Chapter 61 : "Got up too fast, the demon used a blessing spell!"
“You… are you okay?”
Iphilia didn’t know where she pulled out a thin, straight wooden stick from, and she tentatively poked the elf girl’s face.
The dying elf girl had already reached her limit just squeezing out that one sentence, so 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 single note, she collapsed to the ground with a “thud,” completely unconscious.
“Ya, dead?”
“Idiot! Hurry up and save her!”
Aimiya jumped down from the broken hole above, landing a fist on the back of Iphilia’s head.
Iphilia gave her a wronged glance but reluctantly went to check the girl’s injuries.
“Hmm… one piece of good news and one piece of bad news. Which one does Aimiya want to hear first?”
“Good news?”
“The good news is that this elf girl only has external injuries. They just look a bit scary, but as long as she gets to a hospital, she can be treated quickly.”
“Then… the bad news?”
“The bad news is she won’t make it to the hospital.”
“???”
Iphilia spread her hands, saying with some regret: “Don’t look at how she only has external injuries and her internal organs aren’t too damaged. She’s lost too much blood, probably more than half her body’s blood already. Plus, her magic is restricted, so she’s basically hanging on by a thread. Let alone making it to the hospital, you believe me, if you move her twice right now, she’ll go straight back to the elf race’s sacred tree to report?”
“Then… What do we do? I don’t know any blessing spells!”
“Just let her cool off .Haven’t people always said elves are children of the forest? So, if you treat an elf like a vegetable and make a cold salad, the taste should be pretty good, right?”
“…”
“Ah! That hurts!”
Aimiya unhesitatingly delivered a chop to Iphilia’s head.
The elf girl was practically out of breath, and this guy still had the mood to make such jokes? It seemed she’d need some serious training in the future…
“Fine, fine, I have a way to save her, but it’s a bit costly. You might need to carry me back later”
Iphilia sighed, dropping her playful grin and starting to cast magic with a serious expression.
She crouched down, pressed her open palm against the elf girl’s chest, and a faint purple magic array immediately lit up.
Golden threads shot out from the array, gradually wrapping around the girl’s body like silkworm silk, forming a cocoon.
A sacred aura, completely unlike that of a demon, spread from the cocoon woven by the golden threads.
In an area Aimiya couldn’t see, a strand of Iphilia’s hair shifted from its usual faint purple to a faint gold.
But Aimiya, at that moment, was already too shocked by the scene before her to think straight…
‘Could that… be a blessing spell?’
Aimiya felt her brain short-circuiting.
From both the aura and the phenomenon, the magic Iphilia was using seemed strikingly similar to the angels’ innate magic—blessing spell.
However, when angels cast blessing spells on others, platinum feathers typically fell from the air, and the golden threads wouldn’t wrap someone into a cocoon but would only cover the hand’s position.
Even if the manifestation was slightly different, the magic Iphilia was using really seemed like a blessing spell!
Heavens! A demon using an angel’s innate magic? Was I crazy, or was the world crazy!?
Innate magic was different from ordinary magic.
For example: if you told a group of angels that a demon used holy-attribute magic, they’d at most think you were mistaken or had slept yourself silly.
But if you told them a demon used a blessing spell, they’d definitely think your brain had gone haywire.
Innate magic! And race-restricted innate magic at that! Did you know what race-restricted meant!? Let alone a demon, even a holy-attribute elf could never use a blessing spell!!!
I must have made a mistake, definitely a mistake! Iphie was probably just using a magic with effects similar to a blessing spell.
Besides, blessing spells had low consumption, but Iphie’s magic clearly consumed a lot… Yes, that’s right! That’s it, I definitely got it wrong…
“Um… Iphilia-chan, what… what magic are you using?”
“Hm? I don’t know the official name of this magic. It’s something my uncle taught me, saying it could be used to save lives in critical moments. The healing effect is strong, but the consumption is a bit high…”
Hearing this, Aimiya let out a slight sigh of relief.
Iphilia was a demon, so her uncle should be a demon too.
Since it was a magic taught by a demon, it definitely wasn’t a blessing spell.
After all, it’s not like a demon’s uncle could be an angel, right? How could that be possible?
“Ugh… I’m exhausted… But good thing this elf’s life is saved. Damn it! The elf race owes me a huge favor!”
After confirming once more that the unconscious elf girl was completely out of danger, Iphilia collapsed onto the ground with a “thud,” looking like a wilted violet flower.
Even the strand of hair on her head drooped listlessly.
“Hm! Our Iphie-chan is amazing. Want to lean on me for a bit?”
Aimiya crouched down and hugged Iphilia, their position looking quite intimate.
Normally, Iphilia would have sternly refused, but now, exhausted in both body and mind, she had no energy to fuss with Aimiya.
Plus, lying in her arms was indeed pretty comfortable, so she let her have her way.
As for the elf girl who had just received treatment, her breathing had stabilized.
Not only was she out of danger, but even the gruesome wounds on her body had vanished completely.
Seeing this, even Aimiya couldn’t help but marvel at the power of Iphilia’s magic.
Its healing effect was almost on par with an angel’s blessing spell.
She wondered if she could learn it.
If she could, it might make up for her lack of recovery abilities to some extent.
“Mm… mm?”
At that moment, the elf girl, who had been unconscious for so long, stirred.
Her beautiful eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly sat up like a child just waking up, looking at the two in front of her with sleepy eyes.
“Ya! She’s awake?”
“?”
The elf girl rubbed her eyes, looking at Iphilia with a gaze full of confusion, as if wondering why she was here.
However, her next words nearly made our dear Miss Iphilia faint from anger.
“Succu… bus?”
