Chapter 141 Symbols
\'Why is it spreading now? Did something happen?\' Kye thought in hurry. He couldn\'t understand how the monsters became stronger so suddenly. \'Is it because the monsters sensed that something was wrong, thus they are acting more rashly? But they shouldn\'t be intelligent monsters, right? Or is there someone behind them?\'
He looked at the surrounding and saw a young boy wriggling in pain on the ground.
"Kye help him, please." Sylvia was the first to come back to her sense and asked Kye for help.
Kye rushed towards the boy and knelt beside him. The boy was clutching his stomach and moaning in agony. Kye gently lifted the boy\'s shirt and saw deep claw marks on his abdomen. He had seen similar injuries before but not as severe as this.
Some of the students he healed during the day had some scratching marks because of themselves. But now it looked as if the claw marks were coming from the inside.
Kye quickly realized that something was wrong. The monsters had never attacked humans with such ferocity before. They usually kept to themselves and only infected them slowly, but it looked like they went rampant now.
\'But how such tiny parasites managed to make such big marks?\' He thought as he started purifying the boy\'s body. His holy power illuminated the area, killing the monster instantly.
[500 EXP has been earned]
\'500? Wasn\'t it 300 earlier? Did they really become stronger?\'
Kye didn\'t stop using purify on the boy. Even though the monster died, he needed to stop the hemorrhage.
Everyone looked at him in awe. It was as if an angel has blessed Kye. The golden color continued spreading around, slowly healing the boy whose expression started to become better as time passed.
Kye was relieved when the boy\'s injuries started to heal. However, his mind was still racing with questions. He knew that the monsters\' sudden aggression was not normal, and he needed to find out what was causing it.
As he finished healing the boy, Kye stood up and surveyed the area. The monsters seemed to be everywhere. If all the monsters started to go on a rampage, then it would cause grave consequences. Many would, without a doubt, die.
"Yugo, go and bring the teacher here, it\'s urgent." Kye ordered him.
"What? Why?"
"Don\'t ask and trust me, please." Kye asked with a calmer tone, making Yugo nod his head before using his ability to go faster.
"Lidi, make the airflow in the area. We need to let people breathe fresh air."
"Okay."
"Enzo and Ven, bring me as many students as possible, please. I\'ll start healing them."
"Roger." Both of them felt the urgency in his voice and agreed immediately.
"And Sylvia, please check on the students as well and clean their injuries with your water, please."
Sylvia nodded and quickly went to help the other students who were injured.
Kye started moving toward the other students, using his holy power to purify their bodies and heal their wounds. He could feel the monsters\' presence inside their bodies the more he healed the students, whereas he couldn\'t earlier. It only meant one thing. They were now strong enough for him to feel their presence, but he knew he had to focus on saving as many people as possible before trying to find the root cause of the monsters\' sudden increase in strength.
As he moved from one student to another, Kye noticed something new again.
Some of the students had strange symbols on their bodies that seemed to be glowing faintly. It was the first time he had seen such symbols on humans.
\'What are these symbols? Are they related to the monsters?\' Kye wondered.
He made a mental note to investigate this further later on. But for now, he had to focus on healing the students and finding a solution to the monsters\' sudden increase in strength.
Kye could feel his energy draining as he continued to heal the injured students, but he didn\'t stop. He couldn\'t stop until he was sure that everyone was safe. It was his good-natured talking as he didn\'t want to see people die because of the monsters. Even though he didn\'t know most of them, he just couldn\'t bring himself to abandon them as more and more students started to whine in pain.
Thankfully for him, a teacher arrived thanks to Yugo\'s wrapping gate. And even more fortunately, it was Tarica who came. "What\'s happening, Kye?" Tarica asked the moment she saw him with a pale face.
Kye turned toward her and smiled in delight. "Teacher, you\'re here." He stood up, but stumbled as he saved many students already and started to fall.
Tarica moved so quickly toward him that it looked like she went faster than light and managed to catch Kye. "Why are you so pale? Did you use all of your energy?" She asked urgently.
"Yes, something like this." He smiled before quickly briefing her about the situation. Tarica listened carefully and immediately took action.
"Kye\'s friend, come here right now," She ordered them, and as if their bodies moved on their own, they all ran toward her. "Bring Kye away from this mess, I\'ll deal with this situation." Before they could even answer, 6 spheres of light appeared out of thin air and stay by Kye and the other\'s side. "Those spheres will protect you from any type of virus. Now go and stay in one room only."
She didn\'t wait for their answers and Tarica immediately went organizing the students and instructing them on what to do. The students saved by Kye earlier did as they were told. They were so surprised and in awe of Kye\'s powers that they followed Tarica\'s instructions without question.
As they were heading to a safer area, Kye\'s mind continued to race with questions. He couldn\'t shake off the feeling that there was something more going on with the sudden increase in the monsters\' strength and the appearance of strange symbols on the students\' bodies.
Kye knew he needed to find answers to these questions if he wanted to prevent any more harm from coming to the students and the people of the city. He was determined to get to the bottom of this and stop the monsters from spreading any further.
As they reached their room, Kye\'s friends helped him to a bed to rest. Kye was exhausted from using his powers so much to heal so many people, but his mind was still racing with questions.
"What\'s happening, Kye?" Enzo asked, looking worried.
"I don\'t know. I\'ve never seen the monsters act this way before. It\'s like they suddenly became more intelligent and aggressive." Kye replied, still trying to make sense of the situation.
"Could it be because of the symbols on the students\' bodies?" Ven suggested.
"Did you see it as well?" Not only Ven nodded, but the others as well. "I don\'t really know. I\'ve never seen anything like that before either." Kye said, feeling frustrated.
"What are you going to do?" Sylvia asked, looking at him with concern. Knowing Kye\'s character, she knew that she wouldn\'t stay idle in this situation.
"I\'m going to investigate. I need to find out what\'s causing this and put a stop to it." Kye said, determination in his voice.
"But you\'re exhausted, Kye. You need to rest." Lidi said, looking worried. Everyone thought the same thing as her.
"I know, but I can\'t rest until I know that everyone is safe," Kye said, sitting up on the bed. "I need to find out what\'s causing this and stop it before it\'s too late."
