Chapter 45: Chapter 43: Red Moon Maiden and the Fragments
After the meeting ended.
The chubby man’s expression towards Chloe became more subtle.
"Good brother, you’ve gotten stronger again."
Although Chloe was already impressive before, this time he could clearly feel that Chloe’s understanding of healing magic models had completely outstripped his own.
"Nothing special, just a lot of practice."
"Tsk, this time you really managed to pull off the show."
His expression while saying this was as complex as if he were biting into a lemon.
Based solely on the final results, he was the top of the second-year students.
But he was well aware that Chloe had already completed his sophomore courses early on.
Outside of intensively studying practical classes in flesh and blood magic, he rarely attended theoretical classes.
If it weren’t for certain teachers insisting on punishing poor attendance with failing grades, he might not attend at all.
The Treasure Elf had taught him everything without reservation, and he did not disappoint their expectations.
In the past, Daniel had noticed a gap between them, but at least he could still see his back.
But now, he couldn’t even see his back anymore.
It was absurd.
"Did you take some kind of magic steroids, or did marrying the Treasure Elf improve your healing skills?"
The chubby man was envious to the point of tears.
He couldn’t understand how this transformation happened just over a single vacation.
Was I erased from reality for a while?
Chloe chuckled secretly.
How should he explain to him that he lived a second life in simulations, accumulating extra experience?
Even though receiving too much simulation memory at once could fry his brain, quite a bit of useful memory remained.
In the first simulation, losing the recovery talent was just barely tolerable.
In the second simulation, his understanding of flesh and blood magic skyrocketed.
"I’ll leave the follow-up to you, I still have a case to handle."
He waved his hand and left directly.
Next, he needed to go to the rehabilitation center to see the main subject of the treatment.
...
Location: Ethereal Emblem - Rehabilitation Center’s Advanced Treatment Room.
"Please come in."
Chloe was led in by a female healer.
Her long black hair made Chloe recognize her immediately as his extra advisor this year, Heisha.
At this time, all unrelated personnel were stopped outside the treatment room.
A tall and handsome middle-aged man with a neatly combed back said to Heisha:
"The Red Moon Fragment has entered its active phase, we can’t delay any longer, it must be extracted immediately."
Chloe’s ears perked up slightly.
Including this time, it was already the third time he had heard this term.
He knew about the Red Moon Fragment.
In "Simulated Hero," there was the fragment of the Red Moon Maiden, closely related to Rephya’s growth.
The King of the Living Dead awakened by the Red Moon Fragment in the Tangke Grand Canyon.
The Three Kings’ turmoil erupted between the three tribes of the Dark Territory over the humanoid weapon embedded with the Red Moon Fragment.
The Saint’s Right Wrist went berserk after being implanted with the fragment by the Flesh and Blood Hermitage.
...
A large number of storylines and side quests that pushed Rephya’s growth were all related to the Red Moon Fragment.
It was rumored to be a crystalline force extracted from the [Red Moon Maiden].
Although this goddess only ascended at the end of the Era of Turmoil, her rise was swift.
It was said to be a gift from her Father God, the King of Redemption.
That foremost force in the backdrop of "Simulated Hero," bestowed upon the Red Moon Maiden an unkillable fate.
But being unkillable does not mean being unsealable.
In the background story of "Simulated Hero," it’s only known that after this goddess was sealed, her extraordinary traits scattered to the world, causing numerous anomalies.
Brief comment: Four Souls Jade PLUS edition
Lilith’s problem lay here.
According to the situation provided by the client, the client’s daughter accidentally picked up a large Red Moon Fragment when she was young, and finding their family’s gemstone necklace too heavy, she DIY-ed a necklace with the Red Moon Fragment.
Subsequently, the Red Moon Fragment merged into her Life Origin, making Lilith a vessel for the Red Moon Divine Power.
But the Red Moon was fragmented, and the deeper the life influenced by the Red Moon Origin, the more easily their soul could be devoured, leading to complete madness.
Lilith’s father could not accept this outcome.
Yet with the Life Origin and the Red Moon Fragment merged, removing the fragment was tantamount to shattering the origin.
If the origin shattered, saving her would be very difficult.
Chloe couldn’t help but recall the first Fantasy Show he saw.
The Blade Master, a friend of the King of Redemption, supposedly wasn’t killed immediately by the Envious Divine Choice.
But with his Life Origin already fractured, the Blade Master only managed to leave a few words for his friend before passing away.
Even the King of Redemption of that year couldn’t save the person, making this surgery an endeavor against fate.
"I’ll activate the rune array first."
The somewhat haggard middle-aged man held up a crystal ball flickering with brilliant arcs of electricity.
Centered around him, countless dense magic runes spread throughout the treatment room.
Chloe recognized 13 kinds at a glance.
Tier One Magic: Healing Truth
Tier Two Magic: Healing Prayer, Healing Soul
Tier Three Magic: Beacon of Hope, Group Healing Truth, Reversed: Vampire’s Touch
Tier Four Magic: Flesh and Blood Healing, Vigorous Life Force
Tier Five Magic: Group Healing Technique
Tier Six Magic: Healing Skill
Tier Nine Magic: Group Healing Skill, Law Healing, Prayer Technique
Many of these magical skills, Chloe had only ever seen in books.
He could only recognize the origins of these runes, tiny enough to be smaller than mosquitoes.
With his current abilities, he could at most replicate a Tier Three Group Healing Truth.
Beyond that, it was a domain he hadn’t touched at all.
The middle-aged man holding the extraordinary artifact was continually channeling the energy from the crystal ball into the rune array, awakening the runes into an active state.
Chloe was astonished.
That extraordinary artifact was likely the miracle magic ball of Ethereal Emblem’s vice principal.
To forcibly compare its effect... it was like the reactor on Iron Man’s chest.
If brought into the outside world, it could spark a revolution in the energy sector.
Yet here, its only purpose was to serve as the energy source for countless healing rune arrays.
Such grandiosity.
But because of this, it highlighted the immense difficulty of today’s treatment.
Chloe was not the chief healer.
He wasn’t at that level yet.
He was called in this time just to cover any possible gaps in the treatment.
Heisha actually noticed Chloe too.
She was genuinely surprised at how a sophomore student became involved in the surgery.
But recalling the cost from the client’s side in this surgery, she could only say...
"It’s great to have money."
Chloe pointed out, "Master Heisha, you said your thoughts out loud."
"Oh, really?"
Her expression was very serious.
Recalling the news she got from her niece, she found it reasonable.
Encountering such a prodigy over so many years, it was indeed worth calling in to ensure a bottom line.
The stronger a person is, it doesn’t necessarily mean the better control they have over lower-tier magic.
Even for someone like Heisha who’s actively worked on the front lines, low-tier flesh and blood magic are often left to subordinates.
Use it or lose it after all.
Getting accustomed to high-tier magic, the potential of lower-tier magic inevitably wanes to some extent.
Let alone comparing to someone inherently gifted with recovery talents.
But even this seemingly trivial treatment was not something the client was willing to pass up.
They’d rather spend more money than allow any mistakes.
"Follow the procedure step by step when treating, don’t act rashly for attention."
Heisha considered for a moment and still reminded the kid.
Chloe needed to proceed steadily.
The main challenges were her and those colleagues.
She had a premonition that today’s treatment wouldn’t go smoothly.
