Adopting Disaster-Chapter 116.1

Blue Rose (6)

The way to eliminate the demon seed inside Dolores' body.

The answer was closer than they thought.

"I happened to be studying golems, and I found the answer when I applied it to them since they had similar points."

Kaitlyn explained politely to Reed and Dolores.

"Golem, you mean..."

"The guardian giant of the Kalton Mountains. According to records, it was a golem that used magic... I believe the tower master of Wallin would know about it since they went together."

"Ah, I remember now."

Dolores nodded her head.

Kaitlyn explained the overall outline.

"If it's a golem, isn't it a similar type to Homunculus? If it could have been transplanted into a Homunculus earlier, wouldn't we have done it?"

"This golem is a bit different. If Homunculus is a creature created by imitating humans, this golem is a creature made to approach humans."

"What's the difference?"

"Unlike a Homunculus, whose structure is artificially twisted to suit its purpose, a golem has a similar structure to a human body and flows mana. This allows it to implement high-level magic."

Since it was difficult to dissect structurally, research progress was always on the low side.

"We will create a dummy imitating the human body, match the amount of mana with the tower master of Wallin, and then overload the mana flow in an instant to create the same conditions as the tower master of Wallin. Then, there will be a 10-second gap. That's when we'll transplant the demon seed."

"Then the demon seed will..."

"According to the records of the Blue Rose, if you remove all the mana, it will naturally disappear. If it doesn't disappear naturally, we plan to burn it, so don't worry."

The source of fire will be gone.

It meant that it would end without losing anyone.

Strength returned to Dolores' hands.

"And after this procedure, you'll need to rest for about a week. Let's do the first check after three days, and then schedule the second check for a week later. If everything goes smoothly, it'll be a success. Lastly, the failure rate of this process is..."

"Let's not think about it."

Dolores interrupted Kaitlyn's words with a smile.

Kaitlyn nodded her head and brushed off the subject.

"Anyway, if successful, we can remove the demon seed in the heart."

"Can we start right away?"

"Yes."

"Then there's no time to waste."

"I'll get ready right away. Please follow me."

Kaitlyn closed the file and stood up from her seat.

Reed helped Dolores stand up.

He didn't let go of her hand.

They walked together as far as they could, standing in front of the operating room Kaitlyn had prepared.

Dolores looked up at Reed.

Hope flickered in her blue eyes.

"I'm going through a big ordeal now, so please give me some encouragement."

Dolores said, and Reed replied.

"No."

"Why?"

"That way, you'll have some regrets."

"What's that about?"

Dolores laughed.

But it was as Reed had said.

Hearing those words gave her more strength.

"I'll be back..."

Dolores spoke with a more relaxed face.

Reed also greeted her with a relaxed face.

"Come back."

She let go of his hand and walked away.

Reed watched her staggering figure as she walked.

He stood still until her long blue hair disappeared.

"Ugh..."

As soon as she disappeared, Reed's body swayed. 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶

He nearly collapsed on the floor, but someone caught him, allowing him to stand on both legs.

"Master, are you alright?"

It was Phoebe.

She must have been there for some time, rushing to the emergency.

"Thank you, Phoebe."

"Shall I call the healers?"

"It's fine. I just need some rest."

It was the side effect of the medicine Kaitlyn gave him.

It was said that even taking one pill would make him sleep like a corpse until the next day, but he had taken ten pills and slept lightly while researching, so it wasn't strange for him to faint now.

"I'm sorry, Phoebe. I'll rest just for today. Just one day... one day..."

Reed closed his eyes.

He fell into a deep sleep.

Phoebe carefully held Reed's body.

"Master, you protected your precious person."

Phoebe hugged Reed with a comforting smile.

She whispered softly into Reed's ear, unnoticed by anyone.

"You've worked hard."

Phoebe quietly walked down the hallway towards the bedroom.

"It's been three months."

Helios, the armor master, was the first to mention it at the tower master meeting.

The maximum convenience he could give.

Believing that everything had been resolved within that time, he asked Reed a question.

"What will you do with Dolores Jade's disposition?"

Reed answered the question.

"She deeply regrets her sins and sincerely apologizes. Considering everything she has done so far, I have decided to forgive her."

It was Reed's generous decision, but no one was surprised.

No matter how slow the information was, three months was enough time to notice their relationship.

As the decision was made, Wallin's acting tower master, Ludis, asked.

"That's a generous decision. So can we take her back to Wallin's Tower now?"

A face that seemed to have been waiting all this time.

However, Reed shattered Ludis's expectations.

"If she returns, she will probably return to her position as the tower master."

"What are you talking about? Are you in your right mind to reinstate that demon woman!?"

"Watch your words, acting tower master of Wallin."

Reed laid down a warning.

It was the first time Reed had openly bared his teeth after being cautious all this time.

"From now on, if you treat Dolores Jade as a demon and mock her, you will be tried here for insulting your current tower master. You do know that treating her as a demon is a serious crime and punishable by death, right?"

"Isn't that woman the eldest daughter of the Baldschmidt family? Of course, she's a demon..."

"I asked you to present evidence that Dolores Jade harmed your tower, but what did you do?"

Ludis couldn't open his mouth easily.

Not even a speck of dust.

He searched everywhere for that speck of dust, but Dolores was a very thorough woman.

He couldn't find any fault to blame her and spent all three months.

"So, can the tower master of Silence prove that Dolores is not a demon?"

"Yes."

Reed nodded his head without a moment's hesitation.

"I will prove her identity by putting my tower master position and everything else on the line."

A bold move he hadn't thrown until now.

He had always been cautious when he knew Dolores was a demon.

"That means you guarantee it."

"Are you saying Dolores isn't a demon?"

"Dolores Jade is not a demon. Because we removed the demon seed that was parasitizing her body."

The surgery developed by Kaitlyn was successfully completed.

Reed explained the entire process to them.

The transplant technique received from Principal Escoleia, which was adapted to transfer the demon seed through a golem.

It was an amazing feat.

At first glance, it seemed like they had just created something to replace a human, but the role of that replacement was significant.

"If it becomes a human with the same conditions... can the golem follow Dolores' talent?"

"It can mimic it very briefly. Although it won't be able to use practical magic, it can create the same conditions as Dolores for a very short time."
