Chapter 38: Changing Direction
Two months later, in the Labyrinth Workshop.
Rena wore a mask and gloves at the workbench, pinning down a mouse for observation.
She used a long needle to touch the left side of the mouse’s body.
The mouse struggled nonstop, clearly in great pain, yet the left side of its body remained completely immobile, shriveled and stiff like a dried corpse.
“This medicine’s effect still isn’t ideal.”
Rena sighed and put down the experimental tools in her hands.
“I didn’t think it would be that simple either.” Leon, who had been standing to the side with his arms crossed and watching, shrugged.
Rena was currently researching the toxic mechanism of Cockatrice venom, hoping to concoct a special medicine that could cure the aftereffects of Leon’s injury.
The Cockatrice Beast was a low-level Magical Beast in the labyrinth and not particularly rare.
