The rapidly spinning Sun and Moon Eyes came to a stop.
Everything before Reilo once again returned to its hazy, grotesque state beneath the ominous moonlight.
The long-haired woman had her right hand broken, but the arm that should have been snapped was now twisting like a boneless snake, growing longer and shorter by turns. Her fingers curled, and smoke rose from her nails. She had clearly been burned by the radiation-laden blood flowing through Reilo's projected body, and had sustained real injuries.
"What are you, exactly?"
The wound where her arm had been torn open healed at an incredible speed. Reilo slowly rose from where he had been sitting cross-legged.
Since she could be injured, she could be collected as a specimen. These grotesque things were different from those that had occasionally spread to the Grand Natural Sciences Academy in the past. He would try to gather some information before the scholar from Corleon's Biological Specimen Laboratory woke up.
Should he capture a specimen himself and dissect it for study first?
Just as Reilo was about to act, the unconscious mystic before him let out a pained groan, showing signs of waking.
Reilo hesitated and stopped.
At the same time,
the white-clad woman, her face hidden by long black hair, let out another strange, cackling laugh.
As Reilo watched with a frown, her abdomen visibly swelled like a balloon. Her body seemed to grow lighter along with it, and her feet gradually lifted off the ground until she was floating.
Squinting slightly, Reilo changed the Nutrient Solution drip bottle for the mystic. Following his plan, he used Superbody Transformation to cover his body with solidified Mental Power, then injected it into the man's body to perform microsurgery on his mind and soul, all while observing the strange woman's changes.
