Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Wait a second. Doesn't he possess the Fighting Crane's power? With that, he should be able to heal himself. However, it seems like this isn't the case," Anne replied curiously. She carefully examined Zachary and found that he didn't seem to have healed himself.

"This is truly baffling. Has he ever mentioned if he encountered something special while he was in the Martial Fire Tomb?" Tania's brows were furrowed.

"No, I don't think so. What on earth is happening?" Anne shook her head with a sigh as she looked worriedly at Zachary.

"Well, here is the thing. When I checked on his body just now, I've found that there is another immensely strong power within him that has been deliberately sealed. Mind you, this is different from the Fighting Crane's power he originally has. In my opinion, he must have used this power to protect his beloved. Unfortunately, his body is unable to bear its effects and is now self-destructing. Moreover, this kind of degradation is so severe that the Fighting Crane's power cannot heal him spontaneously.

Moreover, it's extremely evil and dangerous, because it must be performed using many dead warriors' bodies provided that strong spiritual energies have already been gathered. Under those circumstances, if a living person like Zachary is repaired using this skill..." Anne immediately stopped speaking as her brows were deeply furrowed. It was as if she was too terrified of the consequence to even say it out loud.

"What would happen? Please, tell me!" Without second thoughts, Tania immediately prompted her to speak.

"Well, the best case is that his personality might completely change. And the worst case is that he will become a walking corpse without soul. You, of all people, clearly know Zachary's current state. If he undergoes this kind of repair, the exposure to strong spiritual energies will likely affect his mind. I think that he might become a totally different person," Anne replied concernedly. The thought of these negative consequences was enough to put her off against this skill.
