"Oh no. What the hell have I done?" With tears flowing, knelt down in front of his young lord.
"Mister Ryou, is there any instance that something like this happened? Is there any hope that he can survive this?" asked Lord Cromwell.
"Mister Ryou how about we take it away the crystal right now? We could do that right?" Grandma Reggie asked as if she was wishing for hope and salvation.
"I already told you, it's too late to take it away, the mana inside already activated the formations inside the crystal. In that sense, it actually helps the boy consume a fourth of what is now gathered mana. And if we take the crystal away now, it may be the reason for the mana inside to go berserk."
"Raygen some families that I know of used this method for some years to experiment but all of the kids died, well except for some lucky ones, but I think they also wish they died that day. The best result was that a female child lived through it but with a broken spirit weapon."
"If the boy wants to live, he must require three things. One, he should have a tough body, two, mana containers as big as I have now. And third, the luck that he has both number 1 and 2."
Silence covered the whole room after what he said. That is asking for the impossible. The child is a newborn baby, how tough can his body can be. As for the other one, an adult mana container on a child's, is just pure wishful thinking.
'A broken spirit weapon'. The mere mention of it made Raygen absent-minded for a moment before having a look of resolution. 'Then so be it… oh God please just let him live. I have no more face to show Marie if our son died today.'
Time slowly went, as they waited for the cocoon barrier to decrease its size. Raygen felt so much heartache as he saw his son get redder by the second. He cursed all the damn demons. This was their fault.
As for Grandma Reggie, her face paled for a long time now. Her guilt consuming her very slowly. Then she collapsed when she saw the young lord bleed from his nose.
'It's over'. Mister Ryou turned around with sadness. He felt so weak right now. He is very powerful, yes, but there are some things that he can't do also. 'Damn Demons'.
Raygen never gave up praying for his son. Until he sees him dead that there is hope to obtain. He even began to think of ways that he can possibly deal if ever his son survives but with a broken spirit weapon. ' Just live my son, please'.
They were all distracted that they didn't notice a small silver orb silently drifted from the outside and slowly entered the young lord's body. The boy's body gradually turn better. His red skin turned glossy white. The only thing that never changed was his bloody nose.
"My child… my boy… you're okay" as soon as the cocoon barrier disappeared, he saw his son still breathing and shouted in joy as he hugged him.
Mister Ryou was dumbstruck when he heard Raygen's cries of joy. 'How can this be?'… 'Hahahahahaha … a genius… a damn god is born today and I'm here as a witness.'
"Grandma Reggie… wake up… See… my child is okay… hahahahaha…" tears of happiness flowed as he tried to wake the old woman.
Grandma Reggie woke up a while later and saw the young lord crying with his father. She actually knelt down and begged for forgiveness.
"My Lord… I'm so sorry. Please punish me as you wish."
"What are you doing? Do you not see my son is here and well enough to cry his lungs out?" Raygen was so happy, he even teased the old woman.
"Mister Raygen, I'm sorry to break this to you, but I need to remind you of your state. Now that your son's life is safe, I have to undo the spell I casted." Mister Ryou suddenly said.
"Of course Mister Ryou… can we go to the military camp first so I can manage my troops first with the beast attack. I know that the formation is still working but making sure our defenses are sufficient is not a bad before going to the medical ward." Raygen requested.
Mister Ryou nodded. "If it's not too much, can I see your son's spirit weapon?"
"Yes, definitely." He transferred his son to Mister Ryou.
"oh it's in his left hand". 'A water element Sword huh, a huge hole at the center of it. But it seems it is part of the design because I can still see the spirit line connected'. "Well, I can say that his spirit weapon definitely is not broken." A smile appearing at his face and Raygen's face.
He returned the boy to his father. Raygen retrieved a blanket in his bracelet and covered the child and walk back to his wife's side.
No one saw it but the huge hole on the sword suddenly gave off a silver light inside for a brief moment before returning from its original state.
