Chapter 218: S1-169: Promise

~Babil, 6115 a.d. Day 171~

Valentine sat near the bag she was carrying, still smiling to herself in satisfaction. Lied, who was only an image in Valentine's mind, started asking questions, "Hey, when were you able to just take over my body like that? Where's Hilda? What did you just do?"

Valentine reacted to the last question.

"Well, I reversed the flow of mana in this body," Valentine explained, patting her chest. "By forcing all the existing mana back into the Maticulo, your body would subconsciously turn the property of the mana into healing, allowing me to heal this body completely by itself without needing to cast a spell!"

After seeing Lied's confused expression, she let out a sigh and gave up on trying to explain the situation to Lied.

"I don't really care about that right now," Lied told her. "I want to know when, why and how you took over my body."

"Human, you have too many questions," Valentine grumbled, still seated on the ground.
