552 Black Mis
As for the reason how he knew about it was because of his earth elemental spirit, Slait.
From the beginning, Ajax gave only one task for Slait. That was to take care of his senior brother Levi.
'Creak'
He slowly opened the door and saw two beds. One was occupied by his Senior brother Levi whereas the other was used by Slait.
"Big brother, Ajax,"
As soon as he saw Ajax, Slait, who was resting on the bed, woke up before greeting Ajax.
"You seem tired. Do you want to switch places with someone else?"
From a look, Ajax could say that Slait was very tired. So, he asked him while moving towards him.
"No, big brother,"
However, Slait rejected Ajax's offer and continued, "Until brother Levi wakes up I will take care of him."
"Do as you wish,"
When he saw the confident look on Slait's chubby face, Ajax didn't force him before moving towards Levi, who was still unconscious on the bed.
"According to vice-captain Udo, brother Levi's injuries are even more worsened after bringing him," Slait slowly moved towards Ajax and said in a worried tone which made Ajax frown.

Ajax asked the chubby elemental spirit with a confused look on his face.
That's right! After Levi was injured, all his wounds were stabilised with the help of high-level healing pills. So, when he heard Slait's words, he looked at Slait with a confused expression.
"I don't know about it, Brother Ajax. You need to ask Vice-captain Udo to know more about Brother Levi's health condition,"
Slait said as though he didn't know anything about Levi's condition.
"Okay"
Ajax nodded his head and decided to ask Udo about Levi's condition.
'I think, Spirus can help me find what is wrong with the senior brother Levi,'
However, Ajax suddenly thought about Spirus' skill 'Diagnosis eyes' which could see through the illness in someone's body. So, he decided to summon his Life-elemental spirit.
'Spirus, check the illness of brother Levi,'
As soon as he summoned Spirus, he asked her to check the illness that was making his senior brother Levi unable to wake up from his slumber.
"Yes, summoning master,"
Spirus nodded her head and placed her hands on Levi's chest before using her 'Diagnosis eyes' skill.
As soon as she used the skill, her eyes shone with a green light.
She only observed him for less than a minute before cancelling her skill.
"How is it, Spirus? Did you find the reason for his unconsciousness?"
Seeing that Spirus removed her hands from Levi, Ajax asked Spirus about Levi's condition.
"What? A black mist? Is that some kind of demonic energy used by the old man?" Ajax remembered that the old man that injured Levi was a demonic cultivator. So, he thought that must be the reason for the appearance of a black mist in Levi's spirit consciousness.
"I don't know the reason; however, it is making impossible for his fire elemental essence of nature to heal his injuries from inside,"
Spirus shook her saying that she didn't know the reason but she said what it was doing.
"So, you are saying that Senior brother's injuries are healed only on the surface but they are still not healed in the inside?"
Ajax asked Spirus about it and as he finally understood the reason why Levi was still not waking up even after all his injuries were healed.
With the help of high-level healing pills, the injuries on Levi's body were half-healed and he was out of imminent danger; however, to heal his injuries completely, he needed his own essence of nature.
However, due to the black mist in his spirit consciousness, Levi's injuries were unable to heal completely.
"Do you have any suggestions that might help senior brother Levi's injuries to completely heal?"
Since Spirus knew so much about healing, he asked her suggestion.
As soon as he asked that Spirus fell silent with her eyes closed as though she was thinking of ways to save Levi.
'If she doesn't have anything, then I will have to rely on the system's feature 'Pay to Know','
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAjax silently thought about a backup plan in his head while waiting for Spirus's answer.
"I know how to destroy that black mist in his spirit consciousness and once we do that, his own fire elemental essence of nature will take care of his injuries,"
After thinking for a moment, Spirus opened her eyes and replied to Ajax.
"Excellent. What is it?"
As soon as he heard her words, Ajax became excited and hurriedly asked Spirus about it.
"Since the black mist is dominating the fire elemental essence of nature in his spirit consciousness, all we have to do is to forcefully send some rich essence of nature into his spirit consciousness," With a confident expression on her face, Spirus gave her suggestions in waking up Levi.
"However, the difficult part of this idea is how to send the rich essence of nature into his spirit consciousness?"
While Ajax was feeling excited because of finding a way to wake up his senior brother Levi, he heard Spirus speak the difficult part which made him frown.
'That's right! I have to find a way to inject the rich essence of nature. If he was in that dimensional crevice or in his own province, he would have already suppressed the?black mist in his spirit consciousness,'
Ajax knew that Levi was from Ylercester province which had a much better essence of nature and thought it would have helped his senior brother to heal his injuries.
So, he wanted to find a way to inject the essence of nature as soon as possible; otherwise, he knew Levi would not live with his half-healed injuries for much longer.
'I can't directly send my universal essence of nature into his body as he is not my contracted spirit beast. With him being unconscious, I can't do anything,'
With Ajax's current thoughts, he was unable to find a proper way to inject the rich essence of nature into Levi's body.
'Calm down. Don't rush, Ajax. Think carefully, there must be some way to inject the essence of nature,'
All of a sudden, Ajax calmed himself down and fully concentrated on all the available options in front of him.
Spirus and Slait didn't try to say anything and silently watched their summoning master lost in his thoughts.
"Why am I only focusing on the essence of nature? Why can't I use another energy to suppress the black mist?"
Finally, Ajax became excited as he found an alternate way to suppress the black mist in Levi's spirit consciousness when he changed the perspective of his thinking.
