Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

"You want to examine… me how exactly?" Aemie seemed more doubtful towards Arthur yet the latter had an idea that he got from the golden dragon.

"It's my own secret," Arthur slowly said, "but it's not time to explain."

"Please…" Nicole said as if she was pleading with Aemie to listen to him.

"Alright," Aemie after a minute of hesitation said with a helpless look over her face, "it's not like I already tried everything."

"You didn't try my way," Arthur smiled before he went towards her. "I believe you should sit."

"No thanks, I'm fine this way," Aemie didn't accept his advice while he didn't mind that.

The next moment though he closed his eyes and started channeling his own spiritual energy. The energy stored and lying dormant inside his dantian and meridians started to rotate fast.

Then a single wisp of energy passed from his fingers towards her body.

The idea of the golden dragon was simply based on his unique cultivation base. The golden dragon knew how bizarre and out of this world this energy was.

So if anything that stood a chance against any dark schemes would be his energy.

And he was right about his guess.

The moment his spiritual energy entered her body, her body stiffened as if she was going to have a seizure.

"What's happening?" Nicole couldn't help but scream in panic when she saw her face. Aemie's face was now clenching like the rest of all her muscles.

She seemed not in comfort and in deep pain, however Arthur didn't care about any of that.

The moment his energy entered her body, his mind moved and started exploring the status of her body and soul.

Her body was literally fine, yet all the damage occurred to her soul. "Such a dirty poison… it's attacking your soul and eating it away," Arthur slowly said while he guided his energy towards her soul.

"What does that even mean?" Aemie couldn't even move her eyes, not to mention speak. So Nicole asked the most stressing question now, as she didn't understand anything from what he just said.

"Her soul is the source of her power," Arthur slowly explained, "her body is intact yet her soul is pretty damaged… it's a nasty toxin."

Nicole gave him a skeptical glance while feeling lost from what he said. "Can… you cure her?" This was what she was most interested in.

"Sure," and Arthur's calm answer came to make her relieved, "just give me some time and she will be fine."

In fact Arthur started repairing her soul once his energy entered there. Her soul was like a giant sea, tainted with black and dirt. All he did was to pass his spiritual energy through all this mess.

Any part touched by his spiritual energy was cleansed without exception. Yet compared with the vast size of her soul, he knew this would take quite some time.

And during the process, Aemie had to suffer from constant seizures and a hell of a pain. Yet she didn't give out a single sound or scream, remained collected and endured with all her might.

This made Arthur admire her secretly. If it was him, he would at least be now lying on the ground, twitching violently out of severe pain.

The more time he took to heal her, the better her face looked. The worst part was related to the first hour of the healing process. Then with each passing hour, her face and pain became better.

After five hours of constant healing, her seizure muscles started to relax at last and she could now smile and speak.

Yet she remained silent. She closed her eyes and started to follow the wisps of Arthur's energy until she discovered her soul.

She wasn't just nobody, she was the master of the cauldron clan. Someone like her wouldn't miss such an opportunity to know more about such a secret, especially if her life was about to be lost due to her ignorance.

The fact that Arthur, a weak and low leveled mage who came from a low world, was able to know such a thing and used it to heal her amazed her.

Also the fact that her enemies were already so experienced at this turf was a known fact to anyone in her world and position.

"Are you sure you aren't a dark mage?" After quite some time she couldn't help but ask. "Your energy works so fine with that toxin. It's dealing with it like toying with a little kid, or an old friend."

Arthur smiled and said nothing. All his focus was now attentively upon healing her. He knew if he stopped now her life wouldn't be in any danger for now.

However he wanted to make sure she was in her optimal state. The next fights would be quite intense and having someone wounded on his side wasn't reassuring at all.

"It's done," after a few more hours he pushed his hands away and opened his eyes. He took a deep breath before his body swayed.

"Easy big boy," Aemie moved fast to hold him and help him stand erect.

"Sorry, I might need some rest," Arthur gently pushed her hands away before sitting on the ground. "Give me an hour."

"Take all the time you need," Aemie was so much interested in what Arthur was doing. At some point she even sat next to him and mimicked his stance, yet nothing happened for her.

She was already so sensitive to any form of energy. When Arthur finished healing her he seemed depleted. She didn't suspect anything as this was expected.

She saw him using his energy continuously to heal a vicious toxin. Yet after a few minutes of his stay on the ground she started to feel more energy in his body.

It was something remarkable. For her she knew that regenerating lost magical energy would take a very long time.

And she also knew for sure that the main source to replenish the energy came mainly from food and drink.
