Chapter 73 - I Didn"t Mean to Hurt Him

Sky opened his eyes and found himself on a hospital bed. "Ah... You"re awake. How do you feel right now?" Ben asked with a rather tired tone. Sky slightly confused for a few seconds, but the moment he felt that stinging sensation on his chest, he remembered everything he did a few hours ago. "Chris! Where is Chris?" Sky asked with a worried look. Ben pointed at another bed in the room. Chris is still asleep with a cat plushie in his hand. He looks a bit more paler than usual and his right eye is neatly bandaged.

"Is he... alright?" Sky asks without having the courage to looks into Ben"s eyes. "His injuries are not life threatening, but I"m sure you know that due to his special bloodlines, he has a slow self recovery especially in null dimension, and immune with most types of healing magics, so the injury on his eye would take some times to recover. Another problem is that his magic had been quite unstable since just now, I afraid it might somehow affect his body." said Ben with a serious tone. Then he noticed the self-blaming look of Sky. "Although you are the reason he gets injured but doesn"t blame yourself too much, it"s not anything we can control anyway." said Ben. However they do not realize that, Chris was actually awake for the whole time and secretly listening to their conversations.

"And... How are those two from Alliance? Chris didn"t finish them off... Right?" Sky asks. "Well, of course he didn"t. Xenoo from Black Cross took them away just now, probably going to send them to the Kingdom for "reformation" instead of sending them back to the Alliance. Ah... Seriously I was thinking to inform you about Seito-kun"s conditions just now, but get interrupted by those two. "said Ben. "Seito? What"s wrong with him? Is his condition getting worse?" Sky asked with a worried tone. Ben gives out a long sigh before leading Sky to a hidden room...

Inside the room, there are a few advanced devices with huge gla.s.s tanks, inside of each tank are some slightly deformed human-like creatures. Each of the creatures has a tube connected to their different body parts with Seito"s body, who is lying on the bed, his whole body had been covered with bruises and his face started to swollen. "Those are failed clones I get from the Kingdom HQ, as most of Seito"s internal organ had malfunctioned due to the parasites in his body, in order to make sure his body will be still functioning properly, I linked their organs with his to ensure his body been maintained properly. "said Ben while examining Seito"s face. "And as expected, the parasites had started to become active again." said Ben. "What do you mean by that? Chris"s magic seal... Wait! You can"t mean..." said Sky after realizing something. "Yes, with Chris placing such a strong seal on you, the effect of the seal he placed on Seito started to decrease. And I really doubt if he could hang on to it any longer with his unstable magic flow right now. Even if he does, his body will probably need to sustain a great damage again like before." said Ben.

"Is there anything we could do right now?" Sky asks. "Yes, get rid of the parasites in Seito"s body or fix that damaged crystal of yours." said Ben. "That"s... My crystal needs some special material to fix, which is not anything we could get in the shortest time. While for the parasites, since it"s the deed of the angels, those other superior beings probably wouldn"t want to get involved and the government had decided to eliminate the "disease" in an extreme method, which means there is only one way left... " said Sky. "We will have to find the cure by ourselves." said Chris who suddenly appeared at the entrance... With a cat plushie.
