In this world, there is no injury that truly incapacitates; as long as one is willing to pay the price, they can restore themselves to their peak condition.
The Mist Monastery does not lack High Tier Priests, and helping him recover from his injuries requires no cost.
Yet Morton refused assistance from others, insisting on retaining his injuries.
In his younger days, he was almost obsessively devoted to enhancing his strength, believing that only by keeping these scars could he better improve his power.
Although he has since given up his strong obsession with power growth, he still has not healed his injuries.
The elderly Paladin has long grown accustomed to these scars.
Now, he seems more like a greatsword whose edge has been dulled by countless fierce battles.
A weighty sword with no edge, subtlety and craft at play.
So, is Morton truly at a disadvantage now?
Though Zoira might not want to accept it, the fact is... it's not really so.
