Chương 310: Chapter 293. Nursing Leads To Planning

Anna Ericsson's Point Of View Healing him is taking longer than I expected. To think his exhaustion had reached this great of a level... I've been healing him for only 15 minutes, but it feels even longer, the amount of mana I had to use has basically run me dry. I won't be able to join the rest of the fight and be useful if this continues. Thankfully, I've finally been able to bring him to a point where I feel a sense of security with his current healing.

While it's not as good as his Holy Heal, my Natural Healing Spell still has a great effect on him. His breathing has slowed to a calm sleep. While I'd like to allow him to rest, that black forest tells me that we need to hurry along so we can help Sarah. With the rest of my Spell finally finished, it was time to move on to the next step of waking him up. I quickly use the Secret Move I accidently found out about during the week after I was assigned as his Personal Maid.

I move my fingers towards his face and touch his cheek with them. I then pinch his cheek between my thumb and index finger." Master, wake up!" I speak softly, but with a bit of an urgent tone." Hmmm.... 5 more minu..... Oh shit!" John sits up with the speed of a hunter. He turns his head to look at me and then looking towards the black forest that had sprouted up a little under 10 minutes ago." Anna, what's going on? Where's Sarah and the God Of The Blackwoods?"

He quickly looks to me for answers, and I give him them with the same speed he asked me with." Sarah is fighting the God by herself to buy me time to heal you. After they fought for a bit, the God Of The Blackwoods summoned that forest and I don't know what's happened past that, since I was focused on healing you. Also, I did a preliminary check on Count Gorse and he's simply sleeping and tired, he wasn't exhausted like you for whatever reason."" That would be because he's used to the Spell I cast on them.

Blood Of The Cursed Ones is a great Support Spell as it boosts the ability of everyone by around 5x their normal ability, but the cost is great, as you can see. I hoped that the battle would've ended by now, but unfortunat-" / Thump! /" Sweetie!" Count Tye had appeared and tried to explain the aftereffects of his Spell, but he was pushed out of the way without much fanfare by Lady Diana. Who then proceeded to rest Count Gorse on her lap... A lap pillow!

How could I have been so clumsy as to not give John one as well!?" Are you sure he'll be okay!? He's never stretched himself so thin with that Spell before! He's always ended whatever fight he was in, in only a move or two!?" Count Diana looked at me for confirmation of my diagnosis, I nodded my head in the hope that it would bring her some comfort." Lady Anna, is Lady Sarah okay in there?" Lady Kina looked at the black forest as she spoke.

Considering the performance of all of us so far, it's a valid concern, but Sarah should be fine, even being inside of the forest. She's not just our frontliner for show. She's the best Warrior of our group currently and could even fight to a standstill with Ruby if they were just using their weapons. Having said all of that, I'd rather John and I both there next to her to help with the fight." Sarah is fine." John answered Lady Kina's question with a calm confidence in his voice.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon." How can you be sure, Matthew?" Count Sark, whose arm had stopped bleeding, yet he continued to glow with a blood red glow around him, had also arrived with his wife and Lady Diana. He asked John how he could be so sure upon hearing him speak with such confidence. John looked at him with a look that said he didn't know why Count Sark even asked him that question." Because Alice didn't attack while we were fighting, right?

That means she's still waiting. And I'm betting she's waiting for the right moment still. My best guess is that the current best moment will be when the God Of The Blackwoods will attempt to kill Sarah."" And you're just okay with that?" /THUMP! / John jumped up off of the ground and began to move his limbs and head around to see if he was still in decent shape, he turned to Count Sark who asked the question with a hint of aggression in his voice and John answered in kind.

Golden white mana began to erupt from John's body as he began to move a bit more violently." Hell no! And now that I'm up and I'm around 20%... It'll be quicker if you just show me your arm, Phil."" What?"" Show me, your arm and then I'll heal you. Let's go kill a God once and for all. While you do that..." John turned his head around to Count Gorse and he raised his right hand to him." Holy Heal." With confidence in his voice, John's mana came whirling out of his hand and began to sink into Count Gorse."

And that's done. Don't worry, Lady Diana. Just give him a shake or a pinch and he'll wake up, good as new."" Really?" / whack... whack... whack... / John nodded his head to Lady Diana's words, and she gave Count Gorse a few light slaps to his cheeks. Count Gorse's eyes opened finally, and he seemed surprised as he woke up." Di... Did we win?"" No, not yet, Sweetie. You've only been asleep for about 15 minutes." Count Gorse's surprise didn't abate at all.

John's voice shot through the confusion that Count Gorse had while staring at his wife in disbelief." Holy Heal!"" My... My arm is back! Thank you! Now I can fight again!"" Calm down! We still need something of a plan!"" Ah! You act like you don't already have one cooked up in that head of yours! Come on! Out with it, Matthew!" Count Sark's joyfulness hid the single tear that had fallen from Lady Kina's eye, but I was able to see it with the eyes of a Dodomeki.

John was being hugged by Count Sark as he tried to speak through the squeezing in Count Sark's arms that seemed to be longer than he was tall." Yes, yes... I... Do have a plan.... Need to breathe..." Eventually, Count Sark let My Husband go and he was able to catch his breath." Okay, first of all. Mana check. I'm at 15% now... Count Sark and Count Gorse's conditions were so severe that it actually took more mana than usual to heal them. I haven't felt this way since I first healed Sarah...

Anyways, Anna, Count Tye, Lady Kina and Lady Diana. How much mana do you roughly have left?" I answered first." 7%"" 15%"" 40%"" 35%"" 33%" John nodded his head as everyone answered in the order than their names were called." I see. That's not amazing, but we can do something with that. Here's what I was thinking..."

Basically, John wanted us to use a Party Formation of Count Gorse and Count Sark in the front, Count Tye and himself as the mid-liners, Lady Kina and Lady Diana and myself as the backrow to support with Spells. Seeing as I didn't have as much mana, I asked if I should instead take up a mid-line position, my idea was shut down without mercy." Worst comes to worse, you'll be our ace in the hole.

Sure, he knows that your Goddesses' manas can cause him damage, but Phil, Gordon and I were the ones who pissed him off the worst. If I had to bet, he'd probably aim for me above everyone else. So, the idea is that Count Tye can apply Buffs to me while Gordon and the still Buffed Phil distract him. Then, hopefully, we, along with Sarah and Alice, can strike him down while he has no armor or mana to cast any Spells.

With that, we just need to worry about the sword, but if he's tired, we should be able to avoid his strikes, since Sarah has been fighting this entire time, I think at the very least, she's fast enough to dodge the slashes. What do you all think?" I didn't have much to say as it seemed like the best choice with our current circumstances. I just hope that we can get there in time to help Sarah and Alice." Well, I'm certainly not going to think up anything better." Count Sark seemed to also back John's idea.

With that, the rest of the group seemed to agree as well. /RUMBLE! BOOOM! WOOSH! / It seemed to have happened not a moment too soon as a giant quaking suddenly shocked us as it shook the land. After that, the sound of an explosion seemed to happen and the aftershock of it caused a great gust of wind to hit us all as well. John looked at us and with a somewhat worried look on his face, quickly ordered us all." Let's move out!"

And with his words, we quickly formed a formation and began to run to the black forest as fast as we could.
