Dahlia was already gone, yet Kanna still said they had to wait two hours. Were they waiting for this water orb to disappear?
Silence walked over and took Ifrit's hand, pulling her up from the ground, preparing to take her away from here. After all, Ifrit's health was already poor, and she had used Originium Arts so recklessly before. Coupled with the emotional roller coaster, the possibility of her condition worsening was extremely high. She needed to take her back to Rhodes Island immediately for treatment.
"Dahlia will definitely want to see you first when she wakes up! But if you leave, that honor will go to me, you know!" Seeing the saddened Ifrit being led away, Kanna suddenly spoke.
Hearing Kanna's words, Ifrit paused, then pulled her hand away from Silence and walked to Kanna's side. "Honestly, I don't like anything you've done today, but if you can really save Dahlia, I'm willing to forgive you. Don't worry, I'll wait here with you until the end, no matter the outcome. Even if Dahlia eventually leaves us, I will see her off to the very end."
Kanna rubbed her head. Well, she had meant well, but ended up being the bad guy... It seemed she would have to go to the library to find a copy of "The Art of Language: How to Get Along with Others" and study it properly after this.
Silence saw Ifrit stubbornly refusing to leave with Kanna and was heartbroken. Unable to do anything, she looked at Saria, only to find her intently gazing at the water orb.
"Ifrit's condition is very dangerous. No matter what happens here, I hope you can take her back to Rhodes Island. You know she'll agree if you tell her to go back." Even though she was reluctant to let Saria and Ifrit interact, Silence still chose to ask her, considering Ifrit's health.
But unexpectedly, Saria refused. Silence involuntarily took a step back, surprised that Saria would make such a choice.
Just then, a few more vehicles drove up nearby. After the car doors opened, the person who stepped out was her most familiar Joyce, also known as Operator Ptilopsis.
And accompanying the cars was a team from the Medical Department.
"Joyce, why are you here?" Silence felt a hint of joy upon seeing her.
"Doctor Kal'tsit guessed you might need help, so she arranged for me to bring a team of Medical Operators for support, and also brought Rhodes Island's latest oripathy Block agent."
Joyce looked at the Operators, most of whom were scarred, standing together, and recounted what had happened after they left.
Kanna also heard Ptilopsis's words. She patted Ifrit's shoulder. "Why don't you go get some treatment first? This will still take a while. Otherwise, Dahlia will be saved, but you'll collapse. I don't have a second pure originium to save you, and besides, if something really happened to you, Silence would hate me."
Ifrit thought of the pained look in Silence's eyes after she had refused her earlier, and a hint of hesitation flashed across her small face.
"Don't worry, go get treatment. I'll call you over when Dahlia's situation is almost finished," Kanna said, seeing Ifrit's hesitation, and persuaded her.
"Okay, then it's a deal. When Dahlia's situation is almost finished, you must notify me. No matter what her outcome, I want to see her off to the very end." Ifrit extended her hand, wanting to pinky swear with Kanna...
"Don't worry, if this really succeeds, it's hard to say who will send whom off on their final journey!" Kanna's inner Make complaints spirit rose again as she thought about the Purewater Spirit's lifespan.
After the agreement, Ifrit walked to the convoy. Although she was still unwilling to leave, Ptilopsis had brought a lot of medicine this time, enough for a temporary field treatment. While it wouldn't be as effective as at Rhodes Island, the difference wouldn't be too great, which slightly put Silence at ease.
After Ifrit left, Saria walked over to Kanna. "Can you tell me, what will Dahlia eventually become?"
Kanna looked at Saria beside her and spread her hands. ㄟ ( ▔ , ▔ ) ㄏ
"This is my first time using this thing too, how would I know what the final result will be? But Dahlia's condition has no other options left. I'm purely treating a dead horse as if it's alive."
"So, you're certain Dahlia is still alive now?" Saria pointed at the water sphere that pulsed rhythmically like a heart.
"You felt it too, didn't you? Although Dahlia is no longer in this water sphere, there's a very rich vitality within it, like the first life awakening during the revival of all things..." Although no living creature could be seen in the water sphere, Kanna could feel the surging vitality emanating from it. Moreover, the system's transformation countdown was still ticking steadily, proving that the transformation process was going very smoothly.
After about two hours, Kanna called out to Ifrit by the vehicle, "Dahlia is about to come out!"
Hearing Kanna's words, Ifrit directly pulled out the syringe in her hand, then rushed to the water's edge with an anxious expression.
The Operators present all knew that Kanna had performed a very special "treatment" on Dahlia, and Kanna had even vowed that if it succeeded, Dahlia would be completely free from the troubles of oripathy.
This "great" moment made all the Operators, especially the Medical Operators who had been tirelessly researching treatments for oripathy, very excited. Even Kal'tsit, far away on Rhodes Island, received this news and, after putting Warfarin down from the bridge, brought her here. At this moment, the oasis was surrounded by Rhodes Island's elites. However, Kal'tsit had told everyone at the oasis not to spread this news, so the arriving Operators were a bit puzzled as to why Kal'tsit suddenly brought almost all of the island's elites to surround a small oasis.
Hearing Kanna's words, all the informed Medical Operators, including Kal'tsit, took a few steps forward, wanting to see exactly what was happening at the first opportunity.
In front of everyone, the water sphere suddenly expanded and contracted violently, then burst open, scattering into the lake water.
"Where's Dahlia! Where's Dahlia?" Ifrit looked around but didn't find Dahlia's figure. She involuntarily walked into the water, wanting to get closer to where the water sphere had been, searching for Dahlia's form.
Kanna opened the system and took a look, confirming that Dahlia had successfully transformed into a Purewater Spirit. So, at this moment, the other party must be in this lake water.
With her extraordinary eyesight, she saw something unusual about the flowing water by Ifrit's leg. A clear stream of water slowly crawled up Ifrit's leg, like a mischievous child preparing to prank a friend.
