Chapter 731 Curing Kristine
Varian didn"t know what Anna"s exact thoughts were, but from seeing the sharp-tongue maid being tongue-tied and her peeks at Sia, he guessed she was surprised at her strength.
"I"m not complaining that she"s silent."
Varian smiled to himself and glanced down at the unconscious woman in a pink princess dress.
Taking a deep breath, Varian opened the wooden box from Ron and carefully placed the herb on Kristine"s forehead.
"Sia."
"Got it."
With a nod, Sia locked her mind sense on the woman. If anything went wrong during the process, she"d inform Varian and even offer a.s.sistance.
But Sia wasn"t just doing the work he asked her, she was also keeping an eye on Anna and Richard.
"Even though they spent time with him…after what happened to Enigma, I can"t really trust others." Sia was worried that Varian would also be betrayed.
No matter how reliable their relationship was in the past, once they learned that an 18-year-old reached peak of level 7, the surprise everyone had would be followed by a deep fear.
Humans feared what they didn"t understand. And they didn"t understand Varian at all.
Sia didn"t show any hostility to the maid and butler, but she was ready to strike them out any time.
"I need to do this properly." Varian"s index finger touched the herb and pressed it on Kristine"s forehead.
The mental power in his body flowed into the herb and the herb started to let out a soft golden light.
Varian could feel his mental power rushing into the herb and mixing with the herb"s essence.
The result was something far greater.
Even though he was on the verge of becoming a level 8 psychic, Varian could only vaguely feel the power in this herb.
It wasn"t the mind power.
Something…something far more fundamental.
[Soul Power] The system suddenly said.
Varian"s eyebrows quivered lightly. If it was a normal time, he"d have asked for more.
But right now, he had to maintain his full focus.
The golden power was too delicate to handle and he had to give his all.
The system knew this too, but it kept speaking, clearly intending to get revenge for his bullying.
[After you enter the Celestial Ranks, Sage Avenue splits into three parts. You are either pursuing Life Power, Death Power, or Soul Power.
Body or Morphers can pick either Life or Death, but Mind Awakeners only go through the route of the Soul.
When combined with your mind power, the Galini herb can produce a strand of soul power. It"s too dilute and too weak to be of any use for a celestial ranker, but to you, it"s a rare treasure.]
Varian was surprised at the new information. He was a curious person and sought answers. He wanted to ask many questions.
"What does Life Force mean?"
"Can Death Force control corpses?"
But he couldn"t afford to do that.
His current focus was already stretched to the limit and any further action would screw the whole plan.
With twitching lips, Varian focused his mind power and pushed the golden power into Kristine"s head.
The golden power flooded her mind and entered her brain. It was as if it was some formless gas, the golden light filled her brain and reached a particular spot.
"Ah!"
Varian exclaimed as he found the place responsible for her condition.
"Gotcha!"
With precise control, he used the power to heal her mental state bit by bit.
Kristine wasn"t just a six-year-old girl, she was also a woman who was much older than him.
Even though she stopped growing, Kreo never stopped trying to cure her condition and made attempts to have her develop a mature mind.
So, she had memories of complex things only an adult would"ve.
However, due to her injury in the past, she couldn"t process those thoughts and remained immature.
But now.
"Grow up overnight."
Only one strand of Galini was grown for the entire demon abyss. Because Galini wasn"t just a cure. It had many properties. Speeding up brain activity, memory manipulation, cure to mental illnesses, and more.
Now, by accelerating her brain activity millions of times, Varian let Kristine"s subconscious revisit all those memories and grow.
It wasn"t wrong to say that in the few seconds he started healing her, she had already lived a year of memories.
But that wasn"t all.
Another property of the fabled Galini herb was memory manipulation.
But of course, any psychic could manipulate memory. But the trick lay in the stability.
If the victim"s brain wasn"t too weak, he could recover his memories with proper treatment and expensive potions.
However, with Galini herb, memory change was irreversible. Because it operated by a strand of soul power, mind power and the like couldn"t affect it in the slightest.
This was the reason Varian was so adamant about this herb.
"You are still the daughter of Kreo, but what happened is…"
Varian"s mind sense carefully controlled the memories of Kristine and added new bits and pieces.
Kristine"s brows were furrowed as her eyelashes fluttered.
After a few minutes, the golden light disappeared and Kristine slowly opened her eyes.
"Hm?" She glanced at the people around her warily.
"This…" Richard was taken aback.
This girl was no longer acting childish. Instead, she reacted like a proper adult.
Just what"s going on?
"Kreo!" Kristine suddenly yelled, causing Sia to flinch and almost attack her.
But glancing at her again, the brown-haired beauty realized that something was off.
"Where is Kreo?" Kristine leaned forward on the bed and asked.
Her hair covered her face and all they could see were her eyes.
Those eyes…
Burning Rage.
"Varian, what did you do?" Anna whispered in his ear.
"A taste of his own medicine." Varian mouthed and smiled at Kristine. "Just go to the street and they"ll take you to him."
"Really?"
"Really." Varian smiled and handed her a sword and a box. "You know what to do, right?"
Kristine stored the two items in her storage ring and left without answering.
"W-Wait, if she goes out like this, we"ll all be caught as well," Anna said, about to stop Kristine from opening the bas.e.m.e.nt door.
"This place is now abandoned." Varian smiled and snapped his fingers.
All the evidence was erased and the expensive items flew to Richard who put them into the storage ring.
"Let"s go."
The ghost ship opened in front of them.
As they exited mars, Varian smiled coldly. "Kreo, what will you do?"
