"Light Charm"

Bright light burst out from my hand, illuminating the space within a few meters around me. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Gray smoke like a stage effect firmly enveloped the ground around it, and there was nothing in the open field of vision, and in the distance, it was covered in red fire ash, and it was like a thick fog that could not be seen in the distance.

"So that's it...... You're stupid......"

Timia's voice came from the front, very close, about a dozen meters.

So I picked up Ellie and walked tentatively.

The throne appeared before our eyes, a throne made of a huge stalagmite sculpture depicting a relief of a caveman holding a weapon.

A skeleton sat on a throne, and it looked like he should have been a caveman when he was alive, but it was many times larger than a normal caveman, and even larger than Gagantu.

His flesh had been burned to ashes, and it was scattered on the blue-gray throne as if it had been painted with a layer of red paint.

The weapon in his hand had turned into a puddle of solidified metal, and even then he maintained his grip on it.

Although he showed stubborn fighting spirit, it didn't work - Sluka's blow was fatal.

He probably didn't expect the dragon to have such great power until the moment before he died.

"Timia!"

A few steps further, just a few meters behind the throne, a skinny elf was locked in the walls of the cave.

Her right hand was clamped tightly to the wall by a piece of metal that looked heavy and rough, but there was still a hint of pink in the center - it was once melted metal.

Because the pinned right hand was a little high above the ground, the thin elf could not sit on the ground, so he hung like this, leaning against the wall with his legs half-bent, as if he had lost all strength.

Her long bright golden hair was messily wrapped around her neck, and she barely looked up at us with her eyes half-open because she had no strength.

The face that was a little immature on weekdays now looks like it has been scratched by a cat, with rows of black marks.

The pale yellow pleated skirt was stained with gray-black mud, and it was no longer what it looked like.

The snow-white skin on her feet was now flushed red, her ankles were entangled in an unknown white vine, and there was still a trail of blood on her punctured skin.

“！”

Ellie jumped off of me, ran two quick steps to Timia's side, and gently hugged the little girl who was a head taller than her.

The little one's heart was very uncomfortable, and this sad and resentful emotion flowed from the soul link, and my emotions roared.

I don't know if Timia was criminally responsible, and if so, I don't know what kind of torture it would be.

But at least, she's still alive and we're catching up.

"So, you're so reckless."

Although the voice was small, and the throat that could hear it was desperately dehydrated, Timia remained awake.

"That's good, bear with me a little"

Ellie examined the piece of metal that was clamping down on Timia.

It was like a random cloud of mud on the wall, but it had become one with the wall, and the skin on Timia's hands and wrists had turned blackened.

No need for Elle to call again, her thoughts are mine, and my memories are hers.

I also stepped up and used the Water Shaping Charm to help ease Timia's pain, as well as the Fire Control Charm and the healing spell.

Elle, on the other hand, used her heat to melt the metal again.

The mass fell like a paste as it turned red.

Timia, who had been let go, went limp, and I hurriedly hugged the suffering princess.

The little girl's body temperature was not so obvious anymore, although it was not yet cold enough, but it was already dangerous.

"Hey, aren't you Ellie's grand seat in your arms?"

"As long as you have a hard mouth, just lie down well"

Even the special event of a princess hugging me could not dilute the resentment in my heart, and I could only hold back this emotion and make Timia as comfortable as possible.

"What's the matter with your magic, it's impossible that you can't even break free from this level of shackles, and you've been repaired by Sluka?"

"Don't mention it"

Timia raised her hand weakly, gesturing at the mass of vines at her feet.

"Be careful not to get stabbed, the holy relic 'Northland Ice Heart' is amazing"

Ellie frowned, of course she had heard of this kind of thing, one of the supreme sacred relics of the Sati Sheikhs, and it was a very dangerous weapon because it could keep out the torrent.

Once stabbed, you will not be able to use any magic or gain any more mana from the torrent.

So Timia was tortured half-dead by heat and poisonous gas in this situation where she could not use magic.

It's a tricky thing for Ellie, but it's nothing for a human like me.

So I reached out and pinched the vineman.

Oh......

The light spell in his hand was extinguished in an instant, and he couldn't feel any magic in his body, and even the soul link with Ellie was unrecognizable as if it had disappeared.

The feeling of getting magic supplies from Ellie no longer appears, and even because of the isolation of the torrent, even the guardian elves run wild, and the elf game can't be realized.

In short, I became the same ordinary high school teenager I had before I met Ellie.

"Uh......"

Pull the thorn vine from Timia's ankle little by little, because of the disappearance of my water shaping spell, Timia will feel the original pain, although the little girl gritted her teeth and insisted, but some painful sounds still leaked from her mouth.

Elle lit the Light Charm for me so that I could see the ice-like rattan, but Elle couldn't activate my Water Shaping Charm trick, so she held Timia's hand tightly.

"It's almost good, bear with it a little longer"

"Don't worry, it'll be right away"

I comforted Timia with Ellie.

The ice-like rattan had long thorns piercing Timia's feet, and once pulled out, they would come out in the opposite direction and into my palm.

It's as if this rattan has an intellect of its own, and when it lets go of one thing, it grabs another.

Blood ran down Timia's ankle and on my hand with a hot feeling......

I reached out with both hands, handling the remaining few thorns more carefully so as not to pull the wound apart further.

Just as the last thorn left Timia's skin, it suddenly felt like Timia's body was warm again.

"Whew-"

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, and her magic began to return.

"Little ghost, you don't need to do this anyway, do you?"

Timia's voice was already clearly a little more energetic, and she pointed to the white vine man I wrapped around my hand and laughed as if to laugh at my lack of strategy.

"Hmph, just a captive, and you also underestimate me Liu Xiaoqing?"

I looked behind me, and in the gray-red smoke, the huge figure was there.

"Gagantu, can you do me a favor?"

Knock, knock.

The ground was shaking as the lizard approached.

"It's a good effort, but can you hold on? You shouldn't be able to do any magic now, right?"

Hey, it's Gagantu, this guy knows exactly what I want to do, and he understands the current situation accurately, and he is worthy of the general I admit from the bottom of my heart.

"Hey, hey, Gagantu?"

Timia sat up a little from my arms, grabbed my clothes with both hands, and ducked as if she were afraid.

"It's okay, as long as you tap it"

From Ellie's memories, I knew the weakness of this holy artifact - brittleness.

But unfortunately, I don't have the strength to smash it now, and I can't ask Elle for such a thing......

Gagantu walked over and grabbed it from the throne, Kala!

Broke a stone down.

"Hey, that's the throne anyway, you're ...... like that"

Before I could finish spitting, Gagantu waved his hand and smashed it down.

"Wow!"

Ellie screamed and raised her left hand and suddenly jumped up, jumping and spinning in circles like crazy with tears in her eyes.

Well, I forgot, the soul link will be restored after destroying the relics, so Elle will suffer half of the pain.

Thanks to this, I didn't lose consciousness because of the pain.

Probably...... I guess five or six bones were broken.

The pain can cause nerves in the arm to become like they're caught in gears, and the brain is subjected to electrical signals that are difficult to process, and will be temporarily shut down at any moment to avoid further damage.

I have a knack for it, though.

With the use of the kaleidoscopic water mantra, this pain can be alleviated or even completely obscured, and then the treatment can be concentrated.

"You're really not merciful at all."

"Compared to the way we fought at the time, I was careful enough"

"Thank you so much"

"You two know each other?"

Timia hid herself in my arms, staring at Gagantu with a wary gaze.

"It's okay, we're friends, at least for the time being"

After listening to my explanation, Timia relaxed.

"Hey Timia, since your magic has also recovered, you should hurry up and stop the bleeding for yourself!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Timia seemed to have forgotten about magic because she had lost it for so long, and she remembered it after my prompting.
