Alcherial Mansion

A week has passed since the battle ended.Hanshen was still unconscious because of the fight. You can see him in one of the most magnificent rooms in the mansion.

Hanshen’s mother together with his older sister that looks a lot like his mother was beside him.

All the time they didn’t leave Hanshen’s room and try to comfort him since he got a fever after healing from the battle.

He almost died if not for the ruler saving him.

Visitors were not allowed to enter, even well-known elders from other kingdoms around the world do not have permit to enter in his room.

Fargo was seen guarding the door and sleeping there.

A middle aged man was seen walking with two beautiful ladies that seem to be going inside the room. Fargo stands up and let them in. They were the doctor and his attendants that have checked up Hanshen’s condition.

“Good morning, my ladies. Madam, I am here to tell that the results of the tests that we have conducted to him are now finished.” The man said.

“Good morning. Tell us that he was okay please!” His mother said with worries in his face.

“Madam, don’t worry. We have a problem but I assure you he will live. Here are the results.”

“What’s the meaning of this? Please explain to us.” His mother said asking the doctor.

“As the results are saying, he would live but for the time being he would not be able use his spirits and magic. He was okay and…” The doctor answered.

Unable to finished talking, he was interrupted by Lyra Alcherial, Hanshen’s mother.

“Are you telling me he can’t train anymore?! When would he be able to recover and use spirit and magic again?! How can he become immortal?! If he could not cultivate his spirit and mana what can he do?! What would he do?!” His mother asked the doctor angrily.

“My lady please calm down. I would explain.” The doctor try to calm down the lady.

“How can I calm down?! After hearing this?!” Lyra Alcherial said.

“Mother, please wait for him to finished explaining.” Hanshen’s sister followed.

“Okay, Okay. Explain it properly so we can understand what to do.” His mother nodded.

“Because of using powerful magic and spirit, his body was greatly damaged. He was lucky that he was still alive. Maybe this day or within this week he would regain his consciousness.

As we have learned, he used an ancient incantation that only powerful gods can use, by using it and losing control his veins and arteries were damaged if not for the acupuncture technique of the ruler he would be dead now.. All of his spirit and mana were used.

We also learned that his spirit and mana cores were severely affected. Luckily it didn’t break completely. But being damaged it would take years for him to completely heal and recover. With his great regeneration ability maybe it would take him a decade or two to be able to use his spirit and magic again.”

The doctor explained.

“Are you saying that he would not become immortal? How come that… What can we do? What can he do now?” With worries Hanshen’s mother asked.

“Mother, please calm down. The doctor is still not finished explaining.” His daughter is by her side and tries to calm her down.

“I’m afraid to say this but you’re guess is right. He would not be able to reach immortal for now but he would be if he would be able to overcome this. He would be able to practice again and train to become immortal once his mana and spirit cores were completely healed.

As for now we don’t know what kind of way for him to heal completely. Also he could not use high leveled artifacts that use spirit and mana. We learned that he used forbidden technique; he used an orb to make an aura thus damaging him. All his artifacts were used to its limit and ending it broken. It was our first time experiencing a situation like this.

All of his artifacts were broken. I’m afraid to say this but we can’t do anything for him and what can he do from now on is unthinkable. But don’t lose hope he was great and still alive. Many things will still happen to him.”

The doctor continued and after hearing this Lyra Alcherial cried a lot. She blames herself.

“Why did this happen to him? Out of all the people; if not for our mistake he would not misunderstood all the things. All the things that happened to him, it’s my fault. When he was born as the weakest in our family history he was mistreated. He suffered. How can this happen to him? My son, my poor son. Why?”

His older sister named Sheanelle hugged their mother comfortingly. Then someone walks in, with a powerful calm aura you can see sadness in his eyes.

“It was not your fault mother. It was my fault; it’s my fault for not recognizing him sooner. Don’t cry mother. I’m sorry.” He said.

“I promised you mother I’ll protect him now. I, Halewin Alcherial as his brother swear to the Almighty Lord that my words were true. Until he was completely healed no storms can even harm him. I’ll protect him, over my dead body.” The young man said confidently.

A silhouette in his back can be seen beside the open door. It was “The Ruler”, one of the master of Halewin Alcherial in Great Gods School.

Till now I can’t forget that day. He was the only person that I’ve seen to use the artifacts in its limit and to the point that it breaks down, such mastery. Even the master of artifacts, King Zandria can’t use artifacts in such level. And that boy also knew Ancient incantation that even my power can’t overrule. The Ruler thought.

Because of the fight in the mansions that Hanshen Alcherial displayed, many gods see that artifacts can be used in such mastery. They looked in awe when they heard that Hanshen was still not at King level but give them a hard time.

Imagine a kid holding a knife, running and stumbled upon a rock then accidentally killing a man. They view artifacts in a different way now. Even the weak can defeat the strong by its own way and mastering ones ability.
