The so-called crystallization disease, to put it simply, is that the creature has the symptoms of slow crystallization of internal organs due to the invasion of the flesh by magic crystals, which is a man-made magical disease.

Its nature is not much different from the purple spot that young people have seen in Hurengel.

The general difference may just be that the Joker used the heart of the demon child to spread purple spot disease in Hurengel in order to gather enough sacrifices to open a teleportation array connecting the Sulphur Hell and even the Bottomless Abyss to the surface world.

And the goal of the poisonous vine to cultivate the Demon Crystal Beast in the dagger jungle may just be an alchemical experiment that the cult female patriarch is studying. Whether it was a Crystal Beast transformed from a beast as an experimental subject, or a Crystal Slave transformed from a humanoid creature as an experimental subject, Finn remembered that both twisted alchemy creatures had appeared in future wars.

All in all, Arya's current state can probably be said to be in the early stages of the evolution from a free life form to a demon crystal slave.

At this stage, her own consciousness will be imprisoned in the depths of the spirit world by a nightmare, and the personality of the crystal slave will be born when her master personality is trapped in the nightmare, and gradually grow as the crystallization worsens.

When the Crystal slave personality completes this process of growth, Arya's consciousness will be completely replaced, and her body will be taken over by the slave personality completely controlled by the poisonous vines, and she will become a pathetic existence like the ghost of Perometheus.

"But how do you know so much?" When Finn finished speaking, the old Tiflin witch Butera, who was beside Vercidis, was the first to express her doubts.

"I've seen these kinds of tragedies on my past trips, so I know so much." Finn answered with a sideways look.

The young man's words weren't strictly speaking, as the "past travels" he spoke of date back to when he was a gamer in his last life.

In his past gaming career, he has witnessed some NPC characters in the game suffer from crystallization and eventually turn into poor monsters. He was then relieved by using the Church's silver sword and divine magic.

So he knows that.

"And do we have a chance to save this elven companion of yours?" After listening to Finn's explanation of Arya's symptoms, Vercidis, of course, could understand what the young man's purpose was in popularizing these things to everyone, so he then grasped the key point of the question and asked rhetorically.

"There's still a chance." Finn looked at the man and nodded, "As far as I know, we need to get that magic crystal out of Arya's chest as soon as possible. But. In order to prevent the consciousness of the crystal slave from hurting Arya's nightmare master when we take out the crystal, it is best to clear some means to interfere with Arya's dream while taking out the crystal. ”

As the words fell, he temporarily stopped his speech, and rolled his eyes left and right to look at Vercidis and Basera, who were standing on his right, and Atasu and Guter, who were standing on his right, respectively, and the meaning in his eyes seemed to ask, "Do you have the means to interfere with dreams?" ”

“…… My talent is 'Dream Invasion'. Basera hesitated, then raised her head and looked at Finn with the two old eyes on her face, "That is, literally. As long as the willpower of this child named Arya is bad enough, then I can theoretically invade my own and even the spirits of others into her dreams. ”

As if she was worried that the young man in front of her was overestimating her abilities, she added, "Of course, if I want to drive someone else's spirit to invade this child's dream, then I need a little necessary help. ”

"What do you need?" Finn immediately bowed slightly, keeping his gaze at the same level as the old witch. Gazing into the eyes of the Tieflin witch.

The old Tiflin witch named Bathra wrinkled, and looked sideways at Vercidis, who was full of wrinkles. After receiving a reckless nod of affirmation, he turned back to Finn and replied, "Magic—I need a constant stream of magic to sustain my natural abilities. You can imagine that I carved a dream entrance at the edge of the intruder's dream, and the magic on me was the support frame that kept that dream entrance alive. ”

"But I'm afraid the magic potions we have on hand won't be able to meet your needs for unleashing your natural abilities." As if aware of the old witch's ability to invade dreams, Vercides looked sideways at Buthera's side face and reminded the old woman Tieflin who had been with him for a long time.

"It's all right, Lord Vercidis." With a look of gratitude, Barcera turned half of her face to glance at the black-haired blue-eyed man, and raised a finger to Lilith, who was kneeling beside Arya. "Because, isn't the qualification of this warlock lady here quite good?"

As soon as her words fell, Finn and Lilith themselves did not react, and Atasu and Guter, two lizardmen from the Greenclaw Tribe, were alert in their minds, and immediately raised two pairs of snake eyes to stare at Barthra.

"Oh. Don't get me wrong, I don't have any hellish idea of trying to make a living sacrifice. Sensing the suddenly alarmed gazes of Atasu and Guter, Basera pursed the corners of her lips disdainfully, feeling the need to explain a little, "I'm Tieflin, but I'm not a demon. I just want you to know that a witch can use a kind of magic that can be used by other spellcasters to deliver magic to her. This little girl makes me feel good, she is full of magical energy, and I even fear that the magic in her body will one day burst like a flood. ”

“…… Then the candidate for the invasion of Nightmare can be finalized at any time. Vercidis raised a hand to support his chin, "But who will take out this amethyst?" ”

"I'm afraid I'll have to move a few knives on her chest to get this crystal...... Want to gamble? Atasu spat out the long tongue in his mouth, and the amber snake pupils swirled in circles in the sockets on either side of his head.

"But this amethyst is embedded in the child's chest." The Greenpaw tribe's Guterl Shaman immediately felt that his chief's suggestion was inappropriate, "From the point of view of the crystal skew, I think we had better not pull this thing out without being sure, otherwise this child's heart will ......"

"But who is sure of what you say, Gutel?"

"Professional doctor, Chief Atasu."

The lizardman chief of the Greenclaw tribe was stunned.

"Do you remember, Chief?" Seeing that his chief had indeed remembered something, Gutel continued, "Our people have met a human passing through the jungle in the past, who has a means of healing other than magic, and who can heal the wounds of some of our brothers with the help of bandages, medicines, and some strange gadgets, and that is the doctor. ”

"So, do we have a doctor here?" Atasu asked with a wink.

“…… I'm afraid not. "The old shaman is staggered.

“……”

The scene was about to fall silent again.

And yet, at this moment-

"No, we do!" Finn clenched his fists, his eyes widened, and he immediately leaned down excitedly to look at the amethyst on Arya's chest again.

Then, in a tone of surprise and a little anxious, he turned his head and shouted at the crowd: "Everyone, please come with me to a place - I know a doctor, and he is in this dense forest!" (To be continued.) )
