Prime Originator

Chapter 378 - Broken Hand

After sensing the peculiarities of the situation on Lumi's side, Leon shot to his feet and made his way over.

When he arrived at the location, he immediately pulled a nearby warrior over and asked, "What is going on here? What happened to… Lumi?"

"Lumi? Ah, no, that black-dressed Lumi calls herself Duna, the older sister of Lumi. She helped us wiped out half the enemy and had been protecting the others as they try to advance their cultivation. I'm not exactly sure what happened to her, but it might be related to the strange power she was using before."

The warrior explained.

"Duna? The old sister of Lumi?"

Leon was confused.

"I don't understand either, Big Brother Leonhardt. That is all I've heard and understand." The warrior said.

"I see, thank you. You can go."

Leon released his grip and allowed the warrior to rejoin the battle.

Afterward, his brows furrowed.

So, it seems that Lumi had not been the one assisting the humans, but the other one called Duna? It seems he has misunderstood this person.

He thought that Duna was the evil nature of the vengeful spirit that have been split apart from the original human Lumi, but this no longer seems to be the case.

A real vengeful spirit would not be helping humans but killing them.

He became curious about this 'Duna.'

What was she exactly? Why does she call herself the older sister of Lumi? Was she really Lumi's older sister and not a split personality? In fact, she can be Lumi's older sister and a split personality at the same time.

There were medical records of twins having higher chances of developing split personalities of their other half when one of them dies in the womb and fails to be born along with the other.

However, Leon was unsure if this was the case or if another soul was also dwelling inside Lumi's body. He did not know much about Lumi, to be honest. He can only ask her about it later.

The more concerning problem now was the state of their body!

"Maya, take a look at Lumi's body. Is this the backlash of using the Destruction Law?" Leon asked and share his senses with the artifact spirit.

"Hmm."

After a quick glance through Leon's vision, she nodded, "That's right. This is the result of overusing a power beyond one's ability. The Destruction Law is not something just any being can use without consequences. It is natural for there to be a price in using it. It's the power of the Greater Divinities after all."

"Greater Divinities? Are there also hierarchy differences between Divinities as well?" Leon asked.

"You ask a pretty stupid question. Of course, there are. Just as there are Gods and High Gods, there are also Devils and Great Devils. Only 7 High Gods and 7 Great Devils comprehended the Creation and Destruction Supreme Laws during ancient times."

"Hoh? That means that Lumi awakened the memory fragment of such an incredible Divinity? Can you tell which Great Devil it is—No, that is not important. Is it possible for Lumi's body to recover from the side effects of using the Destruction Law? It doesn't seem like it will be simple." Leon asked with a frown.

He was not well-versed in treating vengeful spirits, or rather he is not well-versed in treating vengeful spirits at all!

He only treated living things before!

"Aren't you supposed to be a doctor? You already have everything needed to heal her. Why don't you figure it out yourself?" Maya said with an attitude.

"Are you kidding me? Do you think my medicine and acupuncture will work on a non-living entity? How come I don't know that?"

Leon suddenly frowned.

Vengeful spirits were not exactly non-living entities. Their physical bodies may have died, but their souls were still alive.

"Hmph! Anyways, I have spoken enough. You can figure it out yourself." Maya stated before going completely silent.

Leon's lips twitched.

It seems that Maya was still dissatisfied with him, but why does she have to stop at the most important part?

"That's enough, Lumi. You have done more than enough. You need to start taking care of your own body." Leon called out to her.

"I am Duna."

Duna snorted after hearing his words and continued to send out her soul attacks to assist the battle until it ended.

"Duna, it is then."

Leon acknowledged.

He did not try to persuade her after noticing that although the state of her body was quite serious, the condition was not aggravated by her soul attacks.

At this point, there were not many enemies left to kill. The battle was about to end, and the warriors were about to complete their breakthrough.

"Why are you pushing your body so far for us humans? I thought you didn't like humans." Leon asked.

Strangely, he did not feel any fear of Duna. If she wanted to kill him, she would have already done it.

"Hmph! Who said I didn't like humans? I feel closer to humans than anything else. I just don't like you!" Duna snorted.

"Eh? I guess that is true…"

Leon was shortly stunned before scratching his cheeks wryly. He needed to stop seeing her as another vengeful spirit.

"How come you haven't killed me?"

"Why so much nonsense for? Do you want me to kill you? You should be grateful that I don't feel like it right now, hmph hmph!" Duna glared at Leon feistily with two hands on her hips.

Crack…

One of Duna's hand cracked under the slight pressure and detached itself from her arm, and fell to the ground, causing both of them to freeze.

After a moment, they slowly glanced down at the broken hand.

"Your hand broke."

"I can see that."

"Can it be fixed?"

"Cannot. I've already tried."

"Hmm…"

Leon furrowed his brows as he stared at the broken hand. After getting detached from the main body, it began to disintegrate slowly.

Duna's body was like a fragile vase that threatened to shatter apart at any time. He could not imagine how she would survive if that were to happen.

"What methods have you tried?" He asked.

"Third Level of Darkness Law, Devour," Duna stated.

Seeing Leon have no idea what that means, she explained, "Devour uses the power of darkness to strengthen and recover the body by swallowing other forms of existing energy. However, it is of no use."

"I have discovered that there are some traces of Destruction Law on my body, which obstructs the healing process. I can only recover once the traces of Destruction Law disappears, but I cannot ascertain when that will be."

Leon frowned after hearing this.

The Destruction Law can be counteracted with the Creation Law, but no one is capable of that.

After pondering for a moment, he came up with an idea. They might not necessarily need to remove the traces of Destruction Law. They just need a power that can overcome it.

He realized why Maya said he had everything needed for Lumi's body to recover.

Thinking up this point, he reached out his hand and said, "Try absorbing this to heal yourself."

"Did you not listen to a word I said? It's no use—"

Duna paused when she saw the grey energy that concentrated towards the tips of Leon's fingers before he passed the pseudo-Grandmist Energy to her.

Shortly after, her eyes widened with surprise.

How was it possible for this person to have Grandmist Energy?! Just who exactly is Leon? Grandmist Energy should have gone extinct long ago after the formation of Primal Chaos!

"It's not the real deal, but it is still more potent than any other source of energy out there. I call it pseudo-Grandmist Energy." Leon explained.

He knew that since Duna had awakened the Divinity fragment, there was a chance that she would have gained some knowledge about Grandmist Energy.

"Hm?"

Leon raised an eyebrow when Duna suddenly grabbed his hand. A powerful suction force came after that and absorb all the pseudo-Grandmist Energy he offered on the tips of his fingers, but that was not enough for Duna.

She was greedy for more.

Leon widened his eyes when he realized that the little devil was actually taking advantage of his kindness and trying to suck him dry!

The Law of Nothingness suffused in the Black Vortex protected the grey ring of energy around his soul core from being absorbed, but the same cannot be said for the few Body Runes in his body!

They disappeared are having their energy rung dry by Duna!

Nevertheless, Leon was not pained by the disappearance of these Body Runes forged with artificial Spirit Energy. In fact, it could be said that she helped him.

"Aren't you being a little too greedy?" Leon calmly asked.

Duna became rather embarrassed and touched at the same time. She did not know that Leon had offered all the pseudo-Grandmist Energy he had.

However, this was her misunderstanding.

She was unaware of the Nihility Law in Leon's body, which hid the rest of his power from being seen and devoured by her.

Duna did not want to show her embarrassment, so she scowled, "Hmph! So what? What are you going to do about it?"

"Um, nothing, I guess?"

Leon could only respond.
