Dorothy had sharp ears and she heard me when I said this, so she looked at me with a worried look and asked, "Whatâs wrong?"
With a faint smile, I said, "Itâs not that I canât deal with it, itâs just that Iâll have to be careful since itâs in a sensitive area."
"Sensitive area?" She asked in a confused voice when she heard this.
With a slight nod, I pointed at her eyes and said, "The corruption energy seemed to have gathered in your eyes, that is why youâre able to see the black swirls."
Dorothy had an even more confused look on her face when she heard this, but there wasnât anything that I could say about this. After all, this was what I had found when I checked her condition.
But the fact that it had gathered in her eyes meant that it was a problem.
After all, the eyes were sensitive compared to the other parts of the body. If there was something that was inside of the eyes that needed to be purified, then it would be harder since there would be a stronger reaction.
It wasnât as if using divine energy to purify corruption energy didnât have any effect on the person that it was used on.
It was a clashing of two different forms of energy, so it was dangerous no matter how one looked at it. It was just that the divine energy was a more subtle form of energy and would be able to heal any damage that it caused.
So for most other parts of the body, it wasnât that hard to heal.
At the same time, if it was an overall purification, then the corruption energy was more spread out and so would the divine energy. It wouldnât cause as much of a burden on the body of the person receiving
But when it was concentrated in a single part and in a sensitive part like this, it would be hard to purify it without causing damage.
That was why it was troublesome.
"Is there a need to purify it?" Dorothy asked after thinking for a long time.
"Well, it doesnât seem like thereâs a large concentration of it and it even seems like youâre in control of it...Iâm not certain what will happen, but I donât think that itâs absolutely necessary for us to purify you right now." This was my honest opinion since I really didnât know anything else about this.
It would do more harm than help to purify her when the corruption energy was calm like this.
It was like how a benign tumour worked...provoking it might have unexpected results that wouldnât exactly be good...
After thinking about it, Dorothy said, "Well, it seems like I can do some good with this ability, so I want to keep it for now."
I was surprised to hear her say this.
After all, this didnât seem like a thing that a young girl like her would say.
It didnât even seem like she was old enough to fully understand what she was saying...
But I knew that she did understand since I had already seen how intelligent she was.
As such, I just gave a simple nod and patted her on the shoulder before saying, "Do you want to come with us? I know that you have no one else to be with right now and it would be good for me to watch over you if anything happens."
Dorothy didnât answer right away, but eventually she gave a nod.
It was hard to imagine what she was going through at this moment, but I could see that she was quite the strong girl that she was able to keep it together after all of this. It was clear that this had been a big trauma for her, but she was able to keep it together in the end.
It really was admirable how she was able to keep it together like this.
I comforted her a bit longer before sending her away with the royal guards.
Since we would be taking care of her, I was planning to treat her like one of my own children.
The royal guards also felt admiration for Dorothy after seeing the way that she reacted to this.
Once she was gone, I couldnât help knitting my brows.
"What is it?" Klein asked when he saw me like this.
I didnât answer right away as I continued looking in the direction that Dorothy had gone off in.
After a while, I finally said, "Itâs strange how there was some kind of mutation that happened with her."
"Mutation?" Klein couldnât help asking in a confused voice.
With a slow nod, I said, "I didnât want to say it in front of her since I didnât want to scare her, but thereâs something strange about the corruption energy inside of her."
Klein didnât ask anything, but the look on his face was enough to show his curiosity.
I didnât say anything either until I finally explained, "It seems like itâs combined with her body in some way. That was why I said that it would be troublesome to deal with the corruption energy inside of her."
"Wasnât it because of the position of the corruption energy?"
"Thatâs part of it, but the truth is that itâs combined with her. I donât know whatâs so special about her, but she certainly is different from the others that were affected by the corruption energy."
"Then thereâs a chance that it will take control of her?" Klein asked in a wary voice.
I didnât answer right away, but eventually I gave a nod as I said, "Itâs a possibility."
Then after a pause, I added, "But we canât say that this is certain and I donât plan on judging someone for something that they havenât done yet."
After saying this, I turned to give Klein a specific look.
He gave a nod in response, but there was still a wary look in his eyes.
I didnât say anything else as I gave a sigh and walked away.
