Belize cursed as he realized the man was dying. He carried the man on his back, disgusted by his state, but didn't use his ability to hasten his speed. He couldn't risk it—not when there were bigger fights coming.
Before, he told the lord he only needed to keep his strength, when in reality… he discovered that his mana recovered too slowly.
He only noticed it recently when he tried taking down the first batch of monsters that attacked the walls.

He had no idea when it happened and the only time he had ever encountered such a thing was when a strong city-level monster poisoned him.
His eyes darkened when he thought of anything odd that had happened and couldn't immediately pinpoint it.
