After Levi transformed into the Leviathan, she continued to talk to N with an imperious, commanding tone. "Now that you have seen our true forms. Would you reconsider my offer? I could certainly use someone as talented as you."

N made a counter offer with confidence. "Thank you for your offer. In return, I have a proposition for you. How about working with me instead? You should know about the Kingdom's corruption better than I do. It has been going on for decades. There is no other way than to rebuild the Kingdom. I also know about the political perils that you are going through. If you work with me, I will never let that happen."

Levi was very surprised at the counter offer. She opened her eyes widely to take a better look at N. "This person is not just another demon." She finally realized. N then added. "If you truly have a plan to improve the Kingdom, please share it with me. I am willing to listen. If not, please don't make any excuses. We both don’t have time."

The Leviathan remained silent for a full minute, staring intensely at N. Between adversaries who were just trying to kill each other moments ago, a minute was like an eternity. The Behemoth glanced at her several times, also remaining silent. Levi took a step back and lowered her head.

"It looks like she is really considering my offer. Perhaps I can give her one more push." N thought as he observed Levi and attempted to predict her thoughts.

Suddenly, Levi, the Behemoth and N felt a strong Aura very close to them. They all turned toward the Aura's direction and saw a bright silver light shining behind the trees in the forest.

"Healing Spells? No, this brilliance... Resurrection?" The three of them thought at the same time.

The only one injured in the area was Bob. Therefore, the person who cast Resurrection must be an ally of N and possessed the power of a Holy Knight. Both Levi and the Behemoth quickly took notice of this.

At the same time, the Behemoth looked up into the mountain behind N and said. "Hey, Levi. Look, over there."

"This is our loss. We will leave now." Levi said right after she looked up. The two decreased in size and swiftly retreated into the water together.

N continued to face toward their direction without relaxing. His intense Aura continued to occupy the area.

"Thanks, Myne." N said without looking back.

"You are way too reckless. If you lose, what will happen to Ashley? Also, what if Saint Levi tell the others about you?" Myne said from a distance using wind magic. N allowed Myne's Aura to enter his vicinity, enabling the spell to work and keeping their conversation private.

"Sorry I made you worry. But first, I only needed to chase her away or convince her to stop, which I almost succeeded; and second." N said confidently. "She won’t tell anyone."

"You are being too arrogant." Myne admonished. "You need to be more careful if you want to live long. If you had failed at your convincing, it would had been very dangerous."

"With everything that's going on right now, I’d worry more about Cecelia. Why don’t you go check up on her? Just in case."

"Are you sure?" Myne asked with concern.

"Yes, I've got a new helper. It’s Julie. You've met her." N replied. "I will let you know if I need your help again. Thanks."

"No problem. You got anything to say to Cecelia?"

"Please send her my regards."

Myne paused for a moment before asking, "That’s it?"

"Ah.. Yes?"

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"...I will go see Ashley first. See ya."

"Why?"

Myne didn’t answer and left. "…"

"Ok, focus. I got a new patient." N murmured to himself as he sheathed his sword.

After Myne left, N dashed about 30 seconds to the North on tree top and picked up a bag. Then, he dashed to Bob and landed in front of Adrian from above the trees. He removed his hood, mask and showed his Emerald eyes, black hair and fair skin. His hair was flattened by the hood, giving him the vibe of an academic nerd who spent his life in a lab.

Tiffany was still surprised that the Leviathan and Behemoth would leave without a fight. Adrian and Winnie were breathing heavily exhausted from casting Resurrection.

N said, "Appraisal." He started examining Bob’s wound. "How is he?" Tiffany was very concerned.

Then, N took out his surgical knives and exclaimed with surprise, "You two have awakened Resurrection!?"

"Yes, but the ancestors sealed it off so that we won't injure ourselves. Also, we could not finish the spell." Adrian answered as Winnie continued breath heavily.

"Good job! That is good enough. I can handle it from here." Nathan smiled as he answered. "Tiffany, would you mind getting some water and clean towels? Please prepare some boiled water too. By the way, my name is Nathan."

"Sure Nathan!" Tiffany said as she dashed to the stone house. "Was that the right time to tell me his name?" She wondered.

"Ah! Adrian and Winnie used Resurrection, so he knows for certain we're on his side now." Tiffany noticed.

"Stone House. Light Orbs." Nathan made a well-lit room with a door as the children rested enough and walked away. Tiffany brought some towels and boiled water.

"Now that I am here, he is no longer in a life threatening situation. However, I will need a few hours to perform a surgery." Nathan calmly said to the children. "Please don’t come into the room while the operation is in process."

"Tiffany, I will need your help." Nathan added.

Tiffany took the children outside of the room and went back in herself. Very soon, silver colored aura and sparkles covered the area.

Adrian and Winnie sat on a fallen tree right outside, waiting for the surgery to finish.

"So beautiful," Winnie was again fascinated by the sparkles, "He is like our guardian angel."

"Yes he is." Adrian smiled and agreed.

After several grueling hours, Nathan and Tiffany finally completed the surgery. Nathan had cast the Sleep spell on Bob throughout the surgery so he was still sleeping.

Everyone was very hungry. Tiffany went back to the stone house and took out some food for lunch.

After lunch, Tiffany went back into the surgery room and started cleaning up the bloody towels and surgical equipment.

Nathan walked to the now broken Stone Lance that injured Levi and cast Appraisal on Levi’s blood. He lowered his eyebrows, took out a notebook and started writing. After around an hour, he walked to Behemoth’s blood stains and did the same thing. As he worked, he smiled with excitement. He couldn’t believe that he got a chance to analyze the two godly beasts.

It was already late afternoon when he was done. Bob was now awake. The family was at the riverside beside their stone house, talking to each other about what happened.

"Bob, I need to give you an update on your wound." Nathan walked toward the family and said. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Nathan.

"You will start developing a fever soon if not already, which will last a few days. For these few days, try not to move around too much. After your fever goes away, you can begin with some light exercises." said Nathan. Then, he took out a bottle and handed it to Tiffany. "I have some antibiotic herbal ointments here. Clean your wound, change the bandages 3 times a day and apply these to your wound. This should be enough for another day. I got extra in the hospital."

"Your left arm will never regain its former strength. There should be no issue for daily tasks, but you can no longer depend on it for combat." Nathan explain.

Bob's chest and left arm were encased in a cast. "As I suspected," he sighed.

Both Bob and Tiffany saw many injuries when they fought in the war.

"However, if you have no prejudice against demonic races, there is a way I can cure your left arm." Nathan said, his gaze fixed on Bob.

"How?" Bob asked, gazing up to Nathan as if he saw a ray of hope.

"Just like how dragonoids are part human part dragon. I can turn you into another race that has the ability to heal the wound." Nathan answered.

"I have never heard of anything like that. Is it safe?" Tiffany asked.

"No surgery is without risk. However, I have analyzed the glyphs of the Behemoth and Leviathan, and they can be used for healing you. But we must decide now before their Mana dissipate. This is a very rare opportunity." Nathan explained. "Bob’s wound will weaken his left arm for life because it cut through many of his muscles, bones and nerves. To be more specific, his scapula was cracked with a hole in it. His teres minor was completely cut, even his…"

Nathan kept on talking.

After a moment, Tiffany stopped Nathan, "Wait! Wait, please stop. Would you explain in a way that we can understand? We are not physicians."

"Oh, sorry, I tend to get carried away when it comes to researching. I have been spending a lot of time in the lab lately." Nathan explained, lowering his head for a few seconds. "There is a lot to explain, but I will try to keep it simple."

Tiffany nodded. Bob, Tiffany and Adrian were still listening, but Winnie started to look up into the trees and the birds on them.
