I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 125: ~Zoe~ Collect

"Third one!" said the girl while hitting the stone wall in front of us hard.

Duarr!!

.

.

"I feel the aura of their existence ahead there…/"

"What's up, miss?"

"N-no, there's nothing hehehe" the girl said with a smile.

"I'll walk first! excuse me!" I hurried to go to my friends' place.

"All right, we'll catch up" the tiger told me.

.

.

Long enough to run down the cave and destroy the three stone walls that previously made Lia and Luna, me and the demon girl along with her white tiger finally arrived at the last turn where Jun and my other comrades were taking shelter.

However, suddenly the girl stopped her steps and fell silent with a face that looked hesitant, even though I did not care much about her and then went first to meet my friends.

...

"June! how are you and the others?" I asked while panting.

"Zoe!? you're back! is help coming?! where are they?!'' jun said while asking me back.

"Y-yeah, that's how they'll follow"

A demon girl and a beast.

Arriving in front of them there was not much change happening in this place, the injured and tired-looking people were sitting lined up leaning against the cave wall with weapons and armor lying on the ground, the injured and tired-looking people were sitting on the ground, I then questioned Jun about his condition as well as the state of the other soldiers and was answered with a question that had been very hopeful there would be help.

Honestly I was confused as to how to explain it to them, the one who would help us was not a warrior or adventurer from the kingdom, but just a teenage demon and a monstrous monster.

"Hey what exactly is going on out there? why is this place crystallizing like this? are you guys fighting a powerful demon?" said Fio one of the female witches in our group.

"Yes, I also want to know that" Jun said along with the other soldiers with an expression of astonishment.

"There is no time to explain that, while the situation is still safe we have to leave this place./" I turned around.

"Well, excuse me, w-can I help you?" said the demon girl earlier appearing slowly behind me.

Good, really not a good time.

Asked in confusion Fio one of the witches in our group stood up and looked very astonished by the walls and cave passage that had been enveloped by bright shining crystals, likewise, Jun also seemed very curious about what was happening, and once again I was confused about how to choose the right sentence to explain it.

And I finally turned my attention by turning around and telling them to get out of this cave, but before I could finish my words, the demon girl stood right in front of me, hesitatingly offering us help.

He clasped his hands timidly with his gaze pointed downwards and his wings slightly lowered, while it was different from its master the tiger looked very leisurely lying on its head with both hands - the front legs - dangling almost to the forehead of the girl, he said, and the appearance of the two of them was really very imprecise because I haven't explained anything about them to my comrades.

"Devil!" said a frightened soldier.

I've guessed...

"No need to worry, he's on our side" I said as I stood his back to the girl.

"Zoe! come here!" said Jun pulling my collar.

…

"How can you possibly trust a demon at a time like this?! he might be planning something, do you want to harm our group huh?!" jun said annoyedly while whispering to me.

Sure enough they were all dumbfounded to death to see the same girl when I first saw her, if seen with the naked eye she was indeed just a pretty girl with horns and wings, indeed, but behind it all there was an enormous aura emanating from his body even a warrior who was not proficient in magic would be very clearly able to sense it.

In order to avoid any misunderstandings I then told them that the girl was on our side, but Jun who heard it immediately pulled my neck in annoyance and dragged me away from the girl then whispered while embracing me along with my other comrades.

"I told you he was on our side, before he had saved me as well as Luna, Lia and Kie, I could vouch for him."

"Where are the three of them? why did you just come here alone?" one of the soldiers beside me.

"The three of them he brought back to the city…/"

"Did you see him do that?" keep Fio asking.

" … "

"If there's nothing to help I'll wait outside, excuse me. Sorry to bother you" said the girl, looking down slightly as she turned to leave us.

Whispering for a while they sounded annoyed and disbelieving at what I said about the girl, well even though I mentioned that Kie, Luna, was, and Lia has him saved honestly I myself don't know if it's true or not because I didn't see it directly with my own eyes, and I couldn't make a sound at all when Fio asked that.

And with a thin smile, the demon girl looked down a little and left us, even though I was afraid of her, but somehow I also felt bad to see her like that, even though he smiled, his facial expression looked gloomy and very sad.

...***...

"Zoe, explain what you mean!" jun told me.

"It's hard to explain, but I trust him! I know we're at war, but that doesn't mean all demons are as evil as our enemies, if they're evil then why didn't they kill us in the first place? that's because he's a good demon.believe it or notit's up to you guys! you can hit me later if he does…/"

Bruck...

"Yahhh!!! why did you suddenly hit me huh!!?"

"That's not how stupid you are!!! see if he kills us all even if I die, I'll beat your face until you're thrown into hell!!" jun shouted as he walked past me.

"Woi, you know that's impossible, right?" say him.

"Come all! we're leaving!!" continued again.

"GOOD!!!" the other at the same time.

...

"Haah, whatever is important they want to believe and get out of this place" I said staring at the line of soldiers who passed me.

Jun then asked me to explain my careless deed, and I calmly replied that I trusted the girl because I believed she was a good person, but I didn't force them to believe it either because the most important thing now was their safety to get out of this forest of fear.

I also allowed them to hit me if the girl was an evil demon and intended to harm us, but I haven't had time to finish my words so hard Jun hit me in the face and I'm pretty upset about that, because I'm allowing it if I misjudge the girl, however, even today it is still very safe without any strange movements from it.

Even so Jun instead returned to yelling at me in annoyance and threatening me with something that could not possibly happen, he looked very confident in his words, saying, but it doesn't matter to me because I'm pretty relieved they're willing to believe my words.

... ⁇ ️ POV June️...

" Hey you look so fresh fit, have your wounds improved?" ask Zoe to me.

" Yes it seems so, I feel much better than before." I said as I clenched my hands.

"… I feel something strange about this crystal cave, do you feel it too?" I asked as I continued walking while looking back a little

"Yes I feel my body is much better" said one of the soldiers.

"I also felt it, even the wound on my hand disappeared!" another soldier.

"So yes." I said as I continued walking.

Long enough to walk inside this crystal cave I felt that there was a significant change to my health, it could even be said that I had recovered from the massive wounds I had previously gotten from my fight with several undead troops, and not even only did I feel that way, but all of my comrades as well.

My body condition really felt very different as if my strength and stamina had returned and perhaps that was the underlying reason for Zoe's earlier question.

"Zoe, did that girl change this cave?" I asked while picking up a crystallized stone.

"How do you know? I haven't even said it" said Zoe.

"I see the earrings are the same as the crystals in this cave." I observed the stone I took earlier.

"Saking watch out for him, you pay attention to him in such detail" Zoe told me.

Simply by observing the state of this cave I can guess that this cave is crystallizing due to the power of the demon girl brought by Zoe, apart from looking at the accessories she was wearing I also deduced it from the huge aura she had, I was like being inside a block of ice while grasping the flames in my hand, her aura feeling cold, cold, but also warms.

Hm.. This crystal stone is extremely hard!

"... I've never seen anyone combine the four elements of magic together, he's on a level very much different from ours, I can't even break an ice crystal this small."

To me this weirdness is something extraordinary because all my life only this time I saw the magic fusion that was so mesmerizing and it was because of this that I could trust the girl a little bit, its power far surpassed us even when I used my magic to suppress the small crystal in my hand I still could not destroy it.

"Wait a minute, not just three?" zoe asked me while raising her eyebrows in astonishment.

"Where did you put your head Zoe?" sahutku. •_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•

"Four? a three? what do you mean?" said a soldier behind me.

"Normally most of the people can only use two magic mergers, simply water and wind become ice, and the same as when we cook water warmed with fire can make the water boil, the water boil, sometimes people unconsciously use two different powers" I tell them.

Slightly arguing with Zoe because of something that astonished me then explained a little about the incorporation of magic that is often not realized by people, he said, but in the process most people would only be able to combine two magic powers and that was the normal limit of all living beings which meant that the power of that demonic girl was far from normal.

"So what do you mean by four magic at once?" ask Fio.

"Look around you, Fio, you're a witch, aren't you?" sahut Zoe to him.

"Hm...?"

"I doubt your abilities as a witch" Zoe told him.

"Eh! I haven't even answered!!"

"It's ice magic, but with a very different level of power, I also thought it was a crystal at first, but it felt cold in my hand" I explained to her.

Confused by my statement Fio seemed to be racking his brain to observe the state of this cave after Zoe asked him to pay attention to her surroundings, but he looked difficult to understand the surrounding circumstances so I then told him that this cave was covered by ice magic.

However, the ice magic used by the girl is very strong with a high level, normally the ice will melt if the veranda is too long above the ground, but the ice from the girl did not melt and instead crystallized fused with nature which proved that her power was extraordinary.

"Oh, then what about the other two?"

"Magic light and healing" I replied.

"Isn't light magic and healing the same thing?" sahut Zoe's.

"After thinking about it, Zoe has a point Jun" said Liyt, a fellow wizard of Fio

"I know that, you idiot!"

"So why would you conclude it like that?" ask Zoe.

"You know my brother is a holy priest? so you guys don't have to criticize me about light magic!!" I said while clenching my hand.

"Y-yeah m-sorry" they said simultaneously.

"Haah, it is because of my brother that I made it two different types of magic when looking at the way it is used, my brother used pure light magic to perform healing on 'curses', my brother used pure light magic to perform healing on 'curses', but have you ever thought of using light magic to do illumination?! it's a crazy thing.. moreover healing magic there is a simple form that can heal all wounds beyond 'curses' right? so it's been two different magic" I explained to them.

" … "

"Light magic is magic to unplug and heal curses, while healing magic is to heal ordinary wounds, whereas the wounds we are experiencing are physical injuries which means that he used healing magic and that's why I'm sure that he used four magic mergers, you understand the critic?!!!" I said as I glared at Zoe.

"Y-yeah I-I understand..I understand, ha haha" said Zoe raising her hand while turning her face.

Continuing to walk while explaining my previous words everyone seemed to be silent listening to my explanation when answering all the questions from Zoe, Fio, and Liyt.

Zoe seemed to be in disbelief and doubtful about my words about light magic and healing because she thought the two magic were the same thing, she said, hearing his doubts in my opinion I then slightly snapped at him because in fact there was a fundamental difference between the two magic and because my brother was a holy priest I could know about light magic more than anyone who could it's right here.

I explained to them in enough detail about the difference between light magic and healing that was very clear from the way it was used, he said, everyone who listened to my explanation fell silent without saying any more and when I finished speaking I then stared intently at Zoe and made her look sweaty while turning her gaze in a different direction to get away from my eyes.

Our journey to get out of the cave was filled with quite serious statements and conversations about magic and power differences.

... ⁇ ️ POV Zoe ️...

"Supervise! I'm the winner."

"Yes yes you're right, hurrah" I said uninspiredly.

"You mind?!" jun said while clenching his hands.

"No" I turned my face away.

.

.

THE DUAR!!

"What's that?!" i'm surprised.

...

"W-what's that?" said the soldier behind me.

"Stay behind me and don't move!" said the white tiger earlier to us.

With a smug smile that led to me Jun acted as if he was winning a war game and it was quite annoying for me, and lifting up one hand cheered him with a limp attitude not excited because indeed I was not eager to respond.

And suddenly, just a few meters away from the mouth of the cave, a loud bang was heard from outside the cave breaking our silence, hearing the loud enough impact made us speed up to get out of the cave and sure enough the girl was fighting with another horned man wearing a black armor like snake scales.

But something that really surprised me was that the girl looked weak when fighting against even no resistance against her, she said, he looked helpless as the man strangled him with several wounds and wings that seemed to have been broken, I even saw a tear in her eye and suddenly the tiger girl jumped in front of me and asked us to remain silent behind her without moving.

"W-what happened to him?" I asked the tiger.

"As you can see" he answered briefly.

"Why don't you help him? he looked extremely desperate by that person!" say again.

"No, Miss Shea won't be happy with that"

"It's not that the girl is so strong! why does he look so weak? he didn't even give her the slightest resistance!" june asked, bracing.

"No matter how strong Miss Shea is, she will never fight that person, not because she is unable to fight him, but because there is something that makes her not want to do that, even if his life is threatened" said the tiger sitting in front of us as he stared at the girl.
