NOVPUBAs much as Luna wanted to enjoy more head pats and quality time with her baby master, an urgent matter still had to be resolved immediately.
She glanced to the side. Lynn and Yusagi understood what she meant and took a step back.
"Master, it’s about Dory..." Luna wanted to report something but had not yet resolved her courage to report the tragedy.
"Mm, I can hear her prayers, and Miko has told me everything. Where is Dory now?" Elysia replied calmly, but her eyes showed a hint of fury and sadness. She never liked tragedy, but one of her followers had to experience one kind of hell for three years.
Regardless, Dory had to receive some advanced medical treatment and mental rehabilitation more than anything else.
Luna nodded in understanding. She took a few steps back and opened her storage pouch.
All of the rescued mermaids were there, including Dory. They were meditating in tranquility while circulating their spiritual energy within their bodies that had long been sealed by evil methods.
Dory was the only one who looked so anxious. She could only sit and wait for Luna to arrive while clasping her hands and chanting many prayers. She begged for forgiveness from her Goddess endlessly.
"We’ve arrived, Dory." Luna sent a voice transmission close to Dory’s ear.
Dory flinched a little, then looked up. Realizing they had arrived at their destination, she rushed out of that storage pouch realm.
However, her fishtail was still missing, and she couldn’t transform her lower half with a pair of legs. Thus, she fell to the ground with a thud.
Elysium members and Miko’s core disciples either covered their mouths in shock or looked aside as they felt it was too much for them. They already knew about a tragedy that occurred with their mermaid friend. Still, it was different to witness it with their own eyes.
The snow and ice coldness spread across Dory’s skin, but she could endure it just fine. She looked up at her master and her master’s avatar with teary eyes.
Gratitude and relief to meet her master again soon enveloped her heart. She finally returned, and her master was safe. However, that did not reduce the guilt in her heart and self-blame for her sins and failures.
She kowtowed and opened her mouth, heavy and stuttering but still trying to get something out of her mouth. "M- My Goddess... P, please forgive me for all my sins..."
"It’s not your sins. Raise your head." Elysia replied in a tender tone, and Dory looked at her.
"..." Miko crouched down so Dory could look at Goddess Elysia at eye level.
"I’ve heard your prayers. You don’t need to apologize anymore. The sinners shall be punished when the time comes. Everything will be fine from now on. Welcome back, Dory." Elysia gently wiped Dory’s tears.
"Mm!" Dory just nodded, unable to contain her emotions and tears.
All the things weighing on her mind were soon lifted by her master’s gentle, reassuring words. Her master’s touch was like a warmth and relief that soothed her soul.
Her master was as tiny and tender as a baby, but the impact on her spiritual health was tremendous. She finally received the calm and serenity of her master’s comfort and reassurance.
Elysia then looked at Dory’s lower half. Dory’s beautiful fishtail was missing, resembling a lamia without a tail tip.
Apart from that, Dory also suffered from several evil substances that contaminated her mermaid’s special constitution. Dory’s spiritual flows were also chaotic despite the relief. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
"Luna, please bring Dory to the treatment room. Ella, Eve, Raf-chan, and Remi-chan... please follow us. We need to help Dory from her predicament." Elysia gave her instructions, then pulled her avatar’s sleeve.
"Affirmative." Luna carefully carried Dory.
Afterward, Miko led everyone to the treatment room in the backyard.
"Wait here." Zera extended her hand to the side when the ones not mentioned by Elysia tried to follow. She then followed the healer group.
---
Dory was laid on the medical table, and four healer assistants stood on each side of Dory.
Miko helped put the mask on her mama and returned to the treatment room. She put her mama close to Dory’s cut-off fishtail and picked a preserved pink fishtail on the table.
"It’s not as simple as reconnecting the fishtail. We will perform healing and restoration techniques by reviving the cells of this fishtail, then purifying it before reconnecting it." Elysia provided some preliminary explanations.
The four healer assistants nodded in understanding. They felt excited and honored to get direct guidance from Goddess Elysia.
"However, our main task is not just that. Before we carry out this operation, we need to purify our patient’s body to its pure state with no foreign substance contamination." Elysia raised her index finger, emphasizing their main task.
"Eh? But I’m sure Dory is well-purified from any drug substance. I gave her a high-tier healing potion, and she has been soaking in the recovery pool for hours." Luna tried to scan Dory again but couldn’t find any contamination anymore.
"The medical operation is about to begin. You speak again, and I will drag you out." Zera put her hand on Luna’s shoulder.
"..." Luna broke out in cold sweat and nodded several times.
Zera was the most unstable one in the gray zone among the other Goddesses under Elysia’s command. Truthfully, apart from Elysia, everyone was so wary of Zera, but they hid it well.
"That’s not entirely true. There’s more there than what the magic eye can see. She needs at least a Super-tier healing potion and a treatment from an S Rank healer or above." Elysia explained a little to appease Luna’s confusion.
"Dory, are you ready?" Elysia asked.
"Mm. I’m ready anytime, master." Dory answered with full trust in her master and the healers.
"Drink the potion, and close your eyes. You can leave everything to us. Count to one hundred while recalling all the happy memories in your mind to maintain your good mood. It will be over without you realizing it." Elysia patted Dory’s waist.
Miko handed over a small vial of Super-tier healing potion, and Dory gulped it down without hesitation.
Dory closed her eyes and left her defenseless body to her master and the healers.
After that, Elysia gave several instructions to the healers. She made her move occasionally to handle the difficult ones.
The primary healer was Miko, and the four healers assisted with many things. According to Elysia’s expected results, the operation was completed smoothly and perfectly.
