CH.477 Healing a Divine Dragon

CH.477 Healing a Divine Dragon

Naturally I escaped that little situation by teleporting both of us to the HomeBase core room.

... what? What did you expect? I can do that teleport without a chant, and it is instant, so it was by far the best way for me to get us out of that situation.

I quickly looked over Lady Janina, and she wasn’t looking her best. Her scales were burned off almost completely, leaving her lower skin layers exposed.

What? You don’t think I know dragon anatomy? Of course I do. How many do you think I’ve woked for food?

She also wasn’t breathing correctly. Usually it is very silent, despite her massive size, but now it sounded like she had to force herself to breathe, so I wasn’t quite sure how she was handling herself.

I quickly got a few Gift Cards out of Collection and spammed them on her to at least get her some HP. Thank God I know they affect dragons, because otherwise I’d honestly be worried.

With the first emergency dealt with, I then began contacting people. Starting off with Agunan and Ria. Neither of them have a System Support, so I can’t contact them that way, but what I can do is pull a bit of mana from Agunan. Not a lot, but he will still feel me doing so, so he should realize I’m fine, and since I’m only taking mana, not HP, he will hopefully not panic about it too much.

I then tried to give Ria a ‘return home’ command through the slave mark, but I’m not so sure if it worked out or not. I’ll just have to wait and see. She does have a tracker, so I’ll be able to confirm it when I get to my office, or I can have someone check it out.

I then contacted Alice and Lua. Both of them knew where we had been, but they didn’t know how I returned, and more importantly, they didn’t know I returned with an injured Divine Dragon.

{... fuck that hurts.} I heard Lady Janina coming to. She then began to move, but honestly speaking, while the core room is large, it isn’t quite large enough for her.

“No! No! No! Don’t move!” I quickly called out. “We are kind of in a tight place, so there really isn’t room for that.”

Lady Janina seemed to hold onto my words. She then attempted to look around, but her normally bright silver eyes were all dull and gray.

{... I can’t see.} She said. {That thing burned my eyes, huh?}

“... you are awfully casual about having like 90% of your scales, as well as your eyes, burned off.”

{Been through worse. At least my body is in one piece.}

“... I almost want to ask, but I’m not actually sure if I really want to know.”

{I’ll tell you one day.}

“... anyway. A quick question. Will it be worse for you if you are in your human form for the healing, because admittedly, I don’t have the facilities to heal a divine dragon.”

{You don’t need to heal. Just give me a year and I’ll be back to normal.}

“... yeah, no. I’m not waiting that long.” I told her. “So human form, yes or no?”

She didn’t answer, instead her body was engulfed in light, before compressing down into a humanoid shape. I instantly rushed to her side, and held her up with my four arms, only to realize that my palms were burned to shit, and I could even see some of the bones in my hands, as my flesh had burned away to the point where they were visible.

... yeah. Maybe holding a scorched divine dragon with my hands wasn’t the best idea, but can you blame me?

So instead of holding her with my beat up arms, I conjured some Magical Arms to hold her, before I teleported both of us to the surface, specifically to the medical bay of HomeBase.

It was a bit later when Ria and Agunan arrived home. They had flown back in Ria’s B.E.S. Big Core MK-2.

And the two of them didn’t bring with them the best of news.

Because apparently my little disappearing act had caused some chaos in the Dragon’s coast. And since Lady Janina is out of commission, I’ll probably have to deal with this mess.

So I headed out there, but I wasn’t going to fly all the way to the coast, no, I have a teleport seal there, so I’m going to use it. ... I should be able to.

So after a chant, I disappeared from HomeBase and reappeared within Lady Janina’s cave.

I then headed out of the cave, while using Draconic Body to turn myself into the closest approximation of a dragon I could. ... which is still more of a winged salamander than a dragon, but I’m getting there.

Noticing me, a lot of the adult, or ‘greater’ as the System calls them, dragons gathered around me, yelling this and that about me killing the supreme.

I did my best to reassure them that Lady Janina was alive, but I’m not completely sure if they accepted it fully. I think just suspicion and so on. Most of them did see how injured Lady Janina really was, so they might assume I finished her off.

But at the same time, the dragons couldn’t really do anything. In dragon culture, if you lose to someone in a fight, you are beneath them in hierarchy. And if I, even by the way of a summoning, beat the supreme dragon, then technically I’m above all of them in power.

I then picked a few of the dragons whom I knew to be some of the strongest from all the fights my monsters have had with them to take temporary leadership of the area until Lady Janina could return, before I used Space Magic to teleport back home.

Yes, I’ve fixed the issue where the HomeBase barrier prevented teleportation to HomeBase. I just have to send a ping with my terminal to HomeBase first. And this can be done with any HomeBase access device, not that anyone other than me even knows teleportation magic.

Back on HomeBase, Lua came to talk to me about something. Specifically about her Lifesaver title. It has been upgraded. ... and a few other things also happened.

... Yeah. I’m just going to ignore all of Lua’s skills for now. Of course she has grown in levels, it has been like 50 chapters since you saw her status.

The important parts are her upgraded Lifesaver title, and the nice little star next to her race.

Let’s start with the title. It is actually quite simple. You can get it by healing someone for more than 30,000 HP when you have the Lifesaver title, without going into overheals. We had Laura and Mia check.

The effect of Divine Lifesaver is just a superior version of OG Lifesaver. OG Lifesaver gave all healing magic a 2x buff, but Divine Lifesaver gives all healing magic a 5x buff.

The star on the other hand, well, apparently the System really didn’t like the idea of Lady Janina potentially dying. I’m honestly expecting a night visit by the Goddess where I get bonked.

But yeah. Lua had an advanced System Support. It is interesting that she got her System Support, and Lifesaver, for healing me, and now she got her Lifesaver and System Support upgraded for healing Lady Janina.

But, and there is something more, I feel like I need to show you my status as well. Because I also obtained a title. Or two. ... maybe three.

One of them is the standard Lifesaver, which is nice, but the others ...

... so yeah. I guess the Ruler of the Dragon Coast (temporary) is understandable, I did kind of take command there. And even the System realizes that I’m just the temporary leader while Lady Janina recuperates.

... But the Dragon King title is ... well, a bit more permanent. You can get it by having at least 10 Greater True Dragon acknowledging you as their superior, which I kind of just did. It gives you access to the Dragon King class race, which comes with access to the two Draconic skills I already have, which is probably why both of them leveled up. It also boosts the efficiency and power of both skills, kind of like how Lua’s Saint title boosts her Holy Magic.

But anyway. That happened. I don’t really know what to say. Let’s just wait until Lady Janina wakes up and see how we’ll solve this mess.
