61. It got serious, the demon used a blessing spell.
“Are you… okay?”
Evelyn pulled out a thin, straight wooden stick from somewhere and tentatively poked the Elf Girl’s face. The nearly unconscious Elf Girl had just managed to squeeze out that one sentence, which was already her limit. How could she have the strength to answer her question? The girl’s small mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but before she could utter even a note, she fell “thud” to the ground, completely passing out.
“Ah, did she die?”
“Idiot! Hurry up and save her!?”
Emilia jumped down from the broken hole above and landed a forehead smack on Evelyn’s back of the head. Evelyn glanced at her with grievance and somewhat reluctantly went to check the girl’s injuries.
“Um… One good news and one bad news, which one does Emilia want to hear first?”
“Good news?”
“The good news is that this Elf girl only has external injuries, it looks a bit scary, but she can be treated quickly if we get her to the hospital.”
“Then… what’s the bad news?”
“The bad news is she won’t make it to the hospital.”
“???”
Evelyn shrugged her shoulders and said regretfully, “Don’t be fooled by the fact that she only has external injuries and hasn’t really damaged her internal organs; she has lost too much blood, probably more than half of her total blood volume by now. Plus, her magic power is restricted, and she’s basically just hanging on by a thread. Don’t even mention getting her to the hospital. Do you believe that if you move her even a bit now, she’ll go back to the Elf Clan’s Holy Tree to report?”
“Then… what should we do? I don’t know the blessing spell either!”
“Just toss her in a salad~ Haven’t people always said that elves are children of the forest? Then treating an elf like a vegetable should taste pretty good, right?”
“……”
“Ah! That hurts!”
Emilia didn’t hesitate to deliver a chop to Evelyn. The half-elf girl was nearly out of breath, and this guy was still joking around? It seemed like she needed to be properly trained from now on…
“Alright, alright, I have a way to save her, but the cost is a bit high. You might have to carry me back later~”
Evelyn sighed, put away her playful demeanor, and began to cast magic with a serious expression. She crouched down, placed one hand palm down on the Elf Girl’s chest, and a faint purple magic circle instantly lit up. Golden threads shot out from the magic circle, gradually wrapping around the girl’s body like silkworm silk, a sacred aura completely different from the demon’s spread out from the “cocoon” woven from the golden threads.
In a blind spot not visible to Emilia, a tip of Evelyn’s hair changed from faint purple to a hint of light gold.
However, at this moment, Emilia was already so shocked by the scene before her that she couldn’t think straight…
‘Could it be… is it the blessing spell?’
Emilia felt her mind was malfunctioning. From both the aura and the phenomenon, the magic Evelyn was using right now was extremely similar to the angel’s innate magic—blessing spell. However, angels’ blessing magic usually has platinum feathers dropping from the air when cast, and golden threads would not wrap a person up like a cocoon but would only cover the area being touched.
But despite the differences in appearance, the magic Evelyn was using really resembled the blessing spell!
Heavens! A demon actually used the angel’s innate magic? Am I going crazy or is this world going crazy!?
It should be noted that innate magic is different from ordinary magic. To put it simply: if you tell a group of angels that a demon used a sacred attribute magic, they might just think you are mistaken or had a silly dream; but if you tell them a demon used a blessing spell, they would definitely believe you are out of your mind.
Innate magic! And it’s a racially restricted innate magic! Do you know what racially restricted means?! Not to mention a demon, even a sacred attribute elf wouldn’t be able to use a blessing spell!!!
I must be mistaken, it has to be a mistake! Evelyn probably just happened to use a spell that had a similar effect to the blessing spell. Moreover, blessing spells consume very little magic, but Evelyn currently seems to be expending a lot… Yes, that’s it! I definitely misinterpreted it…
“Um… Evelyn, what magic are you using…?”
“Uh? I don’t really know the official name of this magic. Anyway, it was taught to me by my uncle, who said it can be used for saving lives in critical moments. The healing effect of this magic is very strong, but it consumes a bit too much…”
Hearing this, Emilia finally let out a slight sigh of relief. Since Evelyn is a demon, her uncle must also be a demon, and since it’s a spell taught by a demon, it definitely isn’t the blessing spell.
After all, it’s impossible for a demon’s uncle to be an angel, right? How could that be?
“Ugh… I’m exhausted… But thankfully this elf’s life is saved. Damn it! The Elf Clan owes me a big favor!”
After confirming that the unconscious Elf girl had completely escaped danger, Evelyn “thud” sat on the ground, looking like a wilting violet, with her trademark hair strands drooping lifelessly down.
“Well! Our Evelyn is amazing. Should I let you lean on me for a while~”
Emilia squatted down and hugged Evelyn in her arms. Their posture looked quite affectionate at the moment. Normally, Evelyn would definitely have refused her sternly, but now, worn out both physically and mentally, Evelyn had no strength to mess around with Emilia. Moreover, lying in her arms indeed felt quite comfortable, so she let Emilia do as she pleased.
Meanwhile, the treated Elf girl had already stabilized her breathing, not only was she out of life-threatening danger, but even the originally hideous wounds on her body had completely vanished. Seeing this, even Emilia couldn’t help but admire the power of the magic Evelyn just cast; the healing effect was nearly indistinguishable from an angel’s blessing spell.
But she wondered if she could learn it. If so, it could somewhat compensate for her lack of healing means.
“Um… Um?”
At that moment, the Elf girl who had been unconscious for so long began to stir. Her beautiful eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she slowly sat up like a child just waking from sleep, her sleepy eyes looking at the two in front of her.
“Ah! She’s awake?”
“?”
The Elf girl rubbed her eyes and looked at Evelyn with confusion, seemingly pondering why she was there.
However, her next sentence nearly made our dear Evelyn faint from anger.
“Charm… Demon?”
