The reason is simple.

He talked nonsense about a dragon already being dead.

Of course, if left alone, she would have died, but she didn’t.

The fact that they think she’s dead means they must have ordered her death. The culprit who gave the order is convinced of her death.

That guy Veint over there is confusing the words ‘tried to kill’ and ‘killed’.

“A dead Red Dragon? How are you so sure about that when you’ve just shown up?”

El pinpointed that and asked Nies. It was highly suspicious.

Just seeing the face of the guy who makes Rurin’s hand tremble, imagining the scenes of him bullying Rurin as a child, makes him seethe with a desire to tear him apart.

“If those guys are pointing at you, it’s only natural that the other party is dead!”

“That’s wrong. She’s not dead yet.”

“What nonsense! You’ve finally gone mad!”

But Nies was still confident. El, assured by his actions, whispered to Rurin.

“Rurin, go get Elena and that Red Dragon. It’s urgent, so please hurry.”

El covered Rurin’s lips with his finger, meaning not to say anything and just go.

Rurin quietly nodded and then disappeared immediately. After confirming that, El shouted towards the Red Dragons.

“You keep yelling about dragon murder. But the dragon in question isn’t dead, so what nonsense is this? Sure, she would normally be dead, but she’s not yet. So, I will face that dragon called Sereina to hear who tried to kill her.”

“She already suffered a fatal injury and lost consciousness. By now, she would be dead! What makes you say such things? Are you that ignorant?”

At El’s assurance, Veint started mocking openly. She escaped instant death, but no one can save her.

He had seen with his own eyes that her organs were burnt. So, to Veint, El’s words sounded absurd.

El ignored Veint and spoke to Medidana again.

“Elder, shouldn’t we properly determine right and wrong first? So, could you wait a bit? I’d appreciate it if you asked them to wait too. They don’t listen when I say it.”

“Hmm…. Alright. Waiting a bit isn’t hard. We can’t ruin things with one-sided claims, so we must offer a chance for explanation!”

Medidana nodded and then spoke towards the Red Dragons.

In fact, he needed El and Rurin not to be involved in this matter.

“Elder of the Red Dragons, it won’t be too late to act once it’s clear, so could you wait? Attacking unilaterally without clarifying the facts would also violate the truce agreement!”

It was said by an Elder of a clan, not just any dragon. So, Elder Dedanq of the Red Dragons found it hard to refuse. He thought for a moment and then nodded.

“Hmm, alright. We’ll wait for a bit. Listen up! Cease all fighting! Got it, Veint?!”

The Elder of the Red Dragons spoke to Veint, who had been framing El. Veint, convinced that Sereina was dead, nodded nonchalantly, believing that even if she were lucky enough to still be breathing, she wouldn’t wake from her unconscious state.

He even thought it would be enjoyable to see El despair after spouting nonsense.

A brief moment of silence passed like that.

And then a few minutes later.

With the Red Dragons in the sky and the Black Dragons on the ground in a standoff, space started to warp and a glowing phenomenon began to appear. It was teleportation.

Naturally, it was Rurin who appeared.

She appeared holding Elena and Sereina. And Elena, as per El’s request, was continuously using Great Healing on Sereina without resting.

For Elena, El’s request was absolute. He was the one who helped her keep the clinic open and always instilled great courage in her.

And since she considered El, who first introduced her to taste, as a benefactor, Elena, with everyone gone from the clinic, was maintaining her mental strength while using Great Healing on Sereina.

If it weren’t for El’s request, even the kind-hearted Elena would have taken measures to let Sereina, who had no chance of survival and had her organs burnt according to Veint’s description, pass away peacefully rather than forcefully prolong her life.

But El was the one requesting it.

He asked her to use Great Healing until he returned. How could she refuse?

The help she received from him was immense.

That’s why Sereina was still breathing.

Of course, the fact that she could die at any moment didn’t change. As Veint thought, she was unconscious and unable to identify the culprit.

Seeing that scene, Veint shouted to Elder Dedanq as if to say ‘I told you so’.

“That guy tried to kill Sereina and silence her, so there’s no chance she will survive! Look at that! Elder! Her back is completely burnt and her organs are damaged!”

El looked up at Veint, wanting to shut his nonsense-spouting mouth, but he took a deep breath and held back.

“You! Are you okay?”

Rurin, after finishing the teleportation, ran towards El with her hair flying. She was very anxious even in the brief moment she was away.

El patted Rurin’s head again and nodded. Then, holding Rurin’s hand, he approached Elena.

In fact, Veint’s confidence was mixed with considerable foolishness. He hadn’t anticipated that there was a way to use a healing magic that surpassed Great Healing in this world.

El was confident that he could save Sereina.

At that moment, El quietly looked around at the dragons.

Nies was smirking and Veint was laughing with delight. In other words, they were both laughing.

It wasn’t normal for them to laugh like that while their kin was dying. The fact that they were talking about revenge while laughing was absurd to El.

“Elder? What are you hesitating for? Isn’t the evidence right before your eyes? That guy harmed Sereina and left her like this. It’s absolutely unforgivable!”

Even in the midst of that, Veint urged Dedanq.

El’s Flame Blaze had the same power and shape as dragon breath, so he couldn’t claim innocence based on Sereina’s wounds.

The only method El intended to use was to save Sereina.

He had a method he wanted to try since Sereina appeared at the restaurant and lost consciousness. He moved to Elena’s clinic for that, but was delayed by the Red Dragon horde.

So now it was time to use that method.

El’s confidence lay in his cooperation with Elena.

Of course, Elena’s presence was essential.

Neither El nor Rurin nor the other dragons could use healing magic, so they couldn’t help.

Elena was in a state where it was amazing she hadn’t lost consciousness yet, sweating profusely and filled with fear.

She was surrounded by dragons, which she found very frightening. But even in that situation, Elena didn’t take her hand off Sereina.

“Elena.”

“Yes, yes! El!”

“It’s okay. Think of those dragons as not there. I’m here and Rurin is here, so it’s okay. How is that dragon?”

“Well….”

El put his hand on Elena’s shoulder. Elena, who was nearly fainting, looked at El with a slightly more relaxed face.

“I know it’s difficult in her current state. But you trust me, right?”

“Yes. I trust you.”

Elena nodded at El with strong determination. El was a bit surprised that he was such a figure of trust for Elena, but it was a welcome situation nonetheless.

“Then let’s save the dragon together.”

“But she’s in a state where it wouldn’t be strange if she died at any moment. There’s no way I can save her. No, even if someone else came, they wouldn’t be able to save her….”

Elena also expressed the obvious generality. It was common thought and sense.

But El shook his head at Elena. He was going to use a method that wasn’t a generality.

“I told you before, didn’t I? I learned a unique secret method from that elf.”

“Yes? Ah! You mean the method you used to restore my mana back then?”

Elena nodded, recalling the accident at the mine. But her face soon darkened again, as she was convinced that the method from back then wouldn’t be enough to save this dragon.

“But with just that…”

“No, it’s different from back then. Back then, I only restored your mana, but now I’m going to amplify your mana to a dragon level. A human wouldn’t be able to endure it, but elves are a race made of nature and the mana that flows in it. I think it’s entirely possible. Dragons can’t use healing magic, but if you have dragon-level mana, you can definitely save her!”

“What? Is that possible?”

Elena’s golden eyebrows twitched in surprise. She thought it didn’t make sense.

Of course, it wouldn’t have made sense before he got the dragon orb. But now it was different.

The only problem was that even an elf could be in danger if more mana than they could hold suddenly entered them.

“If El says it can be done, it will be done!”

Feeling frustrated, Rurin, who was still holding El’s hand tightly, started fidgeting.

Her eyes, glaring from the sky, were bright red. And Sereina wouldn’t last much longer.

With a resolve to act quickly, El placed his hand on Elena’s forehead. Since he was holding Rurin’s hand with his right hand, it was his left hand that went to her forehead.

“It’s okay. Let’s try it. Keep using Great Healing.”

“Oh, got it!”

Soon, El’s mana began to flow into Elena’s forehead. The powerful mana gradually spread throughout Elena’s body.

Soon, Elena’s body began to be enveloped in a holy light.

Boom!

“El, El! Ahhh!”

Elena screamed in surprise but didn’t collapse and held on. The power of the Great Healing emanating was so strong that it was hard to control, but Elena gritted her teeth.

“Oh!”

Rurin watched in amazement at the altered power of the Great Healing. And the strengthened Great Healing brought about unexpected results.

Soon, white light emanated, enough to blanket the entire forest.

The Red Dragons hovering in the sky. And the Black Dragons behind El.

All creatures looked at Elena and El with astonished faces.

Sereina’s wounds began to heal. The burnt organs were restored to their original state.

The important thing was that she wasn’t dead.

No matter how holy the Great Healing was, it couldn’t bring a dead body back to life.

As a result, Sereina gradually began to recover.

After her organs returned to their original state, the wounds on her back also began to heal. The flowing blood disappeared.

Elena’s healing magic, infused with El’s mana, turned into a miraculous healing magic. As a result, Sereina soon regained stability and after a moment, regained consciousness and opened her eyes.

This was also possible because she was a dragon. Recovering from such wounds and opening her eyes immediately was impossible for human vitality.
