Although feeling somewhat puzzled, it wasn’t the best time to delve into the principles of magical drugs.
On one hand, she needed to quickly cure these poisoned young girls of different races, rush to meet up with Menna, and on the other hand, what the Ghost Thief Group captives said was indeed correct. The phenomenon of mana rampaging in this winged girl’s body was becoming increasingly severe. If even the mana core completely lost control, then she would be done for.
All winged people are born with more or less mana, but they don’t have mana cores. Instead, they have two wings to store and coordinate the internal mana circulation, similar to the function of the heart with blood.
Winged people’s wings are usually very tough, serving as a protective and evolutionary adaptation.
Other creatures with mana operate similarly. Once this crucial position is damaged, it is extremely difficult to heal.
Although even in the most serious situation, Violet believed she could handle it, her healing abilities couldn’t be measured by conventional means.
After all, even in this world, high-level clerics or healers could hardly do something like cutting off someone’s wings and then immediately making them grow back the same. Resurrection magic only existed in certain legendary miracles.
After a moment of contemplation, the priestess extended her slender and delicate jade finger again, lightly touching the tightly pursed lips of the young girl with green feathers, passing the golden rain into her body.
Violet didn’t have experience in treating the symptom of “Mana Rampage,” as such a concept had never appeared in the game. But ultimately, if described in gaming terms, it should be some kind of abnormal status related to MP.
For now, she would try using magic to dispel abnormal effects. If that didn’t work, she would have to think of another solution.
Soon, a faint golden light began to radiate from the surface of the girl’s skin. Violet waited for about ten seconds before using 【Information Detection】 again to check the condition of the patient whose complexion had slightly improved.
Hmm...
The development was more or less as expected. After all, 【Heavenly Shower of Sweetness】 was a 7th-tier Holy Light magic. Although it couldn’t absolutely clear any abnormal status, it could indeed solve this degree of mana rampage.
In essence, it was indeed a negative effect.
So, there shouldn’t be any problem now. It went quite smoothly.
The symptoms of mana rampage had been effectively suppressed. All that was needed now was for her body to fully absorb the effects of the 【Heavenly Shower of Sweetness】 and then rest for a while. She should be able to recover to her original state.

Although it was possible to speed up the girl’s recovery, it wasn’t necessary. This degree was most suitable for the current situation.
After standing up, Violet explained the situation to Mr. Side-Swept Bangs in a more understandable way and asked him to stay for observation. Then, she moved to the next unconscious young girl of a different race.
This one had strange long hair that was a mixture of blue and white, with some fish-scale-like marks on her body, and tears in the corners of her eyes. Violet had seen individuals with similar features among the nonhuman girls she encountered in the cave with Walter and others before.
This was a widely distributed race in the world, the Merfolk.
They were a peculiar intelligent race that could live both in water and on land. Their appearance on land was similar to humans, but when in water, their legs would turn into fish tails, and the scales on their bodies would become denser, which was quite interesting.
The individual with tear-shaped patterns at the corners of her eyes was probably called the Clear Tear clan, if she remembered correctly. They were a leading clan among the Merfolk, similar to the Moon Shadow clan among the werewolves. These tear marks seemed to be symbols used by the Clear Tear clan to distinguish their bloodline status.
This young Clear Tear seemed to be quite young. Judging from her appearance, she looked similar to a human girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. Moreover, she had three pairs of tear marks under her eyes. Although Violet didn’t know much about it, she could understand that her status within the clan was definitely not simple.
After all, among the nonhumans she had seen before, although there were also Clear Tear clan girls, they only had one pair of tear marks each.
The Ghost Thief Group really dared to steal anything, huh.
Inwardly cursing, Violet activated 【Information Detection】 once again.
Hmm, it’s a similar situation as well. Mana has completely gone out of control and is rampaging.
Following the skill’s guidance, the priestess hesitated for a moment, then lifted the thin fabric and placed her hand on the smooth and flat abdomen of the young Clear Tear girl, applying gentle pressure.
Most magical creatures with mana will give birth to something like a mana core, and the Merfolk are no exception. However, the mana core of their race is not typically located in important areas like the brain or heart, but rather in the abdomen or in the organ where a fetus would develop.
This phenomenon seems to be related to some of the Merfolk’s special traits. Leaving that aside, their mana cores are smoother, brighter, and more round due to this, referred to as Mermaid Pearls. Among them, those of the Clear Tear clan are considered the finest, and they even emit a bright light in the dark on their own, making them a highly valuable illegal smuggled item.
The name “Clear Tear” comes from this.
The situation of this Clear Tear girl is much more severe than that of the winged girl just now. Her Mermaid Pearl has completely shattered due to the significant mana rampage. It seems that the more mana an individual possesses, the faster it deteriorates under the influence of such magic drugs.
In this case, it’s probably impossible to salvage it with just 【Heavenly Shower of Sweetness】 to remove the abnormal status.
With the situation being urgent, there’s no choice but to take some risks.
The palm of Violet’s hand placed on the Clear Tear girl’s abdomen began to emit a faint golden light. The light gradually flowed into her abdomen like silk, and through the precise manipulation of the priestess, the fragmented remains of the Mermaid Pearl were slowly gathered and reassembled.
The power of the soul represented by SP is truly incredible. The more she explores, the more impressed Violet becomes. Like now, she can actually repair the Mermaid Pearl from a distance, acting as a kind of adhesive, which is truly unimaginable.
At the same time, the priestess’s other hand also followed suit, extending toward the lips of the Clear Tear girl, delivering the 【Heavenly Shower of Sweetness】 created by the skill, calming the raging mana within her body.
Reassembling the Mermaid Pearl that had not yet left the body but was already shattered would probably shock anyone knowledgeable who saw it, to the point where their eyeballs might pop out. Due to the unique nature of the Merfolk’s bodies, this task is almost as difficult as performing a far-fetched operation like opening the skull directly to remove a tumor from the brain and then seamlessly stitching it back up.
If it weren’t for Violet taking over, this girl would almost certainly be beyond saving, and even if she miraculously survived, it wouldn’t be long before she perished.
After about a minute of meticulous reassembly, the fragments floating in the abdomen of the Clear Tear girl finally returned to their original spherical pearl shape, emitting stable mana.
The priestess, who had been monitoring the situation with her detection skill, withdrew her hand from the girl’s smooth abdomen, exhaled a sigh of relief, wiped away the nonexistent sweat from her forehead, and stared at the girl’s gradually calm sleeping face. After pondering for a moment, she furrowed her brow instead.
“This won’t do. It took so long just to treat two of them. If I have to deal with over three hundred, won’t it drag on until dawn?
After all, treatment is only secondary. Her main goal is to pursue the remnants of the Ghost Thief Group carrying the Mana Source. Leaving Menna alone there, Violet still felt uneasy.
Tiyelu had reminded her of the strong danger of the Mana Source, and the mention of another disaster by Menna also made the priestess unable to ignore it.
“.........”
The black-haired girl slowly stood up but didn’t immediately move to treat the next patient. Instead, she turned to Mr. Side-Swept Bangs and the dozen or so Ghost Thief Group captives who had been knocked unconscious and bound tightly with special ropes.
“You take them out first. We might have to use some extreme methods here... Oh, and don’t tell anyone temporarily about me helping with the treatment inside.”
“?”
