Episode 222: The Blood Baragi (6)

Although it was unfortunate that she was injured, fortunately, the injuries sustained by the Sky Fairies were at a level that Lilia could easily handle.

It was thanks to this that the other fairies, except for Jarina, were suppressed relatively mildly.

You might say that being thrown around like a piece of luggage with broken limbs and handcuffs and shackles isn’t ‘moderate’, but it is compared to Zari’s being hit in the stomach and having half of her internal organs destroyed.

Bones are naturally healed over time. The surgery was not difficult because it only involved assembling the broken bone fragments and applying a miracle of healing. The loss caused by bleeding could also be compensated for by the miracle of vitality.

“Whoaah.”

Lilia let out a long breath after completing the surgery on the last Sky Fairy.

The surgical sword disappeared from her fingertips. As the concentration she had been focusing on waned, fatigue set in… It didn’t even come. As long as she had her sexual power remaining, her stamina was infinite.

The fairy who had both arms broken looked at the skin that had not even a small scar left with astonished eyes, and then grabbed both of Lilia’s hands.

“Thank you, really! You said Lilia? I won’t forget this favor!”

“No problem! Is there anything else that hurts?”

“I’m fine. I’m very healthy.”

“That’s fortunate. But please refrain from making any strenuous movements for today! Just in case.”

“Okay, I understand. I will definitely do that.”

Lilia smiled brightly and stood up from her seat.

While she was performing rituals on fifteen fairies in a row, Galen, who had extracted information from nine of the great lords and sent them to the underworld, was by her side.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“You are brothers.”

Galen patted Lilia on the shoulder. Lilia whined and leaned toward Galen.

“Actually, it was a little difficult… … .”

“I wanted to help you, but I’m sorry I can’t help you with anything.”

“… This is enough, so it’s okay.”

Although he spoke softly, I couldn’t hear him clearly, but I thought I knew what he was saying. Galen hugged Lilia lightly and gently stroked her hair.

“I’m the one who has no face.”

Shamita said with a soft sigh. Fortunately, it wasn’t a sigh she let out while looking at the two people flirting.

“Galen saved his people, Lilia healed them, and all I did was watch… … .”

“You didn’t do it on purpose. We split up into three groups and chased after each other, and it just so happened that I got caught.”

“Isn’t it the job of a priest to treat patients? In a big way, it’s also our fault for not being able to manage bad people.”

“I’m not so shameless as to blame it on the church. How can I control the failure of a single mercenary group?”

“Anyway, we don’t care at all, so Shamita, you don’t have to worry about it either. Right, Lilia?”

“Of course!”

“still…….”

“If you really care about it, just explain it to the other fairies. So that there won’t be any unnecessary misunderstandings.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

Now that the surgery is over, Shamita gathered the fairies together and formally introduced Galen and Lilia.

The fairies had been avoiding the humans who had been gathering recently, but they still had not yet reached the level of hating the entire human race. The fairies showed pure affection for the two benefactors.

“By the way, Shamita. How did you end up hanging out with these guys?”

“Ah, I went to scout out the human realm and accidentally got caught.”

“You got caught? You?”

“I tried to hide it, but their insight was beyond my expectations. I accompanied them for a while out of curiosity.”

“Hmm… … .”

“We had business with the mercenary group that attacked you. They were suspicious from the beginning, so we were chasing them.”

“That’s what it was.”

Galen interjected appropriately. He deliberately did not bring up the story of the request. Since it was a request made because he wanted to avoid war due to ‘some circumstances known only to the high-ranking officials’, there was no need to tell the common elves.

Fortunately, the fairies didn’t seem to find it particularly strange. Shamita seemed to have guessed Galen’s intentions, so she nodded slightly and showed a look of gratitude.

“They are the ones who tried to cause a major incident because of greed. I promise to find all those involved and punish them thoroughly!”

“I see. I can trust you, Lilia.”

Zarina showed trust in Lilia, who spoke confidently. As expected, she was a savior, so she was very persuasive.

“Okay, let’s get that out of the way.”

Shamita clapped her hands together to call attention.

“Now that the treatment is finished, it’s time to start cleaning up here. Just leave Jari behind, and have the others clean up the village.”

“i get it.”

The fairies nodded. Galen slightly opened a part of the water curtain wall. The fairies who had escaped soon scattered around.

Now, only Galen, Lilia, Shamita, and Zarina remained inside the water curtain. In addition, there were the corpses of Gaunt and the young man who had been caught and still hadn’t regained consciousness due to only a cursory treatment.

“Because I’m the general manager of the villages around here. I thought there should be at least one person who knows the situation.”

“Well done.”

“Thank you, Shamita. I had something I wanted to ask you anyway.”

Galen readily agreed with Shamita’s explanation. Zarina opened her mouth as if she had been waiting for it.

“Galen, what did you mean by what you said earlier?”

“What do you mean?”

Lilia tilted her head, unable to hear because she was focused on the surgery. Zarina glanced at the young man’s corpse.

“He said it as if the guy wasn’t dead.”

“yes?”

“what?”

Lilia and Shamita’s gazes turned to the young man at the same time.

I thought I had seen it wrong, but I couldn’t have. Shamita asked back in a trembling voice.

“Your head flew off?”

“The heart… stopped?”

Lilia, who had been listening quietly, also looked puzzled.

Galen only smiled faintly.

At first, he naturally assumed that the young man was dead. Even the trolls, the epitome of regenerative power, would die inevitably if their heads were blown off.

What started to feel strange was when I realized that I hadn’t received the experience points that I should have.

The reason I had neglected this aspect for a while was because most magic was blocked from leveling up at the Golden Pole, so I couldn’t gain experience points, and the magic that could gain experience points was in the form of jewels, so even if I caught the leftovers, I couldn’t even get a message out.

But this time, the opponent was clearly a gem-level one, and while mixing various magics to harass him, he also used water manipulation and magic sound. Those two should have given him experience points.

Still, there was no change in the status window. The status window doesn’t show everything, but what it does show doesn’t lie. It said that the opponent wasn’t dead.

Of course, I can’t just tell you the reason straight away, so I’ll have to give an appropriate reason―

“Well, but my brother isn’t the type of person to say unnecessary things.”

Lilia, who believed Galen’s words rather than doubting them and then investigated them, quietly closed her eyes and opened them.

The platinum colored eyes, slightly faded but clearer and calmer, were revealed.

Shamita and Zarina flinched when they first encountered the castle. Although the intensity was different, they both felt the same unique pressure squeezing their chests.

Regardless, Lilia’s expression, which had been quietly staring at the young man’s corpse, hardened slightly.

“Brother, did you leave this there on purpose?”

“Because there was something more urgent. The fairy surgery. If you’re going to stay still until it’s over, there’s no need for us to touch it first, right?”

“Right. It’s all over now, right?”

“Yes, you can touch it.”

Galen gave his consent coolly. Lilia nodded and extended her arm.

Paaaaah!

The spear of light rose higher than her height. Lillia spun the spear of light halfway around her head and immediately slammed it back down onto the corpse on the ground.

Kwak!

The spear only pierced the floor. It wasn’t intentionally hit the ground.

After losing his head and collapsing, his torso, which had been lying like a corpse until then, quickly rolled to the side to avoid the flash of light.

“Huh?!”

The frightened Zarinaga instinctively took a step back and took a deep breath. Although she did not back down, Shamita also immediately changed into a fighting stance.

“What a strange guy. How can he do something like that without a brain?”

Galen let out a hollow laugh, having guessed that she was alive but not knowing that she would react like that.

Lilia didn’t panic and immediately pulled out her spear and stabbed again, aiming for the body of the young man rolling to the side.

How did he not know that, even though he had no eyes, the young man’s body stopped moving just before that and hit the ground with both arms and both legs. As a result of the bizarre recoil that made him wiggle like an insect, his body bounced back like a spring.

The young man, who was standing upright while doing somersaults, had already been tangled with sticky blood vessels at an incredibly fast rate on his neck. A round shape like a head appeared in the blink of an eye.

“Hey, what is that?!”

The face of the screaming Jarina turned pale.

No matter how human-like its appearance may be, no one can believe it is human after seeing that ominous regeneration scene.

“Why is it that young humans are so strong… …!”

“There are only two young gems among humans, Lillia and I, so don’t get confused from now on.”

In the short time that Galen spoke kindly, the young man’s head became completely normal again.

“You fucking bastards!”

The young man gritted his teeth. In fact, there was nothing else to do.

It was only natural that Zarina, who had been toyed with by him earlier, felt creeped out, and Shamita, who had encountered the absurd regenerative ability for the first time, also looked cautious.

Unfortunately, the most important ones, Galen and Lilia, were not shaken at all.

Lilia, who had activated her holy sword, was ready to slaughter the young man with just a glance, and Galen had no reason to fear the one he had just stepped on without using any power.

“Is it okay if I finish it?”

“sure.”

Lilia answered lightly to Galen who asked calmly.

As soon as permission was granted, Galen immediately raised his magical power.

The young man who was caught was preparing for the great collaboration of wind, earth, and other things just like before.

I had to pay the price for momentarily forgetting what this place was covered with.

Swaaaaaaaaaah!

The water spirits that had been covering the wide open space like a lid opened the water gates all at once. A huge amount of water that made even waterfalls look ridiculous poured down from all directions.

All that water cleverly followed Galen’s control. The space where the group was was left untouched as if an invisible wall had been built, and it all flowed only in the direction where the young man was.

“Huh?!”

Even if I wanted to avoid it, I couldn’t. Water was gushing out from the entire hemispherical wall that covered the surrounding space without any gaps. Where could I escape to? There was no physical space.

A young man caught in an unexpected flood on land was soon forced to stop in the water. No, the entire water stopped.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

The giant tank that held the young man became a prison.

By using the power of water manipulation to fix the shape of water, it is possible to create a submarine that can easily withstand the water pressure of a deep lake.

That was before it became a jewel, so how strong would the power of water manipulation be once it reached level 80, which can be considered the top tier of jewels?

“Karrararak!”

It seems like they’re shouting something, but I can’t hear them. All I can hear is countless bubbles of air bubbling out.

The squeezing force was so strong that it seemed difficult to even struggle. The young man’s body creaked unnaturally under the immense pressure.

If it were a normal person, it would have literally been crushed, but the Gem Warrior’s strong body bravely held on.

Phew!

Of course, the weakest and most untrained part, the eyeball in particular, could not withstand the water pressure and burst. The young man who lost both eyes writhed.

More than anything else, the inability to breathe itself was the biggest threat.

Even for warriors who pride themselves on being strong, it is absolutely not recommended to use magic on your body except in special cases. Of course, you should avoid it. You shouldn’t have been trapped in the water in the first place. Once you’re trapped, it’s a fatal blow.

“Oh… … .”

“It’s scary, it’s scary.”

The violence was so intense that even Zarina, an onlooker, trembled and Shamita, the jewel, stuck out her tongue.

The only problem was that the young man was not a typical jewel warrior.

“Hmm.”

Galen scratched his chin as he continued to push the struggling young man back into the water prison.

“You’re holding up better than I thought. Aren’t you out of breath?”

“Usually when you’re short of breath, you feel dizzy, but this guy moved around even without a head. Maybe he doesn’t really need to breathe?”

“That could be true. Is a real monster a monster?”

“It seems like a ‘bloodthirsty’ thing.”

Lilia muttered quietly.

“A bloodthirsty man?”

“It’s a nickname given to him because he’s an evil spirit that only chases blood, just like a sunflower chases the sun. I should have noticed when I said he was a bloodthirsty bastard… … .”

“I might not be able to recall it right away. I didn’t have time to think about it leisurely. Anyway, I guess it’s a demon you know?”

“Vampire. The most dangerous and powerful, the right-hand man of the devil. A bloodthirsty… immortal demon?”

“Immortal?”

“According to the church records, that was when there were no priests.”

“That’s such a luxurious ability. A demon that’s not even a demon can be immortal?”

“Actually, I think so too.”

Lilia smiled brightly. She spoke with her eyes still shining brightly.

“I have something to check, can you please scold me a little more?”

“gladly.”

Galen lightly extended his right hand.

As it happens, there was one spell that was perfectly suited to be thrown into the water prison.

Pfft pfft pfft!

A dazzling flash of lightning pierced through the prison.
