The Witch Hunter System - Chapter 291

“I see… Let’s say that you can use pleasure to negate the pain,” Lord Narvim accepted Vaan’s claim at face value.

“However, that only reduces the patient’s resistance. But from what this Lord has observed, there’s no way to fix the knotted mana veins besides cutting them and reattaching them. However, witches’ mana veins aren’t just tied to their source of magic but also their souls.”

“Thus, cutting into them would cause irreversible damage to their… No, if it’s you, it doesn’t matter if their souls suffer damage. You can patch them up by sacrificing some of your soul force…” Lord Narvim quickly realized Vaan’s treatment process.

“I see…” Lord Narvim nodded shortly after and commented with understanding, “So that’s how you pulled it off, Vaan.”

Vaan slightly smiled.

“If you don’t mind, I wish to begin Eniwse’s treatment immediately, Your Excellency,” Vaan requested before adding, “Also, rather than explaining, seeing my treatment process firsthand would be easier.”

“Very well, I will inform the others to make room for you to carry out the treatment without interference,” Lord Narvim agreed.

Shortly after the dragon lord approached the center with the group, the True Dragons observing the Wyvern-type Abomination with special ocular magic quickly made way.

“Lord Ninth,” the True Dragons greeted with subservience as they lowered their heads.

“Make way for this Lord’s valued guest. He will be conducting his treatment on the Wyvern-type Abomination. You may observe and learn from a distance, but be on your best behaviors and do not interfere with his treatment,” Lord Narvim strictly instructed.

“U-Understood, Lord Ninth.”

Although the True Dragons were surprised and had doubts regarding Vaan’s ability, they did not raise their objections.

They retreated obediently and found their seats thirty yards away from the central cage.

“The stage is yours, Vaan,” Lord Narvim informed.

“Thank you, Your Excellency.”

Shortly after, Vaan left the group behind and entered the central area alone. He stopped a few feet just in front of the Wyvern-type Abomination and glanced at its restless eyes.

Although Eniwse wasn’t writhing in pain due to the effects of the dragon’s anesthetics, Vaan could see the mental fatigue revealed in her eyes.

Eniwse had become an Abomination for a much shorter period than Aeliana.

Thus, her mental fatigue was a clear sign that her mind hadn’t been twisted by the pain and despair just yet.

“I’ve finally found you, Eniwse. Don’t worry; I’ll return you to normal soon and end your pain. But before that, you have to endure a little more. So bear with me, okay?” Vaan softly spoke to her with warmness.

At the same time, the Wyvern-type Abomination shed a single drop of tears as it stared at Vaan without blinking. IT was happy to see Vaan was still alive.

“Wruu…” the Wyvern-type Abomination let out a soft whimper-like groan.

Astoria and Aeliana watched Vaan from a distance, and they couldn’t help but feel envious in their hearts. Vaan’s attitude to Eniwse was completely different from how he treated them.

Although he treated them well, there was still a clear distinction between them.

Nevertheless, it was also in these rare instances that Astoria could see another side of Vaan, which made him seem not as distant as he usually portrayed himself.

‘He’s still a human being with emotions, after all,’ Astoria thought.

‘I want my Lord to look at me with the same level of affection one day,’ Aeliana silently prayed while biting her lips.

She realized it was impossible to monopolize his affection. Thus, she can only settle for equal treatment. And to do that, she can’t cause problems for her Lord.

…

Meanwhile, Vaan wasn’t aware of Astoria and Aeliana’s thoughts.

After promising to treat Eniwse and recover her former appearance, Vaan allowed the Heaven-Swallowing Space to devour all the remaining dragon fragments he had.

Ding!

…

After hearing the notification, Vaan was pleasantly surprised.

Although he knew the Thousand Fog Illusion Dragon’s fragments were made of condensed mana and had a high mana value, it was still higher than he had anticipated.

If he had to convert it into mana stones, the Thousand Fog Illusion Dragon’s worth would be in the several tens of thousands of low-rank mana stones.

Nevertheless, Vaan quickly shoved the miscellaneous thoughts aside and focused on the important matter; Eniwse’s treatment.

Vaan took out his Rank 4 Black Sword and sterilized it with Kinetic Energy Manipulation. Then, he studied Eniwse’s knotted mana veins with Omni-Sense.

After running numerous simulations in his mind, he locked onto the most efficient unknotting route, which would guarantee the surgery’s completion in the shortest time.

After all, the shorter the surgery, the less pain Eniwse had to endure.

Nevertheless, he did not follow the exact same treatment process he conducted with Aeliana’s case.

On the contrary, he took additional steps by taking out several Gehenna plants and crushing them into essence before mixing them to create his only anesthetics.

It was Rank 1 medicine at best, but good enough to provide some extra relief.

Afterward, he entered Lycan Transformation and smeared the anesthetics over his sterilized sword and claws.

“Trust me.”

“Wruu…”

The Wyvern-type Abomination didn’t resist despite the weapons in Vaan’s hand.

For the following five minutes, Lord Narvim and the others watched Vaan perform surgery with rapid speed and precision.

His hands moved so fast that they became blurred, repeating the process of pleasure massage, cutting knotted mana veins, and reattaching them with his blood.

Several True Dragons strained their eyes to keep up with his hand movements; they were forced to use ocular magic.

“Eniwselia,” Vaan whispered her True Name at the end of the surgery.

Under the effects of Name Bestowal, Eniwse felt instant relief as her soul recovered from the damages incurred during the treatment process.

At the same time, her Abomination form glowed with red light before her body reverted to her former human appearance, allowing the others to see what she looked like.

Aeliana immediately scrutinized Eniwse’s facial features, wondering what kind of otherworldly beauty she was.

However, her gaze quickly shifted to her chest and bulged in surprise. Afterward, she glanced down at her small breasts and felt a sense of inferiority and defeat.

There’s no way she could compete with Eniwse’s enormous melons.
