With the sun rising the hunters headed back to the [Leish's Mobile Ship] the heat of the rising sun warmed them slightly.
Behind them was Fia who was walking slowly while observing the landscape with her new ability, when Maxwell turned around he noticed that Fia's eyes were a translucent white, they were so white that it seemed as if they were looking at you they were looking into your soul, just thinking about it made Maxwell's back go shivering and he turned his head forward in fear.
Fia's white eyes were carefully observing the destroyed landscape, however this time even the most minute of bacteria was present and Fia sensed the mana.
Her eyes widened, 'Is the area being purified? Impossible isn't it a bit too fast?' She thought away as she saw various mana particles "destroying" the demonic mana particles. Fia thought more and more about the possibility of the area being purified now that the dungeon was destroyed.
Purification, an event that happens when areas with a dungeon that have demonic energy are destroyed, demonic mana has a characteristic of destructive parasitism, that is, they feed on any particle that is within their radius. A dungeon that has a demon inside that has infiltrated gradually releases demonic energy, this was one of the causes of the 6 (not counting the invasion of demons) apocalypses, that is, the accumulation of demonic mana can have various effects, destruction is one of these. When the "supply" of demonic mana is distributed, the mana particles which are generated infinitely begin to destroy the demonic mana particles which can no longer "recharge", are "purified" by the particles
'This is the principle of the theory of life, that mana devours every impurity and makes them pure, mana is everywhere and is generated infinitely, despite various experiments of removing mana from an area, particles always form, mh it's always interesting as a thing.'
Fia's translucent white eyes turned black again, Fia had a bit of trouble keeping her balance perhaps because her eyes had already gotten used to that vision and therefore had a bit of trouble.
Continuing to walk through the destroyed land Fia had the idea of taking off her mask, in case she would get hurt because of the demonic mana she would immediately put the mask back on.
Brian and Maxwell turned slightly and saw Fia who was unhooking her black mask, taking them off and putting them on was very easy since they were literally gas masks but the thing that makes them unique is that the filters are made of a material that separates the mana and makes it breathable, in a "contaminated" area taking off the mask leads to only one thing, death. When Brian saw Fia who was unhooking her mask he shouted a very powerful noooo! Alerting the others who turned around suddenly at that moment Fia took off her mask.
"Ahhhh!" Fia exhaled and then inhaled as if nothing had happened without caring about the demonic mana, everyone was ready to see her last moments of life, but Fia did not die, in fact she was in great shape, she even started to make a slight movement with her hands on her hips while she breathed and inhaled.
Everyone was looking at her strangely as if they had seen a ghost in front of their eyes, one person pointed the finger at Fia and screamed accusing her of being a demon spy, and two others agreed with the one who accused her of being a demon, the man made that accusation because only demons can breathe in areas with demonic mana, so for them it was the most sensible choice. Looking at Fia with a look of contempt the man took out his sword and pointed it at Fia, and said: "Come on demon, or rather no daughter of the demon king Fia!"
All the people were shocked by what the man said, but he had a reason(not really, he gave a completely random title), but in a very "contaminated" area, demons can breathe but if the "contaminated" is higher than their degree, even if one of them starts to breathe with difficulty, it may seem like a contradiction but it is like that or at least it is like that in the human domain even if in reality the term human domain was lost and the name domain of races was given, but instead in the domain of demons (which is not found on earth) the rules are different. Fia shook her head in denial and began to move her hand in front of her face from right to left and then said: "No, no I'm not a demon, the blood of demons doesn't flow in me, let alone that of a princess, I'm not a demon, a question, do you know what is meant by purification phenomenon? If you do, better if you don't know, I'll explain it to you.
"When an area is in contact with a source of demonic mana, the area is destroyed, if the source of demonic mana is destroyed at that moment the particles of demonic mana are 'destroyed' by those of normal mana, but in reality the correct term is 'purification' the air is purifying itself and therefore becomes breathable, you can try."
A deathly silence falls, only a light wind could be heard caressing the dry twigs and the bark of the destroyed trees, at that moment the captain decided to trust Fia and took off his mask.
Before taking off the mask, some thoughts were going around in the captain's head, what if she would die? If what Fia says is not true, will she be able to survive until she puts the mask back on?
These were the types of questions he asked himself and repeated, thinking about it made the captain's blue eyes become slightly glossy, if she died, never mind, he couldn't do anything about it even if it would have been like being betrayed by a daughter for him.
The captain cared a lot about Fia, he himself saw her as a daughter even if he knew that the feeling was not mutual, he didn't care, after all, Fia is not a child and she still had her mother and father alive and healthy.
Having taken off the mask, the captain took a deep breath and inhaled and nothing happened to him, he was alive and well.
