Chapter 11: The Past

Touching Kevin's panicked pale face, Du Yuhan smiled gently, "I'm here." ā€

Kevin was stunned.

The corners of Du Yuhan's mouth rose slightly, and the smile was as dazzling as the sun, like a warm current, gently touching his cold heart. Before he could think about it, a sharp pain came from his chest, and his breathing began to become rapid.

"Hmm! ā€•ā€•ā€

Watching Kevin roll in pain, Du Yuhan was anxious but at a loss. He didn't have Kevin's miraculous healing spells at all, and he wasn't a skilled doctor, so he could only stand by and be anxious except to say some comforting words.

Depend on! What's going on? Is there something wrong with it? Shall I call the school priest?

The college also had resident priests, but they did not usually live in the school dormitories, but only preached theology to students a few days a week.

It should be too late to find the priest now, right?

"Implications...... Han ......" Kevin groaned and groaned in pain, his fingers grabbed Du Yuhan's hand tightly, and even his fingertips began to turn white with such force.

"Don't be afraid! I'm here! You've got to hold on! Du Yuhan wanted to rummage around the room to see if there were any medicines such as healing potions, but unfortunately he was caught tightly by Kevin, so he could only sit on the edge of the bed and stare dryly.

"Woo! - "The pendant on his chest emitted a burst of light, and a sharp pain struck, Kevin was like a fish out of water, he desperately bent down to get out of the pain of the torment in his body, but he struggled a little weakly, and his limbs could only twitch slightly.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Du Yuhan found that as long as the pendant that Kevin was wearing on his chest flashed, he looked extremely painful, and the parts of his body wrapped in mist seemed to have been hovering below the pendant, and whenever those black breaths were about to spread upward, the pendant would emit a burst of strong light. Kevin struggled to touch the pendant with his hand, but every time he touched it, it immediately popped open, as if the pendant had a scorching temperature and was extremely hot.

It's like...... It's as if the pendant is suppressing the breath.

Looking at Kevin's painful face, Du Yuhan gritted his teeth, grabbed the pendant on his chest and pulled it hard.

"Ahh Kevin tilted his head suddenly, his whole body trembling slightly, and as the pendant was removed from his body, he snapped like a broken bowstring, and completely collapsed.

The moment the pendant was taken off left the body, the light completely dimmed.

Du Yuhan was also very nervous in his heart, he didn't know what the effect of this pendant was, and what the consequences would be after removing it, he only felt that this strange thing was the source of Kevin's pain.

Losing the power of the pendant's suppression, the black mist on Kevin's body began to spread all over his body, and after a while, he was covered with a strange black qi.

Seeing this, Du Yuhan felt his throat tight, for fear that something would happen to Kevin. even wants to activate his fighting spirit, learn from those martial arts novels, and transmit the internal force to the other party.

Although Kevin's whole body was wrapped in black mist, it didn't seem to be as painful as it was at the beginning, and he was just panting and trying to adjust his breathing.

After a long time, the black mist was gradually absorbed by Kevin's body, and the strange inky black on his body gradually receded. Although he still looked bloodless, except for a little tiredness, he seemed to feel much more comfortable.

"How? Is there anything wrong with it? Du Yuhan asked anxiously.

"Heh......" Hearing this, Kevin smiled lightly.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ What are you laughing at. ā€

"I think that sounds familiar." Kevin's voice was weak, but he was smiling.

"Uh......" Du Yuhan scratched his head embarrassedly.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.

"Well, I'll go pour you a glass of water." couldn't stand such an atmosphere, Du Yuhan ran out as if he was running away, and Kevin, who was left in the room, took a deep look at her back and thought about it.

Carefully helped Kevin to drink some water, and Du Yuhan asked him to lie down.

"Actually, I—" Kevin stopped talking.

"It's okay." Du Yuhan restrained the other party's words, "Have a good rest, and talk about it tomorrow." ā€

Staring at the other party for a long time, Kevin finally nodded his head lightly and closed his eyes, he was indeed a little sleepy.

Watching Kevin's gradual smooth breathing, Du Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief.

Boredom picked up the broken pendant and looked closely, in the middle was a sword-like decoration, the center of the sword was inlaid with a huge jade, the jade surface had some twisted symbols, he touched it, it didn't look like it was carved the day after tomorrow, but more like a natural growth.

Since his research on the ore is not deep, Du Yuhan didn't know what it was, but he didn't expect that it was this small stone that would bring Kevin such a great torment.

Waiting for the sleeping sick number, thinking about it for most of the night, Du Yuhan yawned, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

***********

The sky was slightly white, and the birds outside the window were staying in the treetops, chirping endlessly.

The fan-like eyelashes fluttered slightly, and Kevin woke up faintly.

After a night's rest, his complexion looked much better, but after last night's tossing, his brain was still a little dizzy.

After dinner last night, he sat in the prayer room meditating as usual, but his mind was full of tall and handsome figures. He smiled self-deprecatingly, it's all like this, what else can you expect?

Just as he was about to pray, suddenly his hands and feet began to feel cold, and a wave of power began to emerge from the bottom of his heart and began to spread throughout his body. Then he felt a hot force in his chest fighting against it, and the feeling was like a thousand ants biting, and he couldn't help it.

He knew that the energy in his body was starting to get out of control again, in order to hide people's eyes, he endured the pain of his heart and extinguished all the oil lamps, stumbled back to the bedroom, hoping to wait for the pain to be relieved as before, but unfortunately he was already exhausted when he walked to the backyard, and then ...... Then he was not impressed.

Kevin suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly looked around, and saw Du Yuhan at a glance, only to see him leaning on the chair, the low wooden chair back could not accommodate the tall body, the whole person could only barely spread out on the back of the chair, the resolute and stylish facial features looked a little childish at the moment, and the two sword eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, it seemed that this posture was not stable.

Looking at the man who had guarded him all night, Kevin smiled, his face was full of happiness and joy, like a budding pure white lotus, washing away the lead, and the moment it bloomed, it was amazing.

He knew, but he didn't leave.

He doesn't dislike his dirty self, he doesn't fear his evil self!

He's my friend, my ...... Friend......

My ......

Unable to hold back the joy in his heart any longer, Kevin reached out and grabbed Du Yuhan's hand.

Du Yuhan's palm is very large, the bone joints are prominent and slender, and the long-term holding of the sword makes the palm covered with a layer of calluses, which is a little rough to the touch, but very warm.

"Hmm...... Well? Du Yuhan, who was in a very light sleep, woke up when Kevin grabbed his hand, and his usually sharp eyes were filled with hazy water vapor at the moment, and he didn't seem to understand what this place was.

The dark eyes gradually focused, and seeing that Kevin had woken up, Du Yuhan sent a hearty smile, and the warm sunlight hit Jun's face, softening the sculptural outline. "Good morning."

Slightly stunned, Kevin showed a bright smile, and a happy and satisfied smile appeared in the depths of his eyes, "Good morning." ā€

Stretching his waist, his tense muscles were relaxed to the maximum, Du Yuhan carefully observed Kevin's expression, "Is your body better?" ā€

"Well, it's okay already." Kevin shook his head slightly.

"Hmm...... Are you hungry? I'll get you breakfast. With that, without waiting for Kevin to stop him, Du Yuhan got up and left the room.

After about a quarter of an hour, Du Yuhan came back with a large pile of steaming breakfast.

"Haha, I went early today, and there weren't many people. I specially asked my aunt to make two large bowls of milk, and it was still hot! Du Yuhan sent the pottery bowl to Kevin like an invitation, "Hurry up and drink it, there is cornbread or something, I took a lot." Just eat, it's enough! ā€

Looking at Du Yuhan's expectant eyes, Kevin, who didn't feel hungry yet, picked up the bowl and sipped it slowly.

Seeing that the other party was obediently eating breakfast, Du Yuhan was a little relieved.

Kevin looks in good shape, except for a little dirt under his eyes, and his fair face is gradually turning bloody, it seems that he was tossed enough last night.

And the appetite, it seems that there is no problem.

Under the supervision of Du Yuhan's eyes, after eating two pieces of black bread, a corn cob and a large plate of milk, Kevin burped and said that he could not eat any more, while telling the reason for last night.

Kevin comes from an aristocratic family, and both parents are not blessed by the family. But with his birth, the family had no choice but to admit his blood relationship, although he was often ignored by others, but he did not suffer much.

Originally, the story could have ended here, but a few years later, his biological father was found in his home, and his biological mother was missing. Later, the autopsy found that the clan was actually injured by the soul magic in the Secret Word Technique!

For the Luna cultists, shadow magic is the most evil and terrifying magic in the world, not only harming*, but also corrupting the soul and destroying it.

Various evidence shows that the woman killed her husband and then absconded in fear of crime.

As the most devout acolyte of the moon god, it is a great shame that the family was infiltrated by the dark minions, and there is actually a descendant of a dark witch, which is also a deep blasphemy against the goddess of the moon.

The patriarch was furious, and most of the people demanded that Kevin be given death to appease the moon god's wrath; Others argue that it is better for Kevin to still have the blood of the family in his body, and it is better to perform a purification ritual, if he can't survive and die, then it will be a hundred over, but if he can survive, then re-accept his identity.

As a result, the young Kevin was tortured to the death of various purification spells in various rituals, and several times he almost survived, but every time he felt that he was going to die, there was a force in his body that supported him to carry it hard.

He didn't know what kind of energy it was, but that didn't prevent him from using it. Under the strong survival instinct, with the support of this power in his body, although he has been living in a dark dungeon, he has survived.

Seeing that Kevin was still alive after undergoing various purification rituals, the family had no choice but to accept this anomaly. But in order to prevent the dark energy in his body from getting out of control, the family put on a spellstone pendant engraved with a seal.

Whenever the shadow energy in the body exceeds the threshold and begins to spread, the spell arabite will take effect, forming a small magic circle to suppress the shadow energy in the body.

He had also tried to remove the Spell Stone, but whenever he was about to break the chain, the pendant immediately activated the confinement magic, strangling his neck so tightly that he almost couldn't breathe, and after several attempts, Kevin had no choice but to give up. Anyway, this incantation aragonite will only activate when it is out of control, so it usually won't have much effect.

Out of fear of shadow magic, they even asked Kevin to learn divine spells, in order to have a certain control effect on the shadow energy in his body.
