***

The sound got quieter.

"Setiria! You! You bastard!"

The red blood, which had a pointed shape with the feeling of evil, became stronger, stabbing through her to approach Ruel.

Power scattered in front of Ruel.

The power of reflection worked.

"Have you only grown my strength that far?"

He laughed at Ruel.

His red blood was beyond Ruel's control.

Crash.

An unfamiliar sense spread with the sound of the power of reflection being broken.

Crack.

A groaning sound followed, accompanied by a terrifying pain in his stomach.

"Die! Die! Die for me, Setiria!"

But the sound was silenced as if cut off by a knife.

The moment the cold wind tickled his cheek, blood spurted out of his mouth.

His stomach was hot.

"Ruel-nim!"

Everyone waiting for Ruel ran forward in astonishment.

He'd say it's okay, but he couldn't speak.

"Blood, blood comes out."

Cassion took out the potion he received from Ganien and poured it generously.

"...it won't heal."

The wound refused to heal.

Ruel opened his mouth with difficulty.

Don't waste your potions.

"Ca... cough!"

What came out was blood, not words.

Cassion tore his clothes open and saw the wound.

There was blood and something else muddy red covering it.

Leo reached out and grabbed it.

Sizzle.

It melted.

Leo was surprised even though he was the one who grabbed it.

—It, it wasn't of nature's order. This body doesn't know what this is.

"That might be interfering with the potion. Keep getting rid of it, beast."

Cassion opened his mouth with some difficulty.

His heart tightened.

Every time Ruel's breathing weakened, it became painful.

—Alright!

If it was for Ruel's sake, Leo could move his forepaws as many times as he could.

"Hina."

"Yes, sir."

"Bring in a doctor."

"Alright."

Betrayal did not exist here, as it might have elsewhere.

No matter who was called, there was no reason for concern that information would leak out.

"I will stop the bleeding so that there is no more blood loss."

Aris bit his lips tightly and pressed the wound with a cloth given by Cassion.

He was very upset that this was the only thing he could do.
