...

Tasia's emerald green eyes were filled with confusion.

Who am I?

Where?

What are you doing?

The classic three questions posed by a sage.

For Tasia, most of her memories are fragmented.

The only thing I remember is falling into the pit after I was injured.

At that moment, she opened her eyes and saw a night sky cut through by the towering canopy of the Mondel tree.

There were only a few stars in the night sky, and the sparse light fell through the woods, barely illuminating a face that was looking at me with concern.

"She's awake! That's great!"

“The situation is urgent, there’s no time to explain. Tasia, I want you to promise me one thing—admit it, I am the true Shadow of Darkness, and I want your complete trust.”

“I know this is confusing and even troubling, but it’s very important to me. It’s about whether I can get out of Dragon Forest alive.”

Linda didn't have time to explain much before she blurted out the words, her forehead beaded with sweat.

"Wait, my head is spinning. Master, why are you here? Where is this?"

"I remember being attacked by a swarm of venomous feathered serpents and the Doomsday Cult. The scarlet people got separated, and I was also poisoned by snake venom..."

As Tasia spoke, she suddenly paused, as if she had discovered something incredible.

She reached down to touch the area below her left breast, where there was a wound from a bite by a venomous feathered serpent. The wound was festering and bleeding uncontrollably, leaving her feeling helpless.

By this time, a scab had formed, and the wound was slowly healing. The damned feathered serpent venom that had been plaguing the magic circuits, like a layer of frost, had also completely disappeared.

Instead, a scorching and violent force emerged.

Tasia could feel the benefits this power brought her.

They are absorbed subtly by one's own body, and if you go to the Adventurer's Guild's training ground to test your 'strength value', it will increase by about 10%.

'I've never eaten Behemoth meat, but I've seen Behemoths running in videos.'

Tasia was startled. There was only one thing that could quickly neutralize the feathered serpent venom in her body, provide warmth, and enhance muscle strength and power...

Dragon Blood!

By the way,

Tasia vaguely remembered that someone brought something thick and hot.

That thing doesn't belong to Linda...

It was the mouth of the cup that contained dragon's blood!

It was Linda who shoved the cup into her mouth!

Thinking of this, Tasia looked at Linda in disbelief, tears of emotion welling up in her eyes.

In the past, Linda would simply kick out any members she didn't need from the original adventure team. Why would she go to such lengths to obtain dragon blood to heal her members?

Although her body was still weak, Tasia felt an unprecedented surge of fighting spirit.

She must recover as soon as possible, serve Linda diligently, and repay Linda's kindness with her whole life.

Even if all she could do in the future was become a useless maid to help Linda and his Oathbringers wash wet, dirty sheets, she would do it without hesitation.
