Chapter 138 - Aleshia's Response

Chapter 138 Aleshia's Response It took a moment for Daniel's plea to register with Aleshia. As she thought about how to respond, she remembered the goal of the body she inhabited. Reflecting on what she learned of Kailey when they first met, she realized Kailey might know how to lift the curse. Seeking assurance, she reached out to Lucia. "Lucia, do you remember how Kailey had been searching for curse-curing magic back in the ruins?" After a brief pause, Lucia answered, "Yes, I recall she has been searching for a cure for her curse." As Lucia considered Kailey's goal, she began to reflect on how Aleshia's question related to the current situation. Just then, a spark of inspiration struck her. "Maybe if we sift through her memories, we could find a way to lift the curses affecting the humans down there." Pondering Lucia's idea, Aleshia exclaimed, "That's a great idea! But how do we view Kailey's memories?" As she posed the question, she vaguely recalled being able to pull up panels of information when she was in Kailey's soul. 'Maybe if I return to her soul realm, I can find information about curses and how to dispel them.' Aleshia asked Lucia if her idea was a viable option. When Lucia confirmed her idea, she turned to Daniel to respond to his question. "I don't know if I can completely rid them of their poison, but I can try. I also want to attempt to break the curse afflicting them, so would you allow me to do that as well?" Surprised by her proclamation, Daniel looked up to meet Aleshia's eyes and considered his decision before he replied. "I would appreciate it if you could focus on clearing the poisons first. Dealing with the curses immediately might alert the nobles who cast the spell to their removal, so please start with the poisons instead." "I understand." After that, Aleshia decided to postpone their initial plan until she cleared the victims of their poison. She approached the bodies and inspected them along with her witch hat. As Lucia scanned the sickly bodies around her, she noticed that many were suffering from persistent afflictions that compounded their sickness. She had learned that the poison was relatively easy to cure, but without being able to break the underlying curses, the poisons would return in full force. Through her experimentation with nature magic, she could boost their immune systems to help break down the toxins, but this would require an excessive amount of energy from their already weakened bodies—energy that they needed to continue functioning. Lucia feared that attempting this would only lead to their demise.
