Chapter 207: Between Life and Silence
Lyra stepped forward, her hands glowing as she began chanting a complex healing incantation. Then, with a brilliant surge of magic, she released a powerful area spell —[Area High Heal].
A luminous circle of healing energy, spanning nearly twenty meters, illuminated the battlefield with a warm, golden light. The radiant magic washed over everyone in its range — not only healing the critically wounded like the Patriarch, Princess Amelia, Cain, and The Magi Silvanya — but also restoring the injured knights and mages still scattered across the area.
Even I felt the searing pain in my side begin to fade, as the wound on my waist closed steadily under the spell’s effect.
“This is incredible… Lyra’s grown into such a formidable support mage,” I murmured to myself in awe.
“You’re right, Nao. She must’ve worked hard to get this far,” Envi echoed in my mind, his tone filled with genuine admiration. “She’s… an amazing woman.”
Just then, a figure approached me — it was Theresia, and with her usual bluntness, she elbowed me playfully and grinned.”Hehe, what do you think of Lyra, huh? Amazing, isn’t she?” she beamed proudly, her eyes practically sparkling.”I totally acknowledge her — even Serena and the Saintess do! She’s got real talent. In fact, she learned to upgrade her healing magic directly from the Saintess herself. Natural-born genius!”
I hadn’t met Theresia von Stormheim before, but I recognized the name — the older sister of Termina, and a prominent hero in her own right.
“Oh? I see. I’m happy to hear that. Lyra has always been my most trusted support.” I extended my hand politely.
“I’m Naoki von Blackmore. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”
She blinked in surprise, as if just realizing we hadn’t been properly introduced.
“Ah—ha! That’s right! We haven’t done the formalities, have we?” she laughed, shaking my hand enthusiastically.
