The greatest issue with Abominations was their heavily-twisted magic circuits.

As long as their magic circuits remained in such twisted forms, they would continue to experience indescribable pain that only they would know.

‘To treat an Abomination, I have to unravel their twisted magic circuit and end the pain it inflicts on them. Only then would they recover the ability to think,’ Vaan recalled.

Physical appearance could be slowly recovered through magic, but the mind cannot—not without eliminating the root cause of their mind’s ailment first.

Shortly after Vaan’s Rank 4 Purple Sword was cleansed and sterilized, he immediately slashed open the Plant-type Abomination’s chest, revealing its inner organs and heavily-twisted magic circuit.

At the same time, the Plant-type Abomination cried in agony and resisted strongly. However, it failed to move due to the black iron spikes restraining all of its movements.

“Fortunately, Lady Aeliana is restrained. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to proceed with the surgical treatment,” Vaan softly muttered.

He used Magic Vision to see a better picture of her twisted magic circuit.

Surprisingly, Lady Aeliana’s interior was mostly still human; it was only her exterior appearance that had been altered greatly.

That being said, Lady Aeliana’s mana veins were twice as thick as the average witch’s. Furthermore, it had an elastic strength that normal mana veins did not have.

Even so, it was like a ball of rubber that had been stretched to the limit. Thus, the pain produced by it was no surprise.

Nevertheless, Vaan gradually grasped the complete layout of Lady Aeliana’s magic circuit before he simulated its unraveling in his mind.

But after multiple simulations, he immediately encountered a major problem; the twisted magic circuit could not be unraveled through normal methods.

It wasn’t just twisted into numerous knots; it had grown extra mana veins that didn’t previously exist. And it was these new mana veins that sealed the knots, making them impossible to untangle—not without cutting a few mana veins apart.

However, a healthy magic circuit was closely related to the witch’s ability to use magic. Therefore, damaging its mana veins was the same as cutting off the witch’s future.

In extreme cases, witches even consider it as taking their life.

Nevertheless, Vaan couldn’t imagine Lady Aeliana viewing him as her mortal enemy if he managed to end her pain and help her recover, even if it meant depriving her of her magic.

Even so, there was still a good chance he could perfectly restore her mana veins after cutting them.

‘This elasticity, plant-like attributes, and my high-rank regenerative power. This can work—No, this will work,’ Vaan assured himself.

Shortly after cleansing his hands, he immediately commenced his work.

The Plant-type Abomination painfully flailed when he touched the bundle of tangled-up mana veins that made up its magic circuit.

Roar!

It cried hysterically.

Even though it was heavily restrained, the minor movements from its strong resistance still impacted his work to some degree.

Considering he was performing surgery on its mana veins without any anesthetics, he was inflicting even greater pain on it.

Vaan furrowed his brows in contemplation for a moment.

Shortly after, he used one of his hands to pleasure it while his other hand worked on its mana veins.

He didn’t hold back and struck every recognizable pleasure point consecutively, administering what would have exceeded the fifth level of pleasure on a normal person.

However, the influx of pleasure was visibly effective as the Plant-type Abomination did not resist as much, allowing Vaan to proceed with his surgical treatment more smoothly.

After untangling the easy parts, he entered Lycan Transformation and used his sharpened nails to cut his first mana vein.

Roar!

The pain exceeded a level that even Vaan’s pleasuring skills failed to neutralize. The Plant-type Abomination resisted violently.

He immediately used both hands to untangle what he needed to untangle before he reconnected the severed mana vein with the high-rank regenerative power in his blood, which had been raised by a level after he entered Lycan Transformation.

The severed mana vein quickly absorbed his blood before the cut line disappeared, restoring the mana vein to its original state.

Afterward, Vaan untied the remaining twisted knots and severed a few more mana veins before reattaching them.

Each time a knot or tangled part was unraveled, the tension on the mana veins was reduced along with the pain.

Eventually, it reached a level where the Plant-type Abomination stopped flailing from the pain—not because the pain disappeared entirely but because it dropped to a level it could be tolerated.

That said, the pain level wasn’t something a normal person could endure either.

It showed how high the Plant-type Abomination’s pain tolerance was raised during its three years of suffering.

Gradually, Vaan sensed some life returning to the Plant-type Abomination’s eyes; there was even a spark of intelligence.

Nevertheless, he continued to proceed with his surgical treatment.

Not long after he untied the last knot, a magical scene happened.

The entire magic circuit lit up, generating a powerful force of attraction that pulled in all the mana in the area.

Even the mana-filled antimagic spores seemingly resisted the suction force of the vacuuming device, wanting to return to the Plant-type Abomination’s body.

Vaan quickly used his Rank 4 Purple Sword to destroy it.

Shortly after, he retreated a few steps from the Plant-type Abomination and watched it gather a huge amount of mana into its magic circuit.

‘Mana is gathering into her magic circuit?’ Vaan’s eyes narrowed.

After untangling all the knotted mana veins, the two magic circles around the heart could be seen, seemingly lacking in some mana.

Despite that, mana was gathering inside the magic circuit instead.

As Vaan observed the changes taking place, he noticed the Plant-type Abomination’s body was changing—No, it was reverting.

However, the black iron spikes hindered the transformation.

Vaan’s eyes flickered before he decisively destroyed all the restraints, reducing all the black iron spikes into black powder with Earth Transmutation.

Shortly after, he swung his Rank 4 Purple Sword and destroyed all the equipment and formations in the experimental area.

With nothing left to hinder her body’s transformation, Lady Aeliana’s former appearance was gradually restored on its own.

Lady Aeliana regained her former beauty without a single blemish on her bare body, and her smooth skin glowed like a baby.

Even the big wound on her chest had been healed.

It was as if Lady Aeliana had achieved nirvana and been reborn like the ancient phoenix of legends.
