《Epic of The Demonic Sage 》Chapter 25: Healed
Advertisement
Lucius watched as the priest walked up to him and placed his hand over his head. A bright white light came from his hand and slowly started to spread all over his body.
Lucius who was well versed in the use of mana and mana circuits could tell that this was indeed quite different from normal magic. It was technically achieving the same thing, but through an alternative method. A peculiar energy was released from the hand of priest Josef and spread into Lucius's body.
It seemed to be similar to that of the one that the healer had done, but this one seemed to be significantly more potent. Lucius closed his eyes as well, focusing on the condition of his body as he felt it improve rapidly.
The first to heal were the wounds that he had. Most of them had already healed over the month, but there were still some that needed a while more. Then came his internals, where he started to feel an increase in the sensation of the body.
First came a tingling sensation and then pain, but that washed away soon, replaced by a feeling of calmness.
After this, Lucius could feel his limbs better and knew that he would be able to move them with no problem now. Still, he realized that his five senses were in disarray even now and had not been fixed. The light from the priest's hand stopped, and a frown appeared on his face.
Lucius opened his eyes and lifted his right hand. Kiana and the rest saw this and marveled at this miracle.
"Amazing! Lord Asher can move again." Kiana said, while her eyes turned red.
Lita had a similar reaction, but when she saw the frown on Josef's face, she couldn't help but feel anxious once again.

"Is there something wrong, priest Josef?" Lita questioned.
Kiana and the others went silent and finally understood that not all was good right now.
"No, madam Lita. It seems that the injuries of Young lord Asher were much more serious than I expected. I was able to heal his paralysis, but I cannot fix the injuries that his brain has sustained. They are… rather strange, and I haven't seen anything like that before." Josef said.
Lucius looked on, as he understood the gist of the priest's word. He was the one who knew his condition better and also what the priest was perceived as brain damage. This was nothing but the damage caused due to the incompatibility of the soul and the body and why he was unable to use more than two senses at once.
His sense of touch was always active, but he could only choose one of the other senses to use together with it. Usually, he alternated between his eyesight and ears to gain information, but this still caused him to lose a lot of information in between.
"Even you can't heal it, priest Josef?" Lita questioned, tears threatening to drop from her eyes as she clutched the hem of her dress.
Priest Josef shook his head and spoke, "I'm afraid not… this is beyond my skill with the divine gift of Alana."
Kiana bit her lip as she looked at Lucius in sorrow. Lucius still had a calm expression on his face and did not seem bothered by it though. The people thought this was due to his brain damage as priest Josef had said, but it was not true. Rather, Lucius was truly not bothered by it.
He was already content that his paralysis had been cured. For the rest of the problems, he had confidence that he would be able to solve them himself. All he needed was some money and a bit of time. Both of which he had in plenty due to his status.

Lucius still couldn't speak, otherwise he would have already told them to stop bothering about him, but a person who had been rather silent since the start suddenly stood up.
"Let me take a look." The older priest said.
Josef had a slightly stunned look on his face and spoke, "are you sure high priest Rooks? We were only given a tithe enough for one healing session."
"It does not matter, I'm curious too and want to see what kind of a problem you've come across. I shall forgo the tithe this time." Priest Rooks stated.
Now it was the turn for others to be shocked. They had never heard that a priest would forgo a tithe like that so casually, that too a high priest who they had never expected to be here at all.
"Let me take a look, and see what's wrong with you child," Rooks said.
He had a genial smile on his face, something which Lucius had seen many times before. It was the same smile that disgusted him when he saw the priests of Thara sacrifice themselves. They would keep the same smile on their face as they walked to their deaths.
Had it not been for his experience, he would have scoffed at it.
The old priest did the same thing as Josef and placed his hand on the head of Lucius. A bright light came from his hand too, but this time it was yellow in color.
Lucius could feel a similar energy traveling into his body, but this time it was much more contained and targeted his brain instead. There, it began saturating each of his cells and they rapidly started healing. There were fine injuries that were invisible to the eyes caused due to the incompatibility of the body, but even they were healing.
Lucius finally showed a shocked expression as he saw his entire understanding of soul incompatibility injuries being changed.
Unlike Josef, Rooks took about two minutes longer and kept his eyes closed during the entire process. He finally lifted his hands and took a tired breath.
"This is indeed something I had not expected to see here…" Rooks said.
"What was the problem High priest Rooks?" Josef questioned.
"This poor child was cursed," Rooks revealed.
"WHAT!?"
