Chapter 144
"Void Plague..." Michelle muttered as she swept her gaze over Mare’s long and sleek snake body, coiled around the Void Obsidian. "But doesn’t that infect someone if void gets stuck in or around their body? So if I pull the void out of her, she should be fine."
"No!" Alexander shook his head. His voice was still playful and carefree, but there was a hint of seriousness. "Void has an expansive tendency, so if even a speck of it enters her body, when you pull it out, it will leave behind some remnants which will expand and throw her into the same condition I was in."
Alexander’s words made Michelle frown. "Well, that’s troublesome..." she said with a sigh.
"Why don’t you just proceed with the plan?" Alexander leaned against the cave wall, his black eyes fixated on Michelle. "In the end, you can always just cure her of Void Plague if she gets it. You were able to cure me, so curing Mare shouldn’t be a problem."
"That might be true..." Michelle kept frowning. "But if it were possible, I would like to fix the contract without putting Mare through pain."
"She is unconscious. She won’t remember it." Alexander tilted his head a bit. "You have nothing to worry about. Even if it seems like she is conscious, that’s just the damage to her soul and contract controlling her. She is completely unaware of what is going on."
Hearing that, Michelle’s purple eyes widened, and she turned her head to look at Alexander. "Why didn’t you say that earlier? I thought she was conscious the whole time!"
Alexander shrugged. "I had no reason to. Whether she’s conscious or not doesn’t affect the process of fixing the damage caused by the soul energy."
With a sigh, Michelle turned her head back to Mare and the boulder, knowing that talking with Alexander any more would be pointless. "I’m going to start, so step back a bit," she finally said as she closed her purple eyes again.
