Wizard: You can become stronger by living life to the fullest.

Soon after

As dusk fell, a wrecked airship flew through the air, teetering precariously in the twilight like a wounded giant bird. The harpy's attacks had torn it beyond recognition; its steel frame was twisted and deformed, and its canvas skin was tattered like a flag torn by a gale.

Cracks spread across the hull, like scars on the earth. Through these cracks, one can see the complex machinery and pipes inside, some still emitting steam, others already cooled, like lifeless veins.

The airship's engines struggled to operate, emitting a hoarse roar, as if fighting against its fate. Every tremor made one fear that it would disintegrate at any moment.

"Whoosh!~"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts so much!"

"I need treatment."

On the deck, cries of agony echoed continuously. Crew members lay scattered all over the floor, mostly covered in blood and wounds.

Luo Xi stood on the deck, frowning as he scanned his surroundings. He then turned to Angel beside him and asked, "How's the situation? How much damage did we suffer?"

Angel said with a solemn expression, "Two minotaurs are dead, five human sailors are dead, and only one goblin is left."

Gee

Although he had anticipated from the beginning that the losses would likely be substantial, hearing the numbers Angel reported still sent a chill down Rosie's spine. It was practically a total annihilation.

"Wizard! Wizard!"

Just then, Kane rushed over in a panic. He also looked to be in a bad situation, covered in blood and his cross sword was broken in two.

He rushed to Rosie's side, his eyes red-rimmed, and said, "Jerome, Jerome is dying, sir!"

"What?!"

Angel was taken aback. The three of them had been good friends for many years and had supported each other all the way.

She quickly looked at Luo Xi pleadingly, "Teacher."

Luo Xi raised his hand: "Don't rush, I'll go take a look first."

Jerome's current status is that of his subordinate and follower, and now that they are short-handed, he has no reason to stand idly by if he can save him, but if he can't save him, then there's nothing he can do.

The group hurried to one side of the deck, where Rosie saw Jerome lying there.

To be honest, Luo Xi was also shocked when she first saw him; the injuries were just too outrageous.

The entire left arm, up to the shoulder, was completely gone, and below the waist, only a few pieces of torn flesh remained, with various intestines and internal organs scattered all over the ground.

The head was relatively intact, but the face was clearly swept by the harpy's wind blades. The entire face had been completely shaved off, leaving only one eyeball hanging on the bloody eye socket by some nerve fibers.

A large hole was completely opened in his chest cavity, exposing his heart entirely.

Jerome is now completely unrecognizable as human; he's practically just a blurry mass of flesh and blood.

Only the faint breathing coming from his rotten mouth and the throbbing of his heart in his chest indicated that he was still barely clinging to life.

Angel's eyes immediately reddened: "Teacher, what should we do? What should we do?"

Luo Xi frowned: "Quiet!"

What good will crying do at a time like this?

Stopping the emotionally distraught Angel, Rosie walked over, squatted down, and carefully examined Jerome's condition.

Honestly, if this were in the human world, there would be no need to ask; the best solution would be to end his suffering with a single sword strike.

Even in the wizarding world, such injuries are not easily healed; even ordinary wizards would only shake their heads in dismay.

Fortunately, the person here is Rosie, who possesses the strength of a mid-level wizard and also has a wealth of knowledge.

After a quick examination, he swiftly ascertained Jerome's current condition and quickly sketched out a treatment plan in his mind.

He first raised his hand and summoned a large water sphere to envelop Jerome. This was a water-based healing spell called "Healing Water," which has the effects of stopping bleeding and restoring health. Using it at this time could help Jerome stabilize his injuries and prevent them from worsening.

Then he summoned the unicorns. All three unicorns were quite powerful, and although they had all been seriously injured in the previous battle, none of them had been lost.

Under Rosie's command, the three unicorns unleashed the unique healing spell "Light of Resurrection." Under the holy light, Jerome could clearly see his worsening wounds rapidly healing, and the gushing blood stopped.

With the combined effects of Healing Water and Rejuvenating Light—one water-based and one light-based—Jerome's injuries finally stabilized.

Next, Rosie took out a large glass container from her spatial ring, filled it with healing water, and then placed Jerome, who was essentially a mass of flesh and blood, into the glass container.

Luo Xi said to Angel, "Carry him into my laboratory and put him in there."

To completely heal Jerome's injuries, one or two spells are far from enough. At least a series of magical surgeries are needed, including a lot of organ transplantation and repair work. It cannot be completed in a day or two.

"Yes, okay, teacher."

Angel quickly summoned the last remaining minotaur, and with Kane's help, carefully carried Jerome to Rosie's laboratory.

However, one problem after another arose, and one bad thing after another happened.

Just as we stabilized Jerome's situation, a sailor from the cockpit came running over.

The sailor said anxiously, "Sir, Captain Leonard asked me to consult with you. The airship is no longer able to continue flying, and we need to land as soon as possible."

"Boom!"

As they were talking, the airship suddenly shook violently.

The airship was in very bad condition at the moment. Its hull was covered with charred and twisted cracks, and its once smooth skin was now like a tattered piece of cloth, swaying in the wind.

The hull was dented in many places, and some key components were even directly exposed, with the cold mechanical parts gleaming faintly in the night sky.

The damaged engine was still panting and roaring, billowing black smoke everywhere, and the plane was swaying as if it would crash at any moment.

In this condition, let alone flying, even a safe landing is questionable.

Rosie nodded and said, "Go tell Leonard to find a place to land as soon as possible." (End of Chapter)
