If it weren't for the anomaly they had just noticed, this would have been an ordinary situation, where both of them had simply lost their balance while walking and ended up tumbling over.
But given that anomaly, the current scene is no longer ordinary either.
An Ran didn't collapse immediately. He knelt on one knee, struggling to keep his back straight, but uncontrollably coughed up a mouthful of blood. He slowly turned his head in astonishment and shock. Behind him, Mo Er, also seemingly waking from a dream, stared in shock at his hands stained with hot blood, trembling and repeatedly muttering in confusion, "What happened? What did I do?"
The instantaneous defensive barrier wasn't particularly strong, but it was more than enough to stop ordinary bladed weapons. I quickly ran to An Ran, maintaining his physical condition with [Pain Shield] while rapidly examining the dagger that was almost completely embedded in his lower back.
The [Exorcism] spell quietly flickered with a dim light, then shattered and disappeared after a few breaths, while the pale purple blade gleamed with a dangerous eerie light.
Based on what I had learned, I quickly began the initial detoxification treatment. Moll, who was sitting dazedly on the spot, was dragged aside by the guards who rushed over amidst the increasingly violent tremors. He glared at them angrily, almost shouting a curse.

Looking down again at the feet where there was nowhere to put pressure, the gaping maw with familiar canine teeth was wide open, ready to devour everything that fell.
I could have left directly from here.
Once the coordinates of the fall are recalculated, it's easy to fall directly into the door the moment it opens.
But I still hesitated.
—If I choose to escape from here, how long can those who also fall into the jaws of the dragon survive, even if they are still alive?
