For You This World I'll Destroy

Two-Eyed Illusion (3)

—13—

“Well, that's my secret,” said I lit the Lantern Flower and followed Lumina into a hallway.

“... Ma Dame still hides many things from me,” Lumina said with a long sigh, “But.

Watch out for my feet coming down that steep stone staircase, following the witch who wanted to show me her lab. The lab that Lumina creatively built itself from the dungeon.

My eyes were wide open, seeing that the prison cells had been conjured with alchemy equipment, complete with shelves full of dry ingredients that I was envious of seeing. There were even some types of fungi and plants that I had never seen before.

"What tool is this?” I was curious, pointing at a large oven full of pipes connected to it.

Lumina smiled proudly, “Ehem! I present you my magical Thesis, Charbydis R2! With this device, Ma Dame can manipulate the temperature as he pleases, as quickly and safely as possible!" said the witch suddenly full of vigor.

Behind the glass lid, the oven contained a pile of petri dishes filled with blood-red gelatin. The pipe skeletons that weaved all over arranged a Manganese-class Magicite nucleated mechanism, a simple magic crystal that continuously provided weak fire magic to vaporize the water and maintain the oven's temperature.

“Ara, with this tool, I no longer need to bother looking for firewood for a hot bath," I said admiring the practicality of this one genius invention.

"E-Eh. An interesting implementation,” murmured Lumina who then glared and shook her head, "T-Wait! This is not what I want to show Ma Dame!" continues waking.

Carefully, Lumina opened the glass door of Charbydis R2 and was greeted with a warm gust of water vapor. Deftly, the girl took out a few petri dishes and immediately closed them. Then in spirit, the witch went to her trial table and opened the petri dish for me.

"So the thing you're hiding from me.. is a sweet so?" ask me who was confused when I saw the red gelatin that had been stained with yellow incisions pale on the side of the petri dish.

"Bukann! This is proof that there are small creatures that live with us" Lumina said, setting up five test tubes on the table.

I ruffled my waist, “Little creature?" many wonder.

Lumina twirled her hair thinking as she spoke, "Hmm, when I was handling the case in Junon, I noticed that there was a certain place that had a high incidence of Nyght outbreaks while there was a place that did not experience it at all. According to Ma Dame why did it happen?" lumina then filled the four chemical tubes with three water and two blood that had been preserved with magic.

"Because of the different concentrations of miasma in that place?" I said I answered the potluck based on the limited theory I knew about medicine.

Lumina poked the yellow spots on the red agar with a stick, then rubbed it on the second cup of water and the last one filled with blood. After that, Lumina said, too,

“At first, I believed that theory too. But in my experiment, I found it,” said Lumina who then placed her palms over the five mouths of the tube. He slowly whispered a magic spell, "Mana Touch," and sent the source of the magic inside his body to the five fluids there.

A bright light suddenly appeared throughout the tube except for the first tube containing only water and the last tube filled with blood.

Resonance magic.

However, magic resonance can only occur when an object emits its magic energy on another object that has mana. For example, the Lantern Flower that shimmered when the flow of a Witch. But water has no mana, while blood has mana, the protein content in it should obscure the magic resonance.

So what makes the test tube glow?

"Have Ma Dame heard the story of Alliese City?”

I nodded, “The first human city saved by Moon Daemon?" my many.

"This sample I took from that town. The third tube is when the city uses the water source from the river that the residents used to use, while the first tube is after I asked them to change the water source from the Montanna mountains. Shortly after the changeover, the incidence of Nyght outbreak was drastically reduced,” said Lumina who then pointed to the second tube, which is the second tube,

"This second tube is water from the first tube I applied with bacteria from a petri dish... Which resonates here makes me suspicious," continued Lumina who put her index finger on the fourth and fifth tubes while chanting the mantra, “More after I found this... Mala Touch.”

I covered my mouth with a smile on my lips. Doctor Oe.

Mala Touch is a magic that forces Mala, a waste product of magic energy to bring herself to be a purplish light. And in the fourth and fifth tubes, purple rays appeared and brightened up. Signs there's an active magic process going on in that tube.

Hmmm, if I can't remember wrongly, according to Asherune's postulate, his simple practice of magic is the conversion cycle of Mana and Mala controlled by two enzymes, Manazyme and Malazyme.

I touched the fourth tube and felt the heat there, "This is the magic of the Heat wave. There are only three beings who can use magic. Humans and Daemons cannot be this small, right.. Then, could this little creature you want to show is an Anima?”

Lumina smiled bitterly, “True Princess. This is the cause of the Ngyht Plague which engulfs half of those living in the world. A microscopic Anima that continuously casts Heat Wave magic by swapping its host Mana for the Mala it produces," he said, turning off his magic in all five tubes and looking down,

"This, too, explains the stage of Nyght disease. The heat generated by Anima will be a complaint of fever for no reason at stage One.

As it continues, heat and superadical will begin to break the blood vessels throughout the body into stage two, where blotches appear everywhere and blood begins to come out of all the body's holes along with the skin," he continued, which then looked very heavy to mention the third stage.

I cut him off, "And in stage three, the heart of the sufferer could not withstand the heat and superadical, so it finally broke and the sufferer died with great suffering," I said synthesizing Lumina's discovery.

From Lumina's point of view, I understood. It seems like the boy I helped this afternoon met a bitter end.

“If you manage to find the cause of the Nyght Plague, aren't you one step away from conquering it, Moon Daemon?” ask me to fold my hand.

“... One step was very steep,” said Lumina who then took me to her dark and cold storage room.

When the lantern flower was lit, my eyes were immediately greeted by a row of tall shelves, filled with petri dishes filled with red. Running out of words I was only stunned to see the massive collection. This is not the name of ordinary witch research, but it has reached the stage of obsession.

“Out of Master Arthur's knowledge, for years I tried all kinds of plants in the world to defeat the microscopic Anima,” said Lumina who took a petri dish and showed it to me,

“Until finally, just this year, I found it. A nameless fungus that can conquer the Nyght Plague. The people of civilization used to call it penicillium but I don't know for sure,” he continued who showed a white dot in order to blood it, then brought Mala Touch magic and showed the nilnya magic activity there.

I laughed amusedly, “So this little mushroom is a legendary Mutterbeweisen that is able to defeat a thousand diseases?” I said in disbelief, “But, if you have it, why didn't the doctor save Gideon with this medicine?” much

“With a dose as small as this. Impossible,” replied Lumina who was staring at the petri dish's poignant, “The cup is the last specimen of that mushroom. Various ways I have tried, but.. I can not cultivate it.”.

Araraa. At first I thought the Moon Daemon had actually found Mutterbeweisen and conquered the Nyght Plague. And the doctor didn't realize that the drug he found was Magebane. A toxin-producing fungus that binds to manazyme and prevents the process of magic formation.

The poison of a witch.

I thought I destroyed the mushroom... But it still seems to be left huh? I sat down at the lab desk and folded my hands. Lumina knows too much. If he has the funds and the facilities, he will be a threat to my plan to destroy this world.

Because the little anima Lumina found was a small particle from the Yggdrasil Tree. For seven years coming in this world, I grew that tree all over the world. The roots of the light tree also touched the surrounding water source and infected the water with the Nyght plague.

That way, the Yggdrasil tree can become stronger by absorbing the Mana of all living things in this world.

Hmm, dilemma. Should I finish Lumina now?

No. gabe. If there were no travelers in the world, I would have finished off this innocent girl. But, I don't know who and what information the traveler knows about me yet. Better yet, I took advantage of Lumina's naivety and made her my new pawn.

“Why are you so obsessed with Mutterbeweisen? Isn't a Homunculus like you immune to that disease?” my many.

Lumina put the cup back on her shelf and said, “I may be immune. All this I started. so that the Nyght Plague does not reach Master Arthur.”.

… I found no lies or hidden intentions behind the girl's words. Looks like he really did this for Arthur. Very noble, but Lumina doesn't know the sweet reason that makes it easier to manipulate.

I smiled too, “What if it turns out that I have a way to solve your problem? What will you give me, doctor Oe?” my many.

Lumina gulped her saliva and said, “... Everything, provided I can protect Master Arthur from this disease.”

I looked at those two beautiful eyes seriously, “Then establish a contract with me,” said I who grabbed her face especially those beautiful eyes, which were,

“Lumina Oedelia, be my assistant.”
