Hot Rod who stood beside him heard the murmur and nodded in agreement. He had never thought that he would have the honour to witness such a thing in this life. Hot Rod also became curious about the Library that Elora had talked about before. 

Elora had said that she learned this spell from the Library. He could not believe that there was such a powerful spell inside the library. Then a thought appeared inside his head. Are there even more powerful spells there?

He looked at Kadyn who had resumed his calm expression once more and awe-filled Hot Rod's heart. Not just him, even Barret was lost in thoughts. He glanced at Kadyn from the corner of his eyes and made a decision. Kadyn didn't realise that this display of Elora had changed many people's thinking towards him.

Slowly the shadow of the woman from behind Elora faded and the rain stopped. As soon as the rain stopped, Elora's face turned pale, and she held her head and screeched with a heart-wrenching voice. Kadyn was horrified seeing this and dashed towards her and held her tightly.

"What happened, Elora?" Kadyn said with a pale face. His heart was full of panic. "Say something!" He slapped gently on her face, but her eyes were only half-opened. She looked at him from the slit and said with a weak and trembling voice. "I-I'm fine. Nee-need to rest. Wa-ter."

"Bring some water, Khrom!" He shouted without turning back. And gazed at her pale face that looked as if someone had sucked the blood out of her body. His heart pained as he stared at her face. If he knew this would happen he would have never, never let her do such a thing. He just wanted to let people know that there was an amazing healer in the city. Alas...

That spell was too powerful. It wasn't something that an Elementary Mage could perform. But then again, that spell was made for Elementary Mage. Star patterns were for Elementary Mage, and she used the star pattern to cast that spell. Then why did she suffer such a backlash? He could not understand.

"Water!" Khrom rushed towards him with a water bottle and passed it to Kadyn. Elora had already closed her eyes, but she wasn't unconscious, Kadyn placed the rim of the bottle on her lip and let her drink. After that, she eyed Kadyn through the slit of her eyes and whispered. "I want to rest."

"Yes, yes," Kadyn was covered in sweat due to panic. His heart almost stopped beating due to her condition. Almost. Though she was weak she could still see his pale face, she curled her lips and warmth filled her heart and placed her head on his chest and then closed her eyes, falling asleep. 

Kadyn brought her into the house. "What happened to Elora?" Rayna, who was playing with children, looked at Kadyn with a dumbfounded expression and asked. "Why are you carrying her like that? Is she alright?"

Kadyn sighed and said. "She should be alright after some rest. I guess." Then he headed towards Elora's room. Ten minutes later he came back. He looked at Rayna and said. "Take care of her. Please, pay attention if she wakes up and needs something."

Rayna nodded, and he headed out of the house. But then he heard Kove asking in a low voice. "What happened to Sister Elora, Mom?" Then Melvona followed. "Is she sick, Aunt Rayna? But wasn't she alright just a few minutes ago?"

Rayna didn't know how to reply as she had no idea what had happened to her. 

Kadyn didn't remain to hear the conversation and walked towards the area where everyone was present. "Is Miss Elora alright?" Barret asked. He was worried that Kadyn would blame them. 

After all, it happened while she was helping his people. Though it was somewhat unfair for them as it was Kadyn who asked them to come, this world was where strong ruled. No one gave a damn about rules or integrity.

However, Kadyn just waved his hand and said, "She is alright, needs some time to recover. That's it."

Elora was his Employee, he could see her status. She was fine, however, it was good that she didn't force herself too much or her Mana Pool might have exploded due to the pressure. Kadyn could not help but shiver at that prospect. She would have become crippled if that had happened.

Then he looked around him and asked. "How's your people doing?" 

Barret sighed in relief when he saw that Kadyn was not upset. Then an excited look appeared on his face. "All of them have completely recovered. They are just exhausted but after a few days' rest, I'm sure they will be as good as new. Miss Elora is really the reincarnation of the Goddess of Healing."

"Did you bring the thing that I want?" Kadyn changed the topic and asked another question, peering at Barret. The man saw his gaze and became a little embarrassed as he replied. "We need some time to extract dragon's blood. In this period, we were busy, so didn't have time to do the task that Sir Kadyn entrusted to us."

Kadyn frowned and said. "I don't want to force you, but you should know that the people from the headquarters would be reaching in the city at any time. They would demand the dragon's body from you as soon as they arrived. 

"It is a great treasure after all. We have time to take out the blood from its body and can say that the mysterious magus was the one who took it away. However, after they arrive, it will be hard." He looked at Barret and went on. "At that time don't blame me for not giving you any face."

Barret nodded his head seriously and said. "Don't worry. As soon as I go, I will deal with this matter."

Kadyn stared at his grave expression and said. "I hope you will do as you promise me."
