97: Chapter 89 Gnawing_3 97: Chapter 89 Gnawing_3 Healing Minor Injuries. With an experimental mindset, Anna simply cast the most basic healing spell. The pure healing energy, when injected into the Dog Demon’s body, was like a ladle of cool water thrown into a pot of boiling oil—the scene was better left unmentioned. The Dog Demon, which hadn’t even grunted when Gaven chopped off its limb with his longsword as if it were a bone, began howling and rolling all over the place. Plumes of black smoke billowed from inside out. The positive energy that constituted the healing spells was essentially in conflict with the nature of the Dog Demon’s power. Entering its body, it not only failed to heal but actually scorched its flesh and soul. This pain was incomparable to mere physical suffering. The side effects of Anna’s healing spells didn’t manifest this time, as they had failed to achieve any healing in the first place, thus naturally there were no side effects. “It’s that powerful?” Anna was taken aback that her healing spell could have such an effect, clearly beyond her expectations. Searᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Having no psychological burden toward such an ugly demon creature, Anna swiftly recited the prayers and rained healing spells down upon the Dog Demon. If the effects of Healing Minor Injuries were so formidable, then even more so were those from spells with a higher concentration of positive energy. After much rolling around, the Dog Demon lay drenched in sweat, utterly exhausted, motionless on the ground. From the beginning to the end, it refused to reveal its True Name of Devils. Getting a devil to reveal its true name is not a simple matter by any stretch. For the time being, Gaven was at a loss with the Dog Demon, so this time he plunged the Magic Longsword directly near its heart, planning to bring it back to the Blackwell Tribe first. The goods that Klay had prepared to trade with the Goblin were naturally taken in full by Gaven and hauled back to the Blackwell Tribe. In total, there were twenty-two heavy carts, twenty of which were loaded with preserved grains that were of even better quality than what the caravan had brought to the Blackwell Tribe. It wasn’t clear whether it was an intentional act to earn the trust of the Goblin Tribe or simply that they couldn’t collect so many spoiled grains at once. In any case, it caused Gaven’s cheeks to twitch several times. The other two carts contained weapons and equipment suitable for small-stature races, and what Gaven valued most among them was the hundred Single-Arm Crossbows and more than three thousand Crossbow Arrows inside. It wasn’t difficult to procure a few Single-Arm Crossbows, but such a large quantity was a different story. This type of weapon could significantly enhance the combat power of a tribe in a short period, even a Goblin Tribe. If the goblins from the Spirit Crystal Mine got their hands on this pile of equipment, Gaven would definitely have trouble sleeping well in the short term. This was the main reason why Gaven didn’t spare Klay even in death, allowing the Dog Demon to gnaw on his corpse—if Klay had pushed things to the extreme himself, then he couldn’t blame Gaven for disregarding any past friendship. Upon returning to the Blackwell Tribe, Gaven immediately distributed the hundred Single-Arm Crossbows. Each member of the Erde Squadron led by Captain Bark received one, along with thirty Crossbow Arrows as their reward for this battle. The Erde Squadron played a pivotal role in this capture of the unfaithful. It was precisely because of their aerial superiority, combined with Cangya’s Mist Concealment Technique, that they managed to follow Andy undetected and play him like a pawn. Through this collaboration, Captain Bark had to reassess Gaven and his Blackwell Tribe. Gaven’s use of tactics, grasp of timing, and diverse magic combinations were far beyond what Bark could compare to. Who could have imagined that a first-level spell-like ability like the Mist Concealment Technique could allow their entire Erde Squadron to hide in the air, unnoticed? And who could have thought that goblin sorcerers dragged by the Erde could cast the Fireball Technique from the air to bombard the ground? And who could have expected a simple Ventriloquism to confuse the Goblin Wolf Riders and make them charge at their own allies unwittingly? Before this, Captain Bark would never have thought of such possibilities. Gaven had opened a whole new door for him, showing that battles could be fought in such ways. Initially, Captain Bark had only held a 30% hope for Gaven’s plan to clear out the Harpies at Eagle Cliff, but now that hope had grown to 60%. If he were in charge, he was sure to bring some unique flair to the operation. No sooner had Gaven’s men brought back Klay’s carts to the Blackwell Tribe, the grain previously sold to the Goblin Tribe was being transported back. Gaven’s forces split into two groups. For the other group, Gaven only sent Hou and fifty Gnoll soldiers. The other goblins of the Spirit Crystal Mine were unaware of Andy’s plan; with Hou’s formidable deterrence actually present, a Half-Ogre only needed to catch up and roar to scatter the goblins transporting the grain.
