Chapter 360 Only Ways

"Adora," Alix said as he tapped her on the cheek before looking around and lifting her up and placing her on the couch.

"What's the matter with her?" Nina inquired as they gazed at Adora, whose body began to heat up, and Alix's eyes narrowed as he drew her clothes a little, where her wound was, and his eyes widened along with the others when they saw the darkness surrounding her wound, and Alix gnashed his teeth.

"It's the reaper," Alix said.

"Let me take a look," Kyris replied as he approached Adora and began looking at the darkness which was spreading but slowly.

"It's.. It's been within her body since last night and it's acting like a poison," Kyris said and Serina sighed.

"This is not good, what are we going to do?" Serina asked.

"Can you fix this?" Zavis asked as Adora's mind went blank and she felt as if her body was being attacked by a force greater than herself, and Alix's eyes widened as he detected a heavy feeling emanating from Adora.

"I'm not sure, I don't understand anything about this and it won't let me try anything, look," Kyris responded as he placed his hand on the darkness, releasing a blue energy that was shot back at him and the others sighed.

"So he made sure to poison her, what the hell are we going to do now?" Zack asked as Ayden and Sarah looked at each other and Kyris stood up then looked at Adora.

"I am going to contact my brother, see if he can help," Kyris said and Alix tapped him on the shoulder and he glanced at him.

"What's the matter, Alix?" Kyris asked.

"Don't let him tell the king or the queen, I am pretty sure that she wouldn't want that," Alix responded and Kyris looked at Adora then nodded before moving aside to talk to his brother who answered the phone.

"How can I help you, bro?" Xemon asked and Kyris exhaled deeply.

"Ever heard of reaper poisoning?" he asked and his brother sighed.

"Yes, why? Is something wrong?" Xemon asked.

"Is the king or queen anywhere near you?" Kyris asked.

"No, they are not because I am in my office, did something happen that I should know about, Kyris?" he asked and Kyris looked at Adora.

"Yeah, Adora's been poisoned by the reaper and I can't heal it," he responded and Xemon sighed.

"Why are things always like this with you guys? How bad is it? Is she awake?" Xemon asked.

"It's not good and no, she is not awake, her body is literally burning up right now," he responded.

"That will only make it spread more, dump her in cold water or do something to keep her body from getting too hot and there is hardly any simple cure, you have to find a way to heal her, the cold will slow the process of the spreading," Xemon said.

"All right, don't hang up, we know what to do," Kyris replied as he approached the others and they looked at him.

"We have to keep her body cool, the hotter her body is-" Kyris said.

"The faster it spreads," Alix added and Kyris nodded, then Miran sighed before getting closer to Adora.

"I can use ice magic, get back a bit, I will cool her body down and cover the wound in ice, if it spreads beyond the ice we will know," Misran said and Kyris agreed as Misran took a deep breath and his eyes glowed light blue before raising his hands.

"Are you sure this will work?" Kyris asked.

"Yes, it will work, but you guys will have to take care of Adora as soon as possible or it will not end well for you guys, I think the only way is to pull the poison out then burn it," Xemon responded and Kyris gnashed his teeth.

"Is there a less painful way? Please think, bro," Kyris said.

"Yes, there is but that's also quite painful, you can burn it out of her using the black flames, it will dry the poison up," he replied and Alix heard and Kyris sighed.

"We will try the first option first, then consider the next, thank you, Xemon," Kyris said as Misran finished taking care of Adora and Alix glanced at her.

"It will keep her body cool, what should we do now?" Misran asked.

"Either pull it out of her then burn it, it will be painful or use the black flames to burn it out of her body, even more painful," Kyris responded as they exchanged glanced and Kyris glanced at Alix.

"What do you think we should do, Alix?" Kyris asked and Alix looked at him.

"I know they are both pretty painful ways, but it's that or let her suffer like this, we have no other option," Alix responded.

"Yeah, I know we don't, we will give the first one a try, let's see if that works, and if it doesn't, then the last option it is," Kyris said.

"Fine with me, we just have to get this done fast though, who knows what might be going on within her right now," Alix replied and Ifrit glanced at him before returning his to Adora and sighing.

Adora found herself looking at one of her past dreams, one she didn't like remembering, and her heart rate began to spike, causing her body to produce more heat. When Alix sensed it, he flinched, and the others looked at her body, and Misran's eyes widened as he began to generate more cold air around her.

"Why is her body pushing back my magic? This is not right," Misran said and Adora body heat got hotter and Alix gnashed his teeth.

"There is something wrong with her, it could be from the poison, if we are going to do this, we have to do it now," Alix replied and the others agreed.

Adora could hear them talking, but all she could feel in her body was pain. She knew she had to fight back against the poison, but she was being forced to the ground, so she made the decision to fight back in order to help herself get up while the others got ready to assist her in the only way they knew how.
