Since transmigrating to the DanMachi World, Barbara had always existed as a supporting character, with Hyacine handling most external situations.
But that was fine. After all, compared to Hyacine, although Barbara also had an extraordinary appearance, she was indeed a bit plain...
Furthermore, in the game, Hyacine was a limited five-star character, while Barbara was a free four-star character; the gap between the two was indeed not small.
But even so, Barbara still lived up to the title of "Deliverer."
Though a four-star character, she possessed a terrifying power that even the five-star Hyacine did not have...
Resurrection!
Hyacine was only slightly inferior to Barbara in healing, but in terms of attack, she far surpassed her.
Little Ika could unleash destructive power with a bit of accumulated healing, but what attack methods did Barbara have?
A heavy strike?
Even if the damage was decent, Barbara's own stamina wasn't enough to support long-term combat; she would eventually run out of strength.
But what about Little Ika?
Her duration was definitely longer than Barbara's heavy strike!
In the game, "resurrection" was actually a very simple matter, sometimes even eating a fried egg could revive a character.
But that was a game, and this was reality; resurrection in the real world is much more troublesome than in a game.
The only subordinate of the great god Ouranos, the Sage Fels, possessed resurrection magic. However, even this Sage's magic only had a certain probability of success.
When used on others, the probability of success was minuscule; only a protagonist like Bell could raise the resurrection probability to one hundred percent.
And when the character Barbara transitioned from game to reality, how much did her skills change?
The answer was... not at all!
"Let me try, maybe I have a way to save Bete!"
Just as everyone in the Loki Familia showed expressions of deep grief, Barbara stepped out from the crowd and looked at Finn with a determined face.
"Barbara, at a time like this..."
Riveria's expression was solemn; she seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Finn beside her before she could finish.
"Barbara, you should know that Bete has lost all signs of life, yet you still say such things..."
"Does this mean you possess resurrection magic?"
Finn's title of "Braver" wasn't earned for nothing; it was the result of years of accumulation.
The wise Braver.
This was the impression Finn left on the public: a Dwarf who had reached the pinnacle of Adventurers through his intelligence.
When Barbara stepped out from the crowd, Finn immediately understood the cause and effect; if she didn't possess Resurrection Magic, it simply wouldn't make sense.
Furthermore, Barbara was also someone who held the title of "Deliverer."
But ever since she and Hyacine joined the Loki Familia, only Hyacine had displayed unprecedented talent, being able to turn healing into attacks. But what about Barbara?
This blonde girl didn't seem to have revealed anything other than her healing abilities. Although her healing ability was stronger than Hyacine's, it didn't seem to be that much stronger.
So, following this line of reasoning, Barbara definitely possessed potential no less than Hyacine's; it was just a matter of knowing in which direction it lay.
Now he was certain: it was resurrection!
Because the girls' status plates were obscured, they had only briefly introduced their powers. Something as heaven-defying as resurrection would naturally not be easily spoken of, even to Finn.
That was why, until now, Finn had only just guessed at the existence of Resurrection Magic.
Finn's words caused the Loki Familia members, who had been somewhat confused, to widen their eyes immediately. This was the first time they had truly turned their attention to this blonde girl.
Because Barbara often appeared together with Hyacine, most people would focus their gaze on that rainbow-like girl, Hyacine, thereby reducing their attention on Barbara.
But now, with Hyacine having fallen into a coma after her rampage ended, and Bete having suffered grave injuries and his heart having stopped... when Barbara stepped forward, it naturally forced people to pay attention to her.
And when Finn stated his hypothesis, the Loki Familia members widened their eyes even further.
Resurrection?
Did we hear that right?
Resurrection?
Everyone looked at each other; they seemed to have heard a major secret.
Adventurers died in Orario every day, but no one ever brought up the idea of resurrection, because in the eyes of the mortals of the Lower World, this was the realm of the gods, a taboo that mortals could absolutely not touch.
But now?
Barbara actually possessed magic that could resurrect people?
Should one say that she truly lives up to the title of "Deliverer"?
Because the information they had received was truly counter-intuitive, everyone in the Loki Familia remained silent, simply waiting quietly for Barbara's reply.
Amidst everyone's expectant gazes, the blonde girl nodded slightly, admitting that she indeed possessed Resurrection Magic.
"Great! Bete can be saved!"
"Long live Barbara! Resurrection Magic!"
The cheers of the crowd erupted at this moment; the members of the Loki Familia, who had been keeping their nerves on edge, and even Finn, Gareth, and Riveria, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
If it was Resurrection Magic, then that was truly wonderful!
Bete could be saved!
"Everyone who can move, get into the previous defensive formation. You must protect the injured members. If the Dungeon spawns monsters again, you must prevent them from approaching Barbara."
"Start now!"
The first sentence was an instruction to the Loki Familia members, while the latter was directed at Barbara, asking her to immediately use Resurrection Magic to revive Bete to avoid any further complications.
"I understand!"
The members of the Loki Familia quickly dispersed, keeping a vigilant eye on the surrounding walls to prevent any monsters from appearing.
But most of them still kept a portion of their focus on the girl dressed in white.
They had expected the girl to chant a long spell, after all, in the minds of Adventurers, the more powerful the magic, the longer the chant.
But the Barbara they saw simply clasped her hands together and hummed an unknown tune...
"♪ Hmmm-hmm-hmm ~ Hmmm-hmm-hmm ♪"
"Resurrection Magic"—this thing, which in the eyes of mortals was equivalent to divine authority—was expected to be extremely complex, perhaps even requiring a long recitation of unknown words. But now?
Barbara hadn't said anything at all; she had simply hummed a song, and an unprecedented white light erupted from Bete's body, healing the large hole in his stomach in an instant.
"Resurrect, my partner!"
From humming the tune to saying that phrase, it hadn't even taken 10 seconds. Barbara had made the corpse of Bete on the ground wake up again, and he had even recovered quite a bit of stamina.
And Bete, upon opening his eyes, was completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.
The surrounding crowd was equally dumbfounded, even the three Level 6 Adventurers, who were completely unable to understand why...
"That... that's it?"
"Yeah, isn't Bete resurrected?"
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple!"
Looking at the expressions of those around her, Barbara revealed a sweet smile, as if the Resurrection Magic just now wasn't worth mentioning... because in Barbara's eyes, a 15-minute countdown had appeared.
Oh my, my Resurrection Magic has entered cooldown... for a whole 15 minutes!
