Chapter 1098: Cleansing, Hunting, And Healing
After some organization, we immediately started the "cleansing, hunting, and healing" process. I had quickly made a three-step process using my special abilities and the help of everyone in here involved.
Thanks to the Doctor, we were able to quickly purify everyone who had yet to get infected with Emeraldine's magic, leaving a veil over their bodies which would protect them from getting infected.
Lastly, I spread my shadows below everyone and also summoned several Undead, large Skeletons, Zombies, and Specters of various shapes and sizes, expanding my [Demonic Farm and Abyssal Mine Of Blood Dragon Bones] Skill Domain at the same time, giving them powerful Blood Bone Dragon Armor and Weapons to not only them but everyone.
The guards and the doctor also wanted to be present, so I had to quickly arm them up with decent defenses and a good enough weapon. I gave everyone Blood Bone Dragon Shields and heavy armor mostly, and also spears.
I also had my own equipment such as the Ghoul Armor and the Thunder Spear, which I mixed in between everyone, some of them getting double armor, such as Nia and Celes.
"Ahh, this is a bit heavy..." Nia cried. "But I do feel quite protected!" she was wearing full body armor; I couldn't even see her face.
"It's better to do this than to be sorry later, I guess..." Celes said.
"So much equipment on top of equipment..." Arthur said, he seemed a bit uncomfortable. "Big sis, I think you're being a bit too overprotective. Why does Partner not wear any armor though? Emeraldine either..."Thê source of this conte/nt n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
"That's because they're tough enough to withstand everything without armor," I said. "Though, they're still wearing strong equipment, it is just custom made for them by me too, their clothes and everything, it counts as armor, just like my own dress."
"Ooh..." Arthur seemed to understand.
"Still a bit annoying..." Fabian said. "Auntie, are you sure this'll work out?"
"Don't worry Fabian, it's all calculated," I nodded.
The plan was simple, as everyone would stay around the fifty infected people, I would use the same powers as before and quickly purify them out of the curse, letting the critters out.
Then, after that, Emeraldine would conjure healing and barrier magic on the victims, protecting them, and while I also protected them, everyone would take care of the Miasmids.
The entire battle was quick yet slightly desperate, lasting roughly ten minutes.
Once we were over, Emeraldine and Arthur did a last check, and purified the entire building a second time, noticing two Miasmids had been hiding beneath the beds, and quickly being taken care of.
After a third check, there were no longer any more of these little bastards around.
"Looks like we did it, well done! Let's rest for a bit now..."
Everyone sighed in relief, quickly sitting down to rest. Although it wasn't that tiring to me, everyone else would disagree with me in that statement, as it was indeed quite tiring for them.
"Eat something for now, rest, and then we'll continue. We can't waste much time as I said," I quickly shared some meals and with Emeraldine and Arthur's help, we healed everyone from exhaustion or residual Miasma.
After another fifteen minutes of rest, we moved onto the next batch, fifty more people. The process was pretty much the same without any variables, the critters were a bit more aggressive this time, as if they knew we were coming for them, but died the same anyways. Another ten minutes of rest, and the we moved to the third batch, then the fourth and fifth batches, until we finally had cleansed and healed everyone that hadn't fully mutated.
"So many people fully healed... I can't believe this!" Doctor Altamar was having a hard time processing how well things went.
"We are not done yet though," I said. "We're moving to the mutated people now; we can't stop until everyone is fully healed after all."
"T-The mutated people... Is it really possible to heal them too, even in their stage?" he asked.
"Yeah... I think it should be possible, they will be left very weakened, but I think we can resolve that," I nodded.
As for body disfiguration that might be left, I can easily take care of that with my various flesh-manipulation and modifying skills.
With his lead and the guards, we moved to the staircase leading to the underground prison.
There were over a hundred prison rooms down here, almost all of them occupied.
"I can hear them... Their screams," Arthur sighed. "They're so confused and in pain..." "Don't worry, we'll take care of that," I said. "Let's do this."
