"Wha-what just happened ?" said Walker staring at the woman who is now lying unconscious on the ground mixed with a large pool of blood under her.
Even now he couldn't understand what just occurred, he only used skill "Cleanse" to erase drug effect but who knows as if something exploded inside of her body, a woman has begun to puke large amount blood then dropping on the ground after some twitch she stopped the move.
There is no way "Cleanse" deal any kind of damage to anything except to some type of undead. Or is she a corpse user ?
"Walker watch out!" When Walker was in deep thought, he heard a sudden shout. Immediately he performed a roll to his right with all of his strength without even checking what is coming towards him. As a result of his unsightly roll ruined his suit, but he kept his life as Walker saw a shadow running past him while leaving claw mark on his shoulder.
It was Zipp rushed to Leona's side seeing her drop on the ground completely ignoring, Rose. As a result, there is blood dripping out from a large wound right above the dog's shoulder.
Zipp comes close to Leona with gentle steps, standing in his master's pool of blood. He touched his master with his nose cone dry from previous fight wishing for her to wake up as usual. But she didn't move. With a sad whimper, Zipp licked his master's face, but again there was no reaction.
It was a sad scene that made people forgot the previous thing that Leona about to strip someone naked in public and begun to give a cold look towards Walker and Rose as if they are criminals.
"To think the Hero Association kill a hero just returned."
"I bet they are controlled by the government's greedy pigs like other things and robbing from people just returned from another world in the name of "Finding their home"."
"Yeah or else how are they providing that equipment and skills. I bet that agent used the hidden skill while shouting different name or else how could that person throw up that much blood. "
Just like a single spark dropped on dry leaves, one after another people began to talk about rumours or things they heard from the internet.
Hearing the talk between people a cold sweat has begun to gather on Walker's back as realizing he fucked up.
"N-no, I really used the 'Cleanse'," said Walker tried to explain but his speech cut short by Rose.
"Idiot quickly call the medic and person with a skill that can communicate beasts or else she really gonna die!" said Rose as she tried to put a healing potion to Leona, but she blocked by Zipp who is now with red eyes ready to pounce to anyone who got close.
"Oh, Right!" Walker quickly reached towards his pocket and took out his phone calling to headquarters asking for the help.
Stolen story; please report.
*SIgn*
She took the deep sign as knowing after all of this there, is no way this dog will let her or anybody close to his master until his dying breath.
If only she didn't rush toward that girl, with her lantern this would never happen. Why she did that? Also, what is with that lantern and creepy language?
"Huh?"
While getting goosebumps from remembering creepy sounding spell cast by the woman she saw bright blue light shining on her from steel lantern thrown on the ground it was showing the reaction just like it's on a girl called, Charlotte.
With growing curiosity, Rose decided to 'borrow' it and return to a woman when after she woke up.
Thanks to its a strong network of Hero Association quickly sent personnel to retrieve the Leona and Kage's companions.

"Well, that is because 'Cleanse' counts as a blessing." said a man in a lab coat who looks like around his forty answered Walker's question of how his skill able to hurt someone alive.
"What is wrong with a blessing ?" Rose and Walker asked in curiosity.
"You know the difference between curse and blessing is that person can develop resistance against curse but not against blessing right?"
"Yes?" Walker replied as remembering after being targeted by constant curses person can develop a certain kind of resistance. But there is no such thing against blessing because a blessing is a 'blessing'. The body tries to take in more of its effects. There is no resistance to blessings. There’s no way the body would refuse to take in blessings cause it's good for your body.
He spoke while pointing toward's Leona's room.
"I thought, I seeing corpse not an alive person when I saw her first. Behind her armour she was just skin and bones it was a miracle that she stood while wearing that kind of armour. Then while we checking her body we found an unknown drug in her blood and along with a ten small bottle that full of unknown shiny blue dust. It was clear that all thanks to that unknown drug she able to move ignoring her body's condition"
The man took out of his cigarette from his chest pocket light it up and took a smoke. After some pause, he continued.
"Drug it didn't heal her body it is just suppressing it so just became like ticking time bomb. Then on a moment she hit by your 'Cleanse' her body tried to receive the blessing much as it can but as a result of its completely erased drug's effect. And without drug's suppression anymore bomb just exploded. We tried taking a sample from the drug but her dog couldn't let staff toucher her stuff anymore so we have no choice to wait for her to wake up. "
