“Cassius!”

Unable to balance, I grabbed his swaying arm and shouted.

“Yerine.”

Cassius’ expression was not very good, perhaps because of the pain in his legs and shoulders.

“You just got hurt. Don’t overdo it. Just sit down.”

Just then, the others who were lying down began to move little by little.

“What is it…?

Erica was the first person who raised her body.

“What? Where are we?”

Eugene, Astra and Rachel also woke up.

While everyone was awake, there was the only person who could not wake up from the grassy land.

It was Rayl.

“Don’t let your guard down. The prince might be playing some tricks again.”

Eugene used magic by frowning because of the wound.

His legs were still bleeding.

The surrounding air fluttered for an instant on the shield created by Eugene.

Everyone who heard Eugene’s words took a battle stance with a nervous face.

Except for me who was looking for a white woman waiting across the way.

“Yerine, what are you doing?”

I looked back at the sound of Eugene shouting.

“Is this, like, a hallucination?”

Rachel asked, looking around with her sharp eyes.

At her fingertips, a guardian spirit resembling a shadow was dancing.

“No.”

I was the one who answered Rachel’s question.

“This isn’t a hallucination. I did teleport us.”

“What?”

Everyone was surprised at my answer and asked back.

“Then where are we?”

It was a really difficult question to answer.

Actually, I didn’t even know this place existed.

“Sorry, I don’t know that.”

Everyone looked like they couldn’t understand my answer.

“You can teleport to places you don’t know……?”

Eugene intervened in the confused words of Cassius.

“By the way, didn’t the Crown Prince do that? He’s the only one who can teleport throughout the empire.”

I had a hard time explaining this.

I couldn’t explain it clearly because I didn’t know what happened.

“I’ll explain later. Let’s focus on other problems now.”

Still unconscious, I reached for Rayl lying on the ground.

Soon a chain came out of his hand and tied his hands and feet tightly.

“Just in case, I need to do this.”

Astra’s expression of looking at Rayl, who was arrested for chains, was very dark.

She was the one who spent more time with Rayl than anyone else, so she believed him completely.

Then Rayl’s betrayal must have come as a great shock to her.

“But why is he fainting?”

When Rachel asked, Erica carefully raised her hand.

“When the prince and Eugene were held by a monster earlier, I cast an attack spell on the prince. But the magic bounced towards Rayl. I think that’s what happened after he got hit.”

Eugene spit out the blood in his mouth and looked down at Rayl with disapproving eyes.

“It’s rather good. The prince won’t even know we’re here as long as he fainted.”

There was silence for a while at Eugene’s words.

Lying curled up on the ground, it was no longer our friend, Rayl Diamond.

Reluctantly, we had no choice but to call him a traitor.

“But you really don’t know?”

Cassius, who was leaning on me and exhaling hard, said.

“We might have a chase soon. It would be better to move carefully while looking around.”

“I know how you feel, but treatment comes first.”

Blood was dripping from Cassius and Eugene’s arms and legs.

The rest of us were not in good condition either.

I thought it would be good to take basic measures to prevent infection.

“Yes, you’re right.”

Cassius, who said so, quietly closed his eyes.

Soon a golden ball of light flowed around him.

“What is this?”

Rachel, who saw Cassius’ healing magic for the first time, faltered and asked.

The floating light lingered beside Rachel and Astra, who had surprised faces, and especially Eugene, who had a lot of wounds.

“Cassius, are you alright? If you overdo it, you can’t heal yourself.”

I looked anxiously at Cassius with one of his arms on my shoulder and brought it up.

He had already been bitten by a monster and lost some of his mana.

Nevertheless, he was using his healing magic on everyone.

He shouldn’t use it at all.

“I can heal with what’s left of it. It’s okay.”

He gave an unwavering smile.

“Everyone’s watching, but it’s really okay….…?”

Looking sideways at Rachel and Astra, I asked carefully.

He always wanted to hide the fact that he uses healing magic, so he had to be careful.

“It’s meaningless to watch such a secret when the whole country is upside down. So it’s okay.”

Cassius gave an immediate answer without hesitation.

“Hey, don’t push yourself too hard. You don’t have to do this.….”

Eugene looked sorry as he saw a ball of light surrounding him.

“I’m less hurt…….”

“That’s enough. Just take what you are given.”

Cassius remained stubborn until the end.

As a result, everyone but me, who does not have the healing magic of Cassius, has been cleansed without any wounds.

Fortunately, there was still magic to heal himself, so Cassius himself was able to heal himself after everyone’s treatment.

“Yerine, you look like you need treatment.”

“It’s all right.”

The blood from my nose seems to have dried up.

I tried to get rid of blood stains by rubbing my nose, but it didn’t work out as well as I thought.

“I’ll get better soon if I leave it as it is.”

“Still….”

Cassius blurted the end of his words with a worried face.

I shook my head and smiled at him.

In fact, there was a slight pain in the shoulder, but it didn’t hurt much elsewhere.

“But we came here, you did teleport us.”

Eugene wrinkled his forehead and made a confused look.

“But why did you take Diamond too?”

To be honest, I was also curious about something.

When I begged the woman in my dream to help me, I didn’t specifically ask her to take someone with me.

I just want everyone to get out of this dangerous situation together, but the ‘who is in everyone’s scope is not specifically defined.

“I don’t know. I did it right, but I don’t know exactly what happened.”

I opened my mouth with difficulty by organizing my thoughts in my head.

“I just wanted someone to help me. I opened my eyes and I was here.”

“That’s it?”

Erica asked with her eyes round.

“Yeah, so I don’t know why Rayl teleported with us.”

“Wait, so where’s Professor Frain?”

I tried to answer Rachel’s question, but I shut up again.

I couldn’t get the word out of my mouth.

“No way, she couldn’t have gotten out of that tower…….?”

I didn’t want to believe it, but it was likely.

Everyone here knew that.

That’s why no one could talk.

In the forest where the silence had fallen again, all I could hear was the sound of the wind brushing against the leaves for a while.

Until Eugene, who was looking up at the sky, opened his mouth with a wary voice.

“Something is coming from the sky. Get ready, everybody ready!”

As he said, something was flying fast toward us from the sky.

But I knew it wasn’t a monster.

Because the unsub’s colour wasn’t black.

“Wait, wait, wait!”

I fixed my eyes on the growing creature and shouted.

I heard a tremendous roar for a moment.

Along with it, a creature that flew through the clouds toward us completely appeared.

Before anyone could cast a spell, the creature landed quickly and stood in front of us.

The movement was so fast and soft.

“Dragon?”

Casius murmured as if he could not believe it.

The dragon, which gathered its front feet, was as white as snow.

The pressure from the huge body was enormous, but I didn’t think it was threatening us for some reason.

But I guess that’s my thought since Eugene put a blood stick around his neck and shouted.

“Everyone, get your magic ready!”

Just then, the dragon opened his right eye, which was still closed.

The left eye was still closed.

The right eyes, red like blood and shiny like rubies, were so beautiful that I felt like I was going to raise them.

Right away, I knew who it was.

“Wait! No! You can’t attack!”

After saying that, I took a step forward toward the dragon.

“Yerine, what are you doing?”

Cassius dragged me desperately, but I didn’t stop.

“Yerine! Come back! If not then we’ll all burn to death!

Astra screamed with confusion.

“No, it’s okay. She doesn’t mean to hurt us.”

I answered like that and looked up.

My eyes met with her red eyes.

Eyes of the same colour as mine.

“……. I need your help.”

The dragon blinked silently.

The pupil, torn vertically, disappeared behind the eyelid and reappeared.

“Help me, please.”

A moment later, I heard a familiar voice in my head.

[Okay]

At the same time, the entire body of the dragon began to shine.

Soon the huge dragon’s body gradually decreased in size and took the form of a non-dragon person.

Before I knew it, a familiar-looking woman was standing in front of me, not a dragon.

“Good to see you.”

She gave me a gentle smile.

The red eyes revealed through the veil still did not lose its beautiful colour.

“I’ll help you.”

Her right arm, as white and thin as snow, touched my head. As if a mother strokes her young child’s hair. With a gentle touch, she swept my head.

“Who, who is it?”

Cassius hugged my arm tightly and asked, showing his alertness.

The others were also preparing to cast magic with a stiff face in a chaotic situation.

“Guys, it’s okay. I know it’s hard to believe, but please don’t attack.”

Then Erica hesitated to ask.

“Who is she?”

I thought for a moment about what to say to Erica.

I saw her a few times in my dream, but I didn’t even know her name.

But I was sure.

I’m sure she has the key to breaking this situation.

“She’s the one who can help us.”

That was the answer after much consideration.
