Red Blood

The Krairon - Erga (lV)

Ilfina raised her hands high into the air. From that hand came out a kind of two-colored ball of light, white and purplish-dark at the same time forming a yin-yang symbol. The wind suddenly blew forcefully around Ilfina and Taring's body as if it was in the middle of a tornado. Rhinos inevitably have to retreat because of the strong wind pressure.

But in the midst of all the terrible events thanks to Ilfina magic, Taring actually fell sprawled instantly. His body slowly now returned to its human form. Fangs, red eyes, long claws, all just vanished. Ilfina frowned. He doesn't understand what's happening to him, because he hasn't released any moves. Just an early movement.

“Ilfina ...,” Taring body subdued limp to the ground. He tried to get up and look at the ball of light in the girl's hand to convince himself that he was okay.

Ilfina lowered her hand, miraculously the energy ball and mini whirlwind disappeared just like that, “do you remember who you are?” Said Ilfina coldly.

“What does your question mean?” Taring replied while laughing.

“Jawab is right! Are you fully aware?”

“Yes it's me! Geez don't need to be that rough either.”

The flute that had been drawing down Taring's throat had now returned to Ilfina's waist. The girl helped the long-haired man wake up with a tall proclamation as if he understood very well what had happened to Taring. But when he was about to stand up, Taring's feet lost strength, he fell to the ground. It felt like his feet, hands, and senses could barely function properly.

“Taring what's wrong?”

“Ti-do not know, usually after drinking as much blood as before my body is filled with energy. But now, I could barely stand up,” slowly the man's teeth were grinding in coldness followed by sweat droplets that fell several times to the ground.

“Radino! Quickly bring him back to goa.”

Without asking much, the Rhino immediately obeyed Ilfina's orders. This time it was Taring's turn to be carried like a princess by him. The fangs were brought to the place where Ilfina had previously been treated at the back of the hall. Once it had landed on the mattress safely, Ilfina directly researched Taring's body with magic.

The girl's eyeballs glowed in the dark. In Ilfina's eyes, she was able to see the neural network belonging to the Tarynx clearly. Even down to the bloodstream he now sees less regularly due to an infection. He saw there was a virus that kept gnawing on the inside of the Tarynx body. This virus is nothing but virus—

“Virus Mantha yes?” Said Larga sneaking in. Ilfina who was still observing Taring's body immediately collapsed in concentration due to not being used to Krairon's stature.

“Oh, you guys know about this virus?”

“Sure, we only found out about a few months ago when one of the scientists from Krairon found it.”

“Where is he now? I have to meet him.”

Larga shook her head, “dia is dead. That man is my uncle. He was killed by Istara because he didn't want us to know about the virus. But as it turns out, death is much more hearable.”

“Is there no file, note or anything your uncle left behind about this virus?”

“Nothing. Everything was destroyed by that bastard Werewolf. If only my uncle had given all the results of his research to me surely now we do not need to live secretly like this.”

Ilfina thought hard, with all her limited resources she should be able to find a cure for Taring.

“This virus comes from the great caterpillar of Mantha," Ilfina said to herself, "Istara combined the caterpillar's fluid with her pheoromone in order to control the infected. Simply by smelling the smell from his body alone the six-armed monsters will obey him."

"Fingers suck blood from infected monsters. Now the effect may not be dangerous, but if Istara knows there is a descendant of the last Vampire infected with the virus, Taring can be used as a slave.”

“How can Ilfina cure him?”

“The cure for this virus is not easy. Where can I find the caterpillar of Mantha?”

Again, Largha shook his head, “ulat was already extinct due to Istara used for serum purposes. If there was anything left, it would be the monsters who would eat it. They like the caterpillars the most because it makes them stronger.”

Goddamnit! This worm-headed creature did not help at all, muttered Ilfina.

Back the girl racked her brain looking for a solution. With almost inadequate conditions like this there is not much he can do, even for a Mage though, “is there food that is not liked by the monsters?”

Largha finally reacted positively. He invited Ilfina into the underground cave even deeper. After reaching a depth of nearly thirty meters they arrived at a room filled with green moss and some mushrooms. There's a mini stream across the room.

Ilfina picked up a handful of green plants that stuck near the water stream. Then the moss is squeezed until it comes out of the water and drips it into the mouth of the sleeping Taring. The fangs instantly wriggled violently uncontrollably.

“Arrg!!! HOT!”

Can not stand the pain in his throat Taring to punch the wall beside him to collapse. Fortunately, the damage to the concrete did not spread.

It turned out to be true, the effects of the virus were incredible. The newly infected fangs have doubled in strength. Ilfina inevitably had to use a binding force on the fangs. If this person continues to be left alone, it will be dangerous.

There was a kind of purple-colored energy surrounding the hands, body, and feet of the fangs as if tying them back to the top of the already torn mattress. Ilfina again scanned the man's body with magic in her eyes. It was amazing that this girl could use two types of magic at the same time. Certainly his mastery in the science of inner energy is no doubt.

Ilfina discovered a viral reaction to the fungus. All the viruses in the Tarynx die, but due to the adrenaline rush in the body, the virus regenerates and comes back to life. After a seizure for a while, the fangs regain consciousness. He no longer felt the sting in his neck. In fact, he doesn't even feel anything anymore. All the pain from the Mantha virus is gone.

“Taring you're okay? How are you feeling?”

“I'm good, it feels like my energy has recovered back.”

“Hmmm ... strange, the virus in your body has not gone but you do not feel pain anymore. Maybe because it is this moss that causes the virus to weaken.”

Ilfina took off the straps on the fangs. The man came down from the mattress with a spirit as if he got a lot of incredible energy out of nowhere. He jumped several times, stretching, punching, kicking, and the like proved that he was okay.

Geblars!

“Oops!” One of the kicks hit the mattress until the ringsek hit the wall, “maaf.”

“Virus increases your strength, but over time the virus will recover, so you better—“

“Ya-ya-ya thank you for your help. Now I want to try this new power to monster.”

“Hei Taring!”

The fangs had already disappeared from before Ilfina in the blink of an eye. He ran at an extremely fierce speed until it was hard to see by those present in the hall towards the exit. Because too excited Taring can not brake until he was forced to punch a large rock in the mouth of the cave.

Broken to pieces!

The stone shattered into pieces exposed to the extremely powerful fist of the Taring. His speed was still not reduced until he had to jump onto one of the rocks to reduce the momentum and fall to the bottom of the hill.

Ilfina and the entire Krairon nation panicked instead of playing. They flocked out of the cave a second time. The cave door had been destroyed no wonder, this added to their panic, what if there would be monsters attacking? But that's all they don't care about, they just focus on finding where Taring's going.

Apparently the long-haired man was in a duel with one of the six-handed monsters. Ilfina descended to the bottom of the hill while riding, the horse she rode was a little unusual with a big horn on the nose.

“Tang! Stop it dangerous!”

The six-handed monster jumped up ready to hit the Taring with all six hands. The Vampire Man instantly moved down the monster in an instant then jumped to meet him in midair. All that Taring did in not up to a second. The monster was startled as soon as the target he was about to tease suddenly moved in plain sight.

The fangs exert a little energy on the right hand. Lalu—

Plaque!

Instead of punching, he instead slapped the monster in mid-air until it bounced very far and fainted. The monster was unconscious once it landed on the ground just below the feet of Ilfina and Rhino. Everyone present could not believe what had just happened. The fangs defeated the monster in a split second with just a single slap. Ilfina's mouth gaped behind the veil.

“Well, I think one monster is enough so you can make a cure for the virus, right Ilfina?"

Ilfina smiled slightly as she looked away, she blushed. It turns out that Taring wanted to help him help the Krairon and Erga. Now the problem is solved between the two of them.
