Capítulo 5: Austere Bloodlust
Even among Devas, not everyone had Dharma that was suited for combat. Some people's Dharma worked toward building, experiments, healing, and other appropriate professions.
This was why apart from combatants who were the most popular among the various professions, there was still a balanced division of labour, of course, Devas with combat abilities were still the most prestigious in a world where strength ruled.
Another profession that was highly respected was alchemy. Alchemists, especially those with combat prowess were highly sought-after since they were not that common.
Alchemists delved into different medical research and experiments varying from studying different races' anatomy and physiology to experimenting with plants, animals, and other life forms to develop novel drugs and cure deadly health complications even for Devas.
And among the alchemists, there are different specializations, some deal with the soul while some deal with the body and very few among the already few alchemists deal with both.
Genzo was currently with Zeralf who was strapped to a hospital bed in a white patient robe. Many wires and thin pipes were connected to his body his head having the most connections, some were collecting his blood while some were injecting different colours of liquids into his body and there were some that were just there to monitor his vitals where they read on large crystals.
A female alchemist in a white robe who looked to be in her late twenties entered the room in short strides. Her brown eyes met Genzo and little blush escaped her cheek without her even realizing it.
'' Handsome than the report described. '' She held her cheeks as she lost herself in her wild imagination.
'' Do we have a problem? '' Genzo furrowed his eyebrows when he noticed the lady's flirtatious gaze.
His question jolted her out and she quickly bowed. '' I'm the head soul specialist in this branch of EDF hospitals sir, I heard you requested...''
'' Ordered '' He sent a menacing gaze and the lady felt as if she was in front of a deadly predator.
'' Can someone be so petty that they will be disturbed by others' choice of words. '' she thought in her head. Nevertheless, she pushed out a smile and continued not daring to show any form of displeasure.
'' I heard you ordered for an alchemist who specializes in the soul sir '' She breathed and checked if he was okay with her wordings. '' I already have the test results of the patient. '' she proceeded to hand over the file she was carrying all along but Genzo waved his hands lazily.
'' Just say it and proceed with everything as you see fit, bills on me ''
'' Hmph, even a moron knows whom to bill. '' She pouted in her mind.
'' The patient's soul is still in a young and tender stage and due to sudden emotional shocks, his soul has fractured. Curable, but it will take a while, five years at best. ''
'' I'll be back in two years, this Throne wants to see a sound and stable kid. '' Lightning streaks appeared and he was gone.
The woman dazed and her pale cheeks reddened with anger, she fumbled with her short brown hair and looked at the traces of lightning that still remained.
'' I have to let other branches lend me their assistance, nobody will dare to reject anyways, it is young Lord we're talking about after all. '' She concluded and zoomed out.

Zeralf slowly opened his eyes but closed them again when bright light rushed into his vision. He then squinted until his eyes finally adjusted before fully opening them again. His look was that of slight confusion as the environment didn't look anywhere familiar to him. Strangely, his muscles ached but he didn't feel weak, he on the other hand felt quite energized.
'' It seems you're finally awake kid. ''
Zeralf almost jumped up when he heard the voice. He turned his head to the source of the sound and saw a man clad in a black robe and a large sword resting on his shoulder.
''It's him. ''Zeralf's eyes widened and his heart quickened when all the past memories rushed in. Him waking up due to a large reverberation, watching as his clansmen got slaughtered, his mother murdered, his father, and finally waking up to see an unknown man whom he was again meeting.
Zeralf didn't realize it but he was actually overly calm compared to when Genzo first took him back to Planet Majhr.
'' I see, the soul fortification seems to work as that runt boasted, alchemists are still amazing in their field hehe. ''
'' Who are you? '' Zeralf finally asked when he failed to get any answer after scrutinizing the man over and over. His white hair had grown quite long and it was now reaching his waist.
'' This Throne is Genzo, but I will permit you to call me big bro, nice of this Throne right? ''
Zeralf was beyond surprised and he looked at the weird man again and again.
'' What arrogance, who addresses himself as a throne moreover if he is a throne, what about the one that sits on the throne? '' The thought ran through his mind but he still kept a blank facial expression, he still doesn't know if the man was dangerous or not.
'' Well big bro? '' Zeralf didn't really know what to say.
'' After witnessing your clan's massacre, your bloodline seemed to be forcefully awakened. '' He paused to see if there were any changes on the kid's face.
'' No wonder I feel energized, I've heard of this forced awakening before. '' Zeralf was also looking at the man waiting for him to continue.
'' Ideally, you're supposed to awaken your bloodline during your Dharma awakening. ''
'' Correct. '' Zeralf acknowledged silently.
When members of the Damon clan who were still mortals experienced great tragedy, some of them have their bloodline forcefully awakened, it usually came with other effects but he didn't know much since there was no record to support this, more of a hypothesis that no one he knew had proven.
'' Your forced awakening pulverized Mia and I had to bring you to planet Majhr in the central cluster. ''
'' Oh, so I've left the North. ''
'' But your soul fractured so here we are in the EDF hospital, it's two years already. ''
Another surprised look appeared on Zeralf's still childlike face. '' I was in a coma for two years? ''
''And this man seemed to have brought me here? I might as well tag with him, for now, he would have killed me if he wanted to anyways ''
'' Do you know him? ''
By him, Genzo already knew who he was referring to and he nodded in affirmative.
'' Why? why did he kill everyone? '' Zeralf clenched the white bedspread tightly and his teeth almost cracked out of rage.
'' I don't know either '' Genzo replied in a helpless tone.
All forms of negative thoughts entered his mind and his face twisted, the atmosphere turned grim and suffocating, without him even realizing his face was really murderous and deathly.
'' yes! ''
'' He killed momma. ''
'' He killed Grandpa. ''
'' Everybody, he killed them. ''
'' I must avenge them and kill him too in the most gruesome ways. ''
'' Hahaha. ''
'' Yes, he must die. ''
'' For momma. ''
'' For Grandpa. ''
'' For every clan's man he killed, he must pay. ''
'' Power, I need power, he must die. ''
'' Hahahaha. '' A loud and creepy laugh escaped his mouth again.
Genzo found the aura extremely cadaveric and chilling and he had to flicker his finger to disperse the feeling.
'' Did a mortal just suffocate me with his bloodlust? '' The thought made him flinch. '' This kid is dangerous, should I remove him? ''
Genzo was really conflicted, on one hand, he actually found the kid pitiful but on the other hand, that sudden bloodlust that could affect even him is just too threatening.
'' So tell me, big bro...''
'' How strong are you? ''
'' Eh?''
