Chapter 243 - Everyone Had Limits, Right ?
Lucas nodded and said to him : "I see, you don't want to disturb them now because Kelan's life and the others' lives are at stake but after you get the information about this poison, you will send me to look for her potential ally."
Mykael just nodded and he saw Lucas' smile widen as he said : "That's fine with me ! It's been a long time since you sent me to hunt such great prey."
Mykael shook his head helplessly and he put an arm around his friend's shoulders and they walked back to rejoin the others.
Meanwhile, just after Mykael, Lucas and Liam left to give the potions to the other victims, Alan then asked Kevin : "What can I do to help ?"
Kevin looked at him and said honestly : "Here there is nothing you can do, if you want to stay with your brother I would understand but maybe you could help Ian go faster to craft the antidote."
Alan nodded, he was right, here there was nothing he could do to help ... He took a deep breath to calm his mind, and after one last look at his big brother, he left in a hurry to see if Ian needed his help.
They used to work together and Ian had taught him almost everything so he should be able to help him because he knew him very well, and deep down he knew that with Kevin around, Kelan couldn't be any safer.
Once Alan had left Kevin called Ashton and said to him : "Erik told me that you already knew the circulation of blood in the human body and that you knew certain pressure points which served to stop bleeding or to prevent poisons from spreading throughout the body."
Ashton nodded but said to him while looking at Kelan's torso and face : "It's too late the poison has already reached the vital organs, there is only the antidote that can save him now."
Kevin then said to him : "I agree with you, there is only the antidote that can remove the poison from his body, but we can still try to relieve him and buy Ian some time to finish these potions."
He then said for everyone, not just Ashton : "I hate feeling dependent on something and even if this system is very useful and I won't hesitate to use it if I have no other choice, I prefer to use my own skills first."
Ashton looked at him dumbfounded, on the one hand he had no idea what the system Kevin mentioned was, but it was probably thanks to it that he was able to get all the herbs Liam needed.
And on the other hand, he couldn't see what he could do to relieve Kelan or slow down the devastating effect of the poison, he knew Kevin was a very talented person but everyone had limits, right ?
Kevin who was completely oblivious of Ashton's internal struggles and before trying to redirect this poison to the arms and legs that had no vital points, still wanted to know something, so he asked turning to Mykael who had just returned with Lucas : "Kelan is using his chakra, I can see it decreasing little by little, can you see how he is using it ?"
Mykael then turned to Lucas and said while patting his shouders : "See I told you this kid was resourceful ... how is he using his chakra ?"
Lucas frowned because no one should be able to use his chakra under these conditions, and he widened his eyes before answering : "He has created a slight shield around his vital organs, it doesn't stop the poison from penetrating them but it slows the flow."
Kevin who still had his perception skill activated then checked the effect of the poison on the man who was closest to Kelan and he too widened his eyes and said : "Damn, Kelan really managed to slow down the effect of the poison, the others are losing 800 HP per minute while he is only losing 500. Unbelievable."
He then looked at Axel with a reproachful look and said to him : "See, that's why you need to learn to control your chakra better."
Lucas then said to him : "Wait Kevin, not everyone can manage to master the chakra in this way, what he is doing is far beyond the ordinary skills of a fighter, and that's not all his Stamina is also abnormally high."
He looked at Dilan and asked him curious : "What kind of training has he undergone ?"
Dilan frowned because he didn't know either, the control he had over his chakra had nothing to do with him because on this point he was more like Axel and used it very little, but suddenly Kevin exclaimed : "The gravity room ! If he's been working with Caleb for three years, he must have been training in the gravity room, his stamina and probably his control over his chakra can be explained like that, right ?"
He had asked this while looking specifically at Mykael and Lucas and it was Lucas who answered him again : "For the Stamina there is no doubt, if he really trained for many hours in a gravity room it explains why all his Stats are so high despite his rather low level.
You should go and loot some dungeons with him when he will have recovered so that his level will match his Stats ... As for his control over his chakra, I'm telling you again and you can ask your man if you don't believe me, to be able to direct it through his body and form protective shields around his vital organs is a feat that very few are able to do.
Axel then told him : "Remember, I already told you when you asked me about the chakra the last time."
Kevin nodded and said to him : "Indeed, you told me that when fighter are injured, some even manage to use it to stop the bleeding, so Kelan is a special case."
Ashton said to him : "He is not the only one, Yelena also has a perfect control over her chakra, today she explained to me how she managed to concentrate such a huge quantity of chakra to be able to create a shock wave.
She has, in addition to her chakra reserve, created a second one that she constantly fills with chakra, even when she is resting, and she can use the chakra from this second reserve whenever she wants."
Lucas, like everyone else, had an expression that clearly said 'What the fuck' on their face and Kevin's smile widened as he said to Axel : "Damn honey, your intuition for finding talent is off the charts, after a Warrior Spirit you bring me this phenomenon."
