Chapter 88: No clue!

When the two women disappeared from their vision, Grizelle opened her eyes.

She felt something running at her with some crazy speed and was alert. However, she soon became calm when she noticed that it was just Jarina.

However, the content of the message that Jarina brought here piqued Grizelle's interest.

'That kid's heating up?'

After all, it was just random and out of nowhere that no one would believe it.

Even Grizelle, who could be considered the fire itself, was having a hard time believing it.

'Is it because of what he did earlier?'

Grizelle thought that it was because of what Desire did earlier.

She didn't really know what Desire did, but she just felt that it was something connected to mana.

After all, that was what Desire told her.

However, Grizelle just couldn't be sure about it.

After all, there's no way something like that would happen to a person.

Letting out some mana in the air would affect no one at all. After all, even the one who was interrupted, Grizelle, wasn't affected.

That was why Grizelle was interested in this.

Just what could have happened for Desire to end up in that kind of situation?

"Interesting." Grizelle said as she picked herself up.

She then looked at Gladior, who was guarding the place by staring at the sky.

It seems what happened earlier was still embedded in his mind.

However, he soon came to when he heard Grizelle's voice.

"Gladior, follow me!" 

When Gladior looked over to see Grizelle, she couldn't be seen as she quickly followed the two women.

And without hesitation, Gladior followed right after Grizelle.

And when the two people disappeared in this place, another one appeared.

However, that too soon disappeared as that person followed right after the two.

Jarina and Teresa were running together as they dodged trees after trees.

Well, it wasn't really running as Teresa was literally being dragged by Jarina.

However, it seems Teresa didn't care about that as she spoke.

"What happened?!" Teresa's voice was calm and normal.

She was abruptly dragged by Jarina here, but she didn't even get angry.

That was because she could see the gravity of the situation just from how Jarina was acting.

"Desire's body is acting strange! He started getting hot all of a sudden!"

Jarina shouted out loud without looking at Teresa.

And when Teresa was about to ask another question, Jarina spoke once more.

"We're here!"

Jarina quickly let go of Teresa's hand as the trees around them somehow magically dispersed.

Well, they were magically destroyed when Jarina shouted out loud.

"Water Blade!"

The magic that she let out cut all of the trees near them, but all those trees and trunks didn't fall to the ground.

Instead, they just turned into specks of dust as the wind washed them away in the vast sky.

Right after she finished doing that, she quickly looked for Teresa to instruct her to look at Desire.

However, she couldn't as Teresa was already running towards the House of Water that she made with her magic.

Surprisingly, the water magic didn't even make a noise when Teresa entered it.

Hell, Teresa wasn't even wet by it when she touched the water!

Anyway, Teresa was able to reach Desire, who was lying on the ground.

She quickly kneeled as she moved her hands as quickly as possible.

After all, she had to see for herself was Jarina was talking about.

"Hmm. His body is indeed...hot." Teresa said as she tried to guess what the reason was.

However, no matter how much Teresa tried thinking about it, no answer came to her mind.

After all, ever since Desire was with them, Desire has not ever been sick!

He didn't get any headaches, and he didn't get any fevers. No sickness at all was recorded ever since Desire was with them.

That was why Teresa didn't have something to work on in this case.

'It's either poison...'

Teresa thought as this was the only thing that seems reasonable in this situation.

Desire may have been poisoned in this Muscula's nest somewhere when he was climbing the mountain.

He may have even been poisoned by something that he ate.

After all, this was still a dangerous place, even if it is only full of rank two monsters.

'...or something happened to him while he was at that Dungeon.'

And the next thing that Teresa thought of was that something happened to Desire while he was inside the Dungeon.

The latter part is something much more reasonable than the first one.

After all, anything could happen in the Dungeon.

However, the true problem lies in that Teresa didn't know anything about the symptoms that Desire has shown so far.

'He was fine, and he suddenly started heating up...'

No matter how much Teresa thought, there was no poison that works like this.

There was also no monster that could give symptoms like this that one could meet in a Dungeon.

And that was when Teresa became lost in this case.

She then stood up and looked for Jarina, but she didn't have to look for her for long.

Jarina was just right by her side, after all.

"I don't know what's happening to him. It is best that we take him back to the village and wait for more signs that we could take."

Teresa spoke those words while shaking her head.

Teresa's words were something that should be despaired over, but Jarina was a decisive woman, after all.

She didn't become sad or sulk about it. She just nodded her head as she spoke her agreement.

"Alright! We'll place Desire on the village down below!"

Jarina then moved as she grabbed Desire as carefully as possible.

She didn't want to add any trauma to Desire's body now that he was in a condition like this.

"Haa. Haaa." Desire's breathing was still rough, and his whole body was beet red.

Jarina just stole a glance at Desire as she went down the mountain.

Of course, Teresa followed right behind.
