A young boy, tall and with eyes as dark as coal, lay on an expansive bed, his gaze fixed upon the ceiling. He appeared lost in thought. The news of the old man's death had profoundly affected him, shaking him to his core. As much as he had initially denied it, he couldn't escape the realization that Marcus was like a mentor to him. It was true that he created an escape technique tailored for Marcus but he himself knew he had lowered his guard in front of Marcus millions of time. Marcus could have kill…-

With a disconcerting tone, Julia inquired, her arms folded and her eyes fixated on the now-invisible Sylv, "So, care to explain?" Her aura returned to its natural state after she requested El to retire to rest. Sylv was genuinely terrified, and had she been human, perspiration would have been pouring from her. She was rendered speechless, her voice seemingly paralyzed by fear. Her intentions weren't malicious; there was no plan to harm El. So, why was her reaction so intense? However, she knew she had to…

El's excitement was barely contained as he inquired, "Could you introduce us now?" His experiment had surpassed his expectations, granting him a clearer view of the runic structure that formed a female figure standing alongside Julia. Nevertheless, this achievement was not without its difficulties. Gazing into the runic realm from a distance presented challenges. Many runes, both carried by the air and microscopic particles, as well as the enigmatic runic markings surrounding the enigmatic woman, hindered…

A mere moment ago, upon hearing Julia's response, El was struck by the realization that there was little he could do to aid Lys in her current state. In his heart, he harbored hope that Julia would swiftly unearth a solution. Simultaneously, he acknowledged that Elian would likely be deeply affected by this situation, potentially going to the extent of delving into the study of psychology to support his only human friend. However, amidst these pressing concerns, El redirected his gaze towards Lys's…

'I might need to extend my stay here,' Sylv contemplated. Her original visit to her friend was meant for delivering news, and she hadn't planned on staying long. However, her plans could now change due to her patient's condition. Leaving the patient alone was not an option, as she hadn't truly completed the healing process, and soul trauma could be triggered at any time or place. Sylv was confident that no one on this planet could handle a soul trauma as she had just done. 'After all, humans can't…

After what felt like an eternity of distress and turmoil, Lysandra's trembling and writhing had finally ceased. The room, once filled with chaos, was now bathed in a serene stillness. Lys, once contorted and tormented, now lay at rest on the bed. Her features had transitioned from distress to tranquility, the furrows in her brow smoothing out as if she carried the weight of the world no more. Her chest rose and fell with the rhythmic pattern of slumber, a soothing contrast to the frenetic activity that…

"No, it's just a bit more complicated," Julia replied with a sigh, her expression a blend of determination and reassurance. El found some comfort in Julia's words but remained vigilant. He noticed that Lys continued to writhe, shake, and sweat despite Julia's treatment, which left him astonished. El had believed that Julia could perform resuscitation, the pinnacle of healing. After all, if you can bring the dead back to life, what can't you heal? Had Sylv heard El's thoughts, she would have provided an…

Sylv embarked on the meticulous task of examining neural connections one by one, painstakingly isolating those that exhibited irregularities. This work demanded not only an extraordinary level of control but also a profound understanding of the human brain to prevent any unintended damage. Despite her innate inclination to aid those in need, Sylv wasn't certain she would undertake such an exhaustive endeavor if not for her friendship with Julia. The seconds ticked by like hours as she delved into the…

Several seconds ago, Julia's world was turned upside down by a piercing scream. Lysandra's cry for help cut through the air like a blade, immediately jolting her to action. Panic and concern surged within her as she bolted toward Lysandra, her usually concealed speed rendered insignificant by the urgency of the situation. In her relentless rush to Lysandra's side, Julia paid no heed to her usual grace and discretion. She disregarded El, who had entered the room with her, his presence fading into the…

Startled by Lys's piercing scream, Julia and El rushed to her side. The door was only about 5 meters away, and they reached Lys's bedside within a fraction of a second. But what astonished El was the fact that he barely noticed Julia's movement; she was already standing by the bedside when he arrived. Moreover, he couldn't detect any mana fluctuations, which suggested that Julia had either achieved this level of skill through sheer physical force or was incredibly proficient at concealing her magical…
