Woah, woah, hold up for a second. Who’s this holy elf right here?
“Maria, how do I look? Am I strong enough to be worthy of being at your side?” She asked, as she held my hands tightly and looked into my eyes.
She was so radiant that my dark composition began to tremble a bit. I think she is damaging by just touching my hands now. It was small, and I could heal myself easily, but it was a bit… well, not even painful, but it tired me and made me a bit fuzzy.
“Uggh… I feel like I am being exorcized by so much holy light….”
I dropped onto the ground, exhausted. Emeraldine suddenly changed her facial expression into that of concern and surprise.
“U-Uwah! M-Maria, are you alright?!” She asked, getting closer to me.
“I am fine. I just feel a bit dizzy. Your holy light aura is strong,” I sighed.
“L-Let me heal you…!” She said, pointing her hands at me as she conjured healing light magic.
“GYAAAH! WAIT!”
FLASH!
The holy light began to touch my body, and I started to dissipate. My HP was dropping like crazy too! I was fragile to holy light! Holy shit!
“Ahh… So this is my end… It was a fun journey, everyone….”
I smiled at everyone. I guess this was the end of my journey.
It was filled with hardships, but I guess I had my fun.
I suppose this is it…
Perhaps the purification had cleansed my mind from the negative thoughts.
I feel so in peace with myself.
“I think I am going to heaven… Partner, make sure to take care of Kuro and Lucifer for me….”
“WAIT!” Cried Partner.
“W-What the heck is going on?!” Asked Lucifer.
“MRAO!” Cried Kuro.
“Uwawawawahh…! Maria, I am sorry!” Emeraldine apologized profusely as she began to cry.
“Don’t be sorry… This is for the better… I think… I can finally rest… Take good care of everything, alright? I am counting on you.”
“NO! Please don’t die!”
“Shut up that stupid elf already! Just keep pouring death mana into her… Maria, can’t you heal yourself?!” Roared Lucifer as he, Partner, and Kuro began to shower me with their phantasmal auras.
I began to slowly feel better.
“EH? What was happening just now?” I asked.
I feel confused…
“You almost died! Damn Elf! I hate you!” Roared Partner, hitting Emeraldine in the head.
“Ouch! I am sorry… I deserve this punishment…! *Sniff*….” Cried Emeraldine.
“You dork, you almost died in the most anti-climactic way possible,” Said Lucifer.
“Mrao!” Said Kuro, adding a lot to the conversation.
“Is that so? Haha… I guess the holy light made me dizzy indeed. It was like one of those nice drugs that you know it can kill you, but you still take them because it makes you feel so nice,” I muttered.
“How can you compare holy light that literally exorcises you with weed?!” Asked Lucifer.
“HEY! You know weed?” I asked.
“Well, of course, we dragons used to enjoy a series of special herbs to pass the time of our millenary lives and- T-That’s not the point!”
“Damn, now I want to meet with some dragons and smoke some weed,”
“This conversation is spiraling into a topic I don’t feel comfortable speaking about,”
Emeraldine suddenly kneeled before me and began to supplicate me to forgive her.
“Sorry! I am so sorry, Maria! I-I didn’t realize healing magic damages Undead… And I didn’t realize that my Holy Light Aura was automatically activated… I-I already deactivated it….” She continued to cry.
“Oh! That’s good then. It was mostly my fault for not realizing sooner,” I said.
“N-No, I cannot easily be forgiven… Please punish me,” Cried Emeraldine as she looked at me with a perverted look.
O-Oi, what is she thinking?
“I can punish her for you, Master…”
Partner came walking in, while carrying her spear.
“W-Wait a second, that’s not good, she’s not an Undead, you can’t be too rough on her!”
“Don’t worry… you can always make her a zombie elf,” Said Partner, readying her spear.
I managed to take the spear away from her and ended this discussion as quickly as possible before it were to turn annoying. I forgave Emeraldine and decided to just tell her to be more mindful of her abilities. As they ended up being the opposite of me, she could damage me badly if she got a close shot on me. I am particularly weaker to this element because I am a ghost of darkness and death; unlike zombies, I don’t have a physical body to shield me, so I receive even more damage. The [Holy Light Aura] was a spell she gained after her recent evolution… I checked her status while she was apologizing, and it looked like this:

Damn, she looks mighty fine with those stats and skills. She has such a different build from all of us. Demi-humans are truly varied and unique in this aspect. I can’t help but admit it!
She has so much light-related stuff… And her Mana and Magic are abnormally high. She’s talented at archery too, and she has a high level of cooking as well. She’s pretty good for our team, and she can adapt to any terrain as well.
“I guess we welcome you as a new party member!”
“R-Really? Oh, Maria, I am so happy!”
Emeraldine hugged me tightly as I pet her head.
“You worked pretty hard, dear.”
