Chapter 268: Test on others first. (1/2)

Ozul unconsciously opened his eyes and stared at Raven's stomach which caused her to feel even more embarrassed.

He just noticed how that minuscule part of the black smoke in the potion immediately scattered inside her body before it somehow helped in regenerating the lost cells of the injured part of the body.

That process was complicated and he didn't know how it could help in creating cells of another body, but what he found next was the main cause of his surprise.

After the potion did its work, it should have disappeared or something. However, he felt the small traces of his essence still lingering inside Raven's body!

He hurriedly closed his eyes again and focused on that small trace of the essence and noticed how it slowly moved towards Raven's heart.

He was in for another shock because when he deeply felt the area around her heart, there was even more of his essence surrounding it!

Ozul again opened his eyes and for a few seconds, he didn't understand why it was so. The essence around her heart was many times more so than he would find in a single healing potion. And he had noticed it himself how the minuscule amount of essence would be mostly used up and an even smaller part would be left inside the body after the healing was done.

It was concerning because there were almost multiple whiffs of that black smoke present inside of Raven's body.

Seeing no other option, Ozul could only use Blaze as a comparison.

He found him still sitting next to them but for some reason, was looking at the sky.

Ozul moved towards him and said, ”Straighten your body.”

Blaze was startled seeing him suddenly appear in his line of sight, but he instantly did what he was told.

After he had sat straight, Ozul placed a hand on his chest as well. Closing his eyes, he directly focused on Blaze's heart.

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes and stood up. However, confusion was written all over his face.

Raven and Blaze were curious what had happened for Ozul to be so focused on it, but they didn't disturb his line of thoughts.

Ozul was confused because he found that Blaze wasn't very different from Raven. The only difference he could point out was the quantity of his essence.

Blaze had it slightly lesser than Raven. However, it didn't seem to be doing anything at all.

He even observed it for a few minutes to see if anything would change, but the black essence stayed at its place without moving an inch. It was basically useless then.

As far as his abilities allowed him to examine, he only found his essence doing nothing.

But he couldn't rule out the possibilities of his abilities still being too low for him to notice anything. In the past, there had been many times when he would examine their bodies, but he wasn't able to find even these small traces of his essence before.

Ultimately, it could be that he was still weak for him to notice any difference being made by the tiny strands of black smoke circling around their hearts.

If someone else other than him saw it, they would certainly start calling him a Devil's spawn again.

He was in a dilemma because he didn't know what he should do with this residual essence inside their bodies.

What if this was exactly the cause for the abnormalities of Luthien's father and that Mikol guy?

Though there were no signs of anything like that on Raven and Blaze. They didn't have reddened eyes or would suddenly get an outburst of power out of nowhere.

How so much of this essence had entered their bodies in the first place was also a question that he didn't have an answer to.

”How many times have you consumed these healing potions?” Ozul looked at them with a thoughtful face.

However, the duo thought that he was displeased, so they were suddenly on edge.

”Not many times...” Blaze managed to utter after a few seconds of consideration.

He remembered the time Ozul had told them not to take these healing potions at all. Maybe he had changed his mind again?

”Tell me the exact amount,” Ozul spoke with a clear voice that seemed harsher to the duo.

A little panicked, Raven quickly started counting in her head. Blaze tried the same, but his brain started hurting under the pressure.

A few seconds later, Raven hesitated a little before replying, ”I am not exactly sure... but I have used around 10 bottles...”

Ozul didn't wait for Blaze to answer. If Raven's answer was somewhere near 10. Blaze's would probably be somewhere close as well.

Even if he hadn't gotten an accurate answer, it was at least enough to prove that the amount of essence inside their bodies was indeed more than there should have been using only the potions.
