“It hurts!” said Veron weakly.
“It hurts so bad! Am I dying Debra?” asked Veron. Her tone clearly softened after clearing up the misunderstanding.
Debra took a deep breath and tried to comfort Veron, “Don’t worry, I swear that i” ll save you!”
Debra racked her brains, trying to recall anything that might help Veron. However, there’s nothing that Debra could think of to help pull herself out of this situation at hand.
Veron saw the desperation in Debra’s eyes, she finally understood that there was nothing Debra could do too.
Veron could not help but think to herself ‘Is this my fate? Am I destined to die here?’
Veron could clearly feel how the poison was numbing her vital organs, she could feel her blood losing heat and there was an unknown source of pain coming from somewhere from her body.
Veron finally could not take it anymore and she writhed around in pain, thrashing on the floor.
Debra was shocked by Veron, “Veron! Are you okay?”
Suddenly, the iris of Veron turned a sickly green. It was as if she was possessed by something.
Debra could not have known that the poison was already affecting Veron’s nervous system and she was slowly but surely losing her grip on reality.
Before Debra could react, Veron suddenly sat up, her hand shot out, and grasped Debra’s hands.
Debra, without her internal energy, was no different from a normal person. There was no way she could have reacted in time to dodge Veron’s sudden actions.
“Miss Lange, calm down,” said Debra.
Debra shook her head and said, “Miss Lange, don’t give up just yet, there’s still hope!”
“I know myself better than anybody! Don’t feel sorry for me. You are doing me a favor, by making sure that my death is meaningful,” said Veron.
“You too know that this poison would slowly affect my brain. If I were to lose control of myself, not only will I die, but you too would be hurt by me. This is my dying wish, for you to accept all my internal energy. You wouldn’t be so cruel as to deny a dying woman’s final wish, would you?” asked Veron calmly.
Veron knew that there was no other way.
Debra took a deep breath, she knew that this was the reality she had to face.
“Miss Lange, you should know that my elixir field was destroyed. Unless you have any way to repair it, there’s no way I could receive any of your internal energy,” explained Debra.
Veron stopped Debra and said, “Debra, here’s where you are wrong. There’s a secret method passed down in the Hidden Hero Sect, it’s called ‘Reversal of the Universal Powers’. Even if you are a normal person, with this method, you could receive the full power of the person before you!”
