A Hospital in Another World? Chapter 949: What? That Son of God Can Control the Spirit Snake?
Previously on A Hospital in Another World?...
The little snake was eating and drinking voraciously. Initially, a wave of intense joy was transmitted through the mental link, followed by a series of slurping sounds. Garrett Nordmark rubbed his temples, feeling a slight swelling in his forehead—
How much energy did it consume? Even if a level 14 or 15 spellcaster drops a level, absorbing a tenth of the runaway energy should be enough for it to level up directly, right?
Don't overeat!
"No worries! It's delicious! I won't overeat! Delicious, delicious, delicious~~~"
The little snake continued to eat crazily. As it did, Nierka's miserable cries gradually ceased, and the snake-like patterns that continuously appeared on her face, hands, and all over her body began to fade. Eventually, she lay on the ground, barely breathing.
Priestess Tetra, the two Golden Eagle Warriors protecting her, and the two Golden Eagle Warriors who accompanied Nierka formed a semicircle, watching her nervously. After a while, they turned their gazes towards Garrett:
Everyone's eyes were filled with awe. Especially Priestess Tetra, who even took a step back behind the two Golden Eagle Warriors:
"Lord Son of God, can you even absorb the power of the Serpent God? You can actually command the spirit snake?"
"Nierka offended you and deserves to die. But Lord Son of God, considering she is a servant of the Serpent God, could you please spare her?"
Garrett turned to her dazedly. He couldn't help it; the power transmitted by the little snake was too overwhelming, making his head buzz—Although he had heard that "contract spirits can give back to their masters," he had never experienced such a thing before... and the amount given back was way too much! Little snake, take it easy! Don't burst yourself!
"Ah, oh, she won't continue to attack me, will she?" he replied, rubbing his swollen forehead. "Can you ensure she behaves?"
As he spoke, the little snake lifted its upper body from Nierka's head, turned left and right, and hissed at the people around. When its cold eyes landed on Priestess Tetra, the speed of its flicking tongue doubled:
"I want to eat! I want to eat!"
"You can't eat this one!" Garrett scolded, turning his head. The previous one was understandable; she actively provoked, then her power ran amok, letting the little snake consume that energy saved her life—it made sense. But this one?
She's not an enemy, you can't just eat her!
Garrett's scolding was unnecessary; the look and actions of the spirit snake had already terrified Priestess Tetra. The power of the Serpent God within her was slightly agitated, causing her hair to move without wind, and she stepped back.
It was clear that the rank of this spirit snake was quite high, even above the spirit snakes nurtured and inherited with the Serpent God's power. She nodded repeatedly:
"I can guarantee! I can definitely guarantee! I absolutely guarantee she won't be hostile to you! Besides, considering you saved her life, how could a Snake Woman be hostile to a spirit snake?"
To convince Garrett, she even took off a bracelet, held it up with both hands, and offered it forward:
"Put this on her, and it will suppress her power! It will ensure that until she returns, she can only act like an ordinary person and cannot use the Serpent God's power!"
This was what they used to control and punish lower and mid-level priestesses among the Snake Women. It usually couldn't suppress those of the same level. However, given that Nierka was severely injured...
Well, this time when she returns, she probably won't be a Snake Woman anymore, right?
Of course, such matters couldn't be disclosed to the Son of God. The hostage required was a Snake Woman and two Golden Eagle Warriors. If Nierka wasn't qualified, Tetra herself might have to step in...
Garrett didn't even look at the golden bracelet encrusted with gems, rubbed his forehead with one hand, held his oak staff with the other, and reached forward:
Come up!
The little snake arched its body, quickly leaped up, coiled around the oak staff, and then sprang onto Garrett's wrist, snuggling and rubbing its head against him. Garrett used his thumb to stroke its head, then tilted his chin towards Tetra:
Go subdue her!
Do I have to say it?
"This... Lord... please leave a mark..."
Priestess Tetra respectfully held the bracelet. Before Garrett could answer, Cirilla had already jumped over, grabbing the bracelet:
"I'll do it! How do I do it?"
"Here... gather your mental energy, imagine your unique mark, and imprint it onto the gem..."
She guided Cirilla in imprinting her mental mark onto the bracelet. Cirilla reluctantly caressed the sparkling gems, wanting to put the bracelet on the Snake Woman—holding it a bit longer was good—but worried about Garrett's safety, she didn't dare to stay far away.
In the end, the young Silver Dragon girl resolutely turned her head away and tossed the bracelet to the priestess:
"Take it!"
Tetra tiptoed around Garrett, carefully walked to Nierka's side, and put the bracelet on her. The tail of the snake-shaped bracelet twisted and turned, fitting into the snake's mouth. The two green gemstones embedded in the snake's eyes instantly brightened.
"Wow! She's really done for!"
Cirilla exclaimed softly in the mental link.
Garrett nodded absently. The vision provided by the 【Detection Spell】 showed that the Snake Woman's aura had been suppressed to an extremely weak level, almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person. He barely managed to put on a serious face and said:
"Since she won't continue to attack, I won't do anything. You two—"
He looked at the two Golden Eagle Warriors, who nodded hastily. Garrett said slowly:
"Stay here, don't cause trouble, and no one will bother you. Now, take her away!"
After speaking, he turned and left. He rushed back to his residence, closed the door, and slumped down—
Little snake, you gave me too much!
I need to digest it well!
Next time—don't—eat—so—much!!!
In the meditation world, there were large clumps of spiritual energy, all vomited out by the little snake. After being absorbed, digested, and refined, this spiritual energy had almost been cleansed of any malevolent and deathly elements, turning into pure spiritual power.
If he could digest and absorb all of it, his accumulation of spiritual power should advance another step, touching the threshold of level 10?
What a boon!
Humph, that Nierka kept Brother Lynn imprisoned for so long, causing her such suffering, she deserves it!
Garrett closed his eyes and entered a meditative state to digest the spiritual power. Meanwhile, Priestess Tetra hurriedly bid farewell, taking the two Golden Eagle Warriors back to the Eagle God's Kingdom.
The first thing she did upon returning to the temple was to find Chivacoatl and report her findings:
"Nierka's power has greatly diminished..." Chivacoatl listened patiently to her report, indifferent to this detail, but very interested in another piece of news brought by Tetra:
"That Son of God can control the spirit snake? A very powerful spirit snake?"
She lightly caressed the tricolored runes of red, black, and gold at the corner of her eyes, her expression pensive:
"In that case, our attitude towards him needs to change..."
