Alex put away the remaining pill and the cauldron before moving toward the old man. He reached close to him, and even then he couldn't sense the death aura that well.
However, his eyes could see the black aura that drifted downward from all over his body. So, when he tried to sense it, he easily found it.
He went behind the old man and placed his palm on the old man's back. The old man flinched a bit and Alex moved back.
"I'm sorry, does it hurt?" he asked.
"It's fine, do what you need to do," the old man said as he gritted his teeth. Alex touched his back again, and despite the pain, the old man didn't flinch. Still, Alex could see the struggle.
"There's a lot of death aura," he said. "It might take some time."
"Time is all I have," the old man said through his gritted teeth.
