Blood Evolution System

Some minutes later, John and Vincent entered the room where Old Miller was examining the mysterious conditions of Leilani, who have fallen unconscious.

The moment he entered the room, Vincent spotted Leilani on the bed. After walking up to the side of the bed, Vincent looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze. In the next second, he was shocked to see wrinkles on the face of Leilani, and visible signs of aging were also vivid on her once youthful skin.

Vincent's eyes narrowed. "What's wrong with her? How come she has aged so much in mere hours?" he asked as he looked at Old Miller.

"I haven't found out the reason yet, but I think it's related to a sudden decrease in her life force. It will take a few minutes to examine her conditions and pinpoint what is wrong with her. So, stay silent and let me concentrate." Old Miller seriously said as his gaze swept past everyone else in the room.

'Please God, Don't let the worst become the truth.' John gulped as he stood by his sister's side with an expression of worry vivid on his face.

He feared that her health might deteriorate further.

He felt useless as he couldn't do anything to help her right now.

Sadness also swelled in his heart as Leilani was the only blood relative he had. If she were to die, he would indeed be left alone in this world.

Meanwhile, Old Miller scrutinizing gaze examined Leilani from head to toe before placing his fingers on her wrist and closed his eyes to see her internal structure using a unique technique that solely uses his magic power.

'Oh, so that's what's going on.'

After a while, Old Miller's expression changed. Leilani was inflicted with an exceptional condition known to a few select people, even in the entire world.

The change in his expression didn't escape Vincent, who was sizing up Old Miller. "You found out?"

"Indeed, I did." Old Miller proudly nodded. He was a supporter who mastered all three essentials of medic, after all.

As he said those words, John's eyes brightened in hopes.

Old Miller used to serve as a supporter in the vanguard battalion.

A supporter is an evolver who has learned one of the three fundamental supporting roles. 

There were many supporters in the streams of stars occupied by various races, yet there were only a few supporters that could be called good.

It wasn't easy to earn the qualifications of a good supporter as one needs to learn all three fundamental supporting to keep his comrades away from the scythe of the grim reaper. 

Old Miller had learned all three.

First, one needs to be able to create an inscription on the spot. In the past four months, Old Miler has taught Vincent the first fundamental of a supporter. 

The second fundamental is called [Medic].

A medic can evaluate ten thousand illnesses and even rare conditions that afflict evolvers. Some can do without equipment, while others need esoteric medical equipment.

Medic basic qualifications are to know about one hundred illnesses or ten rare conditions.

Old Miller's eyes narrowed as he looked at Leilani, who seemed to be growing old at a rate visible to the naked eye.

She was suffering from one of the many rare conditions that afflict an evolver.

"The main problem is exactly as I thought it to be. Leilani's life force is rapidly decreasing, and that's why she is aging by the second." Old Miller said with a grave expression.

Life force is present in all living beings throughout the universe. It's the fundamental force that allows life to exist, grow and flourish throughout the universe.

A person perishes once all of their life force is depleted.

"What do you mean? Why is her Life force depleting?!" John exclaimed in shock.

"Can you tell us in detail? Maybe there's a way for us to help her!" Vincent asked.

"She's becoming an evolved human through self-awakening. However, she's awakening two abilities at the same time. Her body is evolving, and she is producing organs that can channel energy. At the same time, she is producing ice ability cells and telekinesis ability cells in her body. Yet, the evolution process requires a huge source of energy."

Old Miller continued, 

"A person's life force can support the self-awakening of a single ability but not two at the same time. Only a handful of humans were able to survive such an ordeal without evolution resources."

"Leilani's life force is being consumed by the evolution process. She doesn't have any control over the evolution process, however. It would only end after she dies or successfully awakens to possess two abilities. Any type of intervention will just aggravate the situation, causing her life force to deplete at a faster rate. From the looks of it, if she is not provided with another suitable source of energy, she will die from life force depletion. That's the reason why her health is rapidly deteriorating, and she is aging," Old Miller said as Vincent thought about it.

'Normally, a person would only be able to draw out their latent ability in the face of danger or a life-threatening situation, and thus, become an evolved human. Moreover, only those with noble and royal blood are born with abilities. It's simply because ability cells are passed from one's parents to their child. Yet, Leilani is self-awakening two abilities at the same time. She is insanely talented. She will become a strong evolutionary in the future.'

Eagerness flashed through Vincent's eyes. Meanwhile, John, who had some knowledge of self-awakening, was insanely happy for his sister and also worried.

He was happy as his sister was going to gain an ability. Something that Leilani had always wished to possess.

However, she was in a life-threatening situation.

"Is there any way to help her?" Johm asked.

"I heard that energy extracted from beast cores help during self-awakening. Consumption of evolution material does the same," Vincent said before staring at Old Miller with a calm gaze. "What do you think?"

Ol Miller sighed, "That's the main problem. The evolution materials and energy cores related to ice and telekinesis ability are the only ones suitable for her to evolve; the rest will act as a poison for her. However, such things are so sporadic here that it's impossible to purchase them within a few weeks. Besides that, only life force can be used, but treasures with life force are the first ones to be bought from the market."

"Consumption of Life Force allows a person to increase their life span, after all."

Old Miller was able to diagnose Leilani's conditions because of his knowledge perfectly. Through the same knowledge, he concluded that the markets on planet Earth wouldn't have the evolutionary materials that Leilani needs.

Items with life force aren't easily purchasable on planet Earth, also.

Vincent's brows furrowed. He asked, "How much time does she have left?"

"Her life force will run out in one to seven days," Old Miller uttered the brutal truth without any remorse.

The news was too much to bear for Leilani's little brother.

John's happiness deflated, and he was further devasted. He fell to the ground, his head buried in his hands. She was his sister, and just the thought of losing her was killing him from the inside.

Vincent, on the other hand, pondered about how much they meant to him.

The past four months were enough to deepen their relation considerably.

He was reminded of John's confident laughter and Leilani's gentleness hidden behind the expression and cold face.

If nothing is done, she will die from life force exhaustion. The young boy might lose his smile, also.

Did he want to see that?

The answer was in his mind.

No!

A few moments later, Vincent decided to take a stand.

"Trust me. I will go to Silver Moon Island to obtain magical herbs filled with life force. Uncle, please keep her alive until I return with a magic herb that can help Leilani."

As soon as he said those words, gratitude filled John's heart. He said, "I will come with you."

To save his sister, John was ready to brace danger.

"You are going nowhere. Just stay here. Because having to protect you while fighting the beasts will be quite troublesome. Trust me on this one," Vincent harshly turned down John's help with a shrug.

He bit his lips and clutched his hands. He knew that although Vincent's words were harsh, they were true nonetheless.

The truth is, he was too weak. He will die without a doubt in Silver Moon island.

"If I can't be of any help, then I also won't be a burden. Brother, everything rests in your hands. Please save her." John said as Vincent nodded.

Old Miller shook his head and said,

"I can use my healing ability and nourish her body continuously body. I will do my best to keep her alive until your return, but you better not sacrifice yourself out there. If it is dangerous, then just return empty-handed. If something happens to you, I won't be able to show my face to my friends in the afterlife. Don't push yourself too hard."

He wasn't the main supporter of the 33rd vanguard battalion for no reason. He can heal both minor and life-threatening wounds by using his ability and even use major buffs on himself and his allies to increase their physical capabilities.

Moreover, the aspect of nourishing a body was far different than healing wounds, and that alone made him unique among healers.

However, he was poisoned in a battle that took place a few years ago.

The poison has invaded his energy circuit and energy channels.

Each time he uses his ability or magic power itself, the poison suppressed using suppressant seeps out of the cage and tries to kill him.

"Nothing will happen to me. You're the one who trained me, after all. I will go and prepare," Vincent said with a smile before walking out of the room, and he then headed straight to his room to equip himself with the equipment he purchased for the military academy entrance examination.

Old Miller, on the other hand, decided to decrease Leilani's discomfort and pain to the minimum degree.

"John, hurry up and bring me the health recovery serums stored in the third cabinet of the addict room." Old Miller said as he looked at John.

"Yes, Sir!" He dashed out of the room, heading up the stairs to go to the room where the medicines were stored.

A while later, John returned to Old Miller with heath recovery serums in his hand.

"Hopefully, this serum made from troll blood will provide her with enough life force to last for a while, and then I will use my ability till Vincent return." Old Miller said before applying the reddish-green serum over her body.

In the very next second, one could see the wrinkles on her body vanishing at a visible rate.

This serum was made out of troll's blood.

Old Miller created this serum while serving as a supporter in the vanguard army.

It could be sold for a good amount of price as it is used to heal severe and fatal wounds.

However, he used it on Leilani without a single moment of hesitation.

His actions just showed how concerned he actually was despite his lighthearted attitude.

'The effect of this potion will last for an hour or so. I only have three such potions. After three hours, I will need to keep on healing Leila using my ability until Vincent returns continuously.'

Upon mentioning his name, Old Miller's eyes brightened as he went out of the room and down the stairs to see Vincent off.
