Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 216 Spells and Curses

On the side of the ruins, in the lush green hillside, there is a very conspicuous excavation mark.

Large amounts of soil were pushed out of the ground, slid down the hillside, and piled up at the bottom, burying the low weeds and shrubs. The tall trees were also half buried.

The soil fell down the hillside, making it look as if the mountain had been punctured and was oozing pus.

At this moment, several mercenaries ran out of the excavated tunnel, covered in dust and dirt. They were dragging a mangled figure who appeared to have resisted an explosion at close range. His armor was torn apart, his skin was covered in blood, and his hair was in an afro.

Upon seeing him, everyone gasped, their breath forming a grimace above his head.

The mercenary who had brought the person out saw a large crowd gathered outside and quickly shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, if any of you are skilled in healing, please help us. Our teammate accidentally triggered a trap in the ruins. In order to prevent the tunnel from being destroyed, he blocked the explosion and was seriously injured. He urgently needs medical treatment."

Another person quickly said, "His situation is very special. It seems that the explosion blasted the runes into his body, preventing the healing spell from entering. I can't solve it. If anyone can remove the negative effects and heal him, the Eternal Night Mercenary Group will reward them handsomely!"

Some people were tempted, but when they heard that the healing technique could not be applied to the human body, they calmed down.

"Runes exploding inside the body? Isn't that just curse magic?"

"Even purification spells have difficulty breaking the curse of the spell."

"Poor guy, hopeless."

If it's just treating serious injuries, they can still do it. After all, healing spells are an indispensable spell for mercenary groups, and most mercenary groups have them.

However, the inability to heal means that the other party needs a second-tier or higher spell, such as Purification, to dispel the negative status.

That creates a barrier to entry.

Purification techniques are not something everyone can learn.

This negative effect of being unable to heal is caused by incantation, not by conventional magic.

That's even more difficult.

Elena peeked out and then whispered, "Speaking of which, our elven blessings can dispel the effects of many spells. I wonder if they can lift that person's curse."

Celia said, "Why don't we give it a try?"

Elena shook her head: "I don't know healing magic. What if they make things difficult for me if I just offer a blessing and it doesn't heal them?"

Celia pulled Elena forward, saying, "It's alright, I'm here. If they dare to make things difficult for you, I'll send them all to jail."

As a prospective saintess, Celia cannot bear to see anyone die in front of her.

Especially when there is still hope.

She hadn't originally planned to intervene because she figured that among so many mercenaries, there must be many who also worked as priests.

Even if they aren't priests, they've all learned at least the most basic healing spells.

No matter how severe the injury, as long as it is an external injury, healing techniques can be effective to some extent.

It may be incurable, but stabilizing the injury is still possible.

However, if the injured person is afflicted with other negative effects that hinder treatment, then there's nothing that can be done.

It requires higher-level purification and healing spells, or special spells like elven blessings.

Clearly, these spells are not something ordinary mercenaries can access.

The mercenary's condition is quite urgent; we can deal with other things later. Let's stabilize his injuries first.

Celia pulled Elena through the crowd to the lying mercenary.

“Elena, it’s up to you,” Celia said, observing the mercenary’s condition. Elena nodded: “Okay.”

As she finished speaking, a green light appeared on her body.

Elves' nature magic is innate, unlike humans' affinity for nature magic, and humans cannot cultivate it.

Their magic is like real nature, refreshing and delightful.

The light of the elven blessing emanated from her, and the many mercenaries watching seemed to breathe in the natural air of an air conditioner commercial, their spirits lifted, and their bodies seemed to be filled with power.

"What powerful magic!"

"Why does it feel like an elf's blessing?"

"No, it's the blessing of an elf! That lady is an elf!"

"I've heard that elven blessings can purify most curses. The Eternal Night Mercenary Group is quite lucky; there are elves nearby."

"Elves truly are a race that represents kindness and beauty!"

"..."

While everyone was discussing it, Elena was using an elven blessing to dispel the curse from the lying mercenary.

Runes that can be applied to the human body are a combination of magic and runes, also known as incantations.

"The curse on this mercenary is so ancient... layer upon layer, it seems like there are a hundred layers, it's so hard to dispel."

A bead of sweat appeared on Elena's forehead.

Celia reached out her hand, and a purification spell appeared. Following the flow of the mercenary's magic, she tried to sense the curse within him.

"Sorcery is a combination of spells and runes. As long as it involves runes, I should be able to understand it..."

Soon, she sensed Elena's magic battling against the spells within the mercenary's body.

Ross glanced at it and said, "This method of cursing looks familiar. Celia, you can use your mage's hand to resolve it."

“Okay.” Celia agreed, her mental energy transforming into a mage’s hand, flowing through the purification spell into the mercenary’s body, joining the battlefield to help Elena dispel the layers of curses.

With Celia's help, Elena quickly dispelled the curse.

Then, Celia's healing spell covered the mercenary's entire body, stabilizing his injuries.

This level of injury cannot be healed in one go. Even if Celia had a way to heal it, she wouldn't use it on him easily, as that would make others think too much.

After stabilizing the injury, Celia stood up and said, "Alright, this friend's injury has stabilized. Treatment cost: 2 gold coins. Thank you."

The members of the Eternal Night Mercenary Group breathed a sigh of relief. A mercenary who seemed to be the group leader came over, took out two gold coins, and thanked them, saying, "Thank you for your healing, my two friends. I am Hertos, the leader of the Eternal Night Mercenary Group. The Eternal Night Mercenary Group will be your eternal friend. May I ask if you could tell us your names?"

Celia took the gold coins and said, "We're just ordinary mercenaries passing by, making a little money. There's no need for us to know our names."

She gave Elena a gold coin, the two exchanged a glance, smiled slightly, and walked outside without saying another word.

Hertos's voice came from behind: "When you two get back, you might as well visit our Eternal Night Mercenary Group. We will prepare a sumptuous dinner for you."

These two mercenaries were so powerful, and they seemed to be independent individuals. Hethos decided to recruit them.

Celia sensed it too. Without turning around, she waved her hand behind her, saying, "No need."

The crowd parted to make way for the two as they left.
