Chapter 156 - Allen Cell and Political Marriage [7] (1/2)

156. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [7]

After Guin-san’s treatment, the speed of our research accelerated.

I quickly treated the patients who were carried in one after another with the minimum amount of darkness necessary.

During that time, Chemy-san used a variety of machines to analyze the darkness from all sorts of perspectives.

At the end of the day, I lifted the curses on more than a thousand people with an ultra high speed treatment rate of『one person per minute』.

The time it took was 18 hours, physically no problem at all, but I felt a little exhausted spiritual power wise.

However, with this consumption rate, it can last for about a week.

What we learned on the first day of research were two things:

My darkness never comes into contact with the curses at all.

The dark red skin infected with the curse automatically self-destructs when the distance from my darkness is within three centimeters.

The hypothesis that Chemy-san came up with was -『some sort of component』that makes up darkness has an absolute effect on the curse.

Then, on the second day–

A large number of patients flocked in from Polyesta Federation and Ronzo Republic.

The reason for this was that Tenshi-sama had issued a notice saying that,「Ringuard Empire has established a cure for the curse using its own technology.」

I continuously treated patients who flooded in, as Chemy-san observed the process in detail.

But… Unfortunately, there were no new findings on this day.

Even after analyzing the components of darkness all day long, we couldn’t understand anything.

Apparently, my darkness cannot be explained with today’s science and technology.

The research on the curse had hit a wall.

Then,『the study of the anti-curse treatment』finally approached the third day.

Today was the due date for Chemy-san’s debt repayment.

It is said that her house will be seized if even 0.1 second passed after midnight.

Well, that’s entirely on her, so it doesn’t matter, but….

(If we don’t find a cure soon, a lot of people will die.)

With unbearable impatience in my heart, I just continued to dispel the curse in front of me.

When the hand of the clock pointed at 8pm,

「Uuu-, No, no, no! This is not it at That’s not it! Why can’t I find it?」Chemy-san screamed, as she scratched her head.

It seems that following yesterday, there will be no results today as well.

(…It’s still going to take some time it seems.)

Thinking of that, I waited for the next patient to enter.

A few seconds later, the door of the room opened, and the duo of Holy Knights brought in a new patient.

「This is Aulott Drasten-san, 71 years old. He was affected by the『curse of paralysis』, in which a part of his body became numb and could no longer move.」

「It developed around the fall of 71 years old. The cause is being bitten by a monster on the right palm while travelling from Orest to Drestia. At present, he can only move no more than one finger on his right hand.」

When I received the report about Aulott-san’s condition, I immediately started the treatment.
