Kapitel 634: The Nightroad

Maryam learned his name was Oren, before the young man was knocked unconscious by her potions. The best method to relieve pain was to knock the patient out, said her father once. As she stared at his youthful face, Maryam knew that such a child would be traumatized.

The potions she has given him enhanced his life force for a short period so that he heals. This sends his body into a hyperactive state, but there was a down-side. It was the overstimulation the potions bring to his sensory nerves.

Therefore, whatever pain he experienced before that state began was nothing compared to the one that he would experience now. This was the reason that Maryam knocked him out using the painkillers from earlier, and hope this boy survives.

"Oren, huh?" muttered Maryam while the youth took deep and pained breaths. His face was red, telling her he had a fever. "There is nothing for me to do now, Alexie. Your brother will have to survive on his own."
