CHAPTER 408
Kayson’s figure disappeared, and by the time he reappeared , he was 32 feet away from his original spot. Since he could only move in a straight line, he rammed straight into a tree.
It took him a lot of effort to pull himself out of the trunk. His face was filled with sawdust as he mumbled begrudgingly, “The amount of inner energy this skill consumes is terrifying!”
He had only moved 30 feet or so, yet he had used up 10% of his inner energy.
In other words, he could only move about 3,000 feet even after he used up all his inner energy?
Even though it might sound impressive , 3,000 feet was not enough to pull himself away from danger if he really ran into a powerful fighter.
“This skill is rather useless to me at the moment… If I become a smasher, maybe I could move 16,000 feet in the blink of an eye.”
The sky got dark by the time he had practiced for two hours.
Kayson washed the dust off his face, and just when he was about to return to the Wolfenden mansion, Zachary
called him.
He told him that there was a patient that he couldn’t handle and he hoped he could help.
Kayson went to Bwell Therapeutic and was stunned as soon as he arrived.
“Captain Whitman? What are you guys doing here?”
Captain Whitman’s face was bloodless, and he seemed surprised to see Kayson. He replied, “I’m injured, so I came here to seek help from Dr. Ewell.”
Kayson scanned him with his mind and frowned. Lindsy came out and said, “Kayson! You’re finally here!” Kayson nodded and said, “Let’s clean his wound first. Then get me a bucket and a scalpel.” Captain Whitman remembered Kayson telling him before that he had some medical knowledge. He couldn’t help asking, “Mr. Yarde, could you be the special doctor Dr. Ewell said is even better than him?”
Kayson chuckled. “Well, Mr. Ewell is just exaggerating.” Captain Whitman shook his head. “I don’t think he’s exaggerating.”
As Kayson began to treat Captain Whitman’s wound, he asked, “Did you get injured while chasing a criminal?”
Captain Whitman replied, “Yeah, and he was quite a
runner.”
After Kayson finished washing his wound, he applied some cream on it. Meanwhile, Zachary came out and asked, “Can you save him?” “’Yeah.” Kayson nodded, making Zachary let out a sigh of relief. Apparently, he had noticed something wrong as well. Property © of .
However, Captain Whitman did not know what they were talking about. After Kayson finished treating his wound, he said, “ Captain Whitman, please raise your left arm. The one that isn’t injured.”
Captain Whitman did not know what Kayson was doing but still did as he said. At the same time, Lindsy returned with a bucket and a scalpel in her hand. She put both of them close to them.
Kayson said, “Captain Whitman, please hold on for a second. This might sting a bit.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he enveloped the scalpel with his sword aura, He slashed at Captain Whitman’s arm, and a black, earthworm – like creature slithered out of the wound along with the blood.
The creature fell into the bucket, and Kayson hurriedly sliced it in half.
Captain Whitman shouted, “What the hell is that?!”
‘Why was there a worm inside of me?!
Kayson said, “This is a poisonous worm known as the Blood Seeker. It’s fortunate that it just entered your body not long ago. If you had kept it inside your body for a few more days, you would have turned into a dried corpse.”
Captain Whitman took a sharp breath, and his face turned stern. “I don’t know where this worm came from.”
Kayson said, “Blood Seekers like dark, damp places. They usually hide in dirty water.”
Captain Whitman remembered something and said,” While I was chasing the criminal, he fell into a pond and I jumped after him.”
