Legacy of the Dark Sage

Chapter 1068: Harbringer of Chaos, Coelus (2)

Kyran did not know how to respond to that. But one thing he knew was that his body started to feel strange after the tension from earlier abated.

No.

That was not entirely correct. It was after he used the Void Domain that the strange feeling in his body appeared.

In other people's eyes, Kyran's defiant attitude toward the Dragon Emperor lessened because he was too focused on maintaining his domain. When Kyran summoned his domain, his primary target was Cyneah, with the Dragon Emperor as secondary only. But because the latter possessed far greater magic energy and mage level, maintaining the domain took a lot of toll on Kyran's mind and body.

He also had to be careful not to alert the Macabre Glacier's sentient of Shaiha's presence.

Kyran still remembered when the Macabre Glacier's energy first made contact with him and Shaiha lost control. He had yet to understand what happened back then, but now that Shaiha had returned most of her strength after coming to the Higher Realm, he expected nothing of the sort would happen again.

Going back to the main topic of concern, now that Kyran had reduced the range of his domain, with Cyneah as his sole target, he thought the strange feeling would disappear.

He was wrong.

Ames not only noticed how pale Kyran's complexion had become but also how badly he was sweating.

"Kyran?" Cyneah's called, her voice filled with worry.

Because the Void Domain covered her body, Cyneah could not use magic sense to observe her surroundings. Thus, she did not notice that Kyran was unwell. Not that it would really help, even if she could use magic sense because she still could not see him well unless he lowered Shaiha's concealment.

"I'm fine—."

"Don't say you're fine when you're clearly not," Ames said, cutting off Kyran's response. "Rest for today. We'll have a feast to celebrate your arrival another time."

Kyran did not refuse. He was not exhausted per se, but the strange feeling on his body made him feel uncomfortable, and he only wanted to lie down and sleep. If he had to compare how he felt at the moment, it was like he was coming down with the bad fever.

Ames did not waste any effort escorting Kyran and the others to their accommodation. Although she did not change into her dragon form, her body grew so she could carry everyone.

Kyran and the others would stay in a medium-sized villa with several rooms, a huge courtyard, and a training ground at the back. The Regis family members that Ames brought along with her were also staying there.

Ames already informed them of their arrival, so all Regis family members gathered outside to greet them. As for Kyran's room, it was already prepared prior to the Tower of the Ancients' opening. As a matter of fact, they reserved the master's bedroom for him, so he had a room ready once they found him.

By the time Ames arrived with Kyran and the others at the villa, Kyran's condition had already worsened. His body felt as if they were on fire, and he could barely stay conscious of the pain.

Cyneah pleaded with Kyran to release his domain so she could treat him, but he would not budge. Ultimately, when he could no longer endure the pain, he fell unconscious.

Surprisingly, he still managed to keep the Void Domain around Cyneah active, much to her chagrin.

"If my suspicions are right, yes."

Cyneah paused as she raised her head toward Ames's direction.

"...Is it something we have to be alarmed about?"

"No.. is what I want to say," Ames said with a sigh. "But I honestly don't know. Only after we confirmed what caused his suffering can we make any concessions."

"...I understand."

"I'll be back in a few hours. You also need to rest. If you end up falling sick because you neglected your own health, Kyran will think Myst and Raya are not taking good care of you."

"H-He will not do that..."

Ames only smiled and left through the room's balcony.

At this time, Myst and Raya returned with the spare blankets and pillows. When they saw the balcony doors open and Ames had gone, they could only sigh and say, "Does she have to leave through the balcony?"

Cyneah gave a small smile before turning her attention back to Kyran.

Raya closed the balcony doors while Myst fixed the couch where Cyneah would sleep.

"This is the second time I've seen the Young Master suffer like this," Myst remarked.

Cyneah's ears perked up as she raised her head toward Myst's direction.

"When is the first time?" she asked in curiosity, thinking that it might give them a clue as to how to help Kyran get better.

"It was when he was suffering from his magic," Myst replied with a bitter smile. "Back then, the Young Master was still a young boy, and his magic affected his surroundings. As you know, one of the natures of Young Master's Void magic is absorption. Because he was only a young boy, he could not control the effect of his magic and continuously absorbed the magic energies around him.

If Lord Cade failed to seal the Young Master's magic, he might have exploded from all the crazy amount of magic energy his young little body absorbed."

"This... is the first time I'm hearing this."

"I'm sure Young Master doesn't want you to worry over something that has already happened."

Cyneah did not respond, but an idea started to take form in her mind.

Back then, Kyran suffered because of his Void magic. What if, this time, it had something to do with his Draconic magic?
