Chapter 144 My Driving Force Will Always Be Gain



-----

If I aggressively take out the soot, it will only kill her. I have already analyzed it and it will end up tearing her apart from the inside out, this is because the soot has stuck to her flesh, the interior of her blood vessels, even her heart and her lungs, before I can even take it out, she would be dying due to bleeding and I wouldn\'t be able to heal so many internal injuries like this. My healing has limits and I cannot do everything in the world after all. I could easily take it out by putting my hand over her mouth and using my demon eye to channel my demon energy, and then vacuum all the demon energy with the soot, but as I said, that will only tear her apart from the inside out.

There needs to be other procedure that doesn\'t straight out kill her in the process, and I believe it might lay within the abilities of other people as well. Although I will also do what I can to cooperate and get the most share out of this, this family seems rich, and I\'ve begun to realize the benefits of healing rich people, lots of money.

But for that I need competent priests, Jack doesn\'t know a thing, and he seems inexperienced, also his spirit is not made for healing. Seth is knocked out of the fight, he\'s still conscious but barely able to articulate words due to exhaustion. Ellergest mana is going down quickly, he seems to have used it a lot for other people today, but he might be able to help. And lastly, Elisabeth\'s experience is near null, but she is said to have incredible talent. Also, she seems to have Heaven Magic, the opposite of Demon Magic and what could potentially be the key to heal this woman.

Therefore, Elisabeth and Ellergest will do, and even then, this entire thing might be just a bet, with the possibility of this woman still dying at the end… However, we have to do what we can as this is the job I am going to be paid for. I don\'t really feel any attachment to the life of this woman, nor this kid, and I wouldn\'t care about them if it wasn\'t because I am going to get paid. I only care about my family. I might seem like a good person because that\'s what is most beneficial in this society, but I don\'t consider myself someone willing to sacrifice himself for others. And my driving force is gain.

Nonetheless, I feel like it is my duty, as someone as great as I, to show these damned demons that their stupid blood cannot work as a good poison, and therefore, I will heal this woman as best as I can- It is totally not because I care. I just hate Lucifer and his demons, they\'re detestable. I hate how they use their blood as poison, it seems ridiculous but it works for some reason… How frustrating.

"Hmm… What she has inside of her is not true poison, it is not a chemical, nor some sort of extraction from plants…" I said. "This poison is demon blood." I quickly decided to reveal the truth to the people around me, so they would be able to better understand the situation.

"Demon blood?! So she was given demon blood every day, or perhaps weekly…!" Said Ellergest. "Demon meat is consumed widely as a cheap food, if cooked well, it shouldn\'t be poisonous, so she was given raw demon blood, most likely… It still has traces of demon energy when raw, the same for meat, so it is often considered poisonous without being cooked…" Ellergest knew a lot about demons.

"D-Demon blood? But my mother has only been eating normal food, stew, meat, and a cup of wine… Although she stopped drinking wine half a month ago…" Said Carl.

"I see… They most likely put a bit of blood in her wine every day she drank." I said. "Wine\'s flavor is very strong, so it\'s hard to tell when it has other substances on it…"

"T-That can\'t be… I-I\'ve… been bringing her wine for all these days…" Cried Carl. "A-Am I in fault for my mother\'s sickness?!"

"No, calm down…" I said. "Who gave you this wine?"

"T-The maids… in the kitchen, I even saw them pouring the wine…" Said the boy. "I-It can\'t be that through the wine, right? Maybe the food? But the food was also made by the maids…"

"We\'ll interrogate all of them. Jack, be useful for once and go catch them with your chains. If they had done something like poisoning the food of a noble, it is a grave crime!" Said Ellergest. "Quickly!"

"A-Ah, understood!" Said Jack, darting outside of the room as we quickly heard the screams of the maids around the house, he began catching them very easily.

"However, maids alone… why would they want to poison a noble? They\'re most likely working for another person, either someone from outside… Or someone from here." I said, looking at Carl as he suddenly swallowed saliva.

"Carl, has your mother been in any fight with your aunts? The first concubine and the wife of your father?" I asked.

"…"

Carl suddenly fell silent, as he began to think.

"I-I need to think about it…"

"Very well, sorry for bothering you but this is grave…" I sighed. "Elisabeth, come here."

"E-Eh?"

Elisabeth walked to my side and she tilted her head in confusion.

"W-What can I do to help?" She wondered.

"Summon your spirit, I want to see what it is and how it can help." I said.

Elisabeth looked back at Ellergest, as the old man nodded silently.

"Okay then…! Come out, Heavenly Seraphin!" Said Elisabeth.

FLAASH!

Suddenly, a bright holy light came out of her chest, slowly materializing into a small, baby-sized Spirit that also resembled a small young child, with feathery wings behind his back, wearing a white toga, and holding a small arrow and bow.

Just as I thought, her spirit is… an angel!
