807 DANGEROUS METHOD OF THE SERAFIM
How she could forget about it when this was the topic that came pretty often whenever she talked with Haco and was still a question that had not yet been answered.
But now, everything seemed clicked in Iris’s mind.
However, before she could prove her theory, Abby had entered the tent. By this time, there were only Iris and Aliana by Ethan’s side. The tent was very quiet, since neither of them talked and Iris was too deep into her own thought.
"Can I have a moment with you?" Abby asked Iris in soft voice. She looked conflicted. It seemed whatever she was going to say would give her a great consequence.
Iris lifted her head, she was a little bit annoyed because she was being interrupted, but then she stood up and went out of the tent to talk with Abby.
"You don’t need to follow us, Liam," Abby said when Liam was about to follow them. Zephyr was there too, because Jace was away, but Iris gestured for him to stay in his place.
"Serafim, please think twice about what you are going to say," Liam looked very concern, as he knew what Abby was going to divulge and there was no going back from that.
Once the elders in the Holy Kingdom learned about this, Abby would be miserable, since she was about to tell the outsider, yet, another secret.
"Stay away from this, Liam," Abby said bitterly. "I know what I am doing."
Having no other choice, Liam could only grit his teeth and held himself back, he watched as the Serafim, the woman he loved, walked away with the luna.
He watched how she put herself in a great trouble, but he was unable to do anything to stop her.
He hated how cruel and unfair the world was to this woman.
Iris glanced at Liam, she could see the desperation in his eyes and was clueless what Abby would face once she divulged this information and if the word got to the elder in the Holy Kingdom, but right now there was nothing more important in her eyes than to get Ethan back.
The burning scar had almost reached his heart and once it appeared around his respiratory tract, it would too late for them to do anything.
"What do you want to say?" Iris asked impatiently. If this was about how to save Ethan, she was willing to listen, but if it was about something else, she didn’t have time for that.
What she got earlier was only a theory. Iris was still unsure whether it was right or not, or if she could execute it correctly.
There were a lot of uncertain things, but the time was limited.
They were standing a little bit away from the tent, there were many people around them, but they were far enough not to listen to their conversation.
"There is a way to save him," Abby started.
Iris crossed her arms. Despite her had healed close to two hundred people, she didn’t look lethargic, the determination still shone brightly in her eyes. She was very cold and scarce with her words during the whole debacle. She had this unwavering focus to save Ethan.
"So, there is a way?" Iris remarked. Reminding Abby that she just gave up on the first attempt and didn’t even try to think of another way of how to save the gamma.
Abby flustered when she heard that, but she tried to be the bigger person here and continued what she was going to say. Thankfully, Iris was not petty enough to bring up the topic again.
"This is a forbidden method for a Serafim," Abby started her explanation.
This information was only being passed down by the previous Serafim to the next, also to the five Holy Knights that protected them, so they would have a better understanding of what the Serafim could do or not to do, that was why Liam was strongly against it.
"The Serafim shouldn’t have done this, if it is not necessary. "
"What do you want to say actually?" Iris didn’t hold back to show her impatient, because Abby would talk in circle like usual if she let her.
Cane’s personality must have rubbed on her, since the alpha didn’t have enough patient to have this kind of conversation.
Abby took a deep breath, she felt the weight on her shoulder when she started talking again. "Purification is the first instinct of the Serafim, you can learn it easier, because it is like an instinct for the Serafim."
The thought of how Iris could purify black magic by only touched it and she didn’t even learn and had no one to guide her of how to do it, put a bitter taste in Abby’s mouth, as she remembered the harsh lesson sha had to go through to be able to reach that state.
But, she pushed it back down and continued.
"But, the absorption is different story. This is the power that you can’t touch recklessly." Abby furrowed her brows.
Meanwhile, Iris’s heart skipped a beat when she heard about the purification and absorption.
This was the exact topic that Iris and Haco talked about.
They still not yet decided whether Iris purified the black magic or she absorbed it, but after some time, Haco seemed convinced that she used the former.
But what became the main question was; the fact the first Serafim absorbed the black magic. The information that Haco had was not whole and Iris was only reminded about this topic again when she was thinking of a way to save Ethan.
If Abby was going to talk about this, the information from her would be more accurate and Iris could understand more about the power that Serafim held.
"What about this absorption?" Iris asked, her voice was calm, but she felt like she wanted to shake Abby’s body so she could spill her everything without stopping to think every few seconds.
"This method is dangerous..."
