Chapter 7 - The Living Will Surely Die

Now, Nyxveil, Gelend and Kurota rushed to the treatment area. When they arrived there, Nyxveil saw five beds crowded with other Goblins, probably their family members. They looked sad.

'Who is this dark purple creature? '

'What creature is this?'

'Why is it faceless? '

'Didn't it come to our village brought by that Gelend? '

Nyxveil:... Calm down. I came to help. Eiryls.

"Yes?"

Nyxveil: Activate Mist Swarm and Heal Wound to suck them in and heal their injuries.

"Accepted."

Nyxveil pointed her right hand towards the five goblins who were lying in pain. Nyxveil's right hand produced dark purple smoke that enveloped the five goblins. The other goblins looked surprised by Nyxveil's action.

'What are you trying to do?!'

Nyxveil: Calm down. I'm just trying to heal their dead body cells.

Miraculously, the five goblins recovered. All the scars on their bodies disappeared.

'Woah!! '

'Amazing!! '

'Mom!! I'm healed! '

'Oh faceless master, thank you for helping my son. '

Nyxveil: It's no problem. I can heal anyone. (smiles)

Nyxveil noticed Kurota's erratic behavior.

Nyxveil: (to Kurota) Why Kurota? Is something bothering you?

Kurota:... (feeling completely wrong)... Act... Actually... The woman you brought with you is also in a dying state.

Nyxveil: Ahh! No problem. Where is Kimiyo?Let me heals her to.

Kimiyo:Nyxveil... (lying on the bed weakly)...

Nyxveil:Kimiyo, why do you look so bad?

Kimiyo Asano:My body... So weak...

Nyxveil saw Kimiyo's pale condition and Nyxveil's heart sank.

Nyxveil:It's okay Kimiyo. I'll try to heal you.

Nyxveil repeated the same process. Her hands produced dark purple smoke that enveloped Kimiyo's body. However, Kimiyo's condition remained the same.

Nyxveil:(in confusion) Eiryls! Why didn't the Heals Wound skill work?!

"Researching... It's possible that Kimiyo's body has leaked. I found that the sword that pierced Kimiyo's chest was made of Ashtirk iron."

Nyxveil:Ashtirk iron?

"Yes. Ashtirk Iron can only be obtained when iron ore is frozen for millions of years. Perhaps this iron is used by Glicezer soldiers in their weapons. "

Nyxveil: What does it have to do with the injuries Kimiyo suffered?

"Ashtirk Iron has the property of a poison that can freeze cells and organs and kill them. "

Nyxveil (starts to feel teary.) Enough Eiryls. I understand.

Kimiyo Asano:...Nyxveil... What happened to me.

Cold smoke came out of Kimiyo's slightly open mouth as she spoke. Her body shivered with cold.

Nyxveil: Eiryls... Why can't I heal Kimiyo?...

"Your healing power isn't up to the point of being able to heal poison."

Nyxveil: I see... (tears started to flow down her cheeks.)

Kimiyo Asano: Nyxveil... What will happen to me?... (weak tone)

Nyxveil: Sorry, Kimiyo. I can't heal you. Tsk, tsk... (crying) You're going to die!!... (crying even worse.) ...

The goblins who saw Nyxveil and Kimiyo's conversation also felt sad.

Kimiyo Asano:Btt... but... I... I don't want to die... (tears start flowing down her cheeks)

The goblins who were watching started to leave because they felt that Nyxveil and Kimiyo needed privacy.

Kimiyo Asano:I... I don't want anyone to forget me when I die...

Nyxveil:Why?

Kimiyo Asano:Act...Actually... I have an orphanage....(weakly.)...I...I have a request...

Nyxveil:... What is your wish Kimiyo. I will try to fulfill it (crying)...

Kimiyo Asano:Please... Take care of my... orphan... children...

Nyxveil:Okay... I will try to fulfill it...

Kimiyo just smiled weakly at Nyxveil. Nyxveil knelt down beside Kimiyo who was lying on the bed and held her hand.

"Notice; Kimiyo's heartbeat is getting weaker."

For a few minutes, Nyxveil didn't see any movement from Kimiyo Asano. No breathing could be heard. Nyxveil let out a heavy breath before crying bitterly.

Nyxveil stood up and picked up Kimiyo's body because he intended to bury Kimiyo's body.

"Wait a minute Nyxveil. What do you want to do?"

Nyxveil: Bury her? Why? (still sobbing)

"Why do you want to bury Kimiyo's body when you can bury this body in your own body?"

Nyxveil:...Hhhmmm...Brilliant idea... Activate the Mist Swarm skill, Eiryls.

Kimiyo Asano's body that Nyxveil was carrying began to be enveloped in a deep purple mist and disappeared, absorbed.

"Process completed. New form has been found."

Nyxveil:New form?

"Want to try using this new form?"

Outside the treatment tent...

Gelend, Kurota and the other goblins are waiting outside the tent. Some are wondering what happened inside the tent because a moment ago they heard someone crying inside the tent.

Kurota: Gelend. What happened inside? We heard people crying, but then it was silent.

Gelend: (worried)...Uurrrhh... I'll take a look. (opens the tent door and starts to enter.) ...Sorry Nyxveil. What happened?... (Shocked)!!!... What the...!..

__.__

Gelend entered the treatment tent...

Gelend: ... Sorry Nyxveil. What happened?... (shocked)...!!!... What the...!...

Gelend saw a teenage girl standing naked in front of him. The girl had long purple hair.

Gelend: Who... Who are you?! Where is Nyxveil and Mrs. Kimiyo?! (starts to fight.)

'Calm down Gelend. It's me, Nyxveil. '

Gelend: Is it really you, Nyxveil? (Calms down)

Nyxveil: That's right, it's me.

Gelend: Prove it.

Nyxveil: Your previous leader was named Zrenk, right?

Gelend: (Kneels down) I'm sorry Nyxveil. I didn't know you were this girl. (looks around) Where is Mrs. Kimiyo?

Nyxveil: She... she's dead. I absorbed her body and took her form.

Gelend:Ouh... Condolences.

Nyxveil:Do you have any clothes for me? I suddenly feel embarrassed.

Gelend:There is a change of clothes for the patient in the box next to the patient's bed. Take it.

Nyxveil:Thank you... (goes to get the clothes at the place Gelend told me earlier)
