Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Wolfe stepped forward to look at the damage to the Headmistress.

“Don’t get too close, I think that it is contagious. The first group to help me at the hospital all had their auras collapse.” She warned him.

Wolfe made a dismissive gesture as he got closer and cranked up Detect Hidden.

“I take it we’ve had a stronger healer help already?” He asked.

Peach nodded. “Ella came to see me earlier, and her treatment helped a lot, but my aura is still on the verge of collapse. But that’s my problem.

I came here to warn you that the off world enemy has a weapon that can do this. If they hit you with something that collapses your capacity for magic, the whole world could be in trouble.

It would cause chaos everywhere if they could take out a Saint. I think that you should send someone else to deal with the issue.”

Wolfe examined her body in silence for a few more moments, then turned to Cassie.

“I want to try something, can you actively heal her? And maybe numb her because this is going to hurt a lot.” Wolfe asked.

Cassie nodded, but raised an eyebrow and looked at Peach.

“Yes, I should ask her not you, but she’s not going to say no, but you might have yelled at me.” Wolfe replied.

Peach smirked at the two, and Cassie rolled her eyes, while Mary giggled from somewhere in the background.

Wolfe channelled a gentle flow of Unholy Fire into the Headmistress’s shoulder, burning away tissue that was immediately replaced by the healing spell.

Her aura went crazy, fluctuating and trying to take over the healed area, then retreating as something forced it out.

But as Wolfe worked, and burned away spots deeper in her body, the aura began to stabilize as the infection was nullified. Or at least, that was what he was pretty sure it was. Healing magic could confine it and force it to move through the body, but that just concentrated it in one spot, which even a Rank Five witch didn’t have the power to cleanse.

Wolfe stopped when there were no more traces of her aura being attacked, and Cassie stopped a few seconds later.

“That should do it. I think it is a virus or infection that is immune to magic, so it collapses the aura when you catch it. Was there anything odd about their soldiers when you were injured?” He asked.

Peach thought about it for a moment, then nodded. “There were some troops that didn’t seem to be injured by magic. We shot them, and they died, but the spells would flicker out when they were hit.

I was injured on my way back to the Academy, but my radio was damaged and I couldn’t warn them. It took a few days to get back here to safety, are they alright? I heard that you solved the problem there for me.”

Wolfe smiled. “All fixed. Now, can you bring the others who were infected while treating you here? I have an idea that is just stupid enough that it should work.”

Someone sent for the nurses, but Wolfe could see the anxiety in the faces of the other witches.

“Don’t worry, this will only take a minute, and then I will be off at supersonic speeds to rescue the village. They don’t have enough Saints to be sending them to attack smaller targets, so I’m in no real danger.” He informed the crowd.

“Should we make cleansing charms for you? The villagers might need them desperately when you arrive.” The Advisor asked.

Reiko shook her head. “They have a Rank Five Fae protector in the town who his holding up the barriers. If the barriers don’t fall, Wolfe can do a quarantine burn of the bodies to make sure nothing spreads.”

“Alright, I will send a message if I encounter any issues. I will remain in the air for the fight, so I don’t end up contaminating myself in case they’ve got some strange disease that targets witches and Magi.” Wolfe informed them as the group of nurses were brought up.

The nurses looked apprehensive at the gathering of powerful people here, knowing that what they had was contagious. So, while they were wearing full protective gear, they were also staying well away from the group.

“Ladies, thank you for coming up. I have an experimental treatment method that I am pretty sure can and will work, as long as the victim of this disease can be brought to a sufficiently skilled healer.

How much luck did you have containing the spread at your power level?” Wolfe asked.

They shook their heads, and the one in the red nurse’s scrubs answered. “We could keep it away from the vital organs, somewhat. We started with that to ensure it didn’t stop the heart or the breathing, but once we got a Rank Two healer in, they could contain it to a much smaller area.

Nothing that we could do would cure it, but we could contain it well enough. The problem is that there aren’t a lot of Rank Two healers, and a healing potion is indiscriminate, it attacks everything but won’t work well on this.”

“Well, that is an issue, but soon there will be more of them. If an outbreak happens, we will send more healers to you to help. But this way should take care of it all, I hope. For that reason, I will ask the Coven Leader to do the work here today, to give a power reference for the cure.” Wolfe requested.

Reiko nodded, and began to heal all five of them at once.

“Take the infection and move it down into the left hand. Focus it as far toward the fingers as you can, and try not to let it block any aura past the wrist.” Wolfe instructed.

What she was doing seemed to be moving the healthy blood around the infection in the direction that she wanted, and that carried it away and let it pool. Keeping it too densely packed and isolated would cut off the blood flow to the hand, but that was the least of the nurse’s problems right now.

Because once Reiko gave Wolfe the nod that the process was complete, Wolfe created a sword with Earth Magic and lopped off the hand. Then the other four, as the nurses stood in shock, unsure what they were supposed to be doing.

As the reality set in, and they began to scream, Reiko’s ongoing healing magic stopped the blood flow and began to reform the hand, along with their aura, which smoothly adapted to the witches’ repaired bodies.

“Now, can someone try to burn those severed limbs?” Wolfe requested.

Headmistress Peach cast a fire spell on them, and it sputtered a little as it touched the infected blood, but after a few seconds, everything was still burnt to ash as expected.

“And there we have it. A Rank Two healer compatible method for fully curing and purifying the infected flesh.” Wolfe announced proudly.

“And traumatize plague victims at the same time. Next time, warn us so we can have them close their eyes, or be sedated or something.” Reiko complained, with a motion for Wolfe to go away.

“Fine. But it worked. I will message you when I’m done with the invasion team, and we can meet somewhere.” Wolfe agreed, before taking flight and heading for the source of the distress call.
