According to Morris's arrangements, Cecilia needed to maintain a meditative state within the water, allowing the Sacred Spring's power to gradually penetrate her mana circulation and suppress the unstable energy surrounding the curse.
Victor, meanwhile, would perform the next stage of purification when her internal mana was at its most stable.
"All right." Victor stopped beside the pool. "Go on in."
Cecilia glanced at the water before turning back toward him.
"Are you planning to stand there the entire time?"
"What else am I supposed to do?"
Victor pretended to consider the question.
"Haven't we already been through far more dangerous situations together?"
"Victor!"
"All right, all right."
Seeing that Cecilia was about to lose her temper, he wisely turned around.
"I didn't see anything."
"Of course you haven't seen anything yet!"
The girl's somewhat irritated voice came from behind him.
Victor couldn't help laughing.
