Arknightcraft Modpack (Steve in Terra) (Minecraft x Arknight)

From forcing the girl to drink the potion, to cutting out every active Originium crystal in her body, to making her chug several mouthfuls of milk—which ultimately led to her passing out from the pain—the entire process took less than three minutes.

After all, Steven wasn't the type to drag things out when handling serious business.

Messing around? That could wait.

But when it was time to get things done? He made sure to get things done.

That said, having a conversation with a girl who had just fainted due to milk-induced purification pain was obviously not an option.

At the very least, though, she seemed to be out of immediate danger.

Every visible Originium crystal had been completely removed, and the fresh regenerated skin, thanks to the healing potion, looked smooth and unblemished—far better than the grotesque crystallized state she was in before.

Of course, this also meant that Steven had seen everything—both the things meant to be seen and the things that weren't.

But really, what choice did he have?

He had to examine her properly while performing the operation.

What if he accidentally cut into an unaffected area?

Steven maintained a purely academic mindset about it.

Medicine was a scholarly pursuit.

A noble profession.

There was no room for biased perspectives or indecent thoughts in his work.

Satisfied with his first-ever "surgical operation," Steven casually pulled a nearby blanket over the unconscious girl, covering her up.

He had no idea how much internal Oripathy still remained in her body.

But at least for now, she wasn't dying anymore—which was a success in his book.

Her full recovery was something that would have to happen over time.

As for whether he could completely cure her Originium disease—

Well, he could, but doing so would expose too much.

And exposing too much would only lead to troublesome consequences.

[Ding! You have rescued the story character Frostleaf. World Acknowledgement Point +10,000.]

Not a bad reward, but compared to the millions of points Steven had already spent, 10k was basically pocket change.

Still, this at least confirmed that this girl was an important character in the story.

No wonder she had white hair, red eyes, and an attractive appearance.

Speaking of which, wasn't Rhodes Island filled with white-haired, red-eyed people?

After making sure the girl was stable, Steven picked up [Yamato] and opened the ice-sealed door, stepping out of the freezer-like room.

"Whew~ it's all done. You guys can handle the cleanup. She should be fine for now," Steven said, exhaling a white puff of air in the freezing temperature.

Without saying a word, Warfarin immediately rushed past him, heading straight into the room to check on the unconscious girl's condition.

Meanwhile, Kal'tsit eyed Steven suspiciously, her gaze scanning him from head to toe before ultimately settling on the katana in his hand.

She had seen many Eastern-style blades in her time.

But a sword like this one, wrapped in a sinister aura, filled with countless wailing souls—

That was something she had never even heard of before.

How many lives had to be slaughtered with that blade to create such a tangible aura of terror?

And what kind of experiences had Steven himself been through to wield it so naturally?

Just imagining it sent a chill down Kal'tsit's spine.

"That sword of yours—"

"Don't ask."

Before the green cat could even finish, Steven cut her off.

"I did what I was supposed to do. Now, when are you going to hold up your end of the deal?"

His gaze never left the strange crystal-like head peeking out from behind Kal'tsit.

Mon3tr.

The curiosity in Steven's eyes was so intense that even Mon3tr itself felt a twinge of fear and immediately recoiled back into Kal'tsit's body.

"You need it now?"

Kal'tsit truly couldn't understand why Steven was so fixated on her Mon3tr.

If he had lusted after her body, that would've at least been somewhat reasonable.

But lusting after Mon3tr?

She could only suggest that Steven go see a doctor.

—Wait.

Wasn't she a doctor?

"Not necessarily. Why don't you send it to my room tonight instead? Relax, I won't do anything too excessive to your little pet."

Steven's words should have been reassuring—

But that smile on his face...

It did nothing to put Kal'tsit at ease.

Before she could say anything else, Warfarin finally finished examining the unconscious girl and handed her over to the other medical operators to be transferred to another ward.

Then, she turned to look at Steven—

As if staring at a monster.

She knew that girl's exact condition better than anyone.

That was precisely why she looked so shocked.

A body that should have been devastated by Oripathy had completely recovered.

If she hadn't known better, she would have thought the girl had only just contracted the disease.

It was hard to believe that just minutes ago, she had been on the verge of exploding into an Originium bomb.

"I don't know how you did it…" Warfarin finally said, her voice filled with sincerity.

"But right now, all I want to do is thank you. Thank you for saving her."

Unlike Kal'tsit, she didn't question how Steven had managed it.

She simply bowed, offering him a deep and genuine expression of gratitude.

She knew that if Steven hadn't stepped in, the only thing she would have been able to do…

Was collect the girl's corpse.

"It was just a trade. Not too bad of a deal, honestly."

Steven waved a hand dismissively.

At first, he had felt a little stingy about using so many healing potions—

But hey, he got some points out of it.

Not a total loss.

Actually, if he thought about it, he might have even profited a little.

"Well, I'll leave the rest to you guys."

Steven stretched lazily.

"So this was the big emergency? Tch. I was expecting something more exciting."

He yawned and stored [Yamato] Blade back into his inventory, ready to walk away.

He hidn't get to see anything particularly interesting, but at least he earned some points.

Not a bad morning, all things considered.

Now that this was over, it was time to check on his so-called 'daughter'.

After all, the only reason he even came here was to treat Gladiia.

Once that was done, Steven figured it would be about time to leave.

The main storyline clearly hadn't started yet, and staying here would only mean getting nagged to death by Kal'tsit.
