Launched into the air by the monster's tail, the boy's body flew forward like an arrow. Blood flying from the joint where the severed arm had been, it rolled over and over across the floor and finally came to a rest where land met water. It lay there completely still.
Ryuu: Mr....Cranell!
Standing stock-still, Ryuu was barely able to whisper those two words. Time slowed to a crawl. The world went flat—the scene before her very eyes, a lie. Even the water seemed to have stopped flowing. The screams of the other adventurers and the sound of her own heartbeat grew distant. Only the horrible figure of the boy lying faceup where he had landed was fresh and bright.
Ryuu: Bell?!
Ryuu's scream was like silk being ripped. Tearing off the chains of trauma that had held her back, she half dove, half ran toward him.
Ryuu:...?!
She kneeled beside him, dumbstruck. In addition to the severed arm, his whole armorless body was covered in deep cuts and bruises, indicating broken bones. Blood dribbled from his mouth. There was no sign of consciousness in the pair of eyes behind his bangs. Still, it was a miracle that his head was even attached to his body after suffering that fierce blow from the monster's tail. The word death flitted across Ryuu's mind. Shivering and pale, she placed one finger on Bell's neck.
Ryuu:...! He's still alive...?!
Surprised, she leaned toward him. She could just barely make out the faintest sound of breathing.
Ryuu: This scarf must have just narrowly saved him from certain death.
The Goliath Scarf had allowed Bell to take the massive blow to his neck without suffering even a scratch. The material fashioned from the giant's wall of steel had stopped the deadly blow and saved the life of its wearer. Although it had repelled direct damage, however, it had not been able to soften the impact. That alone had inflicted enough damage to make Bell himself think he was dying. Most likely, some of the vertebrae in his neck were fractured.
Ryuu(mind): I have to stop the bleeding from that arm! No, I better do something for his neck first!
Dripping sweat, Ryuu began to chant a spell.
Ryuu: I sing now of a distant forest. A familiar melody of life!
She had used up all her potions during the battle for Knossos and her pursuit of Jura's gang. The spell felt like it stretched on forever, but it was the only recovery magic she had on hand.
Ryuu: Noa Heal!

A gentle light like the dappled sun of a forest surrounded the base of Bell's neck. It was an all-purpose magic with the power to heal surface wounds, as well as other types of damage, and restore strength. However, it did not work immediately like a potion; the length of time required for full recovery was its main drawback.
