Death… And Me

Chapter 1088 - Reanʼs Treatment

”Donʼt worry too much about me, child. Iʼve grown used to not seeing, so itʼs fine. Even if you canʼt do anything, I wonʼt think anything from it.” Regioʼs mother obviously became weary of the many treatments so far, so she simply didnʼt care or hold any hope anymore. It couldnʼt be helped. If even the Royal Family couldnʼt fix it, then the chances of anyone else doing it were next to impossible.

Rean didnʼt know what was wrong either, so he didnʼt promise he could fix it. ”Well, thereʼs no harm in trying, so let me check first. Madam, Iʼll put my hands on your face, alright? Also...ahem... Iʼm a Light Element user.”

”Is there a problem with being a Light Element User?” Regioʼs mother asked after hearing him specify this.

Rean then looked at Regio, Colen, and the maids and decided it was better to explain the situation through a Divine Sense Message. That way, only the old lady would hear it.

”This...” The old lady couldnʼt help but feel a little flustered when she heard Reanʼs explanation. ”I... understand what you mean.” Soon after, she looked at everyone else. ”Everyone except Rean and Regio, get out. Iʼll call you back once weʼre done here.”

Colen and the maids were puzzled but did as they were told. Rean also explained to Regio why that had to be so, which made the guy not look very happy. ”Is there no other way?”

”This is a side effect of the Light Element. Thereʼs nothing that I can do at the very least,” Rean explained.

In any case, recovering his motherʼs issue was more important, so Regio could only nod in response. ”Very well.”

Once everyone went out, Rean used his Light Element to analyze the condition of Regioʼs mother. Fortunately, she knew what to expect, so she was able to control her impulses once the Light Element entered her body. Itʼs just that her face blushed as a result of Reanʼs Light Element.

Rean kept checking her eyes and couldnʼt help but ask, ”Were you able to see before?”

Regio immediately answered, ”Yes. She lost her vision during an attack our settlement received from some bandits in the past.”

Rean narrowed his eyes in response. ”This is weird. Thereʼs nothing wrong with her eyes. I can see that they have been regrown with the alchemistsʼ pills of the Royal Family. With that being said, whatever was wrong with the old ones is now fixed. By the way, madam, I havenʼt asked your name yet.”

Regioʼs mother began to get used to the Light Element, which allowed her to talk a little. ”I-Iʼm Natalia Klin.”

Regio also added something else. ”The physicians said the same thing when they analyzed my motherʼs eyes. There wasnʼt supposed to be anything wrong there.”

”They were right,” Rean agreed with Regioʼs words. ”Since she canʼt see, that means the problem is further behind the line. Let me check.”

Rean immediately went deeper into the connections of the eye. To be more precise, the connection between the eyes and brain. Only then was he able to see something different. ”Oh! There we go! No wonder she canʼt see.” Rean then asked Natalia, ”Madam, when you lost your vision, were your eyes hit by some kind of searing heat? Something that only targeted your eyes and nothing else?”

Natalia was surprised to hear that question. ”Thatʼs correct. I told it to the physicians and alchemists before, but they said they couldnʼt find anything related to the attack on my eyes. Thatʼs why I didnʼt mention it to you. How did you know?”

Rean smiled as his hair changed into a mix of black and white. ”Itʼs not their fault. The attack you received was created through a mix of Yang Energy, Fire Element, and some kind of flashing light. The person who did it is quite good at controlling Yang Energy, I have to say. If Iʼm not wrong, you werenʼt the only one affected either.”

Rean continued, ”Anyway, this mix created a poisonous effect that went through the retina of your eyes and lodged itself between the connections of your eyesʼ roots with the brain. The amount is also very small, almost undetectable. However, since vision signals are nothing more than small electrical pulses, it was more than enough to completely shut down the transfer of information.”

Soon after, Rean used his Light Element to protect the brain and eyes. At the same time, Roanʼs Dark Element made its way to attack that foreign energy. ”Regio, please hold your mother and make sure she doesnʼt move much. Itʼs going to be quite painful.”

Regio, who seemed quite hopeful now, immediately followed Reanʼs order. ”You can fix it, right?”

Rean nodded with a smile. ”I should be. Anyway, are you ready, madam?”

Natalia nodded. ”Go ahead.”

Rean immediately started to destroy that foreign energy, which indeed caused a lot of pain, even with his Light Element ensuring the integrity of Nataliaʼs eyes and bain. Fortunately, there was just a little of that energy in the connection, so it took only a minute to fix it.

”Alright, Iʼm done,” Rean said as he took his hands off Nataliaʼs head.

Regio also looked at her, waiting for his mother to open her eyes.

Natalia then opened them and couldnʼt help but cover her eyes soon after while feeling pain.

*Ouch!*

”What?! What happened?!” Naturally, Regio became worried about his motherʼs reaction.

However, Rean put a hand on his shoulders and laughed. ”Hahaha! Itʼs fine. Itʼs just that she hasnʼt seen the light for a long time, so her eyes hurt quite a little when she opened it just now.” Rean then turned to Natalia. ”Do it slowly, madam. Let your eyes get used to the light again.”

Natalia nodded and followed Reanʼs instructions. At first, there was only a big flash in her vision. But slowly, the eyes got used to the light as the forms of the outside world began to take shape in front of her. In the end, she couldnʼt help but let the tears flow down. ”I... can see again....”
