Chapter 650 The Elven Camp [Pt 2]
"W-who... who are—?"
Tatiana didn't even know where to begin as she looked at Rey. Both hands were above her lips as she gasped and gushed.
She looked at Rey with both respect and caution. Deference and fear filled her eyes, and the same could be said about the others who were slowly sitting up on their beds.
"I am not an enemy." Rey softly responded, almost dismissively. He looked around him for any further traces of Miasma, just in case, but confirmed it was all gone.
"T-then are you... sent from The Oracle?"
Rey wondered how to respond to the question. He knew full well the religious views of the Elves. If he went under the canopy of The Oracle, then he and Esme would be treated with overall less suspicion.
He could even help them out more conveniently.
'But is that really what's beneficial in the long run? I mean, those in the Community see me as their leader—an entity similar to The Oracle, but not quite.
He wanted to determine if he should just continue down that path.
Ultimately, however...
"Yes. We are from The Oracle."
... Rey decided to go with the much safer option. Right now, they had all the cards. Besides, he could always take his words back if it came down to it.
"R-really?!"
"The Oracle answered our prayers!"
"I knew I wouldn't be forsaken by Nature's blessing!"
Rey nearly rolled his eyes as the Elves began to celebrate all about their salvation—almost easily forgetting about the deaths of thousands of their comrades.
Just because they were spared, they began to say stuff like, "The Oracle is merciful!" or "Nature truly favors the pious!"
This statement subtly connoted that the many who died weren't pious enough, or weren't deserving of such mercy and kindness.
He found that to be absolutely nonsensical.
'Still, it's none of my business...' His thoughts trailed, and his heart remained still despite all that was playing out in front of him.
"Take me to the rest of your ill. The moment of salvation has come"
As soon as Rey said this, Tatiana's face brightened up, and all of the Elves began to jump around in excitement. At that point, they all looked like little children.
'She must be going through unimaginable pain right now, and yet... she doesn't want to die.' A smile formed on his face as he approached even more.
"W-wait, if you get too close—!"
Rey ignored the warnings, and as soon as he crossed a particular threshold, a burst of Miasma rushed towards him with such thick intensity.
'I see. So the Miasma is so dense here that it'll attack anyone and poison them.' Unfortunately for such, however, Rey was immune to all Negative Status Conditions.
Miasma Poisoning was no exception.
The dreary room's lights constantly flickered as Rey took another step, almost like a scene cut out of a horror film.
He stared at the emaciated woman's face and smiled.
"I'm going to make sure you live."
