Chapter 6 - Escape

A big roar echo around the place that made the Sirens and the Amphipteres shriek in pain.

Even the Imperial Dragon Baste was covering his ears on his majestic roar. The black hole starts forming a crack and break into pieces.

The Emperor successfully got out from the Sirens clasp as he burned all the remaining Amphipteres and Sides to ashes.

"Emperor Veron, I'm glad your safe." Baste said in relief as his hands turn black when he touched the sirens black hole.

"Your badly injured, You know that a dragon cannot handle the Sirens manipulative power. That black hole could have eaten your soul." Gabriel said as Baste bow down.

"The black hole, If it's not for Redence help you could have been in a serious trouble your majesty. If I was late a little bit more, You could have die." Baste said as he lost consciousness.

"Yeah I could have died if the penguin didn't find me." He said as he looked around as the Knight's finally found their location.

In the Academy where Red was in the healing room. Bless was with her the whole time.

Red wake up by the birds sounds as she looked around and found Bless at the window looking like she had a lot of thoughts in mind.

"Your awake now, You should be grateful that you had received the highest priest healing." She stubbornly said.

Red sigh and feel the mana around her body as she smiled. "The healing was made by the other practicing healer. You didn't actually heal me didn't you?" Red asked that made Bless speechless.

"W-What are you saying?! I'm the one who healed you!"

"The highest priest mana was given by the God's with blessing. It was written in the book that the chosen one would have an astonishing mana. These mana overpowering my body was not a mana from a highest priest but a mere level healer." She added.

"I wish I could kill you this instance." Bless said as Red smirked.

"That's why you didn't heal the knight. You didn't heal him not because of his rank or you don't want to but because you lost your ability of healing." She added.

"SHUT UP!!!!" Bless shouted as she lost her composure. "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! IT TOOK ME A LOT TO BE HERE! YOU JUST DON'T GET IT!"

"That you lost your healing ability?" Red kept pushing Bless button.

"You don't look good." Red said as she smiled at her.

"What?"

"I said you don't look good." She repeated. "What did you do that causes the God's to take your divine power?" She asked again.

"Perhaps you ignore a person in need of your healing and let it die even if you could have save her?"

"I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!!!"

"That's enough Highest Priest Bless." Baste said with a warning tone.

Baste was taken to the clinic of the academy to get his arms healed and when he regain consciousness Veron smiled at him.

"The highest priest will come here in any minute. You could-" Veron didn't even finished his sentence when Baste run as fast as he could to where he can smell Redence mana that's why he came just in time.

"When did you come here Imperial Dragon Baste?" Bless asked as she put down her hand.

Red smiled sadly and sighed. 'If Baste was late for a few second I could have died that instant. I could just feel my mana around lurking in the corridors. My suspicion is right.' Red thought in his head.

"I knew there's something wrong with you highest priest." Baste said.

"The highest priest had lost her divine power." Red said.

"T-Thats absurd! This girl is lying!"

"How can the girl who saved the soldier who got injured by the Amphipteres and Sirens be lying about your powers?" Baste asked.

"How dare you believe a student than a highest priest!!!" Bless shouted as a mana stronger than anyone in the academy starts lurking.

A smell of burning passion. The smell of death. Even Baste the Imperial Dragon flinch with the Emperor's mana as he bow down his head.

"I see there's a commotion here." Gabriel said as he put his dragon mask on. "E-Emperor Veron!" Bless said as he closed both his hands and bow down to her knees.

"I'm sorry about my Imperial Dragon causing you such trouble highest priest Bless." Gabriel said as he pat Baste's head.

'Hmm Red is bedridden, If she had received a healing from the highest priest she should be standing right now.' Gabriel thought as he look back at Bless.

"My Imperial Dragon might have said something rude but we came here in the Academy to receive your divine healing." Gabriel said as that made Bless as pale as a ghost.

"P-Pardon?" She asked as Red sighed knowing the next thing will happen to Bless is get executed.

"Heal the Imperial Dragon's Injury from the Sirens." Gabriel said as Baste take off his cloak and showed his right arm injured as it was turning black like sucking the entire nutrients and mana from his body.

'Thats...' Red though as she knew that it might be painful yet Baste didn't look like he was in pain.

'He was holding the pain this entire time.' she added.

"Heal him now highest priest -"

"W-Well Emperor there's a lots of things to do and there's a process-"

"I'm sure that you won't ignore a emperor's plead for help aren't you? Or is it just you cannot do it?" Gabriele asked.

Bless give up.

"I lost my healing ability your highness! I didn't know what happen that day it was a vivid memory of mine I cannot-" Bless stopped talking when she raised her head and saw the Emperor's eyes looking at her.

"Then why are you still leading the academy when your not a healer anymore?" He asked.

"Students learned how to use their skills by the highest priest guidance. How will you guide them if you can't even heal anymore?" Gabriel asked as he teleported Bless to the Imperial Dungeon without even hearing a word from her.

"Ughhhhhhh!!!!" Baste screamed in paid as his condition got worsen.

"Emperor Veron, I am not a skilled healer knor have the highest ability to heal like the highest priest but I believe Baste got himself caught by the Siren's black hole." Baste and Gabriel was too speechless to talk.

"I believe the highest priest is way capable than I am but please allow me to heal the Imperial Dragon." She added.

"Why would I let you touch my disciple?" Gabriel asked testing her out.

"Because if it's too late the only way to save him is to amputate his whole arm." She said as she showed a mini penguins coming to Baste.

"What do you want in return for this?" Gabriel asked.

"Could you sent a word from me to one of your Imperial Guards your majesty?" She asked.

"What is it?"

"Tell the Imperial Guard Gabriel give me another year to prepare, I don't think I am capable enought to face him." She said as she felt her body cracking.

'I just don't want him to see me this way.' she thought as Gabriel just stared at her.

'Did she somehow made a mess in her body by acquiring these familiar to heal the person from afar?' the emperor thoughts are so deep that he cannot stop staring at Redence.

"Gabriel wanted a wife and a child, I cannot give that to him with this body of mine." She said as she cannot even move her head.

"What happened to you?"

"The highest priest gave me a punishment for belittling her. Yet I didn't receive a full treatment from my injury. I gave all my mana to Gabriel as he was in danger and my remaining one to Baste." She explained.

"The highest priest needs to be replaced by someone who was blessed by the golden light." Gabriel said.

"Indeed, They say getting healed by the golden light also means resurrecting someone from near death." Red smiled saying such stuff.

'Yet she did heal me in a hundred percent that made it impossible for me to break free from the black hole and kill all the sirens and Amphipteres. Yet the light she's showing is a blue flame.' Gabriel was lost in his thoughts when one of the familiar penguin touched his foot and smiled at him.

"When I heal someone that doesn't mean that they will be okay. They will only be resurrecting the body's original form for days but the body will go back to its shape when the penguin starts evaporating." She explained.

"So your saying that your healing is like a borrow of mana? To ressurect the mana and body to its shape for days?" Gabriel asked as Red nodded.

"I'm not a professional healer yet. I'm a student I learned this technique as it will be beneficial to someone who needed an immediate healing." She explained.

'I know this will not be enough for me to face Gabriel.'

"Thats why I beg you great Emperor Veron, To pass my message to the royal guard Gabriel." Gabriel smirked upon hearing such words by Redence.
