Chapter 62: Risk (unedited)
In her tent, Queen Dana let out a heavy breath as wizard Lurio examined her. It had been a long time since she had used so much inner energy, and she could feel her body tiring more quickly than usual.
"You need to stop channeling your divine power to His Highness and take a rest, Your Majesty," Lurio scolded gently. "Continuing to use up the rest of your divine energy so quickly will harm your internal organs."
Dana looked at her dear friend with a weak smile, but he frowned and continued sternly, "If you refuse, then I’ll have no choice but to inform His Majesty, King Stephan."
Dana chuckled softly and replied, "You don’t need to tell him. I’m aware of my limits. I was just trying to support and recharge the divine power inside Ezekiel to ensure it was functioning properly in all his vital points."
Letting out another deep sigh, she continued, "Honestly, there’s nothing more I can do at this point. It’s all up to Ezekiel to fight the dragon soul in his body. But we can’t just sit idle. We need to remove that dragon soul from my son’s body as soon as possible. It needs to disappear for good..."
"Are you planning to expel the dragon soul in your current condition? Won’t it be very dangerous?" Lurio questioned, his frown deepening.
"I won’t be able to do it alone, of course. I will need your help on this, Lurio. If necessary, I will use the rest of my celestial power to banish that dragon’s soul. I remember something... but I need to double-check the details about this spell," Dana explained.
This was why she had mentioned to Tarah earlier that she wouldn’t be able to cast the tophet bloodchain spell if the need arose. She intended to devote all the remaining celestial power of an angel she had to Ezekiel.
"I will do my best to be of help, Your Highness. But for now, you should rest. It’s been a long day. I’ll send word to King Stephan..." Lurio informed with a curt bow.
