Chapter 220 - Infected? (2/2)

”Check the area, make sure they aren't close by but stick together, I don't want anybody dying,” Eve commanded.

Ark had rushed over to Lilly who was unconscious on the floor. Ark helped her up and awakened her but when she came too, she had this horrible feeling in her head and body.

”Did we win?” Lilly groaned out.

”Yeah, we won,” Ark said.

While Ark carried Lilly on his shoulder, he brought her over to the group who had now all gathered in the centre where the demon man laid tied up. The archers had finished scouting the area but there were no signs of the True infected.

In the centre, Lenny started to examine Jack's body. Jack had ended his transformation and Lenny had seen him transform back to a human.

”So you're a werewolf huh,” Lenny said, ”I thought they had all migrated to another continent long ago, I'm surprised there's still one here on Bronzeland.”

”What do you mean?” Jack asked confused.

”Ahh so it seems you do not know of your origins, perhaps some other time young lad, we have more important matters to deal with.”

Eve who had also seen Jack turn into a werewolf was even more fascinated by Jack now. In fact, she might have even preferred what Jack looked like as a werewolf. He was a bigger muscular man and had ferocious teeth. An ideal man in her eyes.

”Are you sure this rope of yours is going to hold him,” Gary asked.

”Trust me but this rope is unbreakable,” Lenny replied.

”Hey, Ray maybe you could use that mana steal thing you do on him?” Gary whispered.

”I'm afraid not.” Ray replied, ”It seems like for some reason some of my abilities do not work on either beast or humans that have been infected by the shadow plague.”

Just then, when Ark had come with Lilly on his shoulder, Ray noticed something.

Ray walked up to Lilly to get a closer look just to be sure and his fears were confirmed.

”How do you feel?” Ray asked.

”My body is a little sore but my head is ringing like crazy, like something is pushing against it,” Lilly replied.

After hearing those words Lenny realised why Ray was asking these questions.

”Boy don't tell me…” Lenny said.

”I'm afraid so, now don't be frightened when I tell you this but it seems like you have been infected by the Shadow plague. It must have happened when you were hit by the hammer. It's still weak at the moment but soon it might take over your body.”
