Chapter 412 - 412: Offering a solution (2/2)

”How is that even possible?” [Zerolith]

”Unless... But how!? Even if she knew of Dwarf racial magic, she couldn't possibly!?” [Karon]

”That's a bit puzzling for me as well” [Ash]

Karon did told me regarding his dad and his racial magic yesterday, so it's either a pure coincidence or there is some sort of connection

Which bring me to my not as solid as the first point

”Her body, it somehow behave like that of an imperfect homunculus. Naturally, she, just like any other imperfect homunculus should die without proper maintenance, but she doesn't. Either it's due to the powerful life force from the Holy Beast of Fire or because she's afflicted with Puppet magic of the dwarf, just like how Karon's dad was like” [Ash]

That's the simplest way for me to tell them, and understandably

”So, can you cure her?” [Singa]

”Yes, and no. Rather, sorry once again, for the of better word, I will said I can only patch her up” [Ash]

”Why?” [Old lion duke]

”Her soul misalignment is not only due to ”misplacements”, but also part of it still inside the Holy Beast of Fire. Plus, her body shouldn't be possible to support life without her relying on some sort of mana supplement” [Ash]

””Just like us back then...”” [Lara, Nara]

”Hence, why I used the word imperfect homunculus” [Ash]

Well, that's the gist of it

”So, we should start searching for Simba the...” [Savel]

”That won't be necessary” [Ash]

”Why is that?” [Aries]

”I can just heal her up, and let her lead the way” [Ash]

”Is that even possible?” [King Druser]

”It is. Soul will yearn for part of their soul should it gone astray. We can definitely take advantage of that” [Ash]

”I see! That's good news indeed!” [Mara]

”Can you start right away? I feel bad just leaving her like this when we could let her join the conversation” [Rumia]

”Saintess Rumia right, I also feel bad” [Rean]

”I will. Diana, do you manage get it?” [Ash]

”The A rank fire magic core? I even made several copies of it with The Goddess Treasure Chest” [Diana]

”Really! That's great” [Ash]

At least there's more to spare, which I can use as a backup should something gone wrong

”Did you buy the magic core?” [King Leogris]

”That I did, from the merchant guild itself” [Diana]

”Please, let us pay the cost back” [Old lion duke]

”Don't worry, consider it my way of helping my little sibling” [Diana]

”Sis Diana...” [Singa]

That's rather heartwarming... I should start right away and give them more reason to smile!
