273 Hyrks Problem (2/2)
”Name: Hyrk”
”Health Status: 3%.”
”Body issues: Heavy injuries to all the body. Estimated death in fifteen minutes. Hidden poison in his body. The poison in the body doesn't act immediately, but its transmitted easily to anyone near the infected body, once the poison flares even a Sage Rank expert would be extremely weakened and anyone at the Grandmaster Rank or lower will die.”
”Soul Issues: Part of the soul is missing. That issue is provoked by a failure in a soul enslaving process due to resisting to the enslavement and stopping it forcefully using will-force.”
The only new part for Yale was the one related to the Soul issues as the other was the same as when he used the Divine Light Eyes to check Hyrk.
Yale's face turned grim when he learned about the state of Hyrk's soul. However, that damage to the soul showed how he refused to betray the Revgen Empire no matter what kind of pain would he suffer when he was being enslaved.
As long as the mind wavered in the slightest, the enslavement would succeed, but Hyrk's soul was damaged because he was stubborn and didn't hesitate even for a second despite the pain he had felt at that moment.
Hyrk also planned to transmit the information he had obtained to Nurvey after being saved. He would have said it before being saved, but he wasn't able to speak that much when he reached the gates of the Imperial Palace, being able to ask to meet Nurvey was already his limit.
Yale knew how to dispel the poison on Hyrk's body, and with his capabilities, it wasn't difficult; the most fearsome part of the poison was that it was almost impossible to detect until it flared, but as long it hasn't flared, removing it wasn't difficult for anyone who was skilled in healing.
However, Yale couldn't heal a soul that had lost a part of it due to a failing enslaving. Although the level of that damage wouldn't affect a normal life, it would limit the success in practice.
Probably Hyrk would never reach the Expert Rank in the Magus Path and in the Warrior Path he could still reach the Sage Rank if he had some lucky encounters and trained hard, but if he tried to comprehend a bit of any law, he would be unable to it. Thus, it was impossible for him becoming a Law Master due to the harm in his soul.
”Nurvey, stay here and don't approach him. I will heal his body and dispel that poison that is hidden within it. I am immune to poisons, so you don't need to worry about me.”
Nurvey quickly nodded and didn't move even when Yale released her; she was adept to any types of support magic, but despite having also trained some healing, she wasn't good enough to have confidence in dispelling a poison that she was unable to detect. After all, she didn't focus on healing, so it wasn't shameful for Nurvey being unable to heal a strange poison.
Yale neared Hyrk, and he felt an almost undetectable poison enter in his body. However, that poison was destroyed at that same moment due to the Poison Immunity.
When Yale reached Hyrk's side, he used Time Healing to restore Hyrk's body before starting to deal with the poison because Hyrk was really on the verge of death, and there was no need for the poison to kill him.
The poison was there to affect the people of the Imperial Family after they had helped him because Hyrk was already a corpse in the eyes of the person who poisoned him; he just was allowed to live to harm the Imperial Family.
Hyrk had been harmed some time ago because he had traveled to the Imperial City, but the time since he was injured wasn't too long ago and Yale's talent in Time and Healing had improved a lot, so he could heal Hyrk even if he needed some time.
After the improvements in his talents, Time Healing only needed 1 Origin Point per second, so Yale could use Time Healing on Hyrk without needing to worry about exhausting all his energy.
Yale needed two hours to recover Hyrk's body, and even after so much healing, there were a lot of scars covering Hyrk's body because there was some damage that was unable to heal completely due to being inflicted to Hyrk some days before the heaviest injuries that were the main danger to his life.
Moreover, even if Hyrk's body had been healed, he would need to rest a bit before being able to move freely.
”Your body is already alright; now I will deal with that poison inside of you.”
Yale knew that dispelling that poison would also require time because despite not being too difficult, it was a rather slow process.
That was the main reason for Yale wanting to avoid Nurvey and the guards getting infected; he wouldn't have enough time to heal everyone in a short time, and it would be a disaster if that poison flared when a lot of people were still infected by it.
