Chapter 53 - 51: Someone from Far Away
*(An orc...?)* I asked, confused.
*(Yes... He collapsed as soon as he arrived... and it looks like he’s poisoned... because his head and chest are purple...)* Bokkon’s voice echoed in my mind.
My eyes widened, and in an instant, a portal appeared behind me. I stepped through it, leaving King Altabet, Aurthor, and Gearor behind in stunned silence. I reappeared in a room where Bokkon, Yooto, and Lunara stood, their expressions tense. In the center of the room, a massive figure lay on a bed—an orc. Its ears and nose were pig-like, and its body was covered in dust, with faint purple patches on its head and chest.
"La-lady Sumi?" Bokkon stammered, looking at me in confusion.
I looked at Bokkon then Aries speaks
**[Notice: Bokkon is infected,]** Aries said urgently.
Without hesitation, I rushed to Bokkon, grabbing his arm. "Wha—!" he gasped, startled.
I pulled him back and raised my other hand, summoning the green liquid of **Bloom**. I smashed it into his mouth, forcing him to swallow it. He fell to the ground, coughing and spluttering covering his mouth with his hand.
"Wh-what was that for?!" he asked, his voice filled with confusion and shock.
I ignored him for a moment, turning my attention to the orc. Its breathing was labored, and the purple patches on its body were spreading slowly.
**[The virus’s effects have just started on it,]** Aries informed me.
