A large crowd had gathered in Ridder's room.
By the bed, Elron was carefully examining the wound on Ridder's arm. A medicine box sat at his feet, filled with the potions he had recently prepared.
"This appears to be a special kind of Energy."
Elron held Ridder's arm, studying it carefully for a long while before giving his assessment.
He gently placed the arm back on the bed. "Since it's an Energy, I can try using my Purification Skill to see if I can dispel this effect."
The Purification Skill was a form of Magic Elron had acquired upon becoming a Great Mage. It could be used to dispel Dark Energy and other negative effects.
Elron raised his hand, and a faint golden light began to shimmer on his index finger.
He quickly drew in the air, soon completing the Magic Patterns for the Purification Skill.
With a hum, the surrounding Light Elements were drawn in, surging toward the Magic Patterns to form a pale golden light that shone down upon the wound on Ridder's left arm.
HISS!
