Reincarnated as a Red Dragon, Discipline Makes Me Stronger!-Chapter 80 - Medicine to Treat Mia!

Max had returned to his lair.

After confirming Mia’s injuries once again, Max frowned.

‘As expected, Mia’s injuries are getting more and more serious.’

Due to her weak body, Mia’s self-recovery ability was extremely poor.

Even though the damage that Mia had suffered was not even one-third of Max’s, it was still enough to take Mia’s life.

It had only been a short while since Max had left, and yet, Mia’s lifeforce had already weakened greatly.

At her current condition, she did not even have the strength to move her claws. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

Even opening her eyes had proven to be an arduous task for Mia.

Many wounds on her body were still bleeding slightly.

Any other dragon, even if they were newborns, would at least be able to stop their bleeding.

However, Mia was unable to do so. Her body was too weak.

The system had already given Mia a conclusion before she was even born.

Without someone to protect her, Mia would definitely not live to adulthood.

Max looked at Mia’s wound with heartache. He ground the healing herbs into powder and wiped it on Mia’s wound.

Mia’s weak body was not something she had chosen of her own free will. On the contrary, because of her weak body, Mia had a stronger will than most dragons at her age.

It could be said that even many adventurers were incapable of matching Mia’s determination.

Max applied the medicinal herbs over Mia’s wound, and as if she had absorbed the healing energy contained, her blood soon stopped flowing out of her wounds.

However, the wounds were still there. They showed no signs of healing.

If it were Max, the wound on his skin would have already healed fully at this point!

‘Could there be such a huge difference in abilities between dragons?’

Max frowned.

Should the situation continue any further, even a simple bacterial infection would be able to take Mia’s life.

Max shook his head helplessly and said to Mia, whose eyes were tightly shut. It was unknown whether she had already lost consciousness or not.

“Mia, this might hurt a little. I’ll need you to bear with it.”

With that, Max opened his huge mouth, and fierce flames burst out from it.

A fire spell!

It was an ability that he had obtained from devouring Tahir.

Although he had devoured the mixed-blood Dragonkin, Max, who had yet to take a nap, did not obtain his power.

The flames burned around Mia’s wound!

Max wanted to disinfect Mia’s wound. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

Mia’s body trembled. Max’s fire spell had caused great pain to her.

“Ding Dong!”

In Max’s mind, the mechanical voice of the system suddenly appeared.

Then, a familiar interface appeared in front of Max.

[ Host Max, the immediate danger has now passed. However, your sister has entered a deep slumber. In the face of this situation, please make your choice. ].

[ 1. I Am a proud Red Dragon, family means nothing to me! Why should I care about my sister? ]

[ Ignore the heavily injured Mia. Mia’s probability of death will increase by 500%! Reward: Language of Death ability that gives you the ability to control most undead creatures! ]

[ 2. The weak Mia is too much of a burden for me, but she’s still my sister, so I’ll save her. As long as she’s breathing, I don’t care about anything else. ]

[ At the very least, I have to help Mia get out of her predicament. Obtain Language of Death: Undead Calamity. Upon death, you will immediately transform into an Ancient Undead Dragon. As a result of this transformation, you will gain the enmity of the Mother Goddess, Tiamat. ]

[ 3. Now that mother has left, I’m the only one that Mia can rely upon! If I abandon her here, where else will Mia seek protection from? ]

[ Head to the Moldos Plateau, locate the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal, and get rid of Mia’s frail constitution for good! Rewards: Frozen Dragon Coffin, improve Mia’s physique greatly while she falls into a deep slumber, and bestow upon her an affinity for the ice element[1]! ]

Max was stunned by what he read.

Although the system had given Max three different options, the third option was his one and only choice!

Moreover, the rewards from the third option had caused Max’s eyes to light up!

Not only would it completely rid Mia of her weak physique, it would even provide her with an affinity for the ice attribute!

Although he did not know whether this would permanently solve her issue of needing protection, at the very least, she would no longer be a dead weight in battle!

Max announced to the system without an ounce of hesitation.

“I choose the third option!”

The moment Max’s voice subsided, the system’s voice rang out in his mind once more.

“Option chosen successfully. The Frozen Dragon Coffin will now be distributed. The remaining rewards will be distributed once the host has completed Mia’s treatment.”

At the same time, a transparent blue screen that only Max could see slowly unfolded before him.

There was a red dot on the screen.

The red dot was surrounded by several mountains, and layering above those mountains was a line of text in an ancient language.

The northernmost part of the continent!

Moldos!

Snow Mountain!

It was a region that held the key to solving his sister’s weakness!

Following this, a huge coffin appeared in front of Max!

The coffin was made entirely of ice. Although it looked cold and devoid of life, for some unknown reason, it emitted a little bit of vitality.

‘With this coffin, Mia’s body would not deteriorate for the time being. In fact, she would even recover slowly!’

Max placed the unconscious Mia into the coffin.

It was taboo to place a living person into a coffin. However, both Max and Mia were dragons. They did not share the same beliefs as the humans.

So long as it would increase their strength, they would happily welcome anything.

Max slowly covered the Frozen Dragon Coffin, dug a large hole within the lair, and buried Mia in it.

After confirming that it was safe, Max slowly caressed the soil on the ground. After taking one last look at the lair where he and Mia were born in, he muttered and flew away without looking back!

“Mia, wait for me.”

This time, he did not know how long he would be gone for!

What was certain, however, was that by the time he returned, Mia would be awake!

[1] Could be adaptability to the cold as well, further context is needed.
