Episode 36.5-6 (2/2)

As Norma ran toward her grandfather, Prado Goncourt, she could somehow notice the purplening of his lips within the dim room for some reason.

Once Jinga held up light for her, she could look and check at Prado's body and condition clearly.

A rapid drop in temperature.

Stiffening skin.

White eyes, trembling lips.

Not only that, his whole body is convulsing worse as time goes on.

(It's a venom!)

(Probably Flat White Snake's.)

Flat White Snake's venom is not fast acting, but its efficacy is guaranteed overtime. He's already started convulsing. Prado will die if he doesn't get treated right away.

However, Norma doesn't have a Green Potion with her.

This house surely has some, but there's no time to look for one now.

Norma took a wand she hid in her bosom. A small <Box> is attached to its tip. One of Lecan's gifts from Ninae. She kneaded her mana and recited a spell while pulling out the needle on Prado's throat.

”<Recovery>.”

Just one <Recovery> has completely consumed Norma's mana pool.

<Recovery> closed the wound on Prado's throat. And give the red color back to his lap, stopping his convulsion.

As she breathed a sigh of relief, Prado's lips turned back to purple color, and he started convulsing again.

(Eh?)

(Why.)

(Why won't <Recovery> work?)

<Recovery> should work on Flat White Snake's venom.

(Is it not Flat White Snake's venom?)

Something was presented to her. It's a Blue Potion. Jinga has brought it from Norma's room. Norma took it like she snatched it from Jinga's hand, and gulped it down without chewing. Her mana was replenished right away.

Making the antivenom would not make it in time. There's not even time to fetch the raw materials from her clinic.

She was going to get Jinga ask someone bring a green potion here, but stopped short.

They don't have the leisure to.

The venom is killing Prado even now.

The sole chance would be.

A chance to save her grandfather's life.

”O God of Maara!”

Norma held out her wand while calling out to the god of Wisdom. Then she poured all her mana into her wand, and recited a spell filled with a desperate plea.

”

!”

Nothing happens.

A moment after she thought that.

Softly, a blue light dwelt at the tip of her wand.

That blue orb of light fell down straight to the closed wound, and permeated in Prado's entire body.

She didn't actually believe it would get cast. However, being the daughter of her mother, the likelihood of her casting

one day always lurked in her mind. And there was no other way but to cast

if she wanted to save her grandfather now. Thus she made an attempt despite believing it wouldn't work.

Norma passed out.
