Chapter 75: Root Erasure

The big monster hovering in this air is actually a big dragon! What is more, this dragon is breathing fire! I was too scared on moving. The sheer amount of pressure the dragon is giving is just too much for me to handle. This is something I can't control.

Before I can get away, the girl grab me and covered my mouth. I was surprised and was about to ask her what she is about to do when I noticed her chanting magic in gibberish language. When she opened her closed eyes, I was startled to see that her pupils are missing. Her eyes only displays the white color.

"This! Kazuma, this magic is one of the lost Faerie magic, Root Erasure!" Blue blurted out on the phone.

"Root Erasure?"

"Although the name is a bit crappy, this magic is one of the lost Faerie magic that has been said to be passed down to the highest-ranking elves!"

"Elves? Those guys with pointy ears and blonde hair and like to wear green clothes?"

"Yeah, those are the ones. However, according to the magic records, the elven race has long been extinct after World War 2 where they were wiped out from the Magic War that also occurred during the world war."

"Then what does this skill do? Erasing some sort of root?"

"The meaning of its name doesn't really imply to its effect. In reality, it has the ability of the skill "Conceal" but has a higher effect. If Conceal can hide one's presence, Root Erasure can hide the root presence of a place or a whole village, moreover, a few individuals are not enough to describe its power. In short, your existence will disappear temporarily without any kind of skill and ability to detect you. If this skill is cast on you, the root of your existence will disappear during the duration of the skill."

My existence? So that means whatever skills you use, if my existence is not there, then I can't be detected at all?!

"That is not all, according to the records, this is the magic they used to conceal the truth of elf colonies. That is why there are no people who have not seen them. They should have remained hidden until one elf betrayed the whole elves and spilled the beans to the evil magicians and launched an attack to annihilate the elf race."

"So the elves are real?"

"Yes. But that is what I am wondering about. This girl is clearly a human but how come she is able to use a lost Faerie magic?!"

I can't answer that because I have no answer to solve the mystery. Just like what Blue said, as soon as the feeling of the magic enveloped me, the dragon did not even look at us. It is just gobbling the monsters below one by one. It is currently following the stampede.

The stampede lasted for around 5 minutes. And the dragon also remained for 5 minutes before it followed the tail of the stampede further away. I sighed in relief when I managed to make sure the dragon is no longer in the vicinity.

I was just about to say thank you to the girl but I didn't get to do it since she collapsed into the ground.

"She is suffering from Mana Deficiency! She used too much mana to use the Lost Magic for 5 minutes! You need to inject a small amount of mana to help her get out of danger!" Blue said.

"Alright! I will try!"

Gathering the mana in my body towards my left hand, I observed the situation on the girl's body. Her breathing is ragged and her body seems too weak to do anything. Her eyelids are half-open and seem ready to close anytime. 

When I finished gathering enough mana on my hands, I held her hands and transferred the mana slowly. Injecting the mana all at once will kill her so you can only do it slowly. It was a bit hard at first since it is painful to transfer mana to an individual. Although it's different from mana transfer with your familiars, mana transfer with a human is painful.

The good thing is that her condition turned better when I finished the mana transfer. She was still unconscious though.

"Her vitals are stable and her mana starts flowing properly again. She is safe now."

"However, there is still that dragon that we saw earlier. If that monster came back, we are going to surely die."

"Yes, winning is not going to happen if you face against that dragon, in a worst-case scenario, you will end up as food for the dragon. Confrontation with the dragon should be avoided at all costs," Blue said.

I am still weak and that dragon is certainly going to be way stronger than me. From the looks of it, I need to carefully tread on my surroundings especially the caves. If the dragon appears it would be the end of us. This girl's power saved us from the nick of time. With the dragon's senses, we might have been discovered if the Root Erasure was not activated.

After making sure that the coast is clear, I carry the girl down. And yep, I still don't know the name of this girl. I keep on calling her "girl" because I have no idea what her name is. Also, she does resemble the elves in the fantasy visuals and anime that I have seen in the past, minus the pointy ears. Welp, I don't think I have the right to say it, I have to get into the safety first.

...

With the help of Mana Scan, I managed to find a secluded cave. It is not that bad but it was a bit cramped than the last cave I used last time. However, this is good enough for concealing ourselves. The cave entrance is also covered with large bushes which allowed us to get away from any pursuers and also, the dragon won't be seeing me soon.

But what this girl said to me last time made me want to think. If what she said is true, then I can learn any skill I try to learn.

"Blue, help me get a good magic spell that can obliterate a dragon. I think I needed something to beat the dragon up. If only the brass knuckles are here and I will be able to beat up the dragon to pieces."
