Death… And Me

Chapter 1282 – Sixth Form

Sure enough, the bad cases from the war were separate from the others so that both groups wouldn't see each other. Here, it looked like true hell, with many corpses being carried out every minute. "Now, this looks a lot more like a war."

Unsurprisingly, Rean could barely see any other healing and physician cultivators. He couldn't help but think to himself, 'This is so different from Earth. There, those with the heaviest injuries would take first priority. Here, on the other hand, they're left to die as they can't contribute anymore.'

Hakzuax then pointed ahead, saying, "Go and do your job. If you're really able to heal them completely, then I'll give you the maximum amount of war points for a healing cultivator, seven points each. Otherwise, if you can only stabilize them so that they won't die but still end up crippled and unable to help in the war, I'll just give you one point each. The cultivators on the previous healing field would usually make two or three points per healed person. Let's see if you can do better than them with these extreme cases."

Rean smiled in response, muttering, "Seems like I hit the jackpot."

However, Rean was surprised to see that Hakzuax followed him. "Why are you coming with me?"

Hakzuax looked at him and snorted in response. "Following you? Ha! You think too highly of yourself. I'm also attending these people here, idiot!" Hakzuax then turned in another direction after they reached those gravely injured cultivators and immediately began to work on them. A gentle type of Water Element gathered around him before changing into some kind of green liquid that entered the body of one of those cultivators.

In an instant, Rean saw the huge difference in cultivation between himself and Hakzuax. Whatever healing skill he was using definitely wasn't as good as his own. Nevertheless, Hakzuax made up for it with his high cultivation and experience alone. Then again, it was the same thing for Rean. It was much faster for him to heal someone with lower cultivation than healing someone far above himself.

Rean saw the guy's injuries stabilize and close up almost as fast as his own skill. However, when it came to growing limbs, it was extremely slow. While Rean took a few minutes, Hakzuax would definitely take hours.

Unfortunately, Hakzuax didn't continue after the guy's injuries had stabilized. His patient had one of his legs missing, but Hakzuax didn't try to fix it even though Rean knew he could do so. Instead, he looked at Rean after noticing his gaze, saying, "What? Do you think I'll spend my time healing their severed limbs, broken eyes, missing organs, things like that? No can do. If I do that, many people I could have saved will die. Instead, I'd rather save as many as possible, even if I don't fix their bodies. Now, stop looking at me and go back to work."

At that moment, Rean's opinion of Hakzuax had increased many times. After that, he looked around and sighed. 'I'm such an idiot. I said I wanted to come and help them, but I was only thinking about the War Points in the end. Even if I only take a few minutes to regrow a limb, an eye, or any other body part, that also means I'm letting many others die. I could definitely save many more if I didn't go for it.'

Rean then touched the cultivator by his side and began to do the same thing as Hakzuax.

'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!'

The injuries of that person immediately began to close as fast as Hakzuax's patient did. However, Rean only saved his life. As for any missing part of the guy's body, Rean completely ignored it. 'You will have to deal with it yourself,' he thought.

Hakzuax, who was already working on someone else, noticed Rean's sudden change of attitude and faintly smiled. 'Hehe… you're not bad at all, brat.'

The normal healing ability wasn't hard for Rean to work with, so he could also occupy his mind with something else, like talking with Roan about the rewards list. 'Did you see the price of the teleport formations?'

Roan, who was receiving training before joining the war front, nodded in response. Well, he didn't really need that, but he didn't cause trouble as he only aimed for War Points. 'I saw. It asks for three thousand War Points to teleport from one city to another. I also took the chance to check the map we got in Optigo City, and there are 179 cities between this place and the area outside the war zone.'

Rean agreed with Roan, saying, 'Lo and behold, we need 537000 War Points to leave this war behind! The problem is that we need to avoid the enemy alliance, so we're forced to go around with the teleports. Otherwise, the price would be a lot lower. There are no rewards for a single long-distance teleport, though.'

'It can't be helped.' Roan didn't find it surprising. 'Teleport formations that send you far away will need Rank Two Divine Stones, and it's not worth it for the powers behind the war to allow that to happen. We'll have to get enough points to leave the place at once by teleporting through each city.'

Rean couldn't help but ask, 'By the way, how many points do you get with each kill?'

It depends on the cultivation,' Roan replied. 'Only one point for anyone below the Saint Realm. Also, that's only valid for those at the Soul Transformation Realm. If I kill anyone at the Nascent Soul Realm or below, I won't get anything. They did that on purpose so that others wouldn't start a massacre for War Points while they forget the stronger cultivators on the enemy's side. I have to admit it's a good idea.'

Rean nodded in response. 'I see. And what about people at your own realm or above?'

Roan continued, 'Same thing. However, the number of points I get increases at each minor stage. I'm at the Initial Stage, so killing anyone at the same level as myself gives me ten points. There is an increase of ten points for each minor stage. So, Middle Stage gives 20 points, Late Stage 30 points, and Peak Stage gives 40 points.'

'However, if I kill anyone an entire realm above myself, that would give me 100 points straight away. Each minor stage above the Initial Stage gives another 100 points. So, an Elemental Transformation Realm Initial Stage gives me 100 points, MiddleStage is 200, and so on. They didn't mark down how much you can gain by killing someone two realms above you as they don't believe you can do such a thing on your own.' In any case, Roan wouldn't try to attack someone at the Transition Realm. After all, he wasn't suicidal.

'What about you?' Roan asked back.

Rean told him he was only getting a single point for each heal. However, Roan didn't seem to care. 'Naiveness has always been part of your personality. Whatever… just heal as many people as possible. With your healing speed, you might gain more points than me in the end.'

Rean smiled in response, saying, 'Hehe, so you do know.'

Rean knew Roan's strength, especially since he would be pared against average cultivators. He was bound to make many, many points, so Rean decided to go all out. How could he let Roan make more points than him?

Suddenly, a huge burst of Light Element came from Rean's body, covering hundreds of cultivators at once.

'Life Style, Sixth Form, Healing Aura!'
