172 The Heroes Intervene

“Shade, we have to stop her!” said Allan.
“No, she’s already at her limit.” Said Shade.
The two friends looked at Ninhursag as she suddenly was enveloped in a bright white light, her transformation was dispelled due to the lack of Mana, and she ended over the floor unconscious and very weakened.
There were many wounds over her body, some seemed almost lethal to her. All the wounds she received from the monsters she fought ended transferring over to her human body, now that she lacked the same stamina and body size as these monsters, these wounds became way bigger and prominent, and might endanger her life if she was left behind like this.
“She did this to save our children, let’s go bring her back to the village.” Said Shade.
“Yeah, let me close her wounds. I cannot treat them well because they seem to be quite bad, but I can use the flames I have mastered to cauterize them.” Said Allan.
Shade looked as Allan waved his hands over Ninhursag’s body, slowly closing her wounds by cauterizing them with his magic flames, his hands slowly caressed her beautiful and feminine body, making Allan blush a bit as he tried to not think anything weird, he had a wife now so he couldn’t possibly eye another woman, even if this woman was nude in front of him as he touched her body!
“Gods, protect me from this woman’s attributes...” he sighed internally, as he suppressed his lust to the extremes and managed to close her wounds successfully.
.....
“Hmm, you enjoyed touching her, didn’t you?” asked Shade with an expressionless face.
“Eh?! Ah...! I did it to save her! Don’t tell Faylen about this...” Asked Allan.
Shade sighed as he looked to the opposite direction and began to walk through the forest. He seemed to pretend he had not seen anything at all, and had already turned off the fire around the place, so the flames wouldn’t spread.
Allan noticed that Shade then stopped and looked back at him with his aquamarine eyes, his expressionless face seemed as expressionless as ever though.
“I didn’t saw anything.” He said.
Allan was suddenly filled with a feeling of gratefulness. He had truly done this only to save Ninhursag from bleeding but knew that Faylen would make a fuss out of it, she was a very jealous woman.
“Shade... you’re really a good friend...” Sighed Allan.
He felt relieved he had such a good friend with him, from the many that had fallen in the war, Shade remained alive all the way to the end, at his side, like a good bro.
“Don’t think about it and let’s move.” Said Shade uninterested in Allan’s strange antics, he simply wanted to move back to the village.
“Oh, right! Wait, what about the goblin hideout?” asked Allan.
The goblin hideout was where the goblins would had originated from, Allan and Shade had originally come here to defeat the goblins and find their hideout, but it seemed that Ninhursag had destroyed their entire army already.
“Right...” said Shade. He had bad memory actually, and Nepheline always had to remind him of his own birthday and that of her. Of course, he was such a dedicated father that he never forgets the day his daughter was born though.
“I guess we should leave it to our summons, we need to go back to attend her wounds and protect the village, we don’t know what else might happen.” Said Allan.
“I agree. Let’s do some summons then... Sending spirits here would be a waste though, so summons alone should do....” Said Shade.
Summoning Magic was a powerful advanced form of Magic that was made through the ancient Creation Magic combined with any element, or many. The Heroes had all learned Creation Magic of Tier 3 at most and were able to perform the creation of entities made entirely out of elements, Summons.
These Summons were different from Familiars as they were expendable, although they cost a lot of Mana, they’re capable of dying after a few strong hits, and would dissipate into elemental magic smoke after dying, without leaving true physical bodies behind.
To make strong Summons, it was necessary to use materials and catalysts, but the two were in a hurry, so they decided to make a couple of powerful ones merging their magic and powers together.
The two heroes unleashed rivers of darkness and flames from their bodies, as the two rivers of magic entangled with one another.
“Summon Guardian!” the two said at the same time, as a magic circle emerged around them, and a handful of beings made entirely out of magic surged.
They resembled random animals, wolves, birds, snakes, bears, and lions made of black flames. Despite their simplistic appearances, they looked powerful, exuding at least the strength of Tier 6 monsters.
“Now go, chase any clues that lead to the goblin camp.” Said Allan.
The Summons quickly moved across the jungle, chasing down the scent of the goblins towards their hideout.
Meanwhile, Allan and Shade decided to quickly move back to the village of the Amazon Tribe, finding everyone being okay there.
Allan brought the wounded Ninhursag with his arms, his daughter and the other children seemed discouraged after seeing her unconscious and covered in freshly cauterized wounds.
“She’s really bad, can you do something?” asked Allan to Faylen.
“Yeah, I think I can, bring her to the tent!” said Faylen.
Sylphy looked at Ninhursag unconscious state as she wondered how much did she battle to end like this... she was a powerful woman, but how powerful? Even the strongest of people in this world was fragile at the end when their energy ran out...
“Nin...” she sighed.
The woman was placed over a bed, and Faylen began healing her intensively, the children looked at the woman nervously as they seemed very worried about her.
Allan petted his daughter’s head as he smiled back at her.
“Don’t worry, she’s going to be alright.” He said.
“I hope so...” sighed Sylphy.
