Her Breasts Are Swaying

A mana pouch that has completely rotted cannot be brought back to life.

No, to be precise, it was believed to be impossible to bring one back to life.

Just as an ordinary person's organ cannot return to its original function once it undergoes necrosis beyond a certain point.

A Hunter's mana pouch was not merely a lump of flesh, either.

In particular, the breasts of an A-rank or higher Hunter had a different firmness from ordinary tissue.

They might look soft normally, but once mana began to circulate, the skin, subcutaneous layer, fat layer, and storage layer all held together as a single reinforced structure.

It was only thanks to my ability that I could make an incision as if she were an ordinary person; normally, even cutting away the rotted tissue would be nearly impossible.

That was why the original goal of this surgery had not been treatment.

It was an emergency salvage procedure: scrape away enough of the rotted tissue to keep her from dying, drain out the toxic exudate, and prevent the infection from spreading further.

Even that much would have been enough to call it a tremendous success...
