Magical Love: Learn To Love In Another World

Chapter 84: Injured

As the days followed, our battles became increasingly harder, especially the battle we were in now. With over half the puzzle completed, we were now facing an absurd number of enemies, so many had come that I lost count completely. "Marsil, Sam Stay close to us!" Able yelled out.

Right now there was a mix of goblins and kobolds. Goblins were a bigger issue for many reasons. They could not only use melee weapons of different kinds but also use bows. Not to mention their habit of using human women as breeding horses. 

The battle continued and the four of us were really breathing hard, our stamina was dropping, and we were popping potions left and right. It was during this time that it finally happened since I entered this dungeon. I was stabbed in the back with a spear by a kobold who had taken the chance while I was blocking two goblins from pouncing on Marsil. "Uhg!" The pain was sharp. The feeling of something foreign entering your body was not a pleasant feeling at all and the pain that came with it was even worse. 

"Rei!" I heard Able shout out but he could not run over since he was busy trying to ward off the enemies in front of him. 

I held my side and waved my hand, sending out a wave of ice behind me. Freezing both the kobold and the spear solid in ice. I then smashed the spear handle and left the rest still inside my body. I knew this was not good but for now, I could only do this. It was at that time that I pushed off the two goblins and made up my mind. I was finally going to be forced to use area of effect attacks. 

"Everyone get closer together!" I yelled through gritted teeth. I was starting to lose a good deal of blood. 

At my command, everyone quickly gathered around me after warding off the monsters they were fighting. I imagined a barrier around us and waved my hand making a blue barrier appear. After that, I waved my hand once again and yelled "Fire Storm!"

The whole room was suddenly filled with flames. The heart wrenching screams of pain from the monsters filled our ears but At this point, I could care less. I was starting to feel a little woozy. Unfortunately, I had to wait to drink a healing potion since I could not do so now with a spear tip still stuck in my back or it would be stuck inside me. I could feel the heat of the flames around us. But the screams from the monsters finally stopped and a horrid stench of burnt monster flesh and hair filled the air. 

I waved my hand and put out the flames. As I did, the smoke in the air disappeared and only the charred remains of the dead monsters were left. I clenched my teeth and asked: "Able can you pull this out of me!?"

"Yeah hold on. It will hurt, do you want something to bite down on?" Able asked. 

"No, just do it in one swift motion. I need to drink a healing potion quickly." I said. Able nodded at me and went to my back and grabbed hold of the spear that was sticking out. 

"Are you ready?" Able asked which in turn I nodded my head quickly. I was already in intense pain from him touching the handle. But this pain quickly intensified when I felt him pull hard on the spear, luckily it was over quickly but I could feel the flesh and the muscles tearing which made me scream out in pain. It was so painful that I collapsed in Able's arms. "Rei!" 

"Quickly give her a potion!" I heard Marsil yell. 

Able had pulled out a potion and brought it to my lips, but I was starting to feel really faint, and even drinking was an issue. I guess Able realized this because he poured the potion in his own mouth and pushed his lips into mine. I could feel his tongue inside my mouth funneling the healing potion down my throat. I felt a warmth flow through my body as I slowly closed my eyes.

When I woke next, I found my head resting on Able's lap with him looking down at me. I wanted to get up but he quickly pushed my head back down. "Don't move. Your wound is still healing. The spear went very deep and some of your internal organs were cut. Marsil is having a hell of a time healing you." 

My throat was dry as can be but I still forced out: "Thank you..." 

"No need for tanks Rei, we are a team. Plus you got hurt protecting me." I heard Marsil say from my side. I couldn't see her but I guess she was still casting healing magic on my back.

"Can I get some water?" I asked. My throat felt like I just walked through a desert. It was so dry and chapped as if I had not drunk anything for weeks. 

"Are you sure you do not want Able to feed it to you with his mouth?" Marsil said in a teasing tone making my face flush red. But this did help my mood a bit more. But it did make me think for a second before I shook my head. It would be too embarrassing to have that done. Yes, I was actually not against the idea.

"Okay don't tease her. Here you go Rei." Able held a water flask to my mouth and helped me tilt my head in a way so that I would not move my back much. 

The clear cool fluid slid down my throat making me feel much better. But I still felt exhausted, so I closed my eyes and shifted my head trying to find a comfortable spot. What relaxed me the most was Able gently running his fingers through my hair. He was very sweet and amazing in my eyes. "From now on I will just cast aoe attacks when monsters spawn. No more trying to fight it out."
