. However, his healing was accompanied by enormous side effects.
He was also cursed and had enormously bad luck. Because of that, he became a humanoid mass destruction engine in the Shadow Worlds and was despised by everyone.
The students and teachers at Hevenlit Academy all uniformly evaluated Croix as one of the most useless repeating students.
As a healer, he was deemed "High Tier For Show" and "Extremely Impractical."
His overall evaluation was "No Threat Whatsoever."
That was the intelligence report written by Ourola, the senior intelligence officer of the Resurgence Church stationed in the capital, as seen by Isabel.
If Isabel had discovered that the guy with Dekan was this useless mage Croix a bit earlier, she wouldn't have dodged that harmless fire magic.
Instead, she would have blocked the magic for Ice Princess, preventing her from receiving healing!
She could have even continued to subdue the Ice Princess herself, ensuring she wouldn't regain her freedom!
Damn this "Solar Flare!"
But since the situation had already come to this...
A glint of coldness flashed in Isabel's eyes as she decisively ignored Dekan and Croix, charging straight towards the Ice Princess.
Now, she was very certain about what she needed to do. She had to take down the Ice Princess!
She couldn't let her recover.
As long as she released the suppression on the Destruction Demon Lord, Isabel had plenty of opportunities to capture Dekan as a substitute!
Fortunately, Croix was a useless guy, and the Ice Princess was still afflicted with multiple poisons and curses.
Isabel was confident that she could kill the Ice Princess with just one move!
However, Croix remained silent, pulling out two spell cards. Instantly, Ice Princess was surrounded by poisonous mist and curses at the same time, causing her to gnash her teeth in bitter pain.
But the Ice Princess understood without a word.
She endured the pain and suffered through Croix's magical attacks.
Just as Isabel's dagger was about to reach Ice Princess's neck, a terrifying chill erupted unexpectedly from the Ice Princess's body.
Her eyes seemed to emit a cold mist, locking onto Isabel.
The coldness felt like a blade cutting across Isabel's skin. She realized something was wrong but couldn't retract her move in time.
Icicles spread around, instantly freezing Isabel into an ice sculpture.
Then, the whistling ice blades cut the ice sculpture into pieces.
At the same time, Ice Princess's body swayed violently, almost losing balance.
The Destruction Demon Lord roared heavily, seemingly trying to break free from suppression in this opportunity.
After some struggle, Ice Princess finally managed to barely maintain the suppression.
Using other magic while suppressing the Destruction Demon Lord was evidently too strenuous for her.
"Heh...heh... You're good. You’ve actually pushed me to this point." Isabel gasped for breath, her expression twisted into a sinister grimace.
She materialized like a ghost in the distance.
She couldn't help but feel relieved that she had reacted in time and played her life-saving card at the last moment.
Considering the Ice Princess's current state, she was most definitely not in serious condition anymore!
What kind of healing amount was this? It was practically resurrecting the dead.
Damn intel officer!
You call this "a bit"?
Just now, although Isabel was almost killed by this intelligence officer, she also figured out that even if the Ice Princess was revived, she would have little strength to do anything else besides suppressing the Destruction Demon Lord.
As long as Croix was dealt with, the Ice Princess would be an easy target for Isabel to exploit.
Isabel only needed to stall Croix long enough and the Ice Princess's life would be depleted by the negative effect of the "Starfield Shackles."
"As expected, just like the intel suggested, you have a lot of life-saving cards. Quite troublesome indeed." Dekan looked at Isabel with a mocking expression.
Then, he patted Croix on the shoulder. "Croix, endure being a healer for a while. I'll take care of this bad woman."
"Mmhm. Huh?" Croix wanted to say something, but hesitated.
If he remembered correctly, wasn't he originally a healer?
At some point, his healing targets had unconsciously changed from teammates to opponents.
Upon reflection, he surprisingly found healing opponents more reasonable than healing teammates?
He even felt somewhat unfamiliar with the idea of healing teammates!
This sudden realization made Croix aware that his mentality seemed to have deviated a bit from normal human behavior.
