Nar and Sas!
Nar and Sas!
They come! They come! Even though my body feels weak, and even though I can barely see them because of my dizziness and the rain obscuring my vision, I can tell where they are as I immediately fly towards them. Nar quickly embraces me and Sas takes a quick look at my condition.
"This damn bracelet! Cursed them to death!" [Nar]
Nar, using only brute force, simply remove the bracelet. I thought the bracelet would explode or something, or maybe even worse, like electrocuting and burning the wearer and those who remove it without authorization. Maybe it is, because I can tell that it tried to harm Nar, but Nar being Nar, he just doesn't care and destroys the bracelet with his grip. Such a powerful grip...
"I stopped the bleeding. Jean, please continue to treat her" [Sas].
"It's okay! Look at the others first!" [Diana]
"Don't worry. There are healers among us. You're just as important to us" [Jean]
Entrusting me to Jean, they quickly prepare themselves and begin to control the situation. It's a chaotic situation. There are monsters, especially that ferocious-looking behemoth that's hard to control. There's the bad guy, the strong looking guy, and the guy from Aru Village. The one that were captured tries to escape with the help of the Hanging Treant and the other, but their condition makes it difficult. The raging thunderstorm doesn't help either. It's chaos, with screams of bloodlust, screams of pain and sadness all around. The forest is afraid, as are many others.
Jean starts to treat my wound. She is filled with anger as she sees the full extent of my injuries. I didn't even realize I had a wound above my scalp. My raccoon eyes are still there. My skin, there are burning and electrical marks, like a thunderbolt hitting me all over my body. There are also bruises that can be seen, some lighter blue than others. She tried her best to control her emotions while treating me, but I can tell. She's also really angry.
"I'm .... I'm sorry... Please don't be angry" [Diana].
"It's... It's okay. It's not your fault" [Jean].
She might think I am scared right now. Probably a little. It's a scary situation when I can catch my breath and think carefully. It's dark, and what's worse, the smell of blood is everywhere. The children's screams as the knights and adventurers tried to calm them down didn't help either.
"Don't you dare approach them!" [Savel]
Mr. Savel, who's currently protecting all of us being treated, begins to swing his mace with all his might. With his Dragonewt blood, he has evolved into a higher Ice Mirage variant of a dragon. His scales are much larger and sharper and it emits cold mana. He grows taller, probably twice of his initial size. His eye becomes that of a lizard, perhaps trying to become that of a dragon. All of his fangs are larger, and from his mouth comes a breath of ice and mirage mana. His howl alone paralyzes his opponent, as the goblins, orcs, and bad guys tremble in fear, and not just because of the mirage magic that causes it. No, it's his appearance alone and his sheer strength that causes it, the mirage mana only amplifying it. His mighty swing not only tears limbs and torso apart, it sends them flying.
"I'm scared"
"It's going to be fine!"
"We are save, so hang in there"
I can tell he's protecting us as well as the others, but judging by their reaction, they're having a hard time calming down. As Jean tries to bandage my wound, I stand up and begin to cast my spell.
"Wind barrier! Protect us from the rain and scream" [Diana].
I create a large dome out of my wind magic. Inside, I make sure that not only the rain and the sound of the scream can't get past it, but I also make it so that any stray arrow or spell can't get to us. I also tell the small animals that are afraid to come and take shelter. To make it more comfortable for all of us, I spread some light fire mana and make sure it's warm inside the wind dome.
"Diana. You should rest and leave everything to us" [Jean].
"I know, but I wanted to help more" [Diana]
"You've done more than enough, believe me" [Jean]
"No, there's something else I wanted to do" [Diana]
"And what is that?" [Jean]
"I wanted to beat that guy from Aru Village by myself!" [Diana]
"!" [Jean]
