My Mage System (BL)

Kevin then turned his attention back to Kelan and said to Ashton as he had wasted enough time chatting : "I'm going to create a derivation that will send most of the poison into Kelan's arms and legs, this will further slow down the penetration of the poison into his vital organs and should give him some relief."

Ashton's eyes widened, Erik had already told him that Kevin could change the circulation of the blood in the human body by using specific sequences of pressure points, but he hadn't thought that he could use this technique to protect the vital organs from the poison as well.

And when Kevin asked him to be very attentive, he observed all his actions and to better memorize them, once Kevin had finished creating three different derivations, he closed his eyes and raised his hand to make him understand that he needed time to assimilate what he had just seen.

Kevin knew exactly what Ashton was doing and he could only smile with satisfaction, he also used this method to assimilate a new technique, he closed his eyes to decompose in slow motion what he had just seen and thus memorize it more easily and quickly.

He looked again at his system's warning message and the effect of the poison was now down to 300 HP per minute.

Which was great because thanks to his recovery skill that had to come from this high grade ring, Kelan's life was no longer in danger.

The effects of the poison were now cancelled by it, and just out of curiosity, he took his hand where the ring was placed on his index finger and a message popped up immediately confirming to him, as he had guessed, that this skill did indeed come from this ring.

Dilan then approached him and he too examined the ring and he asked Nolan who had been following his movements : "This ring ... It's Caleb's isn't it ?"

Nolan smirked and said to his father : "Indeed, now that you mention it, it's the ring he always has around his neck hanging from his chain and that he never takes off no matter what."

Dilan frowned and Kevin said to him : "Don't jump to conclusions it's just a ring after all, Alan lent me one too when we were in the dungeon, and if it wasn't for it and the training he went through, Kelan would be dead already."

Dilan nodded, Kevin was right, he would thank Caleb first, then he would punch him in the face, he really hoped there was nothing between them because it would be really too weird for him otherwise.

Ashton then reopened his eyes and Kevin signaled him to follow him, there were 2 other survivors under this tent and he took care of them himself.

When they arrived at the next tent Ashton told him that he wanted to do it himself and Kevin let him try, he stayed close to him to intervene in case he made a wrong manipulation but as he had already suspected, Ashton had a capacity of assimilation out of the ordinary.

His genius surely rivaled that of the Warrior Spirits … Too bad his master wasn't there, he would have liked to know what he thought of Ashton and how he could help him develop his full potential.

After he was sure that Ashton had mastered the derivations, he let him help take care of the other survivors and they managed to decrease the effect of the poison to 500 HP per minute for them.

Kevin couldn't do anything anymore, he had controlled all their Stats and as he could see the number of HP they had, he knew that they could wait for the antidote that Ian was crafting.

He just hoped that their modified formula would be as effective as the original one and that it would rid them of this extremely dangerous poison.

With Axel they went out to join Mykael and Lucas who were identifying the bodies and when Ashton wanted to follow them, Nolan put his arm around his shoulders again and stopped him from moving forward saying : "Not that way Ash, let's go back to Kelan, shall we."

Ashton, who didn't know what was on that side, was curious but he listened to Nolan, after all he must still be very worried about his brother so he just said to him : "Ok, let's go."

Nolan smirked when he was sure that Ashton wasn't looking at him, his little rabbit was still very innocent and even if had agreed to bring him here because they really needed his help, it was out of the question that he saw the bodies of the prisoners who hadn't made it.

And while he was taking Ashton away from the place where the bodies were, Kevin and Axel had finally joined Mykael and Lucas, and Kevin then told them because he suspected the information they were both waiting for : "According to Ian, this poison is extremely rare and it comes from the Hydras, he said they were giant seven-headed water snakes. Do you know them ?"

Lucas paled and said looking at Mykael : "Impossible."

Mykael frowned and said to him : "Forget what we just talked about, it's too dangerous, I will figure a way to know who is supporting her in the shadows."

And then he said looking at his son and son-in-law : "Hydras can only be found in one world because they need a very specific environment to be able to survive, and it's a world that is ruled by Titans.

These divine creatures are as powerful as gods and they are very hard to kill, until now they have never left their world but if this god has made a deal with them, then it's much more serious than what we thought.

He looked at Lucas again and he said to him : "Take the bodies of the victims back to their respective Gods and explain the situation to them, then find the God of War, the sooner the better, use whatever resources you need."

Lucas just nodded and Mykael made a golden portal appear in front of him and just by snapping a finger the bodies began to float and he sent them through the portal, Lucas said to him before disappearing : "Be careful brother."

Once he was gone he said to Axel's questioning look : "We're not blood brothers but we grew up together, and we've always stayed together.

When I became a God he agreed to stay by my side so before I knew I had a son and a son-in-law, Lucas was the only one I would consider family."

Kevin put his arm around Axel's waist and asked in a serious tone : "Sorry to change the subject abruptly because I would really like to learn more about Lucas and you, but do we have to worry about the Titans ?"
