Everyone Else Has a System

"Now that we are done with that, let's cure him. We can discuss everything else later," I spoke before moving towards Thyle. In all this confusion, I kinda forgot for a moment that I have to cure him too…

Reaching towards him, I first concentrate Life magic along with Dark magic on the tips of my fingers. While I could take the help of Hygeia to make things easier, I would first like to try things on my own.

Using my fingertip, I then proceed to touch him very cautiously, only to see that the magic has more or less started affecting me as well, but… I used the dark magic to burn out the white condensation. Then I used dark magic to burn through the white condensation present on his hand which worked out fine except that it also burnt his skin and the surrounding area too. Looking at his face, yup it was definitely painful.

Then I used the Life magic to heal the area where the burns occurred, simultaneously also erasing the condensation slowly and slowly. In the next few minutes, I cleared out the condensation on his hand entirely while also monitoring the process carefully.

Then…

I accelerated the process by increasing the amount of Dark magic and Life magic. It did become a bit difficult, but nothing out of control. If anything, it felt like I was draining a lot of mana at once, but that was all. Using Hygeia's help, I also started to regenerate my mana.

I kept healing him at this pace for the next few moments and adjusted accordingly, wherever needed. Finding no problem with the whole procedure in any sort of way, I then took a small breath before closing my eyes and concentrating…

About a couple dozen small particles of Life and Dark magic began floating in the area around Thyle and I. Using each of those Life and Dark magic particles in a similar fashion, I proceeded to heal Thyle at other places on his body, making the overall process faster than before.I could see him healing rapidly all over his body. The white area was getting eliminated at a rapid pace, but… it was still rather slow.

I saw his face, and it didn't look like he was in pain anymore. Looks like the healing effect overtook the pain…well that is good, I suppose. I then closed my eyes before opening them again.

I looked at him with a small smile as my eyes turned green, and then I increased the diameter of those particles along with the speed with which they were removing the condensation.

The concentrated magic at my fingertips also spread out, covering both my palms, while I used water healing magic to heal my mental exhaustion and Light magic to increase my concentration.

'I am at my limit here… I guess… should I push it and try to achieve higher goals?… hmmm.. Let's not do it. Don't want to end up playing with someone's life here,' I thought as I continued healing Thyle without exceeding the current pace.

At this moment, I noticed his face, and it looked like the pain overtook the healing again, but I guess, no pain no gain. From there onwards, it took over an hour to remove all the condensation from the visible places.

I observed the actual face of Thyle, without any condensation. He had a fair complexion, and he looked like someone who's in his early 30s. His bright red-coloured beard and hair gave him a vibrant look. He looked at me with those vibrant azure eyes and all I could see was gratitude in those vibrant eyes, at which I could only smile in return before speaking.

"I have removed the condensations from the surface. About the condensation present inside you, I will be removing them slowly and slowly over the course of this week. It might be a bit painful, but please bear with me, okay?"

He looked at me with a deep look before smiling wide and then nodding as he spoke,"I will."

His face looked like he wanted to say something more, which I could tell that it would probably be filled with gratification and stuff, but honestly I would rather not hear it… it is just not my style. Looking at him, he seemed to understand that too, hence he didn't say anything at all.

I turned to look at Nyx and Zuriel sitting in a chair along with Dion, playing with something that looked like a high-tech toy or something. Sensing me looking at them, Zuriel and Nyx turned at me and then at Thyle with a delighted look.

Nyx stood up and moved towards Thyle and took a good look at his condition before sighing and then turning at me as she spoke,"Thank you Zero. I know it might not mean much to you, but I, Nyx, the right hand of the man who controls Asul Extension, give you my word that I will help you in anything as long as it is not against my principles."

I could only smile as I saw the genuine look on her face, but honestly, I don't think I have the capability of trusting any promises, unless it is someone I know everything about.

"Is there any place I could take a proper bath and sleep for a while? Because I have been travelling for quite some time, I think I would like to relax for now. Also, can you later send me a guide or maybe a book or something so that I could get accustomed to this place? I would like to understand more about this place where I would be staying for now," I spoke with a slightly awkward smile and Nyx nodded at me before speaking,

"I will be personally arranging those things for you, so you need not to worry about anything. Is there anything else you would like to have? You don't need to be shy, you know?"

I saw her face, and it looked like she really was being genuine about this, so I only sighed a little before speaking.

"I will inform you if anything comes up, okay? I kind of don't have anything else. I just want to rest for now"

She nodded at my words and then looked at Zuriel and Dion before speaking,"Zuriel, you will help Zero out as his guide. Since you are someone who knows about the ins and outs of this place, along with the fact that Zero and you are already acquainted, I think you would be the best candidate for this job. About Dion, I guess you would be living with Zero, won't you?"

I nodded at her words and then looked at Dion, who seemed to be smiling at me. Hmmm.. this will also give me time to find out about what exactly happened with him. While all this, civil wars and curing people are good, I shouldn't forget about the main purpose I am here.

'I just hope Dion really is the reason I am here or something… or else, I might end up being trapped here for a really long time,' I thought as I sighed inside about this whole gamble that I was taking.

"All right then, we will be leaving from here then. Sir Thyle, I will be coming later to examine you and treat you from here onwards. Every morning will be fine?" I asked Thyle, and he looked like he was alright with that.

I then tried to recall if I was missing something, but since nothing came to my mind, I simply moved towards Zuriel and said,"All right, I will be in your care from now onwards. Can you please show me the way?"

She looked at me and then nodded before speaking,"Follow me. I guess, right now, you would like to take a rest before getting to know everything about this place?" and I nod at her suggestion.

She then bids farewell to Sir Thyle and Nyx, and we both follow her outside the room under the gazes of Thyle and Nyx.

A few moments after we all left, Nyx moved towards Thyle and sat in the chair on which Favian was sitting previously. Her previous look of gratitude changed to seriousness as she observed Thyle and asked,"How are things here?"

Thyle looked at Nyx and sighed before speaking,"Not good…. Or I don't know anymore… with your new friend here… maybe it will not be as bad."

Her eyebrows rise slightly as she looks at Thyle and understanding her look, Thyle speaks with a slightly deliberating tone as,

"To be honest, with me down and a few other things… things weren't really looking good. Though… if I can get healed within a week, unlike the usual method where it takes about months to get healed… I think we could more or less manage here. Though, the real reason I say things are fine is because… well, you saw him, right? His knowledge… his ability to use multiple elements at once… and that power rise of his, from so low to such a high level… Listen Nyx… we must have that kid on our side no matter what the conditions… Do you understand?"

Nyx looked at Thyle with a slightly serious gaze as she nodded…in fact even she would be blind to not understand the importance of someone like Zero after witnessing everything that happened…

It's just that… her instincts were telling her… Zero wasn't as simple as he looked. No, in fact, she felt like he was far more… unique and complicated than what he has shown of himself.

She couldn't really decide whether having him on their side will be a good thing or a bad thing. She was scared of the unknown that Zero held… and that child Dion… he wasn't as simple as he looked either.

Nobody knew what secrets they held… the least she could do was to follow her heart and hope that everything turns out to be fine. With all those emotions and thoughts in her mind, she simply walked out of the room under the gaze of Thyle, who could more or less understand her concerns...
