Chapter 182 Curing Grandma

<33 Divine cures of Eir> was one of the oldest books in the books I had read in our library.

This book which contained some of the rarest holy medicines that were cures of some of the greatest curses and elixirs was almost two thousand years old.

In the old times, there was a holy kingdom that was destroyed because of a natural disaster like monster, and that place had received the teachings of one of the goddesses of healing.

The book I had in the library was in a perfect condition, as if it wasn't affected by the time and had been present in the library for a long time.

Well…

The runic preservation magic almost stopped the time on every book in the library, but the limitation of those books was that I can't take them out of the library.

Well, those things aside, the cure I had would work, and I was sure of that.

Lucy and my 'blue eyes' agreed on that too, so without hesitation, I opened the glass bottle and dropped some drops of shining yellow, holy-looking liquid in her slightly open mouth.

She was the duchess, a (tier-8) mage, and if not for these facts, she would have been already dead because of this high-grade curse.

It was meant to kill the target within twenty days, but she survived this long because she realized this curse and slowed down the process of her body function quickly.

Her current state was nothing like the gorgeous image the entire empire knew, and this corpse-like state was aching to our hearts.

But this was going to change now.

The drops of medicine dropped on her mouth and slowly slid down her throat.

Just like that, I emptied the whole enchanted glass bottle and waited for the effect to start.

This would be a bright one, but not as much as the one we had previously witnessed.

Looking at the three of them behind me, I nodded and stepped back, and the effect kicked in sooner than I expected.

A bright yellow light started coming out from her corpse-like body and the changes began.

First, a dark aura started surfacing from her dead corpse and the bright light started devouring the black aura.

This sticky black aura seemed evil at the same time, angry.

Different from the demonic aura I knew, this one was just evil, pure, and lonely.

But what it was didn't matter, and the bright light just devoured the aura slowly and sharply.

As if a living being was burning, the light was burning this darkness, and even after resisting for some time, it gave up and the light just consumed the aura entirely.

After that, the light entered the corpse like the body of this middle-aged grandma and the corpse started reviving to its original form.

This surprised the two of her family members, and Rein even started crying as I watched her.

? The strong grandpa was also emotional and, from his heartfelt smile, I knew he was more than just happy.

He was feeling like he had seen a miracle of the higher beings.

I knew he must have tried his best but, evil spirits are a creature of rare origin.

The knowledge I had about them was diverse and I knew every spirit creature was different from others.

Just like the weird ghost I fought in the green forest and the banshee like thing and more I saw in the dark forest, things related to spirits were always weird.

But that was all.

The grandma... holy hell?

Grandma?

She was her grandma?

Maybe it was true that the beauty standards of this world were just built differently.

Not only my family, but even her family members were beautiful... just like her.

The corpse of the grandma laying on the bed was now regaining the vitality and strength it had lost from the curse and thanks to the effect of the potion, the regeneration was fast.

Like really fast.

The blood that was flowing slowly started running again, the energy stabilized, and the refill of her Mana nucleus helped her regain her powers.

She was a high mage, so even in this state; I knew she was conscious and hearing everything.

So, I didn't need to do anything now.

The body gained mass, the lost muscle returned, and the heart also started beating faster and faster.

Though they were barely able to see these things with this blinding yellow light, Zoe and I could see everything clearly.

This was fascinating and in a way... this was my first time using that medicine on an actual living being.

Not that I doubted the working of it one bit.

We had things that can run test simulations on their own, kinda like the AI's back in the lab so, I knew these potions were perfect.

But seeing the effect of the high concentration of Mana medicine or a divine medicine firsthand was a different experience in itself.

The regaining strength of an alluring body, those beautiful silver hair, her fabulous face that looked as young as my actual grandmother.

She was a high mage, someone who had a natural lifespan of thousands of years, and even if she was older in normal terms, just like her grandpa, her grandma was also in her primes.

My mom's mom or my grandmother was someone special in her territory.

And not many people in the capital knew this but, she was some of the rare ones who had received a [Blessing] from a higher being.

And that was the secret of her beauty at that older age.

And this grandma... this lady laying on her bed that had now returned to being a gorgeous person, started regaining consciousness.

That one potion was so potent that it healed her completely and maybe it might have increased her stats a bit too.

Lucy has already refused to let me see her status window, saying the last one was enough for today, so I couldn't see what one of the strongest mages looked like on the screen.

Well, I was also happy seeing her right now.

Even more so while seeing Rein and her cute face while she looked at my back.

The light hadn't disappeared yet, but it had quieted down a lot.

And she could now see my back and me looking at the stabilizing body of her grandma.

This third eye was a really useful thing, and I would have to thank her later for me to have this view.

The view of Rein's face with a blush that looked at my back with happiness-filled eyes.

Just looking at that one made my heart rise and from the way her grandpa just smiled, even while seeing that reaction, I knew he knew I was looking.

That special reaction of hers was just for a moment and it disappeared quickly in the time my eyes fell on her grandpa.

It was something attractive, and I wanted more, but, well, it is what it is.

I will remember that one forever, so there was no need to worry about that.

I knew she had no idea she was blushing pink like that at that moment, and this made it even more special.

But, after that, there was happiness, thanks, and anger in her eyes.

This mood swing was quite sharp, but thankfully, it was nothing like my master.

Her grandmother, that was previously almost a corpse, was now back to her original, healthy form, and the healing was almost done.

My work was finished anyway, so that was it.

Walking back to them, I tried to look at them but before that... she hugged me.

…w-what?
