213 Parasite (1/2)
”What do you mean by sick?”
Knight frowned because he was thinking that in a few days, the dark aura inside him would disappear.
”I'm a dragon Knight, I can sense things, now I'm sensing something inside you, something dark and evil”
Hearing Reghys Knight sighed and decided to tell her everything that happened with Aathreya as well as how they survived.
After listening to Knight, Reghys slowly nodded.
”That explains why the aura is strong in both of you”
”What about Arrora and grey?”
”They are fine, I can barely sense the aura, but Don, the aura inside you is growing, we need to check your body this instance, and I won't take no for answer, your wellbeing is the most important thing for this kingdom”
The black aura inside him was stopping his battle energy from circulating inside his body hence, he became weak. And he realized that if he stayed in this state, it would put all that he achieved till now in danger.
”What can we do?”
He asked in a weak voice.
”Catalie, bring Ken and Benedict to Don's room, tell Benedict to bring the energy detectors”
”We can be cured right?”
Knight was slightly panicking inside but he didn't show it on his face to Reghys.
”Let's check your bodies first, then we'll know what are we dealing with”
After a few moments, Catalie appeared in his room and frowned when she saw Don's sweat-drenched body.
”Brother, are you fine?”
Her voice began to break up
”Start crying and I'll strangle you”
The little girl quickly covered her mouth when she heard Knight and moved silently to stand beside Don.
”Your majesty”
Reghys closed the door after Benedict and Ken entered the room.
”What's going on here?”
Benedict noticed something amiss when he noticed the tired face of Don and the serious face of Reghys.
”Did you bring the detector?”
Benedict retrieved a small umbrella-like device from his space ring and handed it over to Reghys.
With the device in her hand, Reghys stepped towards Knight and Don.
”Don't move and try to cultivate”
Both of them nodded and closed their eyes to cultivate as Reghys placed the device on Don's chest.
The device was not a complex one but a simple one that could check the pureness of the energies, including the battle energy. Benedict, Arya, and Reghys built the device to check the pureness of the energy that the apex output as well as check the level of the bound energy in the soldiers' body.
The more Don and Knight tried to cultivate, the more exhausted they felt.
”Why is their battle energy at this low pure level?”
”Stop cultivating”
Both of them stopped cultivating and then the light slightly became brighter.
Unlike Knight, Don was barely able to stand straight after he tried to cultivate.
”Hmm, interesting”
Reghys turned off the device
”So?”
Knight couldn't wait for Reghys's answer
”Benedict, Ken, what do you think?”
Everything related to Energy was Benedict's area of expertise and he was one of the best energy tracers in the empire. Because of that, Reghys wanted his opinion too and Ken might also have some idea considering that he came from the future.
”It seems, his majesty, and General Knight's battle energy is polluted by another type of energy”
Ken said with a frown on his face and looked at Benedict
”Ken is right, the pureness of their energy should not be this low, and I noticed that when they stopped cultivating, the light became a little brighter”
Benedict rubbed his chin and wondered about the event
”Knight, tell them everything you just told me”
Knight sighed and started to tell them everything he told Reghys while Benedict and Ken listened to him dumbstruck.
