Mu'Tua stood rooted to the spot in shock, watching Re'Kha remain unaware of what had just transpired.

She had come across many patients who had their eyes stolen by the Blinded Ghost. And, she had come across even more patients who had one of their body parts stolen by a Sha. They were just too many to count.

In all cases, a Sha left traces on the victim, whether internally or externally, filling up the place of the body part it had stolen with Ghost Qi. It seemed to be a characteristic they abided by. Just based on the traces left in the victim, it was possible to reverse deduce the type of Sha that had inflicted it.

Mu'Tua had treated 10 victims of the Blinded Ghost. They all had their eyes stolen by it. Replaced in their eyes was a black mist that acted like a liquid. It didn't do anything apart from existing there peacefully.

Moreover, it was the reason the victims didn't suffer from any pain or side effects of getting their eyes stolen. The black mist prevented the place from bleeding or even being injured. Usually, the black mass left in a commoner was thinner as compared to the amount left in a Harmoniser.

But, the cases of Harmonisers getting their eyes stolen by the Blinded Ghost were few. Most of its targets were the common populace that existed in large numbers. Even then, none of the black mass in their eyes could compare with the one in Re'Kha.

Unlike the others, the black mass in her eyes seemed alive, actively behaving to protect itself from harm. Even Mu'Tua hadn't encountered something like that.

'Right, she did have a history with the Blinded Ghost. They had clashed for two years, the highest it ever came in contact with a Harmoniser.' Mu'Tua nodded.

Fate worked in strange ways. And, their world was huge, so it made no sense for the Blinded Ghost to linger in the same area of its activity for a long duration. But despite everything, it did just that, getting entangled with Re'Kha who pursued it every time.

"Re'Kha, just how many pairs of eyes did the Blinded Ghost have now?" Mu'Tua observed Re'Kha to see if there would be any change in her eyes.

"I don't know," Re'Kha shook her head, "I was unable to see it in detail. I only determined it was the blinded Ghost based on its size, shape, and movement pattern."

"I see," Mu'Tua nodded, "The Blinded Ghost has left a massive amount of Ghost Qi in your eyes. It is almost sentient. There are two paths for you to take now."

After pausing for a moment, Mu'Tua kept watch on the expression of Re'Kha as she continued, "First, you remain in your current state without getting treated. As you have clashed many times in the past, you might still clash in the future. And, when the chance presents itself, snatch your eyes back from it."

"Thanks to the Ghost Qi present in your eyes, the moment I put the eyes back in you would your sight return."

"What's the second choice?" Re'Kha inquired.

"The second is for me to slowly siphon the Ghost Qi from your eyes. This is a risky process. And the moment I remove all the Ghost Qi, you might experience a lot of pain. And, I cannot guarantee the problems that might arise because of it. Also, I would have to continuously heal you for a couple of months to regrow your eyes. It would take one more month for you to regain your sight. But, a small mistake, and you would lose all hope of being able to see once again." Mu'Tua sighed.

She then shook her head, "The Ghost Qi in your eyes is preventing me from taking a look at the actual situation. So, I cannot give any guarantee if it would be possible. Also, it is a sensitive place. There are risks with this method. And, if the Blinded Ghost had done something else, then I cannot save you. But, if you chose this option, then I'll guarantee with my life that you will regain your sight."

"Thank you, grandma." Re'Kha nodded, thinking for a moment that it would be wiser to get treatment from her and regenerate her eyes. It would take a lot of time and consume a lot of resources, but she would have her eyesight by its end.

The first plan consisted of reclaiming her eyes from the Blinded Ghost. This was what Re'Kha was gunning for, but she knew how difficult it was to actually execute it. The Blinded Ghost was elusive. It could disappear back into its shell from anywhere in its range of activity.

She had fought against it numerous times. And the moment it was cornered, it would vanish from the scene. It was a frustrating experience, having to watch the same foe escape again and again from her hands.

Unless she could sniff out the Blinded Ghost's shell, she never had any hope of catching it. Moreover, in their recent clash, it was able to take control of her Pranic Art. This increased the difficulty of reclaiming her eyes.

"Grandma," Re'Kha thought of something, speaking, "If I use a purified body of a Kalha, can you put that eye in me? It would be less risky with that right?"

"The purified body of a Kalha is a dead eye. It won't work. We had tried that in the past." Mu'Tua shook her head. "All it could be used is as an ingredient for medicine."

Hearing her answer, Re'Kha was inclined to go with the second option, for it was relatively safer as compared to the first. She opened her mouth, intending to reply when her master's voice resounded in her head, "No! The moment you grow a pair of eyes other than your own, the Blinded Ghost would be able to possess you through the connection it shares with you. That is also one of the reasons it steals the eyes. It is in hopes the victims undergo treatment and get a pair of eyes once again."

'M-Master?'
