Chapter 914 Planning Ahead Part 2

’The first days are bound to be intense.’ Solus said. ’There is too much catch up to do. Things should get easier over time.’

During the following morning, Lith didn’t get a second of rest as well. Between his family and his communication amulet ringing non-stop, he had barely the time to breathe.

News of his leave had spread out and his old friends and Professors were contacting him to congratulate or simply to get back in touch with him. The silver lining of the situation was that while everyone else kept Lith busy, Kamila managed to have a private conversation with Elina, ensuring her help with the treatment. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

Lith had treated pregnant women in the past, but only curing minor diseases that required tier three magic or lower. Using Body Sculpting on an unborn child was a rare and difficult procedure.

On top of that, the Strangler disease’s progression was faster than any medical textbook reported. Even if Invigoration was a peerless diagnostic tool, Lith needed a lot of time to understand what the best approach was.

Luckily for him, Rena would take a nap after every meal so that he could examine her while Elina and Kamila kept Senton busy.

Even though the baby was less than nine months, his condition was already worse than Tista’s when Lith had first diagnosed her with the Strangler. The small lungs were properly developed but already more than half-filled with black matter.

Once outside the placenta, the baby wouldn’t be able to breathe on his own, let alone survive even the simplest procedure. To make matters much worse, Lith had no idea where to start and even Solus had no solution to offer him.

The procedure he had devised for Tista was unsuited for a creature so small, to the point that Lith couldn’t even alleviate the symptoms of the Strangler.

’Fuck me sideways, this is much, much worse than Xedros and Tista combined.’ Lith thought.

’If I expel the impurities, I’ll contaminate the amniotic fluid and endanger the lives of the healthy kids. I could destroy the impurities as soon as they come out, but I don’t know how Rena and her children will react to darkness magic.

’No matter how much I focus to control it, darkness is still a destructive force that puts a strain on the patient. If it triggers labor, I risk killing all four of them. I was hoping to use Body Sculpting to help me find a proper treatment but that’s impossible as well.’

Treating a single human life force was already complicated, four at once was the stuff nightmares were made of. Rena’s life force was closely entwined with that of her babies as if they were four stringed instruments that shared their cords.

Any alteration on the life force of the ill child would have repercussions on that of the mother which in turn would affect the other babies.

If with Xedros Lith had to deal with twin suns, in Rena’s case Lith had to unravel a tapestry and then weave it again without ever altering the image depicted.

To add insult to injury, this time his ability to hear a life force’s melody was a handicap because there were four distinct melodies playing at the same time. The ill child’s melody was barely audible due to it being much weaker than that of his mother and siblings.

’Great. To hear his melody, I have to purposely weaken Rena’s, but that could lead to labor. Otherwise I can enhance the child’s life force, who might not withstand the strain and die on the spot. Time to ask for the opinion of an expert.’ Lith thought.
