"How is his condition?"
Richard asked Vanessa Greenfield—the greatest healer in Shield.
He had been anxious for quite a while, Alan was the most outstanding prospect of his guild and he didnt want to lose him.
Vanessa, sipping on a cup of tea sighed and said.
"I can't do it."
"..!"
Richard showed a surprised reaction upon hearing the news.
Vanessa Greenfield...THE Vanessa Greenfield couldn't...do it?... She couldn't heal Alan.
"...shit."
Cursed Richard. The best healers in Twilight couldn't, The highest-grade potions they could get couldn't...and not even Vanessa could heal him.
"I could do it if..."
Hearing her words, Richard gained a sense of hope...But it was futile.
"The Chaos energy inside him is just too much. It's stopping the liquid from working and even my skills can't do much."
She looked at Alan's body in the Vat. His heart was barely being kept inside his body by the healing liquid, fortunately, though, He was alive. The blood had been stopped and his legs had become stumps.
"The attacks he was hit by were composed of such pure chaos energy that he honestly shouldn't be alive right now. I don't know what it is but he's alive... The chaotic energy within him is enough to kill several Hundred awakened but he's taking it easy. That vitality and endurance of his is really something."
Richard became Silent upon hearing Vanessa's words. He clenched his fists as tightly as he could.
'So there's no way to he-'
His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door to the Room opening.
"I've contacted Master. He will be arriving soon."
Elena Frost entered the room, Her entrance alone lowered the temperature of the room. It was evident she was mad. Mad that her disciple was in such a state.
"Mister Oliver will be coming? Wasn't he on serious business in the Demonic Continent?"
Asked Richard. The previous time he had met the Sage, he had gone to the Demonic Continent.
"Yes, I told him about everything that had happened. He said he will be arriving as quickly as he can."
Explained Elena.
"If it's the Sage, he can definitely get rid of the sea of Chaos energy inside Alan."
Said Vanessa. Indeed, if Master Oliver came personally, Alan would be healed quickly. He could still be saved.
"Thank the gods...I should go and prepare for his Arrival then. Said Richard before leaving the room.
Elena stayed in the room for a while. She gazed at Alan's pathetic state with worry.
She cherished him, he was extremely talented and also her first student. He was the only one who was worthy enough to be the Forst Queen's disciple. He was just that good.
It pained her to see him, Someone of his talent be reduced to a state. He could copy magic skills the moment he saw them with pure mana control.
"sigh..."
But in the end, she could do nothing but wait for her Master to come here and personally heal Alan. Only he could do it now.
"You can go do what you want. I need to do some more checks on him anyway."
She listened to Vanessa and left. Although she still did tell her to take care of him.
"Take care of him. He's my disciple so I would appreciate it if y-"
"Yeah, Yeah I know, just go already."
"..."
Vanessa was always like this, but Elena knew she kept her word. Because of that, she could trust her with Alan.
After Elena had left, Vanessa pulled out a Tablet and scanned Alan's Vital.
His vitals were akin to those in a Coma. Yet...The Chaos Energy meter was still as high as ever.
"You should be dead...But here you are still alive."
It was intriguing. The sheer amount of Chaos Energy inside Alan was enough to kill several hundred awakened after all, it was surprising he was alive.
"How are you still so fine...even with all of that inside you?"
She pondered as she performed more checks.
The Chaos Energy inside Alan should have been ravaging his insides apart...it should be actively trying to kill him but...it was dormant.
It wasn't doing anything. Unlike all previously recorded cases.
"Do you maybe have an affinity to the element of Chaos? Something you hid?"
She muttered. Little did she know what she just as a passing sentence was true.
Alan had a SUPREME-rated affinity for the Chaos Element...And He was also in the body of the one most suited for Chaos.
Aranus, the Dragon of Oblivion and Extinction.
That body, despite its current state, was still his. It belonged to the strongest being ever. The Strongest demon.
Because it originally had chaos as the only and true element...Its potential was very limited.
"All his other vitals are good, It's still weird why the chaos energy isn't doing anything but disrupting our healing attempts...."
It belonged to a Marquis, after all, Maybe it had some unique properties?
She had never sealed with something like this, so maybe it was true.
"Oh..."
Vanessa sensed the presence of Mister Oliver, His immense mana permeated throughout the entire Twilight Guilds headquarters. The Sage had arrived quicker than expected.
"Those damned reporters would be swarming the building now..."
She shrugged.
"Oh well, I just need to wait for Mister Oliver to do what he needs to do."
She couldn't help even if she wanted to. Oliver was just that good.
*******
The Swordsaint stared at the purple sky in silence.
Behind him, Alexander and Olivia were still fighting hordes of demons.
"That idiot."
He muttered, referring to Alan.
He stared at the purple lightning dancing in the clouds with anger.
"To think they would go after my disciple...Have those fucking idiots forgotten me?"
He wondered, Had the demons forgotten about him?
He was the Sword Saint, He was the Demon Slayer, he was the one who slayed Demon Dukes!
Had they forgotten about him...How sad.
He looked at Alex and Olivia one last time. Those two were still struggling with the mere demonic beast horde. It only consisted of about a few thousand beasts.
Arken's eyes glowed golden, and the sound of a thunderbolt was heard as the few thousand demonic beasts exploded, literally.
He didnt even move.
"Rest you two, Oliver is going to be bringing Alan and Lucas here, Rest so you can greet them.
As for me, I'll be back in a while."
His figure disappeared like a flash of lightning...leaving the confused Alex and Olivia behind.
