SIZZZLE.
BOOM!
CRAAACK.
Yuno ignored the 'sound effects' caused by Ki Gayoon and 17's fight.
He knew he wouldn't get hit anyway, so he just focused on extracting the Cores of his patients.
Of course, he prioritized the children first.
He was glad to see that the kids' color and physical appearance were returning to normal after the Cores were extracted from their chests.
It was probably because the Artificial Cores hadn't been implanted for long.
After all, I can extract them with ease. Had the Artificial Cores been embedded for a long time, then the 'roots' would have been planted deep into the heart. I wouldn't have been able to pull them out with just my hands.
As if on cue, Yuno felt a negative energy behind him— causing the hairs on the back of his neck to stand up.
When he turned around, he was shocked when two of his patients, both patients, got up…
… and those two were obviously not purified enough.
