How are you feeling? I said, holding up Tasiannas right arm. Stitches could be seen connecting her upper arm with her slightly charred forearm. Hopefully this doesnt leave a scar Sorry, I didnt realize your arm was cut off.

Lady Hestia, please, Tasianna placed her hand on my cheeks, gently pulling my face up. Dont be saddened. As your maid, seeing you crestfallen would be a great shame. It is just an arm. You couldnt have known, and given the conditions Grimnir, Kyouya, and Tatsuya were in and you hadnt cast your halo

I didnt know what the hell happened. One moment, I was performing before my audience, carefree and fully believing in my companions when it came to defeating the demonkin and OBlooms army, but in the next, my [Room] subspace warned me, its master, somebody unauthorized had entered it, somebody who made me freeze in place.

I stopped my performance, rushed over to a door, and tried to warn Saori and the others, but before I could do anything, they were sucked out of the subspace. Only Saoris garm and Varya werent pulled out. Knowing the entrance of the labyrinth was the portal to Reajaens dungeon, I wanted to help them, but for some reason, I couldnt.

The only answer was that the portal was either disabled or the [Room] runes were destroyed.

I canceled my concert, telling Duke Greenveil to handle things in my absence. Yorshka and the Magical Biscuits were in the Griffonpeak dungeon, going through Quests. We didnt think we needed them since we were fully prepared, but I guess the enemy had a trump card to level the playing field.

After I exited the subspace, I blasted into the sky with my scale-dust boosters, leaving the snow wyverns and Mother behind. Once I made it past the mountain formation of Gleisvales Centipedeclaw, I transformed into my dragon form and used all my stored scale-dust to just rush, rush, rush!

Once the sight of Reajaens beastman village came into sight, I also felt a serious amount of mana in the area. Mostly, I felt electricity in the air and some serious cold. I didn't know what was happening, but if Tasianna and Saori were fighting seriously, then something was seriously awry.

As such, I needed to come up with a backup, something I could use if fighting wasnt possible. And, that backup plan worked when I saw the demonkin. Level 150 and most of her profile was [Information Blocked]. She was aggressive and belligerent. Not a good combination. And I had no idea if I could stand up to her even with all my skills and spells.

Still, we managed to scare her off, but while the imminent threat was gone, my heart was still beating like a drum. Grimnir and Kyouya were on the verge of death, Tatsuya had taken a huge blow to his head, and the others had some sorta injury or mana issue.

I came in with [Sanctified Blaze: Halo of Consecration], intending to stabilize their wounds before feeding Grimnir a truckload of dragorade. [Arcane Fever (Major)] was not a joke. The last time I saw somebody with that abnormal effect, her limbs exploded. Thankfully, dwarves were quite sturdy, but I honestly thought Grimnir was turning into a grape with how purple he was.

The aftermath of their battle wasnt really easy on my heart. Grimnir was dying, so I had to just overwhelm him with multiple [Sanctified Blaze] and even [Sacred Field] to keep him alive. Kyouya was literally cooked alive in his armor, with metal sticking to his skin; getting him out of it was not an easy task without damaging his body too much. And Tatsuya, well, I just hoped he didnt get any brain damage from the fight.

I was scared. Relying on my allies? When this could happen? I didn't know what to think, really.

When Saori and Ellaine told me what happened, I was sorta happy they managed to stand up against the demonkin well enough, but honestly

The students need more training.

It was the truth.

Major Heal.

I healed Tasiannas arm before attaching her forearm back on, meaning the stump had closed up. That was not good. It meant a perfect, seamless recovery couldnt be done. It also didnt help that her severed limb was charred around the cutting area by the bitch demonkins lightning.

I had to slice Tasianna's stump back open, exposing the flesh and bones again. Fairies were being made out of mana, and while they couldnt die from blood loss, losing a limb meant their maximum mana would be reduced. I didnt know what would happen if she turned back into a fairy like this, so I had to stop her.

After the wound was opened, Saori helped out by stitching her arm back up. The charred parts were removed, but it also meant Tasianna would be left with a scar around her arm. Well, she would if her body was flesh and blood. I had no idea what it would do to a fairy.

Once the heal spell was cast, the flesh of the two arms began to grow out, attaching themselves back together. The bones reconnected and muscle fibers were formed. Once it was closed up with soft, pink skin, I let out a sigh of relief. There was a slight scar, but not noticeable enough to matter. The line was similar to the white stretch marks running down your waist.

How does it feel?

Tasianna moved her arm around, testing it by stretching and moving her fingers. A bit uncomfortable. I cant move my arm as well as before.

I nodded. Try transforming back into a fairy. If you still have problems, then I probably messed up the healing of your nerves or blood vessels. Ill fix you up later on.

After Tasianna returned to her fairy form, it seemed like her arm was fixed. Magic and mana, people. [Humanize] probably corrected whatever was missing, making me wonder if that was the same for my dragon form. Then again, it didnt fix my mana path problem, so it was inconsistent, to say the least.

With Tasianna fixed up, we walked through the emergency clinic I set up for everyone.

Quite a lot of dead The Resurrection didnt come out of this unscathed.

When I learned the [Room] runes were destroyed, I opened another entrance to the labyrinth, where we emptied it of all the corpses. The mercenaries were left to the onnikais, as they took their bodies as their share of the spoils of war. They probably would take over their bodies, I guessed.

The bodies of the Resurrection members, on the other hand, were given over to Reajean. Our foxian ally was actually hiding inside the dungeon all this time, inside the room where her sons real body was. She was now going through the corpses, identifying them. Her sons three puppets were also helping her, but I managed to see him taking glances at me and the others.

Hopefully this wont end in violence.

My deal with Reajaen wasnt fulfilled. Aurora was supposed to kill OBloom for her, as that was her primary objective and obsession. Yes, I heard Parilostro was the person who handed OBloom over, but that was for survival reasons. If Saori and the others hadnt tried to negotiate with the demonkin Warbringer, there would have been more dead.

And some of those extra dead would have included my own friends.

Hey. I bent my knees next to a grape-skinned Grimnir, looking at me before laughing.

Hahahah! Dont look at me like that, lass. Makes a man feel sad when a girl looks at him with those eyes. He tried to joke around despite being on the verge of death right at this moment. The only thing keeping him alive and not dying from [Arcane Fever] were my white flames.

You know, you should be unconscious right now. Honestly, you taz dwarves are too hardy. I shook my head, baffled at how he wasnt sleeping. Dont you feel any pain?

Oooh, I am, lass. Even speaking with you right now hurts like shit! Bladdarg, I need a mug of mead right this moment. I glared at him, causing him to laugh again. Hmm, still, I meant it when you shouldnt feel so bad. A battle is a battle, anything can happen. Dwarven men learn this fact early, since we have mandatory battle training since adolescence. Every tazong man is a warrior of some kind.

Oh? Not women, too? Since the System equalizes everything amongst gender. I wondered a bit.Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

Mhmm, dwarven society was a patriarchy before the rise of the Revolution Queen. Not only technological advancement, but also changes were made for our fairer half. I wont bore you with the details, since I feel uncomfortable speaking about them to you, a lass, but some things have changed, others not so much. Dont worry, when we visit the Ankoran-Nazta, you will feel welcomed, gahahahaha!

You nearly died and youre laughing as if you wonhiehie. I smiled as he laughed so heartily, unperturbed at what happened before.

However, it seemed I assessed his true thoughts a bit too soon.

Still a tazongn man should be able to protect our women. Arck, I know it makes no sense with you lasses being beyond the norm, but I certainly feel pretty pathetic as a member of Aurora. Hmm He then looked over at the unconscious Tatsuya and Kyouya. I almost lost more people I wonder what Broggi would think about how weak I am?

Arent you overthinking it, old man? I turned my head around. Asaka stood behind me, holding back an anxious Daichi back, before releasing him.

Shishou! Daichi cried out as he ran up to Grimnirs side. Dont die, Shishou! I still have so much to learn!

I aint dying you stupid apprentice! And I told you to stop calling me like that! It seemed Grimnir would be keeping living considering how much energy he still had to bonk Daichi on his head.

Kyouya-kun! On the other hand, we had a more depressing moment on the other side with Haruka clenching Kyouyas hand, almost in tears with him unconscious. Hesti-chan, will Kyouya-kun be okay?

I stood up and nodded. Yeah. He had a ton of burns, but I managed to heal him up. Although, when he was burned, he had his armor on so some of the metal melted into his skin. I cut those out, but his armor is gone.

Shoulda made some time to make him a new armor set. As a blacksmith, I shouldnt have listened to the lads insistence that some human-forged armor was fine enough. Grimnir complained about his lack of action leading Kyouya to his current state.

Master Grimnir, you shouldnt be saying that. More people were coming over, this time, it was Ellaine and Saori. When she heard Grimnir blaming himself, Ellaine reprimanded him. I dont think any of us expected to meet somebody at S rank strength this early. As a fellow artisan, you taught me we only have so much time to prepare everybodys equipment.

But, after what happened to Griffonpeak, we shouldve been more careful. The demonkins managed to defeat the Griffon King, and then we even have the unknown powerhouse that was Eithalr. Saori pointed out. Hestia, what was your opinion on the Warbringer?

I thought about it, having trouble since I didnt have the opportunity to fight her. Compared to the demonkin I defeated, the ones who attacked us today were most likely the ones we would meet on a battlefield. An elite soldier in the fire demonkin of wrath and a party commander in the demonkin girl.

In comparison, the one I fought could be considered an assassin. He took Eshe and her knights out in an ambush. When we fought head-on, he stood no chance. Even if I didnt have my controlled [Battle Frenzy] and the two god powers I borrowed, I was 100% sure I could have stomped him.

However, would I have defeated that Warbringer? I told everybody I didnt know. I was still an early-mid leveled B rank dragon. I still havent mastered my scale manipulation nor did I think I knew the full extent of my triple-colored flames yet. I was still learning how to be like an [Obsidian Blaze Dragon] with [Volcanic Blaze].

Our enemies are too strong. Tasianna grabbed her right arm, looking into the skys horizon. We were all struggling with a single Warbringer while Grimnir and Kyouya kept a Warbringer apprentice back. There are still two more Warbringers left, possibly stronger than the Voltaic Red, before we can fight the prince of wrath. This isnt even including the other princes of sin and their entourages, or even any allies they could bring.

Right, the Yanderu Eluseuse and the whole Church of the Edjurl are other factions we need to keep an eye out for, Ellaine added while massaging her right shoulder, the spot where she was hit by the demonkins lighting rapier. Not to mention, the Church of Aurena and the Empire should be our allies, but the chances are high theyll be our enemies instead. If we cannot build up our own alliance, then chances of our victory are low.

Even then, we have to become stronger ourselves, Saori stated before turning to Asaka. Hey, Hanazawa-san

Yeah, yeah, I know. Well be going to the Belzac forest after all of this. The summit with Artorias and their alliance is in AuthumnSun, right? Which means there are still three more months.

Three more months until then, but with how much we exposed ourselves to those two demonkins, it might become difficult for us. If we werent already in their sights after Griffonpeak, then we were 100% now on their radars. They couldnt overlook us now.

Pardon. Midway through our discussion, somebody interrupted us. When I turned around I was surprised to see Reajaen and her son had approached us. I would like to make alterations to our accord, Princess Hestia. Please, come with me.

She looked me straight into the eyes. There I noticed the state of them, looking dull, almost as if she had accepted something inevitable reluctantly. If she wanted to make alterations to our deal, then it could only mean one thing.

Sure. I stood up and then used [Telepathy] to contact the wyvern twins scouting in the air to make sure the demonkins wouldnt come back. [Shay. Beth. Could you two make sure nothing happens in the camp? Well, in case, the Resurrection attack?]

[Of course, Your Highness.]

Haruka-san. Daichi-kun. Could you take care of everything here? Saori turned to her two students, and they nodded.

Emil! Asaka called out to the onnikai necromancer, waving at him to come over before telling the rest of the onnikais to wait and make sure nothing happened.

You better give us our vengeance, Miss! Free us! Imila, the onnikai possessing the body of a young girl, pouted as she was told she couldnt come with them. Goddess Ilsaphone will look fondly over you! You will receive her blessing!

Onnikais were faefolk born after a painful death. They lived their lives with a constant need to satisfy their urges for vengeance. I was already used to how they acted from my time with Kiiro.

After I reapplied [Sanctified Blaze] on Grimnir, all of us went down to the dungeon. Emil, the onnikai necromancer, called the dungeon simply a basement as he never really bothered to customize it. He didnt care much about the dungeon core, so the dungeon was pretty lackluster and could be classified as a G rank one.

A few days after they realized the dungeon was created, the Master moved his primary body deep within it, down on the last floor. We tried to attack him once or twice, but the problem was that he kept a barrier around himself. Whenever I spawned a monster horde, his puppets would simply shoot them down. Level zero monsters arent very useful, you see, Emil explained.

Having your source of vengeance flaunted right before you all this time Tasianna commented, and Emil agreed with both of them glaring at Reajaen and Parilostro.

Both ignored it.

So they are fully committed to enacting their vengeance, huh? Tasianna

It wasnt my problem to worry about. I helped Tasianna find the person responsible for Princess Schuris death, and now I would only hope she can find some closure with this. Hopefully.

As the dungeon master, Emil was able to create a path directly to the dungeon core. However, Reajaen stopped him, telling us she wanted us to first meet with her son, her son's real body, before all of this would end.

Emil was a bit impatient, but none of us were against it. When Tasianna and Asaka said it was okay, Emil was persuaded and we made our way to the last floor. There, at the end of a hallway, was a thick stone door guarded by a mana barrier that I noticed after I activated [Mana Eyes].

Parilostros puppet opened it up for it, revealing a workshop with tables full of manatech machinery and potions. Multiple crates full of herbs were stored in the corner, looking very similar to the ones we sold Reajaen. When she noted my interest, she began to explain herself.

Belzac herb recovery potions are very potent. However, you could also use the herbs in another concoction to alleviate and aid in the repair of mana paths. The recipe the prince of sloth taught me required multiple different ingredients found in the Empire, but acquiring them en masse is expensive. As such, I had to adapt the recipe. She picked up a finished potion, shaking the liquid inside. This is how we forcibly free slaves from their slave tattoos. Its not perfect, since it requires an extensive amount of potions for a proper recovery, but its hope in a bottle. Also

[Shield of [The Light]] [Musical Resonation (Moderate)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

[The Heir of Hope]; my song dedicated to Eshe wasnt just useful for its Health shield, but also for increasing all Holy type healing by 50%. It accelerated the process. The flesh was formable. And cause of that, I had to make Parilostros heart grow as I wanted it to.

Left Atrium, left pulmonary vein Now!

Watch out, everybody, this isnt done yet! I raised my finger and cut off the fully made heart in half, removing the old, small part of the heart before I resumed [Miraculous Grace].

Name: Parilostro Rescalve Health: 206/541

Superior vena cava, right ventricle, inferior vena cava biology classes for the win!

Smoothly with cooperation. Aurora was here to save a life!

Right atrium, right pulmonary vein Done!

I placed the heart back into its place, moving his lungs to the position I read in that one science book in school. I identified the shadow blood vessels Saori made and began reconstructing them with my miracle heal spell and also fixed up his windpipe. There were also his lungs and the rest of his body that I had to correct. Having a young childs heart for so many years had some serious detrimental effects on his body beyond simply having a body unable to move around.

Tasianna, help me out with the mana paths. I activated [Mana Eyes] and began identifying where his mana was flowing. With all the blood vessels back and working, Tasianna didnt have to focus on the blood anymore.

Lets go!

I dont know how long it took. Time was moving slow for me even without [Haste]. This was my first time as a manasurgeon and I could tell I wasnt doing an extremely great job of it. There were no biology books on manapaths on Earth, after all. I knew we had to send him to Duchess Morgiana after this, but I was still glad.

Glad that the operation was a success.

Name: Parilostro Rescalve Health: 467/781

His Health increased by about 200, huh?

Once his chest was closed, Saori, Tasianna, and I stumbled away from him, breathing heavily from the anxious atmosphere. But, the moment we saw his chest move up and down normally? When he didnt spit out any blood? When his Health reached its maximum after I let my white flames handle the rest of the healing? We all smiled.

Parilostro! Reajaen walked up to her son, tears streaming down her face while her hand hid her quivering mouth and voice. She didnt care about the blood dropping on her expensive-looking dress, believing it was more important to kiss her son on his cheek before pressing her head against his.

It was a heartwarming scene between a mother and her son.

I wanted to say something to congratulate her, but I kept it to myself. My job was done. This moment was entirely hers.

But, it seemed like everything was so fleeting today. When we thought everything was about to work out, somebodys voice dragged us back to reality.

Excuse me.

It was a familiar one. One from a specific person I hadnt expected to see today.

I shall congratulate you on your hard work, Hestia, Aurora, for thwarting somebodys death today; however, time presses. Your fate lies elsewhere.

It was Ilsaphone and the Night sisters.

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
