The Lightning Dragon Knight

Chapter 19: Heart Disease and Clogged Meridians

Wuungdo... Wuungdo...

A buzzing sound suddenly sounded outside the sect gate. The sound was followed by the creation of a large portal carrying many people as well as one person carried on a stretcher.

"Hey, you! Quickly bring Rai to the treatment room!" the command of someone who is none other than Ramiel to the gatekeepers.

"You guys, call the healer!" he continued to command the other guards.

"Okay, young master!" said the guards and carried out Ramiel's orders.

Then, the sect members who brought Rai earlier, immediately fled the treatment room to get the first handling.

Shortly after, the gatekeeper whom Ramiel had previously assigned to look for the healer, came along with a middle-aged man with a white beard who almost filled the entire area of his mouth.

The middle-aged man was none other than the healer that the gatekeeper had summoned. The healer then entered the treatment room to examine and treat Rai.

When the healer entered, everyone who was there immediately turned their eyes towards the healer simultaneously.

"Tabib Behrooz, please heal Rai!" ramiel said in a pleading tone.

The physician named Behrooz, immediately headed for one of the chairs beside the bed. Behrooz then checked Rai's pulse and heart rate.

"Chairman Adraksh, have you given her the first hand?" ask Behrooz to Elder Adraksh.

"Yes, I've given him the first handling! But his condition has not improved. On the contrary, his face was getting paler and his condition was getting worse!" said elder Adraksh.

Behrooz nodded after checking his heartbeat and hearing the explanation from elder Adraksh. He then ordered the elders Adraksh, Ramiel and Rin to remove all the armor and take the sword that was behind Rai's back.

After all, Behrooz again told everyone to get out of the room so that he could treat Rai freely.

Adraksh's elders Ramiel and Rin simply obeyed Behrooz's words and walked out of the room carrying Rai's entire war gear.

"This armour is heavy!" grumbling elder Adraksh then put down the armor he was carrying roughly to the point of causing a slight impact sound.

Brakes..

Cracks...

"Argh... My back!" elder Adraksh groaned slightly in pain after his back let out a slight unpleasant sound.

"Young Master Ramiel, I'm going to the medicine room to pick up some herbs that can heal my back!" said elder Adraksh.

"Alright, elder!" reply Ramiel.

Elder Adraksh finally left. Ramiel then turned his gaze towards Rin who was seen staring at the door of the treatment room with an anxious look on his face.

"Calm down, Rin! He'll be fine!" ramiel tries to calm Rin down.

"You'd better go back to your residence to cleanse your body! Later I will tell you as soon as Rai's awake!" continued.

"All right, Brother Ramiel! Here, please bring Rai's sword!" rin said as he handed over the Sky Lightning Sword to Ramiel and left with a slight hunch that Ramiel could hear.

"Pity, Rin! He never had any friends! Now, he has one good friend! But, his friend is in a critical state!" muttered Ramiel while shaking his head slowly.

20 Minutes later, then,

Ramiel is still waiting outside the treatment room. He waited accompanied by a cup of coffee and a plate of snacks he ordered bagged to warm his body from the cold rain.

"Ah... It's over! I'd better get these cups and plates back!" muttered Ramiel then went towards the canteen.

Shortly after, someone suddenly appeared next to Rai's battle equipment that Ramiel had left behind to go to the castle. That person was none other than Abrecan who was about to take all of Rai's war equipment.

"Haha... Finally, I'll get all these gear! Finish your story, Rai Tanaka! Hahaha.." Abrecan muttered while trying to take Rai's armor and sword.

However, suddenly his hand was grasped by someone to make Abrecan fail to take Rai's war equipment.

"Dad! If you want to take all this, then I won't forgive you!" said that person who was none other than Ramiel.

"Ramiel? Why are you here?" ask Abrecan.

"I should have asked that! Why is Dad here?" ramiel said reversing Abrecan's question.

"I... I.." Abrecan said hesitantly. He did not want his current actions to be known to anyone.

"What dad did—" Ramiel said stopped when the door to the treatment room opened.

Abrecan who saw that immediately disappeared from where he was standing earlier. Ramiel gritted his teeth in annoyance. He wanted to chase after his father. But on the other hand, he also wants to know Rai's condition after being treated for a few minutes by Behrooz.

"Tabib Behrooz, how's Rai doing?" ask Ramiel.

"The conditions have improved a little. But, he had to rest for a few days, because the illness he was suffering from was so severe!" answer Behrooz.

"He has heart disease. Apparently, this heart disease has been suffered since childhood," replied Behrooz.

"And there's one more thing that could make him almost dying like that. Meridian's blocked!" continued.

"Meridians... Gagged?" ramiel asked in disbelief.

"Really! It seemed, this was due to his previous fight. He was exposed to a poison that made his meridians clog! Coupled with the fact that his meridians had been damaged and his cultivation had been destroyed a few months ago!" Behrooz.

"What?! His cultivation was once destroyed?!" ramiel was surprised.

"Yes! Judging from his not-so-good meridians, it was clear that he had lost his cultivation once! And one more. The poison in Rai's body, also made his blood a little dirty. Also as I said earlier, the poison also made his meridians clogged, so he could not use any moves, techniques or attacks that required natural energy any time soon! But, if he still forced himself to use natural energy, then his meridians would explode and he could not become a swordsman anymore!" Behrooz.

"Alright, healer! I'll take good care of her!" ramiel.

"I've already given him a painkiller pill and an Intermediate level poison antidote. That will ease the pain a little! But, it won't cure him! Emm... Did he ever fight with the devil?" Behrooz.

"Yes! When he went to the Lightning Stone village yesterday, he faced the demons with Rin!" ramiel.

"Oh, so! Worth it!" Behrooz.

"What's wrong?" ask Ramiel.

"Well... The poison inside is a poison of darkness that has no antidote in this world!" answer Behrooz.

"What?!" ramiel then fell silent.

"Well, I'll excuse you!" behrooz then passed away.

Shortly after Behrooz left, Rin arrived in a hurry. His breathing was still hunting, as it ran from his residence towards the treatment room.

"Sister Ramiel, how's Rai doing?" ask Rin.

Ramiel who was previously still pensive when he heard the words from Behrooz, immediately realized and immediately informed Rai's condition.

"ee... Her... Was fine. Physician Behrooz has also given him medicine. Maybe now he's awake" replied Ramiel.

"Thank God! Can I come in?" ask Rin.

"Sure!" reply Ramiel.

Rin immediately enters the room as soon as she gets permission from Ramiel. However, how surprised he was when he saw that Rai had stood up from his bed and was preparing his equipment.

"Ray? Where are you going?" ask Rin.

"Hm? Oh, Rin's. When did you get in?" ask Rai.

"just now. Answer my question, where are you going?" rin said with emphasis at the end of his sentence.

"Oh, yes! Did you see my armor and sword? It looks like it was taken off while I was being treated!" rai said he ignored Rin again.

"Tie! Ja—"

"Oh, there it is!" said Rai then walked towards all his war gear and kept it in a storage ring.

"All right! See you, Rin!" said Rai.

Rai was about to exit the treatment room. But, her steps came to a halt when Rin suddenly hugged her from behind with tears drenching her cheeks.

"Where are you going, Rai?" ask Rin again.

"Well... I'm going to the Bloody Mist Forest!" answer Rai.

"No! Can't! You can't go there! It's very dangerous there! I'm afraid you're hurt again!" said Rin.

"What if I get hurt? Didn't we have nothing to do from the beginning?" Rai.

Degs...

"But... I consider you a friend!" reply Rin.

"Friends? Heh, I no longer believe in the name of a friend or friend!" said Rai ketus.

Degs...

"Why?" ask Rin.

"You don't need to know my personal life!" rai then disappears from Rin's presence.

"Hiks... Hix... Rai... Wh why? Why did you dump me? Wh why? Aren't I your friend? Hix... Rai... Know it? I think I like you!" Rin gumam.
