“Iyaaarrrrh!” One of the monsters growled, feeding off the immense fear oozing out of Annabelle's body. Annabelle noticed that all the monsters left what they were doing and began to come for her because she looked afraid. She remembered Sean's words calling her useless, and how Lynda had been contributing the most despite being the youngest, and how Lynda was never afraid of dying, making her look like a failure. The waves of anger were immediately ignited in her heart and she stared at the monsters coming to feed of the easy game which was her with resentment. She quickly unsheathed two long swords and activated her armor's double layer protection property. Annabelle smirked at them and waved her sword around with her legs spread out in a balanced fighting stance. The monsters noticed the change in her and paused for a while, hesitating to know what suddenly made her brave. She chuckled coldly at their hesitation, her lips curling up in an evil smirk and she felt a sudden spurt of

Against all expectations and natural laws, Lynda appeared beneath Anthony and caught him to cushion his fall. She fell to the floor, hugging his waist tightly, in a semi conscious state. “Big brother.” She muttered and hit the floor with Anthony still in her hands, simultaneously losing consciousness.“Little purple!” Sean whispered with tears in his eyes. “Why are you so stupid? Why sacrifice your life like this? How many times has it been? Why is it that you never learn your lessons? You're more humane than humans, sacrificing yourself time and again for them. And in the end, they end up betraying you. Little purple, must you always break my heart like this? What about your big sister who loves you more than life itself? It's already lucky that you managed to get rebirth and reawaken, why are you trying to die soon after?” Sean whispered caressing her face.He tried to move Anthony away from her body, but her grasp was too tight, making him smile wryly.“I'm not going to hurt him

Sean look at her and smiled sadly.“I don't know, but we will do our best.” He whispered, giving her a reassuring nod.“So the point of injury has been succesfully isolated, what should we do next especially as his immunity is low?” Annabelle asked, trying to be strong.“First of all, we eliminate the infected areas since they can't be treated, to avoid them eating deeper into the body. So we have to surgically eliminate that area and keep it wrapped in sterile materials. If it doesn't regenerate, then we will do skin grafting to cover his stomach and intestines up. Secondly, we will find a way to flush out the toxins that made their way to his blood stream, so that those bumps and infestation symptoms would reduce. Then, we find a way to remove them from the surface. Thirdly, we increase his body's immune system and energy to enable him push them out or kill them.” Sean said, while Annabelle analyzed his words mentally, nodding at intervals.“I really hope it will heal on its own. Ca

Annabelle took a deep breath, and mixed the herbs, deciding to forego the pheasant for now. “Hey! What's up there?” Sean shouted, noticing her humphed back. “There's this animal that's a crucial part of the antidote, but I have no idea how to incorporate it into the main herbal mixture.” She shouted back. Sean frowned for a while and shrugged. “We have to take a gamble. Bring me eighty percent of the herbal concoction, and keep twenty percent. Then prepare the meat solution with different herbs of similar detoxifying properties. Once it's done, we also reserve a certain percentage of the meat mixture. And we feed him the mixtures separately and watch him for fifteen minutes. If there's no improvement, we will then mix the two together and give it to him in batches. I just hope the reactions won't be too much for his body.” Annabelle pondered on his words and sighed. “Very well then, I think you have a great solution there.” She whispered, pouring the mixture into a decanter.

Sean placed his hand on her chest, right over the region housing her heart to check her heart beat. He frowned after a while and shrugged, sighing heavily.“I don't know why you're still like this, wake up already. Okay?” He whispered and kissed her cheek.Sean stood up and moved to the broader bed where Anthony was lying down. Apart from being pale, Anthony's unconscious face still retained his natural charisma, and beauty. His breath was rising and falling steadily as he slept.“Man, you've got to wake up. Those things down there are trying to pull down the walls and breach the inner city’s defense by all means. And I can't face them all alone. Lynda is also unconscious, and as for Annabelle, she's literally useless on a battlefield. So you see, you have to wake up now.” Sean whispered, and placed his hand on Anthony's head to check his temperature. He frowned and unbuttoned Anthony's shirt to examine the infestation sores on his body, carefully watching for any signs of change. “
