378 War: Marks Repor (2/2)
”It doesn't stop there though.” She said, ”The culprit of this is most likely Vit'hum himself, I can sense his influence and Death Laws in these two. And if I'm correct then he most likely did this to every single one of them. Aside from killing them, we have to make sure to erase all traces of residual Death Laws from their bodies. There's no telling what Vit'hum could do with those.”
The group became silent after hearing this. This was terrible news.
As if the amount of beast he brought to the kingdom wasn't enough, Vit'hum just had to pull off something like this.
Just like Queen Elizabeth's words, they have to do something about these bodies since there's no telling what Vit'hum could do with them. After all, Vit'hum is already at the Second Field of study on his Death Laws. The amount of things he could do with them might cause them to lose this war or worse, be the deaths of them.
”Dispose these two for now, do it amidst the horde.” King Alexander ordered, ”You two, focus on clearing out the Black Curtain Guild forces. If you can, try to pile their bodies away from here just in case something happens.”
”It will be done, Your Majesty.” Mark replied, he and Old Lee then disappeared from sight and returned to the battlefield as lightning bolts while dragging their victims with them.
”Luis, concentrate on the battlefield. We will try to search for ways to deal with this situation.” Alexander told him. Luis nodded and left returned his attention to the flow of battle once again.
”Dear, do you have any idea on to deal with this situation?” Alexander asked Elizabeth since he himself was clueless.
Sadly, the Queen shook her head and said: ”I can't think of any. Sadly, I don't know anyone who cultivates Death Laws to consult with.”
This caused the King to sigh and felt worried about their current situation. He had seen what Death Laws could do before since he fought with Altair before. This was before he knew that Vit'hum was actually controlling his brother.
In the middle of their conundrum, Balmung the suddenly spoke.
”I asked for some help with this, someone actually replied saying that they could help.”
His words livened up the group, Alexander then asked: ”Who is it?”
”Richard.” Balmung revealed, causing them to be shocked.
”You mean, that Richard?” Queen Elizabeth asked, wanting some clarifications.
”Yes, Richard the alchemist.” Balmung nodded, he then activated his communication array. ”Here, you can talk to him.”
The King took the array tablet and spoke to it, ”Richard?”
”Yes, it is me Your Majesty.” Richard's voice sounded through the communication device. ”Prince Balmung informed us about your situation. Luckily, all this concoction pushed me to the edge, allowing my skills to enter a new level. I believe I have the solution for the problem about the Death Laws.”
Hearing his words caused the King to feel overjoyed. In his ecstatic mood, he failed to realize something that he would normally be able to tell.
Richard's voice sounded extremely strange, even his speaking habits sounded off for some reason. On one hand, this could be amounted to his exhaustion. After all, he had been concocting pills and potions day and night, barely getting rest in between.
The King then said: ”Wonderful! What are your ideas?”
”I'll need to concoct some potions, it won't take long. An hour or two will suffice. In the mean time, the amount I can produce is limited due to the shortage of materials. If it's possible, then please have the bodies pilled up so that cure can cleanse all the targets at once.”
”I've already ordered them to do that. Focus on your concoctions then, I'll send Victor at the Sacred Leaf Tavern to pick up the cure after two hours.”
”As you wish, Your Majesty. I'll return to my chambers then.”
Richard then switched the communication array off and looked up to see someone nodding at him while handing him some ingredients.
