The runes on Manla’s arm writhed and once again turned into the shape of a tiny black snake.
It spat its tongue and, as if it had discovered something, it turned and faced the jelly-like body.
”Chi Chi…” After seeing the small snake, the jelly-like creature, which seemed to have no consciousness, began to shrink its body.
However, this movement attracted the tiny snake and it slithered towards the jelly-like body.
Seeing the small snake closing in, Hyder held on to his breath, as if afraid that his breathing would scare the snake away.
The black snake hesitantly circled the area where the wound was in. It then turned around and slithered away without a second thought!
Just when the old madame thought that it was a failure, the tiny black snake which had turned around coiled its body and darted right into the wound as fast as lightning, jumping on top of the jelly-like creature.
It swallowed the jelly-like body down in a gulp and began to retreat rapidly.
”You want to run?”
Hyder had the last laugh as he grabbed a pair of tweezers with his right hand and reached forward.
The tweezers travelled in a beautiful arc through the air and landed right in front of the tiny black snake and blocked it.
Following which, the tweezers clamped together and held onto the middle of the snake’s body.
”Hissss….” The snake hissed as it writhed its body continuously.
Hyder’s face was extremely solemn as he knew how much of a calamity would be created if the abomination in his hands were to escape.
Bringing forward a vulcanised test-tube that was covered in runes with his left hand, he tossed the black snake within and plugged the hole.
The runes flashed and sealed the test-tube tightly. Only after looking at this scene did Hyder allow himself a sigh of relief.
”Mister Hyder, is it a success?”
The old lady stepped forward and was extremely excited as she saw that the cursed runes on Manla’s arm had completely vanished.
”Of course! It is done, I have not disgraced my art!” Hyder smiled in an aloof manner.
He had no confidence prior to his attempts to remove this curse. However, in the period of his experiments, this curse had allowed him to greatly improve his Potioneering and healing skills.
”Great! As I was saying, how can we bow down to that dark Magus?”
”Fate is forever on our side!” A light of reverence appeared on the old lady’s face, as if the sun had shone on her.
Hyder, who could not withstand this light, closed his eyes and retreated a few steps.
*Pa!*
At this moment, a very crisp clap sounded from Manla’s body and a mysterious black gas once again appeared.
”What is happening?” The old witch was now like a duck which had its neck grasped, her voice hoarse as she asked.
”Damn it, a second curse! It’s actually a model composed of a combination of curses!!!”
Regret and shame now flashed across Hyder’s face.
At the same time, a huge amount of black gas formed into many tiny black snakes as the dense smog engulfed Manla within.
