"You just said that my daughter is gonna die and I could have you hanged for it. But that would mean that I'd be losing a talent and I'd be incurring the wrath of your mother since I myself may not be able to handle her wrath."
The demon king scanned me from top to bottom then said "first you can just call me Klye. Also, your eyes seem to be covered in a sort of cover. But you aren't supposed to be able to control energies. Interesting. From the sight of it, it seems you have some knowledge regarding my daughter's case. As a father I request to have her condition checked."
Then I noticed that it was a request and not an order. If he had just ordered me to help her, I would have no choice but to check her condition but a request meant I could decline.
Of course, I didn't, her condition though opposite to mine seemed to collect the same amount of animosity and envy from people. I could understand how she'd feel.
I stepped down from the terrace and went towards her. Then I also noticed the maid standing behind her. She had 4 symbols and could clearly out power me. But she took a step back and allowed me to check her condition. I took the girl's hand and let my envelope travel her veins. I could see that the energy overload was nearing breakdown any moment.
If she isn't treated any sooner then her latent energy overload will occur and lay waste to not just the Drachion Duchy but also beyond the plains turning It into a total waste land. I wonder why Klye didn't do anything about it. With his powers he could've extracted all that energy and use it for himself or he could've just prevented the energy overload entirely instead he chose to give the opportunity to me which I entirely didn't like.
Best case scenario if I succeeded, I wouldn't be killed and maybe my mum would praise me and I'd have saved a life while worst case scenario is blatantly obvious, though this area might not be erased from the map due to both the demon king Klye and my mum being here along with other experts I'd be royally screwed while definitely be hung or executed like a poor lamb.
The thought gave me the heebie-jeebies. So, I had to be careful while examining her. I ran back to the terrace to Klye and requested a bunch of items like a mortar and pestle, some medicinal herbs and a flame energy user. I first grinded 300 g of Dragon tail with 150 g of Zachary nectar. Then poured some Inteli water and burned the entire solution. Take note that I burned the concoction and not just heated, of course you guys won't understand the ingredients I've used.
The "boiling medicine" is what its named, created by a master medicinal around 10 centuries ago. He was an assassin who had his experiences with death and had to often heal himself up. He recorded all his life experiences in a book "Dying Saph" and sold it off apparently. This medicine was often his go to in assassination but also his go to in healing. When burnt enough this life taking medicine could instead heal the patient up to be fit as a straight stick.
I dipped a needle in the medicine then inserted the needle into her shoulder. This was also called as the energy dispersing poison capable of dispersing the energy of even King level energy users.
Right, I need to explain the energy user levels huh. Do I, I guess I do. Well, The Absolute -> Legend -> King -> Minister -> Soldier.
The 5 levels of energy users. For one to jump from one energy level to another would require a fuck ton of energy and to have all that energy dispersed is the trick of the poison turned medicine. For now this medicine can work wonders on this girl who has an overflowing amount of energy. What I hadn't predicted was the immense convulsions she'd undergo. Even her slightest movement can cause heavy damage around us. Those suffering from the Energy overload often have restricted movements because it can create shockwaves spanning around 30 Km destroying the area, so her convulsions were something I had to control I tried to hold her hands. The maid and servants also tried but to no avail. She was reaching her limits. I had to do something fast, her eyes fluttered open for once and I could see her pain through her blood dipped eyes.
The only other way I knew to take out the energy, I had to do it or I'd be dead. I kissed her. I could feel the blood lust from the terrace but I had no choice.
I sucked out the energy and then gulped it down like it were bitter medicine. I could feel the energy dispersing medicine working its way throughout her body cutting of any form of energy. Then at her core a war occurring between the medicine and her internal energy. It was chaotic. I kissed her again and sucked out a bunch but this time I spat it out. The stagnant energy unused had become toxic to the point it melted the place where I spat. I did this a few more times till the convulsions stopped.
I fell down as I sat on my dead ass. I knew what was coming, the blood lust kept increasing as the demon king now a man in his 40s, wearing a full white coat. The coat seemed to pull me in. The coat suit was entirely made from a special fabric, if I remembered correctly it was made from the shell of a 1000-year-old dragon's scales. Able to withstand heat and cold to extremities. Nothing could scratch it nor hurt it and yet my former brother had managed to defeat this beast.
As Demon king Klye walked towards me, I could feel his blood lust lowering. It was only then did I notice that the entire room was almost empty with the only people left being me, the king, my mum, my brothers, my father, and the servants.
And when I looked up, the moon light was shining upon me as the roof was entirely torn from the shockwaves from her overflowing energy. The demon king then kept his hand on my back and instantly I spat out some remnants of the toxic energy.
The ground hissed once more and died down as I tried to stand up and instantly fell back. My mum walked towards me and held me in her hands as she cried. This was only the second time I saw her crying and I knew I loved her and my family. my brothers stood there grinning with a thumbs up while my father said nice going.
The demon king Klye kept his hands on his daughter's back and his eyes widened probably due to the absence of all that abundant energy all gone now but of course unlike my case it can easily built again.
"You have definitely saved my daughter though I could've done that myself, I had to test you. It was interesting the method you used resembled the energy dispersing poison used by a famous assassin of ancient. Oh well you did save my daughter Mary. At the same time (bloodlust rises) you did kiss her. I don't know what to say though."
I knew I was fucked but then he said "I'll let it off the hook. Though since u did wanna see the number of symbols I held, I'll show you." And instantly the entire household fell to the ground except me. On his shoulder burned 10 symbols. Even my mum had to take a knee. I was surprised but since I had an energy void, I wasn't affected by the energy wave that hit.
