Chapter 434: The Cause of the Disease
"This."
Aldrian was stunned when he sensed something he had missed earlier. What he detected was a vast number of tiny, microscopic creatures gnawing at Eleine’s heart. These creatures resembled cells but had grotesque appearances—red in color, with tiny jagged mouths and numerous legs covering their bodies.
Additionally, they were releasing some kind of poison that affected her organs. He thought that their overwhelming numbers made the poison deadly, causing the symptoms she was experiencing now.
He was now certain that the source of this outbreak was these tiny creatures, which he thought were a special type of gu. When they came into contact with his golden energy, their movements slowed, and their defense mechanisms activated to repel any foreign force attempting to destroy them.
Aldrian had not immediately altered his golden energy’s properties to cure the disease earlier, as he wanted to first understand the nature of the disease afflicting Eleine and many others. That was why he had only used the golden energy to ease Eleine’s pain and calm her. However, now that he had confirmed the cause, he no longer needed to hold back—he finally unleashed its deadly properties against the gu.
The tiny creatures couldn’t withstand the healing and purifying properties of the golden energy. Many of them instantly vanished, their bodies crumbling like ash before disappearing without a trace.
Aldrian applied this to all of Eleine’s internal organs, carefully scanning her body to ensure none remained. The damage caused by the poison began mending at an incredible speed with the help of his golden energy. Her complexion grew much healthier, and her breathing became steadier until, finally, Aldrian could hear her soft, even breaths. She seemed to have fallen asleep.
After a minute of healing, Aldrian finally stopped and withdrew his hand from Eleine’s. He smiled softly at her sleeping face before turning to the others.
"It’s done."
The moment they heard him, Sylphia and Baek Jimin rushed to Eleine’s side, leaning in to examine her closely. They sighed in relief upon seeing that her condition had indeed improved.
Xin Haotian watched everything unfold in amazement. Was there truly anything this young man couldn’t do?
