Shortly after Zodreg complied, a round spatial rift opened in the room's ceilings. The boundless sky was revealed on the other side of it, including Zodreg's huge draconic figure.
Roar!
As Zodreg's dragon roar resounded in the bedchamber, space and time were seemingly locked down. Vaan's fire barrier disappeared, but the black fog of various diseases oozing out of Marchioness Belline's body did not spread; they were frozen in stasis.
Next, a blue-lit magic circle appeared above Marchioness Belline's body, expanding to cover her whole body. After it descended and phased through her body like a scanner, it disappeared without a trace.
However, moments later, several more magic circles of blue, green, golden, and white light appeared in tiers like stacking a tower of colorful mana rings.
They took turns phasing through Marchioness Belline's body in order. And each time they did, the black fog of death-carrying diseases dissipated, the black-stained bandages whitened, and colors returned to Marchioness Belline's skin.
Linetta and Lillias watched their mother's body bathed in the light of magic circles, one after the other, but they strangely didn't feel the slightest concern regarding the treatment process.
The light was warm, gentle, and soothing.
Plus, the result was smooth and clear. There wasn't any conflict between the black fog of death-carrying diseases and the soothing light of the magic circles. It wasn't a forceful elimination but more like a religious baptism of evil spirits, converting them into benevolent spirits.
As such, some of the black fog lost its aggressive-spreading and life-destroying traits, transforming into white vital energy that helped restore Marchioness Belline's weakened body.
From a superficial perspective, Marchioness Belline's illness was being treated with high-level restorative spells.
From the perspective of someone with deeper insight, it would seem like Marchioness Belline's body's time was being reversed back to a period when the illness didn't exist.
However, Vaan had the deepest insight with his Omni-Sense and understood the truth was much more complex than that.
It just seemed like Zodreg was reversing Marchioness Belline's time with temporal magic. In truth, he was commanding her runaway, corrupted cells to return to her body and resume their original jobs correctly.
In essence, it was like forcefully overwriting every cancer cell in the body and reprogramming or resetting their functions.
Vaan fell into deep thought as he observed the changes with Omni-Sense.
Cancer cells were considered part of the body. But they weren't obedient; they behaved rebelliously and grew uncontrollably, which ultimately made them destructive and harmful.
However, if their changes could be freely controlled, perhaps strengthening or evolving the body could be possible instead. It would be better than removing the cancerous cells before they cause further damage to the body.
Alas, the difficulty of such a feat was staggering, and most people wouldn't get such an option.
That said, Zodreg was not Vaan.
was impossible for Zodreg to control all of Marchioness Belline's corrupted cells, which had transformed into deathly diseases, and make them behave properly again with just his sheer will.
It was only achievable with magic – magic that seemed simple for Zodreg but far more complex and powerful than the normal magic used by the people of Pangea.
Dragon magic – a derivative of ancient magic based on the dragon race's insights into the primordial language.
Whether it was the dragon race's language, magic, or even runes, they were all derived and drew their power from the primordial language.
That being the case, if Vaan asked where the power of the primordial language came from, no one in the Red Dragon Clan would be able to give him an exact answer.
Although it wasn't hard to guess that an incredibly powerful law powered this primordial language, no one knew why such a language had such power and why it was the only language to possess such power.
Simply by uttering its true words, anyone could invoke its power, regardless of one's strength and ability.
Of course, whether one could bear the backlash was another story completely.
Still, Vaan was definitely interested in learning the primordial language if he was given the chance. There could be some great secret or truth of Chaos hidden within it.
Roar!
Zodreg's dragon roar resounded again.
As a result, this time, the magic circles of blue, green, golden, and white light superimposed, turning into a single, larger, more colorful magic circle.
Marchioness Belline's corrupted cells had all been restored to their original form, but the true source of the mutated corpse poison that plagued her was still hidden in the deepest parts of her body.
Normally, removing all the mutated corpse poison from Marchioness Belline's body should have been difficult.
However, as the superimposed and colorful magic circle rose from the ground and passed through Marchioness Belline's body, it caught every last trace of the mutated corpse poison.
Like reeling in an entire school of fish with an inescapable net, not a single bit of the mutated corpse poison could slip through it.
As such, the greenish-black goo was ripped right out of Marchioness Belline's front body, following the colorful, superimposed magic circle.
Scree—!!!
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Everyone was immediately caught off guard by the greenish-black goo's piercing scream as it strongly resisted the magic circle's push.
Whether it was Arabelle, Linetta, or Lillias, they were all horrified by the living greenish-black goo that had myriads of tiny human-shape faces screaming on its surface. It was as if countless souls were trapped in the gooey substance and wanted to escape.
Linetta and Lillias couldn't help but shiver in horror as they witnessed such a dreadful existence, desperately trying to get back into their mother's body.
Unfortunately, Zodreg didn't give it such a chance.
Roar!
Zodreg locked down space and time around the living goo with his dragon roar, causing it to freeze in place. Then, the superimposed magic circle altered its shape, wrapping around the living goo to trap it in its new cubic form.
The living goo desperately bashed itself against every corner of the magic cube to escape but to no avail.
The magic cube had no opening.
Gulp!
"Is… Is it over?" Lillias asked with a shaken tone, completely spooked by the mutated corpse poison's true form.
Vaan calmly nodded.
But shortly after, his gaze suddenly flickered with a sharp glint.
Zodreg could completely erase the mutated corpse poison from existence if he wanted to. But he chose to keep it in captivity instead.
There must be a reason for his choice.
