However, the other four, as well as the Pegasus warriors who had tried to protect us, were not in good condition either. In particular, Miyuki and the Pegasus leader, who were positioned slightly higher than us, suffered more severe injuries, almost to the point of being mangled. Especially Miyuki's left arm, which was hit first, was now hanging limply at her sides, with no trace of magic flowing from it, most likely due to damage to her magic circuits.
Intense tinnitus and nausea interrupted my observation. My vision remained a blank white, and I could only vaguely discern changes in the intensity of the light. I was certain that the enormous bone dragon, its entire body engulfed in eerie blue flames, was not nearby.
It sounded like someone's voice was constantly ringing in my ears. I felt a slight pressure and shaking on my shoulders, but the sensation was not very clear, as if there were layers of barriers on that skin, or perhaps it was just a figment of my imagination.
Soon, a warm sensation came from nearby, spreading from the chest to the limbs and bones, relieving the pain in the meridians and allowing one to gradually experience the true feeling.
It was an unbearable tingling and itching, and an increasingly dull pain. The brain was so exhausted that it eventually lost its ability to respond to the pain.
I blinked tentatively, and relying on my gradually regaining blurry vision, I finally discerned who was the figure in front of me who was continuously treating me.
Her beautiful light golden hair was covered by ash and dust, making it almost impossible to see its original color. Hot tears, which could make people feel a strong burning sensation, kept flowing from her wide eyes. But upon closer inspection, it was as if her body was soaking in a comfortable cold spring, with only a refreshing coolness spreading from the spot where the tears fell.
Her delicate skin had only a small cut on the side of her cheek, but it did not affect the girl's cuteness much. Instead, it added an unusual sense of determination and charm. However, her eyes sparkled with clear innocence and deep worry. Such complex emotions could be deeply felt even from a distance.
On either side of the transparent, pure white halo, tiny wings spread wide, gathering the magic power to sustain her healing. Turning her head to look around, she sensed a vast domain enveloping us, continuously restoring the status of all beings on our side.
The rotten flesh peeled off and regenerated, combining to form a more solid interior. The broken meridians were able to heal themselves, and even the damaged and broken magic circuits showed faint flickering, gradually connecting and restoring.
But I don't have much magic left.
I pondered for a moment, then took out the chopped pieces of magic stone, tossed them into my mouth, and chewed while looking around.
The scattered magical storm had not completely dissipated, and a chaotic aura still lingered not far away.
The bone dragon army that had seemed poised to attack alongside the swooping bone dragons in the basin was caught in the blast before it could even get going. Most of them were now lying on the ground, struggling to get up, completely blocking the rest of the ranks. A few tried to climb over their fallen comrades, but were dragged down by those behind them, creating a scene of utter chaos.
"What about the bone dragon?"
I asked in confusion, my voice echoing in my ears, sounding slightly muffled.
Somewhat confused, I reached out and touched the side of my face. When I put my hand down, all I could see was a sticky, dark red stain.
No wonder I couldn't hear clearly; it turns out my eardrum was ruptured.
Fortunately, Hikari continued the treatment, and he recovered somewhat. After taking a few more [Liquid Life] potions and resting for a while, he should be fully recovered.
Releasing the girl from my arms, I thanked the little fool for the treatment, then patted the wings that had spread out beneath me, trying my best to protect my Pegasus's neck. After dodging the girl's grabbing hand, I flipped over and landed on the horse.
He was a little unsteady, which was a result of the semicircular canals not fully recovering, but even so, he could still barely maintain his balance.
By simply adjusting the flow of magic within the body and thereby controlling the force exerted by the limbs, one can perfectly avoid the current state of imbalance and return to a state no different from usual.
I checked on Annie and Ai'an's current situation again.
It's unclear how they managed to do it. When the bone dragon attacked earlier, one of them cowered and cried out in fear, while the other sat frozen on the back of the pegasus, completely unable to react. Yet now, both of them are hidden beneath their pegasus, their bodies mostly concealed by the drooping wings. Nearby, a semi-circular, transparent light, like twinkling stars, is shimmering.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Ai'an sensed something was wrong, dragged Annie to hide in the safest place where they might be least injured, and activated the protective gear given to him by the headmaster in time? After thinking it over, perhaps this is the only possibility left.
This was hardly the kind of decision a teenager could make in an instant, especially considering that he had been confined to that laboratory and had no memory of what came before.
On the other hand, I must also thank him for his decisive judgment. It was because of this that the two of them, who were under heavy protection, were able to appear before me almost unharmed, instead of in a miserable state.
Perhaps before he lost his memory, he was a remarkable person praised by his neighbors.
I gestured for the boy to stay put, then turned to Shenxue, who was on my left side and had recovered her strength not far away.
Like me, our icy female swordswoman, after her wounds had mostly healed, nimbly flipped off her horse and carefully checked her physical condition.
She truly lived up to her reputation as a seasoned swordsman; her robust physique and resilience to injury far surpassed that of a fragile mage like myself. What was a fatal wound to me was nothing more than a minor scratch to her, requiring little attention. Her aura only weakened slightly before she returned to her peak condition, perhaps even stronger than before.
