Chapter 375 Awakening

"How does it feel?"

"……fine."

Caleb. Ruth was caught, Veronica. Three days after Buck's successful rescue.

Veronica, who had been groggy after waking up, finally recovered to the point where she could communicate normally.

When the beautiful lady was almost recovered, Roderick immediately called Annan for a physical examination just in case something unexpected happened.

Veronica's physical condition, from a normal medical perspective, is not a problem except for being a little weak.

However, from a magic point of view, there may be a problem.

After completing a simple physical examination, Annan had to say that Roderick's worries were not unnecessary, and there were indeed some changes in Veronica's body.

"You mean, my body is now considered half-succubus?"

Veronica had a very clear memory and understanding of what happened before and after she fell into coma, so she was not too shaken even after hearing this kind of physical examination report.

"Yes, originally you were about one-fifth of the dark race, but now, you are half of the dark race."

Annan did not conduct a too strict magical physical examination. He just drew a little blood and then used some simple dark race blood reaction tests learned at the academy to confirm this situation.

Normally, he should continue with more formal magic confirmation, but he didn't think it was necessary.

Veronica has already gone through an abyss-related ritual that has not yet been completed. There cannot be no changes, so even a simple check should be credible enough.

"Although you have become half of the dark race now, your situation should not be much different from before. You probably still have to absorb male essence every day. If I am right, you have been in a daze for a few days. I must be very hungry now."

"...That's true."

Veronica's body was obviously still very weak, but she clearly felt some kind of instinctive reaction in her body.

If there were other men sitting next to her, she might not be able to bear it and would do something inappropriate.

For some reason, Veronica didn't feel anything when facing young Annan.

However, the old underground black market doctor who came clearly in the morning would also activate the impulse in her body, which proved that her dark race blood that was imposed on her was not malfunctioning.

Veronica didn't know what was going on, but none of that mattered now.

"Annan, Caleb...what's wrong now?"

"He's still in a coma. There's nothing wrong with his body. He's a little weaker than you, but he won't die."

Annan means Caleb. Russ was kept away from Veronica by Roderick, and someone checked his physical condition every day, so there was no need to worry.

"Roderick...will you take action?" Veronica asked in a low voice.

"Probably not. As you know, Roderick is very grateful for your help. He is very fond of his old friendship. As long as Caleb Russ doesn't go crazy or has a drastic change in temperament after he wakes up, it shouldn't matter. It will be dealt with.”

"Change in temperament..."

Veronica sighed and closed her eyes.

Ask Caleb. Whether Ruth was affected by dark magic, that was definitely the case.

Otherwise, this man who has always been loyal and loyal would never kidnap him or act so insistently.

However, the other party thought he was doing a good thing, something good for himself.

Veronica didn't want to hurt Caleb. Ruth, even if the other party has actually hurt her, she still doesn't want anything to happen to the other party.

"Annan, can you contact Roderick for me later? I want to talk to him..."

"good."

Annan would not refuse such a trivial matter.

As for what happens next, it has nothing to do with him.

"Miss Buck, after you recover a little more, you can test the changes in your body according to what I said. Although it is expected to be similar to before, there may be some differences. In addition, there seems to be no change in eating here. I’ve arranged it for you, just take care of it.”

Annan completed his task of checking his body and then left.

Veronica's mental state is normal, and her body has not shown any visible changes. For the time being, it can be determined that she has not been greatly affected by black magic.

Even after going through the ritual of the abyss, it didn't seem like there was much of a burden.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Caleb who is responsible for performing the ceremony. Ruth took most of the negative impact.

"The next step is to wait for Caleb Russ to wake up, and the detailed investigation report on the people this guy came into contact with while in prison is released."

Caleb. It is impossible for Russ to understand the magical rituals of the abyss out of thin air. He does not understand magic at all, and he cannot even be regarded as a halfway monk.

But he did perform the ritual of the abyss, which means that someone must have told him the relevant knowledge.

Considering that the Abyss Cult has taken root in this city for a while, there might be some slippery fish from the Abyss Cult still staying around here.

To avoid causing bigger trouble later, identify the problem as early as possible and clean it up.

Then, another two days passed.

Caleb. Ruth finally woke up from her coma.

The school vacation had ended and Annan, who was studying at the Magic Academy normally, heard the relevant news and went to Caleb as soon as school was over. Where Ruth was placed under house arrest.

Caleb. Russ is now locked up in a warehouse of an offshore food factory, which is one of the properties held by the Nares Gang.

The small food factory that produces cans is still operating normally. None of the employees working here know that a top gangster is imprisoned in the nearby warehouse.

When Annan came to the warehouse quietly, Roderick was already there.

"go in."

After reliable allies arrived, Roderick and Annan went to face Caleb who was locked up in the innermost small room. Ruth.

Caleb. Ruth's appearance at this time was very different from before. The originally strong man had become much thinner.

After all, he was performing a dangerous black magic ritual and seemed to have sacrificed a lot of his own flesh and blood. He also lost too much blood due to the topic that was interrupted midway through the ritual. It is not surprising that his physical condition would be like this.

"Caleb Ruth."

Roderick kept a safe distance and stared at the man who was tightly bound to the iron frame bed with chains all over his body.

"If you are still conscious, if you are still normal, just respond to me."

"Roderick..."

Caleb. Ruth's voice was like an old man's, hoarse and low.

"Why do you want to hinder me?"
