Kanna looked up. Because she rembered that Purewater Spirits needed a lot of water where they lived, she had already started Pray for Rain at the minimum level upon arrival. Although it was only the lowest setting, dark clouds slowly began to gather overhead.
A light rain would soon fall upon this wasteland.
Seeing Ifrit unsure of what to do, Kanna said, "Didn't you say you had an agreent with Dahlia to see the Purewater Spirit? The lake isn't far anyway, let's carry her over. If no one else can decide, we'll let her make the decision herself."
Ifrit nodded gratefully at Kanna, then carried Dahlia's body towards the oasis.
Silence was in a state of confusion at this mont. Firstly, Kanna's sudden and certain words—for a professional physician like herself to be at a loss, and then suddenly a child says she has a way to solve the problem—it was sowhat unacceptable.
Secondly, Kanna's explanation. The aning in her words was very clear: the thod carried great risks, and would transform the recipient into another kind of creature. The thought of another species with human thoughts sent a chill down Silence's spine.
However, everyone, including Silence herself, Saria, and the Operators of Rhodes Island, wanted to know what thod Kanna intended to use to save Dahlia. Perhaps it could provide a new avenue for severe oripathy infections. Thinking of Ifrit's Originium concentration also gradually rising, and that Dahlia would not survive the day without treatnt, the words refusing human experintation simply could not co out of her mouth. It was precisely for this reason that Silence did not stop Kanna's actions.
Upon arriving at the oasis, Ifrit carried Dahlia to the pool and gently placed her in the water.
Dahlia had also awakened from her coma at this ti. The rapid increase in Originium concentration caused her intense pain throughout her body. This suffering made sweat continuously pour from her already weak face, making Ifrit feel even more distressed.
"Don't just stand there, Dahlia. You should know your body can't hold on much longer. There's only one thod left that might save you, but this thod is still very dangerous. However, if it succeeds, you will be permanently free from the tornt of oripathy. Also, if you choose this treatnt, it's very likely you will transform into a different appearance, perhaps even cease to be human. Are you willing to accept it?"
Seeing Ifrit still in a daze, Kanna noticed Dahlia's vitality rapidly fading and quickly walked to her side, speaking.
"Will it hurt?" Although very weak, Dahlia still forced a smile.
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be more painful than what you're feeling now..." Kanna said in a deep voice, looking at the visibly proliferating Originium on her body.
"Then let's do it! Dahlia has nothing left to fear..." Dahlia was almost out of strength to speak, only holding on by a thread.
Kanna took out the pure originium under everyone's watchful eyes. At this mont, raindrops began to fall from the sky, adhering to the pure originium.
"Water is the source of life, and the Heart of Purewater is also the spring of all things' revival..." As Kanna spoke, the pure originium in her hand emitted a golden light and transford into a blue water orb before everyone's eyes.
Kanna moved her hands, guiding the Heart of Purewater to Dahlia's mouth. The Heart of Purewater turned into flowing water and entered Dahlia's body through her mouth.
At this mont, Ifrit felt Dahlia in her arms lose consciousness and couldn't help but look at Kanna.
"Don't panic. Place Dahlia in the water, and we'll go ashore!" Although she didn't know what the process of transforming a person into a Purewater Spirit looked like, it was clearly not ideal for them to stand there.
Ifrit could only trust Kanna at this point. She gently placed Dahlia down, then followed Kanna to where the crowd stood by the lake.
"What's happening?" Although everyone had seen the pure originium in Kanna's hand transform into a water orb and enter Dahlia's mouth, Dahlia was clearly unconscious, so they could only ask Kanna and Ifrit, who were closest.
Ifrit had never witnessed such a thing either and could only shake her head. Everyone looked at Kanna.
"To be honest, I know how to perform this operation, but this is my first ti actually using it. After all, I'm not so mad scientist who conducts human experints; that's really not my style."
Kanna opened her system. At this mont, the system began to display Dahlia's condition, but she couldn't tell the others, so she could only prevaricate.
"What? You used it on Dahlia without even being sure?" Ifrit beca sowhat anxious upon hearing this.
"Then tell , given Dahlia's current condition, are there any other chances? Honestly, if there was even a slight chance to save her using another thod, I wouldn't choose this thing," Kanna said helplessly.
At this mont, changes began to occur in the lake. Water slowly lifted Dahlia, raising her two to three ters high, then ford a water orb.
Everyone clearly saw the Originium on Dahlia's body slowly dissolving within the water orb, and Kanna's system also popped up a ssage: "Detected consur is not a system holder, divine infection initiated. Infected is a normal human and in a comatose state, completely lacking resistance. Divine infection successful, Purewater Spirit transformation initiated..." Just as everyone was surprised, they suddenly realized that not only was the Originium dissolving, but Dahlia's body also began to dissolve, and the dissolved body turned into a transparent liquid without a trace of blood.
At this mont, not only was Ifrit on the verge of going crazy, but even the others involuntarily took a few steps back in horror. Saria even raised her shield in front of her, and the spell of calcification flickered faintly before the crowd.
Kanna grabbed Ifrit, who wanted to rush forward after seeing this sight. "What are you panicking for? This is a crucial step. If you rush over and disrupt it, she'll not only be dead for sure, but you won't even find a trace of her."
Even though flas appeared in Ifrit's hands and a fiery demon flickered behind her, Kanna held her hand tightly without any slack.
Under everyone's gaze, Dahlia completely dissolved into the water orb. Ifrit could no longer control herself, collapsing to the ground and weeping uncontrollably.
The others looked at the water orb in mid-air, also believing Kanna's plan had completely failed. Only Kanna, however, breathed a sigh of relief. She sat on the sand nearby, watching the water orb.
"Why are you all standing around? We still have to stay here for about two hours."
Hearing Kanna's words, everyone's eyes showed strange expressions.
