We traveled through time together, but I'm the only dragon? The others are all beautiful girls?

Displacement Beast

A large, dark blue, leopard-like creature with six legs and two flexible whiskers on its back, the tips of which are spiked.

The speed is approximately thirteen meters per second.

Possesses dark vision

Tentacles can attack

Habits similar to leopards

Prefers to attack single life forms

He possesses a magic that interferes with light, causing his image to shift several meters away from his actual location.

Green Ghost Woman

The green version of the witch is also a terrifying old woman covered in tattered cloth, with a hooked nose and sharp teeth.

vicious face and cold eyes

They often disguise themselves as pitiful or harmless, and live in swamps, forests, or nightmares.

Skilled at imitating voices to deceive others

Revealing one's true form can instill fear in the enemy.

They usually do not confront the enemy head-on.

Able to create magical illusions that appear real

Can become invisible

When invisible, it leaves no physical trace of its existence, and therefore cannot be detected by any non-magical means.

The most troublesome thing about witches is their gathering. When a witch is in a gathering state, her CR (Cost Reduction) becomes 5, and she can share spellcasting, up to the sixth-circle spell Mind Gaze, which inflicts one of three negative effects—sleep, panic, or illness—on a target within her gaze.

Volume 1 Snowfield Dragon Lord: Chapter 60. Magical Healing Bath

First, there is light.

Pure, immaculate, pure white light that seems to dissolve even the concept of "existence".

In this realm of logic, which seemed to be the origin of the world, besides light, there was only a wisp of shimmering gold, radiating starlight—the last remaining consciousness of Ying, almost completely overwhelmed by that ultimate pleasure.

She didn't know why she had come here.

She had no idea what she had just done. Exhausted, the "conceptual entity" possessed no strength whatsoever; her consciousness was like a feather adrift on a windless sea, light and adrift, without any anchor. Had she already "died"? Completely and utterly destroyed in that world-shattering storm…

【——@＃$%^＆*·§℃‰€L.JPY¤♂♀%★☆$七十二＃?$%——】

A very familiar voice resounded directly in her soul.

"...!"

Ying didn't know what she had agreed to, but with that seemingly instinctive response, she felt her 'body' become incredibly relaxed in that instant.

The pure white light quickly faded, revealing her nearly perfect body.

The unsightly bulge in her lower abdomen, caused by overfeeding, was slowly subsiding. Her dull, lifeless eyes, like gold covered by a layer of gray silk, seemed to have been ruined—she remembered how Akalion's merciless and brutal assault had completely shattered her, as if even the concept of self had vanished in that raging storm.

The moment this thought crossed her mind, Ying began to feel her 'body' become incredibly heavy. The lingering pleasure that could corrupt even the gods still flowed slowly through every corner of her body like warm lava, bringing intense stimulation.

Darkness enveloped everything, followed by the sound of flowing water.

A wave of physical fatigue surged up, but amidst this exhaustion, my consciousness gradually became incredibly clear.

Sudden.

A soft glow appeared before my eyes.

She seemed to be completely enveloped by the warm, misty steam, and everything in her vision gradually became clearer.

She struggled to open her eyes and looked around. It was an extremely spacious and magnificent dark green bathroom, with patterns made of precious gemstones adorning the walls and pillars, which shimmered faintly.

Her entire body, except for her head, was basically submerged in a pool of steaming hot water.

Suddenly, a voice rang out beside me.

"Hey, you're finally awake!"

Eleanor was leaning against the poolside, making up an old joke from Skyrim.

"How...did I get here? Where's Akalion?"

Ying's voice carried a hint of panic.

It was as if, the moment she woke up, she had lost the most important pillar that supported her existence, and she became incredibly vulnerable.

The pool water was clearly very warm and comfortable, but she felt nothing at all.

She struggled to get up from the warm pool, but Eleanor reached out and gently pressed her shoulder down.

"Don't move around too much, your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Soak a little longer, the water in this pool contains the positive energy transformed by the Secret Light Tower, it can heal your over-damaged body very well."

“Where is Akalion?” Ying emphasized again, her voice even trembling slightly. “Where did he go?”

“You don’t want him to come in at this time, do you?” Eleanor sighed helplessly. “This is the Mystic Tower of Akalion. He’s waiting here to handle city affairs and won’t go anywhere else.”

“…Waaah—”

Ying struggled to her feet, her body heavy and limp as if filled with lead, desperately wanting to see Akalion. The indescribable unease stemming from the emptiness of her soul was driving her almost mad.

"Wait a moment!"

Eleanor then realized that Luminous was more vulnerable than she had imagined, and although they had similar experiences, they were ultimately different.

She immediately dodged and grabbed Ying's petite body tightly from behind. At the same time, the writhing darkness extended from her shadow, transforming into soft shackles that temporarily restrained her.

Then, Eleanor shouted towards the door:

"Akaleion!"

"what happened?"

Almost instantly, the heavy brass door to the bathroom opened automatically, and Akalion's enormous dragon head, with a mixture of concern and confusion, peered into the steamy space.

"What happened? Is the water too hot? Is the heating too weak? Or is there not enough positive energy from the Tower of Mystery in the pool? No problem, these are all easy to solve. I can take care of it with a Radiant Breath."

"—"

From an unknown source, an unparalleled power suddenly erupted from Ying's petite body.

In an instant, she broke free from Eleanor and the writhing darkness's restraints, without even using her elemental powers, and stumbled and ran towards Akalion.

Seeing this, Akalion quickly stepped forward and caught the swaying Luminous with his own head. He looked at the pitiful face with tears streaming down the corner of her eye, which was almost touching his left eye.

"What happened? Did you have a nightmare?"

"No."

Ying simply nestled her cheek against Akalion's warm scales.

In that instant, she felt the whole world become peaceful and tranquil again. The emptiness and unease that had driven her mad were instantly filled.

That feeling of warmth once again filled her entire body.

This put her at ease.

"What happened?"

Akalion glanced at Eleanor behind him with his right eye, and seeing her expression of utter dismay, he could only wait for Luminous to speak slowly.

"..."

Ying remained silent for a long time.

Starting from the tips of her snow-white ears, her entire delicate cheeks slowly blushed with a captivating rosy hue.

She stammered, speaking in a voice barely audible:

"I... I just... I just didn't see you when I woke up, so... I was a little scared."

"..."

Akalion remained silent, gently wrapping his thick dragon tail around Ying's waist, a gesture that replaced the embrace that was impossible due to their size difference.

At the same time, he carefully placed her back into the warm pool water.

“It was my fault,” he said with an unwavering solemn promise. “I will never let you wake up alone again.”

"Then am I not a human being?"

Eleanor stood expressionless to the side, emanating an almost tangible, dense aura of darkness.

"sorry!"

Akalion apologized swiftly without the slightest hesitation.

“What I mean is, I won’t let you wake up feeling alone again.” He added slowly, a hint of embarrassment in his voice, “After all, it was Eleanor who took you to the bath.”

Having said that, his enormous dragon body, with a touch of awkwardness as thick as a city wall, carefully sank into the super-large bathtub that seemed rather small to him. The water churned violently as his body entered, almost overflowing the tub.

“If I were watching over you, I might not be able to resist launching another attack on you before you wake up.” He tried to defuse Eleanor’s ’resentment’ with a self-deprecating tone, “like Don Quixote charging at the windmills. But this time, it’s the windmills that are charging, and Don Quixote is powerless to resist.”

"Is...is that so?"

Ying submerged herself completely in the warm pool water, leaving only her golden eyes sparkling with shyness visible. She glanced somewhat bashfully at Eleanor by the poolside and whispered:

"Thank you, Eleanor."

“You’re welcome, Ying.” Eleanor had already regained her composure, her ruby-like eyes as calm as an abyss. “This is my way of repaying you for comforting me earlier.”

As she spoke, her expression became somewhat serious.

"However, next time, you must not 'fight' in that 'stable area' again, otherwise who knows if you will be as lucky as this time when you appear in reality next time."

"I-I know."

Even if it was another 'me' who pointed this out, Ying would still find it hard not to feel shy! She simply submerged her entire head in the water and started blowing bubbles.

The pure positive energy in the pool water allowed her to breathe freely even underwater.

As she awoke, her body seemed to begin operating at full speed, like a greedy vortex, constantly absorbing the healing energy from the pool water to repair the almost completely healed laceration.

A moment later, she resurfaced, shook her wet, golden hair, and the girlish shyness on her face was replaced by a completely different seriousness.

"What happened to Ansersheen?" Yingke hadn't forgotten what Eleanor had said earlier, that Akalion was waiting to deal with the city's affairs.

Eleanor and Akalion then informed Luminous about the [Cataclysmic Realm].

"Why isn't there any information about levels [II], [III], and [IV]?" Ying asked curiously after listening.

"Because I can guarantee that I can handle any unexpected situation except for Level I. Starting from Level II, the Calamity Domain will directly pollute the mind."

Akalion gently stirred the water in the pool with his thick dragon tail, creating ripples.

"Since I've never encountered it before, I can't be sure if that contamination will affect my current mind. So I can only say that, most likely, it can eliminate the threat of evil magical creatures within."

“And the magical items in the Tower of Mystic Light and the city that can be used to protect the mind are stored in a demiplane that has not yet been reconnected,” Eleanor added. “To connect them, the corresponding sequence towers must be repaired. But to repair the sequence towers, we must cross the forest eroded by the Calamity and reach the old site of the First Royal Court to obtain the Star Crystals needed for repair.”

"This sounds like the classic game 'you need to level up to defeat the boss, but you need to defeat the boss to level up' setting."

Ying felt somewhat helpless about this.

"However, didn't you obtain that extinguished 'divine spark'?" She suddenly remembered something. "Although it has been extinguished, its essence is still a 'divine spark,' a certificate of immortality and demigodhood. It should provide some protection and not cause any negative effects, right?"

"Hard to say."

Akalion's voice carried a hint of uncertainty. Even as he lay prone at the bottom of the pool, part of his broad, ridge-like back remained exposed above the water. There was no way around it; this enormous bath was never designed for colossal monsters like true dragons.

“Ahem, Eleanor,” he suddenly spoke, breaking the brief silence, “could you help me wipe my back? Just a damp cloth will do.”

“Leave it to me,” Eleanor replied calmly, as if it were just an ordinary task. “But afterwards, you’ll have to help me too.”

The long-awaited bath also brought Eleanor a sense of tranquility she hadn't experienced in thousands of years, along with a feeling of shame for not having bathed before.

"I want to come too!"

Before the words were even finished, a golden figure leaped out of the water with a joyful shout, landing steadily on the platform by the pool. Ying's face wore a vibrant, eager smile.

"My body has fully recovered!"
