294 The Cure (2/2)
It wasn't like my life depended on their survival, but my whole line of plans would have to be reconstructed from the very beginning, as I would probably need to assume another identity and find another method to get to a sect or just work on my own, which meant that…
'I spent too much time on this plan…'
All the effort and the boredom tolerance that I showed were bound to go down the drain if this problem wasn't solved, and I might not be able to preemptively stop the malicious acts of demons…
'It's likely that…'
Considering the total coincidence that I was grabbed to this place by the bait that was in the form of a legacy and hooked by the earth conducting crossbow, it meant that the possibility of such events happening or having already happened elsewhere throughout the domain wasn't impossible!
While it shouldn't be a problem for the sects to take care of the demons that might sprout form a base or two, if they managed to take the initiative to spread corruption around the Nature Domain using one of their despicable methods, chaos would descend and the domain might turn into a war zone!
As such, delaying my actions wasn't a plausible solution, or else the consequences would be horrible…
”The whole cycle takes about a full week or so… but even if you exit here in a hurry a mental expert is hard to find, you won't be able to get one in just three days… so yes, they are pretty much goners already…” the sprout human closed his eyes, probably expecting some sort of a raging reaction, but…
'It's not too late!'
”Cut the bullshit and tell me how can a mental expert cure them?”
Since it was still possible, I wanted to proceed with it as fast as possible, waiting more was unlikely to be for the better…
”Is the shock too big for you that you are denying reality?! Like I said you can't save them! If you are going to kill me then do it already…” the sprout human's expression turned into that of anger as he shouted at me, looking as if he is quite resolved to resist if he is going to die anyway…
”Ah… I can fix it, just speak already…”
Trying my best to calm down and not get irritated by his ignorant attitude, I spoke in the calmest tone that I could use in this state…
”Eh? Right! You resisted the 'Ancient Bewitchment Marks' after all! I thought that you did it with one of your 'Methods', but it seems like you are also a mental expert… Just how many abilities do you actually have…?!” the vitality returned to the sprout human's almost pale face, as he seemed to be excited for some reason, before his expression turned to that of envy, almost as if he couldn't control it…
”It's none of your business, how many times do I have to repeat this? Just speak already and tell me how to wake them up?”
”It's actually simple if you really have strong mental energy… You just have to bait out the hatchlings!” the sprout human hastily suppressed his envious expression as he replied..
