Healing System

[Amanda's POV]

It was just a regular day where all she had to do was sit around and pretend to work, yet for some reason, she felt that the mana was a bit more active than usual.

Amanda had met up with her father a few days ago and told him about her decision to send Michael to the other world.

Even though it was for a short duration, she believed he could make good use of it.

'I wonder where someone like him came from..' Amanda leaned back in her chair further, thinking about the abnormality that was Michael.

Ever since he first arrived in the city, he stirred up the people and the government, they were pretty reliant on him because he was a Saint and not a stupid one at that.

Though after he disappeared, she found a replacement, that being Tony, a terrible healer and not exactly a great person, but with enough intimidation, even idiots can be tamed.

She was a bit shocked at how her father reacted to the news though, it seemed he was quite fond of Michael, when he first disappeared and reappeared, his energy was at its peak.

But for some reason, he seemed a bit worried after she told him about Michael being sent to another world for a short duration.

That's why he also headed there after him. It seemed like a bit of an overkill, but it's not like her father had anything to do at the moment, his position has been stripped due to the passage of time.

The only thing that remained was his strength, as ever since being healed, it slowly returned, he was nearly at the peak he once reached.

As Amanda was lost in her thoughts, nearly falling asleep, she suddenly couldn't feel anything from the outside.

She usually had her senses expanded over the whole city, yet at the current moment, that connection was severed seamlessly.

'...' Amanda didn't waste any time and smashed through the window behind her, freefalling out of the building before stopping herself in the middle of the air.

A few individuals appeared and all of a sudden, a transparent black dome appeared around them, completely blocking off the view from inside the dome.

All she could see were 3 people who seemed abnormally strong for being of this realm, it wouldn't take a genius to deduce that they were not from here.

The 3 of them looked a bit odd upon closer look, their skin color was different, they all had a deep crimson shade and they were completely bald,

However, the most surprising feature of them all was the single black horn on their heads and a single pale white dot on their forehead that did not stand out as much.

But nonetheless, she believed it was important, unless they just had some kind of birth defect.

'Hm...' Amanda stared at them intently and tried sensing their Tier, however, it seemed like they were hiding it thoroughly.

She herself was a Tier 6, however, it didn't seem like they were that far off either, maybe Tier 5?

There were a total of 20 known Tiers, with her father achieving a pretty high Tier, not exactly at the very top, but still considered strong amongst many.

However, according to him, there were many beings that could not be fathomed, where even Tiers did not do their strength justice.

Amanda was young at the time, so she thought he was bluffing, dismissing the potential of someone or something like that existing.

But as she grew older, the possibility seemed more and more possible, she had been to the other realms and saw many strong beings, some of which even rivaled her father in terms of strength.

Nonetheless, it was not the time for her to worry about them, there were enemies in front of her that had to be eliminated.

However, as the stalemate grew longer and longer, the black dome suddenly began shaking, causing her to feel slightly uneasy as some of the mana from outside the dome had leaked inside.

'Something is happening..' She concluded and gazed at the weird looking people, from their appearance, she could assume they were some kind of demons.

Amanda had never been to hell or any demonic region, however, from the texts she has read, most of the demons looked similar, with the high ranking ones possessing special features.

Taking another glance at them, she deduced that they were definitely not high otherwise, they would not enjoy being bald.

She suddenly raised her hand, forming a small wind blade that kept condensing before disappearing.

However, it only looked like that to the naked eye, as in the next moment the 3 demons got into position and blocked her attack.

'Annoying..' She complained and looked at their solid defense, if they weren't together, she could kill them pretty easily.

Amanda summoned a few more invisible wind blades and spoke "Why are you doing this?"

She was not expecting to receive a response, however, one of them quickly replied "Where is the child of shadows?"

"Child of shadows? What are you even talking about?" She asked and thought about who it could be.

'Michael..? No.. he uses light.. then...' Amanda stopped as she finally figured out who they might be talking about.

It was one of the more promising academy students, he is as strong as the teachers and could definitely create a Mana Core within the next few years.

"His name is Kevin, hand him over and we will spare the city" One of the demons said while maintaining their defensive stance.

It seemed like they were not completely stupid, they knew that if they went on the offensive, they would most likely perish.

The strength difference grew wider with each new Tier an individual achieved, they could not win even if they tried.

"You would spare the city? How? By stalling until I exhaust myself?" Amanda taunted and enhanced herself with the wind, quickly reappearing behind one of them and slashed, coming into contact with their triple defense once again.

She stepped back and frowned, a dark green mana began enveloping her before combining with her wind blades.

"Block this"

At Amanda's words and the slightly confused expression of the demons, a single wind blade emerged, its color was dark green and it did not seem that ominous.

They attempted to block it the same way, however, much to their surprise, the attack was not as simple as it looked.

On the outside, it looked like a darker colored wind blade, but once it reached them, specifically their defenses, it began melting their skin.

'Finally some progress' She sighed and cast a few more of them, these demons were truly a bothersome bunch.

Not strong, but not exactly weak either, in the very middle, being completely annoying.

This was the ability from her father's side, it turned her mana into the Poison affinity, it was pretty rare to have more than one but due to her bloodline, she had both wind and poison.

Amanda did not like using it often as she still hadn't mastered it completely yet, the mana consumption was way too high.

'Though it did get the job done' She stared at the demons who had shocked expressions plastered on their faces while their bodies were slowly melting until eventually, they were dead.

The fight hadn't taken that long, only a few minutes, it would have been much faster if they hadn't been so resilient, even with her poison, it took them longer than it should have to melt.

As the last of their bodies disappeared, the dome finally fell and what greeted her eyes was the sight of multiple mushrooms and fires all over the inner part of the city.

She could vaguely tell from inside the dome that something was happening, as the fight had been going on, the demons were looking around for something.

And it seemed like one of them did find something, however, shortly after, Amanda killed all of them.

A few of the buildings fell, the citizens were screaming for help, it was complete chaos.

She could also see some kind of imp looking monsters all over the ground, they were all low level but the sheer amount of them was certainly troublesome.

Amanda breathed out a deep sigh and descended from the sky.

She was technically the leader of this city, and as one, she would protect its citizens.

'This is what I get for dozing off...'
