"Lee, you cannot save everyone. You need to pick one, either me or Rahu!" Victor's eyes were flowing with tears.

"Victor! Do you even have the faintest idea how hard it is for me to choose between one?" Lee's eyes were wide open he was so emotional at the moment. ​​

"What the fuck are you two talking about?"

"Huh!" all three of us were shocked because it was Rahu who just spoke something. His voice was low and his eyes were just slightly opened, he was talking subconsciously.

"Rahu! are you okay?" as Victor saw him talking, he forgot about everything. He held his hand and cried.

"Let's go inside, my body is burning!" He again spoke something. The condition he was in was so critical and he was talking like he was sleep talking. Indeed, he was a strong person.

Victor glared at Lee with eyes saying only one thing "save him," "Lee, save him please just save him, forget about me."

"Fine, I have decided. I don't know how I am going to forgive myself for this, but I know every simple decision requires the strongest will."

"Lee! WAIT!" At that very moment, something clicked in my mind. I was glad that I was not late.

"I have an idea!"

"Idea? what kind of idea? What can we do in this situation, we are helpless." He looked at me with a look that was filled with hope.

"Do you remember during my battle with Basilisk, I used my devil ability?"

"Yeah, so what about it? How can we use it in this situation?" Victor asked desperately asked me.

"It is cloning. What if we use it to get everyone inside the infirmary at once? I mean, I can create two of my clones to carry Victor and Rahu."

"That's an outstanding idea. But, It'll deplete too much of your mana, and using clones can affect your actual body too. It can lead to three infected people instead of two and if the situation comes to this, I would have no other option than saving you." Lee was thinking about the future outcomes, under so much stress. I did not know how he kept a calm head in such frustrating situations.

"Lee, at least we'd be near some people. We will have a chance to ask for help. It's still better than leaving one behind."

"Kai, we must hurry his pulse is getting weaker, he's losing consciousness the more we waste the time, the fewer chances we will have of saving him." Victor was calm now. He had prepared himself for the worst outcome.

"CLONING!" I screamed my soul out while concentrating my remaining mana on creating clones of myself.

As I chanted the spell, two of my clones came out of my body. They looked exactly just like me, just a bit translucent, maybe because of my low energy.

I was able to control them through my mind, felt like I hypnotized myself. One of my clones grabbed Rahu and the other one got Victor on his back.

We were again running with hope in our hearts, while on my way, I felt everything happened just because of me. Rahu was about to die. Victor would have sacrificed his life, and all because of me. I was wondering about it when Lee called me...

"Kai, are you okay, you're not feeling numbness or dizziness?" He was worried about me because I had everything on my shoulders and I had put my own life at stake and he didn't want to see me die again. We were still far from the populated area of the palace. So, I lied to him.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Just keep running we can save Rahu, don't worry about me." I assured him so he doesn't feel pressured.

"Ahh, my legs are getting worn out..."

"Lee! Rahu! He passed out. He fainted. We must hurry! I don't want him to die." Victor cried.

"We will save him, Victor. He is a strong bastard he won't die without a fight. I know him. Huh!"

"Victor, we made it I can see people there."

After finding some people, their speed and energy increased tenfold and in just a minute or two, they arrived at the building.

Victor yelled at a maid who stood there. "GET A FUCKING HEALER AND CALL THE GUARDS, WE HAVE A SITUATION HERE."

In no time, a healer arrived at the location. He put Rahu and Victor on a stretcher and took them inside the infirmity,

"Kai! We made it, you did it. Hey Kai, aren't you glad?"

"Hey, reply to me. Kai? Kai?"

The look of happiness on Lee's face suddenly turned into a frown of worry. Got Kai off his back and rested him on the ground. His body was blue, his breath was low. Something happened to him and Lee did not know what.

"Kai! Kai! Kai! Brother, wake up…"

"SOMEONE GET A FUCKING HEALER HERE, YOUR KING IS DYING."
