Quick Transmigration: Goddess Of My Imagination

Chapter 89: Bitter Facts of Healing Magic

"Hoho... That's amazing, Elysia. Not only talented at one go but you are also talented in teaching your friend. It is really appreciated."

Alexander nods and strokes his beard with understanding. He knew very well that Elysia was more talented than his granddaughter from this incident alone.

It took Ella over three hours to find the right feeling and it took her to use healing magic the first time she used this magic, but Elysia was only fleeting and capable.

"Thank you, Grandpa. Eve, now you try to use healing magic one more time and we'll see if you are proficient." Elysia smiled and patted her friend on the back to signal that the cuddling session was over.

"En." Evelyn took her hug from Elysia to try practicing healing magic once again.

Alexander immediately made one more small wound on the little rabbit for Evelyn to heal. Although she still failed twice, she finally managed to cure the rabbit on the third try. This time, Evelyn was already adept at using healing magic at the most basic level.

For the next lesson, Alexander presented the theory and knowledge needed in holy magic, especially on life magic. He didn't want to rush to teach too much holy magic because he was worried that the burden on the bodies of these two young girls would suffer a loss.

Alexander conveyed how to heal internal wounds, curses, poisons, and diseases. Although all required a deeper understanding of the subject matter of the problem, it did broaden the horizons of their knowledge after being explained by the Pope directly.

Especially Elysia who has a different way of magic and approach. She could use her advanced perception into her vision to find out the source of the problem and solve it easily, knowledge and theory were the things she needed the most for magic from her imagination.

"But keep in mind, life magic is very dangerous if you use it for bad things. I will hunt you down if you dare to do it, understand?"

Alexander did not forget to give a warning after his long explanation and story. The two innocent girls who were just learning new knowledge quickly nodded their heads repeatedly.

"Grandfather, don't scare my two cute juniors. They are good girls. Mother once told me that only good people can use life magic." Ella defended her two juniors.

"Yes, only a kind and a noble-hearted person can use life magic to the highest level but not everyone has it, only the chosen ones. Do you know why I call that life magic can be dangerous and requires great responsibility if you have reached a certain level?" Alexander rolled his eyes at his granddaughter.

"Please enlighten these inexperienced little girls, Grandpa." Elysia smiled lightly, she really wanted to know.

"Sure. Just imagine at the level someone can control the blood, nerves, brain, or other body parts. Do you know what I'm trying to say?" Alexander smiled mysteriously and caused the girls to gulp their saliva, including Ella who didn't know yet because she hadn't asked.

"They, they can kill people silently without evidence? Mind control? Oh no, they can make zombies too..." Elysia muttered blankly.

"Well I don't know what zombies you mentioned but it could happen even though no cases were found but that doesn't rule out all possibilities. Hoho... Don't put on a scared face like that, even I can't control other people's minds."

Alexander slightly scratched his head awkwardly as girls looked at him suspiciously and one girl was terrified. He knew that suspicious look that already thought he could control other people's minds.

"Phew, I'm glad to hear that, grandfather. So that's the only possibility that could happen." Ella put her hand on her upper chest and let out a sigh of relief.

"Of course, what kind of grandfather do you have in your mind filled with rainbows?" Alexander snorted helplessly.

"Hehe... The all-round grandfather. You can do too many impossible things." Ella giggled happily, trying to comfort her grandfather after mistaking it with a scared expression.

"Besides that, life magic can also affect the surrounding nature and then living things other than humans such as plants, and animals, or even other races. But it all requires a much deeper understanding."

The girls immediately nodded in understanding at the additional explanation and one girl there was happy that she joined this class. She really got something new that she could do, namely life magic.

"Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you a big secret in healing magic. Did you already know? Ella, you already know don't raise your hand." Alexander remembered something very important but was overlooked.

Ella who was excited to raise her hand slightly immediately became the slightly pouted Ella.

Elysia and Evelyn looked at each other and shook their heads at Alexander. Even the former who had spent the night in the Holy Library for three days didn't get any clues of what she had read on this topic.

"This is an open secret for everyone who can use healing magic. In healing, our magical energy will support and help the patient's body to heal from their injuries or illnesses. But it is not without cause and effect."

Alexander paced back and forth as if he was building tension on the two clueless girls then continued his explanation.

"Indirectly, we have made the body to heal much faster from wounds, and diseases that should be difficult to heal normally with herbs and medicines alone. The payoff is that it will erode the person's lifespan depending on the severity."

Alexander's last sentence shocked Elysia so much, she tried not to glance at Vanessa for now. If that's true, then she has pretty badly eroded her lifespan because of the incident in Avrora Forest.

He felt it was natural that these two girls who had just become Deacon would feel this kind of shock, he didn't know what Elysia was thinking right now. She is currently discussing with Elena on this topic.

"Grandpa, is it absolute? Isn't there a way to restore them to how they were? Is there always such a risk?" Elysia immediately asked after reaching a decision with Elena.

"Hmm... Yes, there is no other way. They can only continue to get stronger by leveling up so that their life energy can cover their lost lifespan. Including us in healing ourselves with healing magic."

"Isn't that too, too much? If we heal someone then we are indirectly bringing them closer to death? We are also included if we use it for ourselves?" Evelyn stammered a little after escaping her shock.

"It's a law of nature, Evelyn. We don't have the power for that, maybe only the gods know the solution. In fact, we can also sacrifice our life energy to heal someone who is beyond help. I really don't recommend that, understand?"

Alexander couldn't help but have to tell the bitter facts of healing magic, facts that were not known to the public but were known to healers and some circles.

Elysia and Evelyn nodded with slightly sad expressions but for different reasons. Ella could only let them go through it and digest it all first, as she did when she was told for the first time two years ago.

"How do we know someone who has their lifespan eroded due to healing?" Elysia looked at Alexander's face for a moment with hope.

"Nothing changes if it's a normal wound but it will show when they are seriously injured or have a serious illness. With proper and successful healing methods, they will still lose a number of their abilities such as strength, stamina, speed, even the level drops... There is no definite answer but it does exist after hundreds of years of studies."

"In that case, how badly will a person who is close to death lose his lifespan if we help him with healing magic and succeed?"

"Maybe their level will drop by a quarter to half from the initial level and then their entire body's abilities will drop the same."

Alexander answered Elysia's question after thinking for a moment. He likes to enlighten clueless but curious people, that way they won't get lost in the future.
