Chapter 466

In a state of rapid breath, Yuder watched as the sight of the tiny light melted into the red aura that had been enveloping the vessel. Only then did he relax his muscles and lower his head. His body was drenched in sweat, as if he had never bathed at all.

Yet his mood was considerably relieved. He wasn’t planning to end things here; he would observe the progress and try again. As he raised his head to check on Kishiar, he paused at the sight of an unexpected expression on the man’s face.

"Commander?"

"Well, why don’t you lie down for a moment?"

As if he had been waiting for this moment, Kishiar calmly smiled and pulled Yuder onto the bed where he had just been lying. The movement was so fluid that Yuder didn’t even have time to ask why.

"Is there anywhere that hurts?"

"None."

"That can’t be."

With conviction, Kishiar placed his hand over the exposed chest of Yuder. Only then did Yuder realize that dark-red marks had spread across his chest. Midway through their operation, he felt a force suddenly breaking through, and suspected this might be the reason.

"Um... how far have they spread?"

"Seeing for yourself would be faster than asking me."

Kishiar picked up a desk mirror nearby. Reflected in the beautifully silvered mirror was a face that looked as bad as a plague patient’s. Besides one eye that still shone golden, crimson streaks swelled and spread from his neck to his chin.

Yuder finally understood Kishiar’s reaction.

"It does look serious, but I assure you, it doesn’t hurt. Really. See, it's fading."

The pain he had felt in his eyes and body had disappeared as if it were a lie as soon as everything was over. All that remained was an afterglow. Moreover, the dark red marks that had extended to his chin were subtly fading, promising to subside to its previous level if left alone.

However, Kishiar seemed reluctant to judge the situation just by his words. Smiling after hearing the explanation, he immediately opened the drawer of a dresser and took out a resplendent ruby holy symbol and a purification stone, both of which were familiar.

'This is...'

"Priest Lusan is not here now."

Kishiar, the only one who could wield divine power, wound the gold chain attached to the holy symbol around his bare arm and tugged it tightly.

He handled the precious artifact so casually it might have been considered sacrilegious, but Yuder was the only other person present. To Kishiar, his body was far more important than any historical relic.

Would it really be okay to use divine power right after the experiment? Just as Yuder thought he should suggest leaving it be, Kishiar reached out and gently patted Yuder’s head.

"It’s fine. Now, stay still."

Effectively nullifying Yuder’s concerns, Kishiar held the purification stone and poured his divine power into it. The stone glowed softly, and as he held it against Yuder's skin, a refreshing sensation began to sweep through his body.

The pain he'd felt when he'd first used it was completely absent this time. On the contrary, it felt as if strength was gradually returning to his weary body.

After a while, the dark red veins that had spread across Yuder's body had mostly faded, just as he'd expected. Rather than diminishing, they seemed to be absorbed deeper into his flesh. Only after most of the dark red energy had disappeared did Kishiar finally cease using his divine power. By that point, about ten extremely expensive purification stones had been reduced to useless rocks.

"..."

"Want to join them?"

"No, I'm considering strengthening our training schedule once the vacation ends."

Drinking was fine, but one should never lose oneself in it. Most members knew their limits even when inebriated, but those hanging out with Gakane were notorious for their love of alcohol among the members.

It might not be a problem now, but it could be in the future. The best way to teach self-control was through training.

A bigger smile spread across Kishiar's changed expression, perhaps sensing the sincerity in Yuder's words.

"Reassuring," he said.

They walked past the tavern where Gakane and the members were seated, heading deeper into a darker alley. The noise faded, gradually replaced by darkness and silence.

Kishiar continued to stride confidently, as if he knew exactly where he was going. Yuder was a bit curious about where this walk would ultimately lead, but he silently followed behind.

And finally, crossing a certain alley, something they had seen before revealed itself.

It was a broad wall filled with numerous sword marks.
