The Author's POV

Chapter 578

"It's as I thought."

Melissa stood up and walked in my direction.

When I saw her figure walk up to me, I backed up. I was a little apprehensive about her.

Recalling the earlier scenes that I wished to forget, I raised both hands and hugged my body.

"What do you want?"

"What's with that look? You think I'm going to assault you or something?"

"Yes."

I nodded my head.

"Yes."

I repeated to make sure she understood.

"Well, I'm not, so chill out."

Melissa rolled her eyes.

Taking out a chair, she sat close to me and showed me the device she used to test my blood.

Pointing toward a certain section, she spoke.

"Your blood seems to be contaminated by something extremely concentrated and powerful. It's probably why your mana is sealed."

Tilting the device in her hand, Melissa had a thoughtful look on her face. Taking off her glasses, Melissa switched them for another pair and tapped on their side.

There was a small red light that shot from the middle of the glasses and headed for the device in her hand.

Carefully examining the device in her hand, her face changed after a while.

"I see…"

She softly muttered as she put away the device and looked at me.

"…By chance, did you experience some sort of paralysis effect when you first appeared here?"

"Eh?"

Surprised, I looked at Melissa.

"How did you know?"

"It's as I suspected."

Instead of answering me, Melissa stood up from her seat and turned to look at Kevin.

"Remember what I mentioned to you before?"

"…Yeah."

Kevin nodded as he turned to look at me.

His brows furrowed tightly.

"Is it the same plants that you mentioned?"

"Sort of."

Taking two different plant samples out of her dimensional space, Melissa nodded.

"There seem to be other compounds mixed in his bloodstream, but in general, the two main ingredients are indeed the ones that I previously discovered."

"Can you heal him?"

Kevin asked.

As she stared at the device in her hand, Melissa shook her head.

"No, not yet. I'll need some time in order to figure out how to remove the effect of the mixture from his blood."

"What?"

As I alternated between Kevin and Melissa, I didn't quite understand what they were trying to do. However, seeing their serious faces, I knew they were trying to help me.
