The latter just shook his head slightly, "I don't want anyone to die, and Her Highness the Saintess doesn't want anyone to die either."
"You're talking nonsense!"
An emaciated elf man burst out, supporting an old man and angrily said to Gaharis, "We're not blind. Just this morning, the person who was crying and begging you and Her Highness the Saintess to save him suddenly turned into a monster, and then his head was chopped off by a single sword stroke. Why not save us? Why kill people?!"
His eyes seethed with rage as he pointed at a Just Knight not far away, his expression filled with despair and fear.
"Anyone who is infected with the plague could turn into a monster."
Gaharis took a deep breath and calmly said to the elf man in front of him, "The more severe the illness, the more likely it is to mutate, which is one of the main reasons we prioritize treating the severely ill first."
