Quick judgement

Two quicksilver bullets hit Cael's arm, breaking the bone in two places—but for him, that was a superficial injury. No vital organs were harmed, and his arm would recover in no time.

It was more important to take out the quicksilver dragon before it harmed anyone else from Cael's group.

Plus, Cael wanted to finish the fight quickly so he could help Ginevra and Mimi.

Using the speed from his temporal hastening spell, Cael charged towards the quicksilver dragon. There wasn't a lot of distance between them in the first place, and now there were only a few meters left.

Suddenly, the dragon, who was until now sitting almost without a single twitch, shifted his position. His every movement exuded grace of a liquid and strength of metal, and was performed in a manner that made them look deceptively slow while, in actuality, he moved incredibly swiftly.
