CHAPTER 49: Healing the Dragon

"Midnight-sama, I applaud you for your great achievement."

Alpha wiped the emotional tears from the corners of her eyes and clapped vigorously. She would never forget the scene today.

Maybe she is still powerless, but she will never give up following him because she still wants to continue to witness his life.

"Well, thanks, Alpha. I'm sorry, but could you give me a hand. I can't get up."

"...Although it's insignificant, it shows that I still have use..."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing."

The blonde elf smiled.

After that, Alpha assigned tasks to everyone. First, they had to investigate every inch of these [Wind Dragon Ruins]. After all, they must be used as a fortress in the future.

Excluding some ancient institutions, it can be concluded that there will be no other dangers in this place. After all, who in the world can live in the same kingdom as a dragon? Unless there are two dragons, one male and one female.

And with the girls' strength, there's no need to worry too much.

Finally, Leon and Eta studied the Dragon.

"Master, this bloodstain is indeed [the same] as ours."

"As expected, I just said there was a subtle sense of familiarity. Was this dragon really corroded by this?"

After investigation, surprising facts were discovered.

This dragon is actually also undergoing [Demonic Possession]!

The blood clots on his neck and back are likely from the legendary Diablos from thousands of years ago.

His blood can corrode even dragons.

And unlike the curse of Alpha and the others, which was diluted over many generations, these blood clots likely came from the blood of the demon Diablos, who lived thousands of years ago.

The dragon's body is so strong that not even [Demonic Possession] could transform its appearance.

But this curse, which cannot be cured, tortured the dragon's spirit for thousands of years and finally caused it to fall.

"Master, what should we do now?"

"Of course I will save him. I said there would be no more of this [Demonic Possession] curse in this world. I keep my word, even if the target is a dragon."

"...Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Upon hearing what Leon said, instead of feeling happy, Eta showed obvious disappointment.

"What is it?"

"What a pity. I thought I would have the opportunity to dissect a dragon. Master, I signed up to keep a dragon leg, a dragon claw, a dragon wing, and a dragon pupil for research!"

The purple-haired girl said seriously. She reluctantly looked at the dragon lying in front of her. The slime suit had transformed into the shape of a scalpel.

"No, stop it Eta."

"Why is it like this…"

"Hey, you."

Leon shook his head helplessly.

Eta, the research genius among the Seven Shadows, was able to absorb scientific knowledge that was very difficult for Alpha to learn as quickly as a sponge in water.

After introducing her to Anis some time ago, the two hit it off immediately and worked on research and inventions all night... They were both tech nerds.

But what makes Leon a little worried is that this girl seems to have the potential of a mad scientist, because the talent is very strong, and so she can send it out without restrictions... A cute elf with purple hair, laughing while dissecting monster corpses and so on, it looks a little scary.

To this end, Eta, Leon and Alpha made consistent and effective restrictions, in other words... super strict control of this girl's research funds!

(Eta: "NOOOOO! My research funding~~")

"At least, at least let me get some dragon blood!"

"Delta, hold Eta."

"Okay, BOSS!"

Seeing Eta holding a super-giant syringe, determined to extract the dragon's blood, Leon's eyes twitched and he gave the decisive order.

Delta, the wolf girl with the strongest body among the seven shadows, held the delicate research-crazy elf with both hands. No matter how hard Eta struggled, she couldn't escape.

Then he placed his hand on the Dragon and injected the magical power that could cure [Demonic Possession]. The powerful magical power made the fainted dragon open its eyes instantly.

"ROOAAAARRR!!!"

"Tsk, you need to take strong medicine."

The [Demonic Possession] that Alpha and the others went through cannot compare to this, it has been eroded for thousands of years and is so deep-rooted that even Leon is in trouble.

Then he decisively increased his efforts, filling the Dragon's body with such magical power.

Leon: "It's a dragon anyway. Its physical ability is so strong that it won't die even if I'm a little rough. So let's do it all at once!"

Typically, it must be divided into several courses of treatment. Part of the treatment will be done today and another part tomorrow. Only by doing it step by step can it be stable and painless.

But he also has a character that hates problems. Instead of spending a few days doing this, Leon chose to eradicate it once and for all.
