Chapter 198: Healing Is One Thing, but Why Take Off My Clothes?
“Master Lolth, I’m here.”
“Ah… Lolthlinda, is there something you need?”
“Master Lolth, everyone has arrived, and Lady Kululu has been informed as well.”
Tina’s work efficiency was as fast and reliable as ever. Soon, the temporary operating room in the lab gathered the three people Lolth had summoned.
Before the “Magical Energy Channeling Surgery” began, Lolth looked at the two people besides Tina and started to question how long she had been in the evil god’s space.
Kanor looked fine, merely dressed in a chef’s apprentice outfit, styled to resemble a serious cook. The alchemy tool in her hand was shaped like a spatula, likely just retrieved from the kitchen by Tina.
Although the style was indeed somewhat unusual for this world, it wasn’t too strange inside the torture tower; after all, Lolth had seen her dressed like this many times before.
The issue lay with Isabella.
This legendary Grand Knight seemed to have transformed completely in just a few days.
Her hair was simply tied back, with bangs clipped at the crown of her head. She wore the same black t-shirt and baggy gray pants as Lolth, holding a bowl of ice cream in one hand and a wooden spoon for transferring ice cream to her mouth.
The bold spirit in her expression, the proud and determined look in her eyes had vanished. She appeared gentle and calm, standing so casually that Lolth almost didn’t recognize her.
If it weren’t for the fact that this Grand Knight still maintained her daily exercise routine, her fine figure beneath those loose clothes might have become quite rounded by now.
Noticing Lolth staring at her, Isabella curiously touched her cheek and asked, “What’s wrong, Lolthlinda? Is there ice cream on my face?”
“It’s nothing, I just think you look good like this,” Lolth said, shaking her head. “Let’s begin.”
She said this and retrieved the magic-filtering gloves from a nearby drawer, putting them on her hands and tossing a pair to everyone.
“This is starting to feel more like a human experiment…”
Muttering this, Lolth began to explain Dorothy’s condition to Kanor and Isabella.
“I called you both here to save this little girl’s life… She comes from Golden Peacock and appears to be some sort of princess. Anyway, because the scroll has been tampered with, she is in a near-death state, which has triggered certain abilities within her body.”
“Because she has inherited the bloodline of a hero, she can absorb various kinds of power into her body. Recently, she has been absorbing a mixture of powers and needed time to properly assimilate them. However, under the stress of near death, her instincts released all these powers simultaneously and activated her ability to absorb magic indiscriminately…”
“If she doesn’t receive help in time, she will either absorb so much magic that her body cannot handle it and she will perish, or her own magic will run wild, causing severe damage to her soul and body, resulting in her death.”
“I plan to conduct a magic channeling procedure to help her sort through and transform the chaotic powers inside her with the purest magic, and then extract the portions she cannot withstand.”
As Lolth explained this, everyone nodded.
“If you all understand, let’s commence… Kanor, begin by transforming your ‘Versatile Kitchenware’ according to this structure.”
Kanor took the blueprint and observed a device resembling a small handheld vacuum cleaner, with numerous notes beside it detailing the internal structure and functions of the tool.
Wise as Kanor was, she quickly grasped Lolth’s intention.
This device is designed to absorb excess magical energy and temporarily isolate it from the external environment for storage. Since Dorothy’s absorption of magical energy is indiscriminate and very potent, some of the magic will inevitably be forced out of her body, and it must be absorbed rapidly—to prevent the recently expelled magic from being drawn back in, it is essential to have a tool that can store this excess magic promptly.
After comprehending all of this, Kanor memorized the structure of the blueprint and began to swiftly simulate, deduce, and implement.
A silver liquid, lustrous like metal, manifested in her hands, continuously changing shape, and soon assumed a rough form.
Meanwhile, Lolth was also occupied, continuing to issue directives to Tina.
“You must prepare to use the life mystical technique. If her soul and life force display serious signs of deterioration, do not concern yourself with the current magic environment within her; prioritize preserving her life.”
“Understood, Master Lolth.”
Tina nodded and replied.
“What about me?”
Isabella raised her hand and inquired.
“If this little girl becomes unstable later, you are responsible for subduing her… Also, if Fighter’s magic is needed, simply come over to assist.”
Lolth said this, and Isabella nodded.
“Alright, then I’ll remain on standby.”
She said with a trace of disappointment.
After explaining everything, the magic-guiding procedure officially commenced.
Lolth first established several strengthening magic circles to prevent any sudden fluctuations in the Plane Magic Tide from disrupting the entire procedure.
Then, she took a deep breath and gradually infused her magic into Dorothy’s body.
To be honest, this “operation” is not at all a simple task for her.
Although Lolth possesses advanced magical skills, this is the first time she has encountered a situation that might be unprecedented across the entire continent.
Even though the intensity of these magical powers is not particularly great, the total volume of magic in Dorothy’s body might only be comparable to that of a standard legend-level expert.
Half of the magical power originates from runes, a quarter stems from her innate magic, and the remaining quarter comprises various magical powers from space magic, the Power of the Evil God, Holy Light, and an assortment of other powers absorbed from the Plane Magic Tide.
Moreover, some of the pure magic she injected to suppress the chaotic conflict within Dorothy was also absorbed, further complicating this complex magical environment.
However, due to the uncontrollable bloodline power, the previously stable magic environment within her became turbulent, causing conflicts between different types of magic; all the magical powers became entangled, creating a convoluted situation that was quite problematic.
Furthermore, this young girl, Dorothy, has a fragile soul and body, which is atypical for a normal Superlative Level Superoperator.
Therefore, I must proceed with extreme caution.
After meticulously examining the chaotic magical condition inside her, Lolth realized that the situation was worse than she had anticipated and began to remove Dorothy’s clothing.
