"Yes."
Fine, gentle white light slowly rose from his hand.
The Deep-Sea Behemoth's body abruptly tensed, but as soon as the white light touched him, his densely packed, dried and cracked tentacles began to regain their vitality. Under his gaze, the black threads of the curse crawling over his body visibly receded like an ebbing tide.
Confusion appeared in his enormous blood-red eye.
But clearly.
He knew that the creature with the forked body before him really was suppressing the curse inside him and bore him no ill will.
Little by little.
The white light gradually spread over most of his body, and much of the cracking caused by the curse's turmoil subsided.
Lynn adjusted the Monocle and said:
"The curse is suppressed for now, though a great deal of pollution still remains inside you. But don't worry. I can slowly help you recover. So, can we talk now?"
His taut tentacles and flesh finally began to relax.
Clearly.
Everything Lynn had just done had dispelled most of his hostility.
His enormous blood-red eye turned, watching the tiny human standing on his tentacle. A cry rumbled out of his body like the call of a deep-sea whale, piercing and distant, but without hostility or malice.
A system notification instantly rang in Lynn's ears.
