"Hmm... I guess this is the path those guys used," Rain thought. "Still, is that all?"
Rain wondered if that tribe that fought unarmed would only reach that far using the system... it was also weird since all paths that led to that one were physical... then Rain recalled that he was nowhere near their level in terms of healing skills.
Considering the bonuses in parameters, it made sense that such a path wouldn't grant him those crazy healing skills. In any case, Rain decided to equip that path and train it as soon as possible. Also, considering its current level, he could only assume that the technique that he learned recently wasn't part of it.
"No traces of their previous appearance.... Well, let's see if some people can check their blood or something for any signs of the transformation," Rain thought and then erected an earth block to put the bodies in.
After resting for a bit and eating something, Rain was informed that the horses and the wagon were ready, and soon, he traveled to Retia alongside some soldiers. He thought that he had gotten closer to the soldiers stationed there, but they looked at him like he was some sort of weird creature.
"Well, it is fine... more time for me to meditate and recover my mana, anyway," Rain thought.
The group reached Retia in the middle of the night, but since the Captain sent the word ahead through a raven, they still entered the city. The guards opened the gate, and they were guided to the building where a healer lived.
"Now that I think about it, I wonder if they will make a mess out of the Bodies... medicine in this world shouldn't be that advanced, so the autopsy will be a bloody mess," Rain thought.
Just as Rain expected, the doctor who was going to do the autopsy was an old man who had a look in his eyes that showed that he had the worst job in the world. At least it looked like that... Rain wondered if he always had that look or if it was thanks to the war.
A bunch of the bodies of the magic people were studied during and after the war; seeing corpses day and night shouldn't be that good for one's mental health. Opening and closing them should make things even worse.
In any case, Rain and the soldiers were guided to the nearest inn, where they had to wait until the autopsy was finished. When morning came, Rain confirmed that the job was far from over, so he decided to look around the city... a good part of the place had been destroyed last month. Still, not it was mainly back to normal. Some houses were empty, but people were slowly moving in.
In the end, Rain had to wait for two days for the autopsy to end. Still, it looked like they got some results.
"Their bodies, at first glance, don't look like they have anything special, but I found signs of some sort of mutation in some of them. It seems that they can't maintain that form for long without becoming real beasts." The doctor explained. "It is quite risky considering the power that they obtained."
