Dragon Tales: Reincarnation

The Broken Demon Lord.

"Hngh..."

Ouch. This pain.

"Huh? Oh... they took me to a bed. This is comfy but it's unsettling too." I say.

The bed is nice and all but all the curtains around it are torn and the wood is going kinda black. You can see that the room hasn't been in care since who knows when.

[Awake?]

Hmm.

[How's the pain?]

Somewhat fine.

[That's good then. I was a tiny bit worried. Only a tiny bit because I knew what had happened.]

What did happen?

[Well. The first thing is you are dumb. You are dumb for a good reason so I won't blame you for the thing you did back there.]

Hey! Not blaming me is good and all but why am I dumb?

[Well you are an idiot for using a skill when you didn't know what it was. Many skills could be used in its place.]

But you didn't tell me that!

[Well I was panicked too so that is why I said I won't be blaming you. I partly blame myself for what happened.]

Oh..hmm.

[To put it in easier words, you had a Sub-skill under your angelic skill that allows you to take any injury or any illness from a person upon yourself and destroy it within your own body.]

Oh... so that is what [Reversal] is...

[Yeah and don't you dare use it again.]

O-Okay... I won't...

[Good. Now I'll activate a healing spell. It should eliminate the pain and heal the traces of the illness completely.]

Do it please. This pain in my chest is a bit uncomfortable.

[I know. I can feel it too.]

What...?

[Oh. Nothing.]

Wait...

['Light's Cure"]

What was that? There was a bright light above my head just now...

[It's a type of healing spell specifically meant for illnesses.]

You say an illness but what was it? I haven't seen anything like that before.

[Well... it's Mana Poisoning.]

What's that?

[It happens when you are exposed to High Amounts of mana. She must have Mana Overload and when she exposed herself to mana again... She fell ill.]

That could explain the Mana Oversaturation inside the barrier. Remember? I said that the barrier was breaking apart. Could it be that she was trying to fix it from the outside?

[It's possible. It's also possible that she doesn't understand how it works. It seems that she is a kid. She must be a bunch of years old but if you think according to human standards... you could say that she's 12.]

12 you say?! And she's handling the Demon Realm?!

[To state the cruel truth... There isn't much left here. This world will be destroyed.]

Is that really true? I don't want it to...

[Don't go getting any reckless ideas. You won't die but don't dare put yourself through pain.]
