Chapter 80 - Chapter 12: Legend #6 (2/2)
Chris grabbed Felicia’s hand and said,
”Now this, most- magic power is strong... Noonim. So, I’ll leave it to Noonim.”
Felicia had no idea what the Moonlight Extract was, but based on the circumstances, she could roughly guess what it was.
Felicia nodded and Chris grimaced again from the pain. He smiled and continued speaking,
”As soon as the box is open, magic power, Moonlight Extract... wrap it. Wrap in magic power, divide in half... Shutra and Caitlin, feed.”
”U-understood.”
Chris released Felicia’s hand. Felicia wiped Chris’ blood from her hands and took a deep breath. Tears were still flowing as she accepted the box from Seira.
As a skilled magician, Felicia was also competent in dealing with herbs. It was obvious that the effect of the Moonlight Extract would be diminished if it was exposed to the air without being wrapped in magic power. It was likely that there was a special magic treatment for it.
Felicia covered the box with magic power and slowly opened the lid. Inside, there was a white herb that was a little longer than the index finger.
It seemed to be a root. If In-gong saw it, he would have thought it was wild ginseng.
Felicia picked up the Moonlight Extract carefully as she swallowed her saliva. She hesitated before splitting the Moonlight Extract into two.
Then there was a problem.
”H-how do I feed this to them?”
The broken pieces of Moonlight Extract were quite hard. An unconscious person wouldn’t be able to chew and swallow it.
Carack asked with an excited face,
”Should you feed them with your mouth?”
He raised his hands to his mouth and imitated a chewing motion of an animal taking care of a young cub.
Chris slowly shook his head at Carack’s question.
“No, mo-on. Moonlight Extract. Put in the mouth, will melt.”
Felicia sighed with relief and turned toward Caitlin. Her trauma was recovered thanks to Felicia’s recovery spells, but her insides were a mess. Felicia’s eyes were filled with tears as she stared at Caitlin.
Chris spoke again,
”Daph-ne. Druid, I heard. Noonim, help. Absorption...”
”Understood!”
For druids who lived in nature, knowing herbal medicine was a basic. Daphne’s task with to use the power of the spirits to help the herb be absorbed.
”Star-t.”
Felicia nodded and pushed the piece of Moonlight Extract into Caitlin’s mouth. As Chris said, the Moonlight Extract started to melt immediately. In an instant, it became a white liquid and was sucked into Caitlin’s throat.
Daphne closed her eyes and started to chant the names of the spirits. Then, miraculously, a white light started to emerge from Caitlin’s whole body.
“M-moonlight is coming from her body!”
Carack shouted with surprise. At that moment, Green Wind appeared next to Carack. She spoke sharply with a hard face that was different than normal,
”The power holding the moonlight is melting. Hurry and give Master the Moonlight Extract. I will help Master absorb it.”
The lycanthropes were shocked by Green Wind’s sudden appearance, but Felicia, who knew about Green Wind’s existence, was different. She hurriedly pushed the piece of Moonlight Extract into In-gong’s mouth.
The beginning was exactly like it had happened with Caitlin, but it changed once Green Wind touched it.
White light came out from In-gong’s entire body. It wasn’t a gentle glow like Caitlin’s. The light was enough to fill their field of view as In-gong’s body slightly floated up.
Carack glanced at Green Wind urgently, but she didn’t have an answer. Her startled expression proved that this situation was unexpected.
“Ah, really! Why can’t one thing be easy?”
Carack exclaimed. Felicia asked Chris hurriedly,
“What is happening? Is something wrong?”
Felicia was on the verge- no, she was already crying. Instead of answering straight away, Chris stared at In-gong. If the light from Caitlin’s body was like the stars, In-gong’s could be compared to the full moon.
In-gong’s body floated a little higher. Caitlin’s body also rose like she was affected by In-gong. Green Wind and Daphne both reached out to the two people as they closed their eyes tightly and desperately called upon the power of the spirits.
The Moonlight Extract was a flower that bloomed once in 100 years. In fact, this was the first time Chris had seen the process of someone eating the Moonlight Extract.
Caitlin’s reaction was similar to what had been written in the general records, but it wasn’t the same for In-gong. Moreover, Caitlin’s reaction was changed now.
Like Felicia said, was there something wrong?
”Maybe, but on the contrary...”
”On the contrary?”
Chris swallowed his saliva. He looked at the white light that couldn’t be distinguished anymore and said,
”The legend of the Moonlight Extract, maybe this is it.”
An unusual record.
The true legend of the Moonlight Extract that only remained in the records of the lycanthrope royal family.
Chris laughed bitterly. Carack’s words were true.
”Everywhere he goes, uncommon things happen.”
Felicia looked back at In-gong. The warm light, that didn’t hurt the eyes, pushed against the darkness.
