Chapter 293: Chapter 183: Silf’s First Treatment (Thanks to the reward from Dameng Ji Qianqiu cc)

An astute decision.

This isn’t sarcasm.

It is a fact that in the Sky Dome Continent, aside from Qin Chu, no one else could purify the corruption of the Evil God. If Silph didn’t want to turn into a creature like Karsas, accepting Qin Chu’s advice was the only choice.

And the sooner, the better.

Though it seemed like Silph’s corrosion was still superficial, no one could guarantee it wouldn’t suddenly worsen. Silph wasn’t in a position to take such a risk, and it was commendable that she could make a decision in such a short time.

However, could you stop acting like it’s a heroic sacrifice?

It makes me feel like a villain.

Qin Chu muttered internally, a smile spreading across his face, "Miss Silph, your trust in me is truly wonderful."

"So, which would you like to purify first? Your Spirit or your body?"

The Spirit is too dangerous.

"Let’s start with the body," Silph answered, biting her lip lightly.

Just as Qin Chu had anticipated.

Qin Chu removed his coat and hung it up along with his hat before he turned to face Silph. This simple gesture seemed to strike fear into her, her shoulders curling inwards.

From those beautiful eyes, Qin Chu read her fear.

Silph raised her hand slightly, "Mr. Brave, do I... do I need to undress like you?"

Qin Chu then realized that Silph probably knew what was going to happen next, which is why she had changed her clothes. She was no longer in the tight leather armor that facilitated movement but had changed into a light green full-length dress.

As an Elf, decked in such a light green dress, she looked akin to a dancing fairy in the forest... No matter how much Qin Chu despised Silph’s Spirit, he had to admit this shell was truly splendid.

"I’m not quite ready to prepare for internal purification just yet..."

"Let’s start from the outside and see if it works. That way, you only need to take off your coat," Qin Chu said, his expression somewhat peculiar.

Silph’s mouth slightly agape, she wanted to slap herself, why did she think so much? She normally didn’t like wearing dresses, but just now, alone in her bedroom, she fancied herself in the archer’s leather armor feeling oddly ashamed, so she changed into a dress she’d only wear to parties.

As it turned out, it was unnecessary.

Why didn’t you say so earlier?

Silph felt somewhat resentful and wanted to go back and change her clothes.

"Or, Miss Silph, would you like to go back and change your clothes?" Qin Chu asked.

Now that Qin Chu had said that, Silph couldn’t leave.

It was a decision she had barely garnered the courage to make. If she went back now, she might not muster the courage again. Besides, Silph also felt that external treatment was mostly useless and it would come to this eventually.

"It’s okay, let’s proceed like this," Silph said, taking a deep breath.

Then, she hooked the straps of her green dress with both hands, and the thin gauze dress slid down her pale, delicate body to fall around her feet, leaving only her undergarments covering her well-rounded physique.

She instinctively protected her chest with her hands.

She thought her body would be severely violated by Qin Chu’s gaze, but to her surprise, Qin Chu appeared extremely solemn.

"Miss Silph, please respect me," he said.

"I am merely a doctor treating a patient right now, and my mind does not entertain any nonsensical thoughts. You can be completely at ease."

Seeing Qin Chu’s earnest demeanor, Silph couldn’t help but sneer internally: Really? I don’t believe it!

"What exactly is the treatment?" Silph asked, suppressing her anxiety.

"It’s simple," Qin Chu said with a slight smile, moving closer to Silph, whose tall figure shrank even more, almost curling into a ball.

"Don’t be afraid, relax. And your hands are in the way, how am I supposed to treat you?" Qin Chu said, feeling slightly amused.

Silph stuck out her tongue lightly, berating herself internally for being so useless. Even though she had already made up her mind and was prepared, at this moment, she still found herself nervously fumbling, completely out of character. She took a breath, thrust her chest forward, and lowered her hands: "Let’s proceed."

Qin Chu nodded silently and stepped closer to Silph.

His fingertips traced a line just below her collarbone.

Visible to the naked eye, a layer of goosebumps arose on Silph’s body, and her body trembled imperceptibly for a moment, quickly suppressed by her strong will.

At the spot where Qin Chu’s fingertips traced, a bunch of silver-white light gradually emerged, the power of the Holy Light.

It was purer and simultaneously more terrifying than the Holy Court’s Holy Light.

The moment the Holy Light appeared, it seemed to sense the evil within Silph. Silver-white flames appeared on that trace instantly, flickering.

The flames were small, but to Silph, it felt as if she were thrown directly into the mouth of a volcano. Unspeakable heat swept through her body instantly. It was as if she had carelessly touched a live wire. With a crackling sound, her body was flung against the wall and she fell to the ground.

The pain made her plump body violently convulse.

Her complexion was so pale it was exaggerated, her body covered in fine beads of sweat, her eyes even whitening somewhat, with specks of white foam appearing at the corners of her mouth.

Good and evil do not stand side by side.

Although the mark of the Evil God was branded upon the soul, it manifested in the body. The Holy Light from Qin Chu radiated from a scar below his collarbone, which contained a wisp of Qin Chu’s consciousness that directly permeated and connected with Silf’s soul.

The moment these two distinctly different powers came into contact, they immediately burst forth with terrifying energy.

Perhaps it was fortunate that neither the mark of the Evil God inside Silf nor the Holy Light released by Qin Chu was particularly strong; otherwise, Silf’s body might have been torn apart into two halves.

Qin Chu swiftly walked over and gentlemanly lifted Silf’s body, placing her down on the bed.

Silf gasped violently, and a long time passed before she could barely endure the intense pain in her body, but her fingers were still trembling and could not even be lifted.

In that instant, Silf had a very terrifying feeling, as if two incredibly powerful beings were using her body as a battlefield in a fierce fight, and she thought she was truly going to die.

"Sorry....."

Regret was written all over Qin Chu’s face, "I didn’t expect the evil within you to resist so fiercely."

"It seems that it’s basically impossible to cleanse it from outside....."

Silf struggled to stabilize her body’s reactions, the scene she just experienced made her realize just how dreadful the will of the Evil God residing within her was, if it wasn’t thoroughly purified, sooner or later she would turn into something like Karsas, she would rather die than become such an ugly monster.

"Mr. Brave, I beg of you....."

"I understand, now, it’s up to your choice, we have three options to choose from, you may choose one of them, or choose all three....." Qin Chu’s tone was somewhat brisk.

"Of course, for me, it’s the same whichever direction Miss Silf chooses!"

Three options? Silf was a bit puzzled.

.....

Meanwhile, Miss Asina was seated in the VIP room of the Oville Empire Imperial City Library.

The table in front of her was filled with various books.

What is a Soul? Research on the Soul The Mysteries of the Soul.....

Almost all of them were related to souls.

Qin Chu was slightly wrong in his speculation, Miss Asina had not doubted Qin Chu’s performance, nor had she doubted the content told to her by Lord Jie Luo.

But Miss Asina felt that even with the help of her and Catherine, it would take decades to recover, and this period was too lengthy; Asina couldn’t endure it for so long.

She believed there must be other methods that could help Lord Jie Luo recover faster.

These days, Miss Asina had been conducting research related to the soul.....

However, people of the Sky Dome Continent preferred to pursue directly effective and powerful strength rather than being interested in the soul, which is mysterious and esoteric in nature.

After all, no matter how thorough the research on the soul, it won’t instantly bring you great power.

Even Miss Asina had not delved much into this area before; although she had found quite a few books, most of these contents were merely legends. Despite researching for many days, Asina felt her eyes pain, she was very tired, having lost count of how much hair had fallen these days, but the results were almost nil.

"Oh? Miss Asina, are you also studying the soul?" Just when Asina felt almost ready to give up, a voice suddenly came from the doorway.

The weary Asina somewhat blankly lifted her head, and when she saw the old man at the doorway, a slow smile emerged on her face: "It turns out to be Mr. Anthony, I apologize for my undignified appearance."

Anthony Holmes!

President of the Mage Association, and he also held another role, Norma’s mentor.

The Mage Association was not an official body, but a private organization formed by some who were passionate about studying magic, all the members of the organization were extremely obsessed with magic.

Perhaps, their strength was not very strong, but they always came up with some ideas that could be called bizarre.

Their favorite thing to do was to research magic in all aspects..... for example, inventing new magic, remodeling existing magic, etc.....

Once, a talented magician invented a new magic that could manipulate water flow to spin rapidly; the effect was that it could wash clothes thrown into it faster and cleaner.

Another magician had been working on altering the Small Fireball; he hoped that the Small Fireball, once released and hitting the target, could cause an explosion and inflict secondary damage..... he succeeded but lost three fingers in the process.

This Mr. Anthony in front of her had even spent six years reducing the spell of a Super Order Magic by one word..... the lengthy spell, one word less, frankly speaking, was quite subtle.

Looking at the books in front of her, Asina smiled and said, "You know very well, magicians always want to delve into things they don’t usually touch."

"Recently, I’ve been quite interested in matters of the soul."

Anthony’s smile brightened more brilliantly, that expression, as if he had found a kindred spirit, "That’s marvelous....."

"Miss Asina, I have also studied the soul extensively, I have been researching souls for over a decade, perhaps we can share our insights."

If it were another man who said this, Asina might think the man had ulterior motives, but not Anthony; Asina knew this was someone who was obsessed with magic to a remarkable extent.

Magic was his lover, and the Magic Wand was his mistress.....

"Is that so, then that’s wonderful." Asina smiled warmly, "Please have a seat, by the way, Mr. Anthony..... I read in a book."

"Through the union of man and woman, the soul can be nourished, and a wounded soul can recover faster, is that true?"
