"Come quickly, to the ritual room" said Wolf.
They were guided outside into a small building in the shape of a tree with a door on it. It was 10 meters wide at the bottom and got thinner towards the top.
Once they were inside they saw nothing but a lab table in the corner of the neatly empty room.
Reon watched closely as the man concocted a couple vials of an unknown potion, mixing ingredients Reon didn't know about. Thirty minutes later he watched as Wolf pricked his own finger with a knife, allowing some of his blood to mix into the vials, and within a few moments, all of the liquid within the vials rose out of the bottles and congealed together mixing and morphing.
The final result was all of the liquid compressing into a glowing purple pill.
"Sit down kid. Listen, so after absorbing this pill, your energy will temporarily increase, and right when the evil spirit trys to drain it, you will soon be free of him, because although it's beneficial to you, its poisonous to evil spirits."
Reon looked at wolf and down at the pill now in his hands.
"I trust you Wolf, but I still don't understand why an evil spirit is inside of me?" asked Reon.
"I understand, it's complicated. There are numerous ways in which spirits of any nature, not just strictly evil ones, can enter and stay within a person. But something like this where the evil spirit only drains your internal energy and nothing else, not vitality, not fortune, nor mental power. My best guess is that this spirit were dealing with, is one born of curse magic or something similar."
"Curse Magic?!" Reon wondered.
"Yes, I'm sure you know of magic, one of the 5 great powers. There are many sub divisions of magic, like the basic and complex elements which most practitioners specialize in. But, there are also much more rare and powerful forms of magic. Curse magic is one such, and it allows practitioners to infect others with evil spirits like the one in you no matter how far away the person is. Well, technically curse magic is just the term to describe the negative pole of Bless magic. User's choose whether to "bless" someone with "Good" or "Evil" intention. It's up to the user. Curse magic is not inherently evil." Wolf explained.
"I see, that makes much sense." said Reon.
Even Raqm'El was learning much, nodding his head.
"The Spirit Pill I gave you will upset the negative pole, so that instead of draining your energy, the spirit will leave it alone." said Wolf.
"Alright." said Reon downing the pill.
Wolf thought to himself, "No need to get his hopes up and tell him this, but if he truly is a genius, the Spirit Pill with my blood could do much more than just neutralize the spirits pole. It could push it to the positive end of the spectrum and empower him. But, if he is that much of a talent? No! No need to get my own hopes up!"
Just as Wolf said, the evil spirit in Reon's Interior Realm, chained to his Reon's Enery Tree, noticed a bloom in the tree, purple leaves sprouting all around.
The skull looking fiend immediatley ramped up its usual constant energy drain to actively suck up more energy. Purple lighning from every black chain entered the spirit causing Reon's Interior Tree to wilt somewhat.
But moments after the Spirit did so, it began to shriek allowed, it no longer was actively draining energy and it felt it couldn't any longer.
"What is going on!" it felt.
Inside the skull fiend felt off, as if its one purpose for existence was now and always had been wrong.
Why should it drain this tree, keep it from blooming, instead it now felt it should help it bloom!
"Reverse Energy Drain!!!"
Red, purple, and blue lighting shot out from the evil spirit at great velocity, pouring into Reon's tree of energy. Many leaves sprouted, as the tree quickly grew more than it ever had. Meanwhile the spirit itself began to wilt away.
"He's doing it!" said wolf, who had been prying into Reon, as he sat there still for the last 10 minutes.
"You should feel it soon kid, get ready to control and condense your internal Qi!" said Wolf.
Reon focused meditating. He felt the strangest sensation, familiar yet at the same time somethin he knew he hadn't felt. A wave of warm, and loving air, water, fire, earth, shadow, and light besieged him. Like he was being kissed and hugged by the mother universe.
One with nature at last, he opened all of his orficies, never had he heard, seen, felt, tasted, smelt so clear. He stood up and looked at himself.
Never had he felt so stable yet flexible, so so powerful and strong, yet subtle and light.
This feeling of oneness he reeled in to his core, spread out to his entire being, then shifted it between his limbs.
This was his Internal Energy(Qi) he felt. He was now a 3-Star warrior, but more than that he instantly felt like he'd never pushed himself to his true limit before which was his mistake.
"I could have got here sooner had I not been afraid to do anything. Well I'm being too hard on myself, that spirit was stealing this from me the entire time. This energy. The physical and metal strength that comes with it is now returned to me."
Reon took one deep breath in and breathed in the universe.
The biggest thing he felt was gratitude.
He gave a deep bow to the men who'd been watching over him.
"Master Raqm'El, Spirit Doctor Wolf. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart." tears fell from his eyes.
"Huh, I guess I'm crying?" said Reon smiling.
"Haha, you did well my boy!" said Raqm'El.
"Now that your energy is back to its original form, you must take a few days to stablize that or you won't be able to control it or your emotions properly." Wolf explained. "But Raqm'El is right, you did very well."
