Hi! (Patreon)

As I told you before, in the last chapter, despite rewriting and reediting it several times, I still didn’t like it at all. So I made some changes and these are two scenes I added. I added them here so you don’t have to read it the chapter.

Also, I clarify that the elves’ arc will be divided in three parts (the pre-arc: which is what we have seen so far: the deal and the healing. Then comes the part where Kalysto will fight again and start leveling up. And the third one: which I’m not going to make spoilers about). So in a few hours I’ll update the subtitles of the chapters to correspond with the above mentioned.

Today’s chapter will take a couple of hours more to be ready. I’ve been sick since yesterday, and I’m still not feeling well, so I’m working a little slower than usual, but I’ll do my best to have it ready in a few hours. Without further ado, I’ll leave you with the changes in the previous chapter.

But despite Caranthir’s promises, Ettokalr could not help but be nervous.

Moreover, the unexpected timing of the attacks a couple of hours before the arrival of the saintess indicated that the attack had been planned. And not only that, the massive arrival of nearly two hundred elves from other kingdoms to be healed showed a leak in the information.

And Ettokalr doubted that his sister, the only elf outside of his trusted advisors and elves to whom he had warned of the coming of the saintess, was the source.

Which meant there was a spy among his own.

Apart from Jaesia and his siblings, he decided to distrust the rest, which was why he gave Jaesia the mission of escorting the saintess, fearing that she was the real target. Because if so, what this invisible enemy was looking for was that in case they managed to survive the monsters, the fairies would destroy them after losing the saintess.

So, while she was thinking about how to unmask his enemies, Ettokalr looked for a way to distract himself.

The next scene happens while Kalysto is waiting in the bathroom for Jaesia:

And to pass the time, she checked two of the skills she had acquired that she hadn’t had time to check before, and that she was curious about seeing how the scabs caused by the plague reacted to them. After opening her skill window, she clicked on the name Dispel and Dispel Ezhil.

[Dispel: skill that is normally acquired at level 17, but has currently been unlocked by the admin. It is used to disperse miasma on an object the user has contact with and stop its advance, helping to cure magic-type illnesses. When dispersing the mana of a magic circuit, it will break. Can break or deactivate the mana of a magic barrier or magic symbol, but must be touched to break it.]

[Dispel Ezhil: Unlike the dispel ability, the user no longer needs to touch the target to dispel the mana or deactivate the magic circuit in which it is contained, hence its usefulness for use in conjunction with the Ezhil Purification ability to eliminate miasma. The radius of action will increase as the skill levels up. Current radius: 10 meters. Expends 15 MP per use.]

Kalysto frowned as she read that and took the last bite of the thel she was eating as she analyzed the situation. He had already suspected that there was something odd about the plague. I understand that it decreases HP since it’s petrifying their organs, but why is it also consuming the MP of a sick one? It doesn’t make sense, even if it’s a magical disease... unless....

But her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Jaesia’s trembling voice address her.
