294 The Cure (1/2)
”If the parasitic bugs are actually removed, then what side effect did they leave exactly…?”
Since the mentality glutton bugs were already removed, then how could being unconscious till be just a side effect from a simple memory disorder...
”It's true that I managed to retrieve the 'Marks' before your entrance, but…” the sprout human stopped in the middle as it seemed like he didn't want to continue…
”Again? Aren't you sick of being oppressed for stopping in the middle for no reason…”
It was already starting to get annoying at this point, being interrupted during an interesting explanation was one of the most successful ways to trigger me, and he had already achieved quite a bit of success so far…
”It's just that… Ok… the side effect is actually caused by the mark's eggs…” the sprout human reluctantly replied…
”It lays eggs?”
”Yes, the 'Ancient Bewitching Mark' breed is self-sufficient when it comes to reproduction, once it stays in a host's mind for a certain period of time, it produces eggs automatically…” the sprout human said as he appeared quite disgusted by what he was saying...
'Looks like he had a reason this time at least…'
While it seemed like quite the childish thing for a human who once cooperated with the demons as a demon himself to be disgusted from such talks, it at least made sense this time, unlike the first time when he stopped as he was just being plain annoying then…
”These hatched eggs cause more damage to the host when compared to the parent…?”
It didn't make much sense for this to be the case, after all, even a fully grown parent bug only caused memory disorder and kept them properly conscious, so how could a child or two be that effective that they kept the trio unconscious for almost four days now…?
”It's precisely because it's not an 'egg' but 'eggs', the amount of eggs that laid by an Ancient Mark is simply huge, as soon as they hatch, the consume the host' mental energy at an insane rate to grow, and although they also end up dead from overeating, they usually take the host down with them…” the sprout human said awkwardly…
'Was this why he stopped in the middle instead…?'
It very much seemed like the trio were likely to die soon if they weren't treated if his words were completely true, which meant that he was likely stopping in the middle of the explanation earlier because he was somewhat afraid of my reaction as he already concluded that I valued their life quite a bit…
”It's because of this loss-loss result that this cycle is simply intervened by a Demonic Mental Energy practitioner such as Dark, especially if we still value the life of the host…”
”Just tell me, is it too late for them to survive…?”
