"Wait, am I hearing this right? You want to absorb the demonic energy from the mother tree and use your contract with your spirit to cleanse it?"
I nodded in response and jolted in place when he swung his staff, trying to hit me. "Aw, aw! Why are you suddenly hitting me?! I'm still injured, you know!"
His eyebrows were lowered and drawn together, showing anger and disbelief. "You're actually asking me that? Of course, I won't permit it! You're being reckless again, Adel."
I sighed. I knew he would go against my idea, but do we have a choice at this point? It's been months since the mother tree is in this state, and the demonic energy has already corrupted half of it! Elves in this village didn't know Elder Galdir was poisoning the mother tree, so I couldn't let them handle this situation.
