Lester was shouting, the mage youth was silent, the tall archer sister lowered her head, and the healer girl was sobbing uncontrollably.

Violet was finding it a bit hard to handle the hair-raising atmosphere around her. After all, she had originally planned to use this injured person as a test subject to see how effective her skills from the “Illusory World” would be on the residents of this world. That’s why she had intentionally left Leon unattended until now.

The more severe the injury, the more apparent the differences in the effectiveness of various skills.

By the way, if Violet’s character were described in traditional MMORPG terms, she would be considered a priest, with many additional support and defensive abilities. However, her skills were primarily used for replenishing HP in the game, so she wasn’t entirely sure if they could truly heal real-life injuries.

As for whether it was humane to intentionally let Leon’s condition worsen, first of all, she wasn’t going to let him actually die, and Violet herself didn’t have that saintly personality.

Moreover, being new to this world’s residents, Violet currently didn’t have a strong sense of empathy for them. Plus, since becoming 【Violet】, something special had influenced her, which ultimately led to this decision.

Gently pushing Lester aside, Violet crouched down, carefully examining the massive wound on Leon’s body. There was no doubt that it had been caused by the claws of the Black Night Tiger, and many organs inside had even ruptured. Combined with the heavy bleeding, it was indeed a life-threatening situation.

In the “Illusory World,” when players and monsters were injured, it was directly reflected in their HP. Even if wounds were realistically simulated, they would be adjusted to a level that was relatively easy for people to accept.

So this was actually the first time Violet had seen such a realistically gruesome wound. But as mentioned earlier, aside from feeling a bit queasy, the girl didn’t experience too much discomfort, which actually turned out to be quite helpful.

Mr. Lester, who was pushed aside by Violet, hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth to speak, but then recalled the terrifying power of the other blonde girl that seemed legendary. He also noticed the peculiar pristine white robe and staff that Violet had. In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to remain silent.

As a seasoned adventurer, he was well aware of how severe Leon’s injuries were. It was highly unlikely that Leon had made it out of the forest, let alone back to the city, with such wounds. At this point, it was a desperate situation, and he could only hope that the black-haired girl with remarkable qualities could work a miracle.

Violet didn’t pay attention to what others were thinking. This was an excellent opportunity for experimentation, and she wouldn’t miss any clues.

So, let’s start with the basics.

“Healing Spell.”

The girl intentionally didn’t use a weapon. She extended her right hand, and a pure golden sphere of light blossomed in her palm before directly entering the depths of the young man’s wound.

“…Huh?”

“What, what is this? This can’t be…!”

“By the grace of the Goddess…”

Violet froze in place. Everyone present, including Lester, had shocked expressions on their faces, but it seemed… not for the same reason.

As the sphere of golden light infiltrated Leon’s body, in just a few seconds, the horrifying wound that had torn almost half of his body apart actually began to heal at a visibly rapid pace. It was like a miracle reversing time, restoring it to its original state. Even the internal organs and the skin were completely intact!

This… is too simple, right? Wait a minute, I did release the most basic Healing Spell, something that can be mastered at level 1, despite the level and attribute bonuses. I even intentionally refrained from using a weapon, planning to observe the effects gradually…

Observe my foot!

Wasn’t this a complete recovery?!

The man before her was now breathing steadily, with only a slightly pale complexion due to not having had time to boost his blood production. In gaming terms, it was as if his HP had been fully restored…

This… what’s going on? Could it be that the skills from 【Illusory World】 provide extra benefits to life in this world? Or is it that this guy’s health bar is so low that even a weakened basic Healing Spell can fully restore it?!

Indeed, if I look at it based on the standards in the game, I’m currently at level 110, and even a casually used skill should be sufficient to fill up the health of targets with a significant level difference. So…

Based on the previous battle and this healing session, if we consider the general standards of 【Illusory World】, Lester and the others, led by him, shouldn’t have levels much higher than, at most, level 20?

Very weak, they were explosively weak compared to Violet and Xiao Guang, although they could be considered superhuman compared to ordinary people on Earth. However, in the context of the fantastical world of 【Illusory World】, they were only at the level of beginners.

Violet didn’t want to be like some characters in novels and anime, who were overly cautious despite being very strong. But at the moment, she didn’t have any clear information to gauge her own power level in this world. The strength of the creatures she had seen for the first time was far from enough.

Being a little more cautious might seem ridiculous in the future, but it was better than regretting it after getting hurt. After all, she was the one who had traveled back in time; nobody wanted to play games with their own life.

With these thoughts in mind, Violet withdrew her pure white hand that had released the spell and stepped back. Although the experiment didn’t go as expected, she still gained some insights.

“Young lady, you… Could it be that you’re one of the Saintesses of the Holy Empire? But you’re supposed to guard the Holy Empire year-round and never leave, right? Why…”

“Hmm?”

Violet glanced to the side and noticed that not only Lester, who was speaking, but also the others who had previously appeared anxious, were suddenly looking at her with admiration. Especially the girl in the white robe, she even had a flushed face and was trembling slightly with excitement.

No, they must be mistaking me for someone else…

“Sorry, I don’t know who you’re talking about, but my name is Violet, just a… um, wandering traveler.”

“Ah? Then, what about this…”

Lester was momentarily taken aback. He instinctively looked at the companion who had been on the brink of death but was now recovering and moaning, as well as Xiao Guang, who had been silently guarding the black-haired girl since the beginning.

“Even if you say that, with such healing abilities and the presence of a legendary figure for protection, other than His Highness from the Holy Empire, I can’t think of anyone else. If you’re trying to conceal your identity…”

Violet waved her hand impatiently, cutting off Lester’s baseless speculation. “Anyway, I’m not the person you’re talking about. Believe it or not, I’ve helped you with the monster, and I’ve healed your friend. Can you answer some questions for me?”

“Um, please go ahead.”

“Do you… have a settlement nearby, you know, a human gathering place?”

“Huh?”

Lester seemed surprised that the refined young lady before him was suddenly asking such a basic question. He hesitated for a moment before responding, “Of course we do. The dark forests at night are not safe. If it weren’t for… we had planned to return to the town for supplies and rest.”

“It’s about a dozen kilometers from here, Miss. Do you… need to go to the town with us first? By the way, the Black Night Tiger that your companion defeated, could we get 80 percent of it? Sorry, this time we really…”

“Just call me Violet. I do want to see the town you mentioned. As for the reward, you can split it among yourselves, I don’t need it.”

Violet had been struggling to find someone to lead her to the outside world, so Lester’s offer was more than welcome. Given the apparent gap in strength displayed by the other party, she wasn’t worried about these few people having any ulterior motives. She readily accepted.

As for the reward he mentioned, judging by the looks of these individuals and the strength of that big tiger, it probably wasn’t much to speak of. It was easier to just be gracious and accept it.

After packing up her belongings, delivering the final blow to the barely breathing Black Night Tiger, taking the so-called spoils of war, Violet set off for the town that Lester had mentioned, accompanied by her pet dragon-girl, Lester, Leon, who had awakened and had been expressing gratitude, and the others.
