No one questioned me appearing in front of them so I just rushed and looked at Zieglind and Neco's condition. Neco's charred and burnt body is slowly regaining back its former form. But... as I looked at Helga's status, she's nearly running out of mana. But... healing magic shouldn't take that much mana. "Is there something wrong with Neco?"
"Yeah." Feran was the one who answered. "The flames that burnt Neco had a lingering curse which damages the affected by a percentage of their health the longer distance they've travelled."
"What? That never happened to me. I didn't feel anything when moving." I then glanced over my HP and I'm already at 70% health. When I barely got hit in that battle. "Wait what!?"
"Have you been also burnt by the manticore?"
"Yeah..."
"Stay a while there and don't move." Feran then checked my status. "Good. You're only at one stack of the debuff."
"One stack..?"
