Ascension of the Nephilim

641  Star Physician

Master Physician Valler. A Second Star Physician of All. Even Third Star Physicians respect him for his range. Most physicians who have stars focus only on a certain field of medicine. Whether it was internal medicine, Cultivator Medicine, Pre-Champion Medicine, Post Champion Medicine, or even those specializing in surgeries, neuro, or other fields.

But Valler was known as the Second Star of All. All fields were his expertise, making him as popular as a Third Star Physician. In fact, he was expected to become one in three to five years!

But, of course, Valler had a secret identity. He was born, raised, and trained in the Continents Above the Sky and trained in the most secretive class not publicly known in the kingdoms, the Assassin class!

Valler smiled and approached Emeros. He never expected Emeros to ask him in the field of medicine.

"It seems the Teacher is knowledgeable in the matters of the body. You believe that this man suffers from that rare disease?" Physician Valler asked.

"Yes. But my knowledge in medicine and healing will not compare to yours, Second Star Physician Valler. Mine is selective. I only know this because this nation has plenty of Fire Mages. So naturally, to be a teacher, I studied possible diseases related to that."

"Then might I ask your reasoning why you believe this is Black Meridian Embolism?"

Emeros took a deep breath to organize his thoughts. Kyros had read the first level of medication, spanning several books. But since the regenerative qualities, god-tier healing spells, and the presence of the Temple and Fortress's healing powers were there, he never really had to practice it and only read it.

"The first thing I noticed is that many mages have suffered from a disease that you all Mana Channeling Burn Out. This is where the magical pathways would have many injuries, and the heat often causes thrombosis. The medically approved explanation is that the fire energy that courses through their bodies is causing these blood clots and would require a man to take other pills to clear the pathways. The truth I believe to be the case for this man is that he suffers from this, but it is unique considering he is a Force Specialist. This also means that the medically approved conclusion is incomplete." Emeros smiled.

"Oh? You claim to have lesser knowledge in the field of medicine but claim that the medically accepted explanation of this nation, no, the entire floating continents, is wrong?" Valler smiled.

"Not wrong. As I said, it is incomplete. The fire in the body will cause thrombosis, clotting of the blood vessels, and damage to the meridians and magic pathways. But that is not the only explanation. However, the Temperate Fire Wielder Pill has a darkness of its own. It seeps inside the body of a person. Not in the vessels, but it will seep and move into the body. Tell me… has there been a slight decrease in the lifespan of mages over the years? Can a historian or scholar tell me the peak point of the lifespan and when it began to drop, as well as the year when this store sold the pills?" Emeros challenged.

Valler frowned and began to think. But all of a sudden, his expression changed.

"It can't be!"

Though he was a secret spy from the Continents Above the Sky, he was naturally a master in the kingdom's history. The simple historical correlation that Emeros asked shook him to the core.

"You…! You're right! The decreases in lifespan only increase as the sales and use of this pill grow!"

At once, the crowd exploded in a great commotion. Valler was a trusted man, and his wisdom was treated to exceed that of Master Teachers! Even the Principal of Cloud Peak could not compare to him in assessments of medical anomalies.

Prince Terenyos stood from his seat on the second floor and could not believe the assessment.

"Master Physician Valler truly loves to jest! Isn't… isn't the decreasing lifespan related to all the pills we have… we have… many pills being created? And isn't it the mixture of all these pills?!"

The crowd began to murmur around them.

"Yes. That is an accepted medical truth. But the thing is… the effects of your pills seem to go together with a noticeable increase in medical cases. Within the decade of its creation and the years of its mass use… I can see a correlation!"

"Oh? I was worried that no one would know this. Because such a thing would have been known to the pill maker. So, undoubtedly, some cover-ups would be made. Perfectly, it was Physician Valler who spoke to me!" Emeros smiled.

Valler tried to hide his reaction but realized that he had fallen for Emeros's trap! That data was difficult to ascertain! The kingdom had indeed falsified the reason, but as for Valler, he had access to the true records and the black books of many corporations!

"In mages, it's not really noticeable." Emeros continued as he ignored Valler.

"But to a Force user harnesses the energy within his body. The darkness corrupts it. I expelled all the darkness within his body."

"Then… the pills that I was consuming…"

"Was slowly killing you and weakening you. You thought you met a bottleneck in your cultivation, but the pill weakened you. Now that around a fourth of the darkness has been expelled, you recovered quite a bit of energy…"

"F-fourth?! That darkness… was just a fourth of the darkness in my body?!"

"Hmmm… In this regard, I am unsure. I'm not a physician, and I do not know the exact recipe of their pills." Emeros shrugged. The truth was his pill already expelled over half of the darkness. But feigning ignorance created a better reaction as people began to worry about just how much darkness they had in their bodies!

"I demand an answer from Prince Terenyos!" One of the mages shouted.

"I, as well! Shop owner! You will pay for this!"

"I…! I…! This is all a trick! This… this mortal boy is only making it up! That strange process of making pills was like a magic trick! We are being deceived!"

"I created three more pills here that were created together with the batch." Emeros smiled as he raised it up.

"Anyone want to try?" Emeros asked.

The shop owner nearly spat out blood in his weakness.

"A grand accusation, mortal." A voice boomed. It was the Prince!

His powers were rippling out. The might of a powerful peak Commander was pressing down on everyone.

Prince Terenyos could no longer ignore this matter as his name was dragged into the mud.

"But what makes you so certain that your pill did not cause the darkness that expelled it? And is it not possible that the strength of Goldas is only temporary from taking the pill? How could such a stupid, weird, and downright useless process of alchemy work?!" The Prince demanded.

"Why would I answer how? That's my pill and my recipe. If I make a pill that adds an astounding Temperate effect and simultaneously expels the darkness this stupid shop makes, that's my recipe. No doubt, this kingdom will deny all attempts to prove my claims. Already, you must have falsified records and dates of your release. But as Physician Valler stated, your pills came in range with this. If there are any doubts, and if any of you want a long life, then come to me. Let's make a deal. I have a list of things I must buy for my beloved students. You will be the next to get my pill, and I will personally trade you these pills!"

"Prince Terenyos! Show us the records of your study!"

"How dare you poison people for gain!"

Many nobles, especially those who had allied with factions against Terenyos's group, began to speak up.

"Great Teacher Emeros! What items might you need?" Another merchant flew and appeared before Emeros.

"Let's see… A Purple Miasma Thorn Weed."

"I can sell you ten bushels! All top quality! Only let me try the effect of the pill!"

"Wait! I will sell it to you at a cheap price!"

"Screw him! I will give it to you!"

"I will give it to you and give you my daughter if you partner with me to distribute this pill!"

The cries began to echo out.
