Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 362

Erik's right leg was exposed, and the injuries were clear to see.

The entire knee area looked as if it had been burned or corroded, with not a single patch of healthy skin. The bone was almost exposed, and it seemed to be worsening, as if it would eventually rot down to the bone.

Nyx's heart twisted in pain, and she couldn't help but show a sorrowful expression.

She thought, 'No wonder ever since his leg was injured and he found out it couldn't be cured, there have been rumors that his temper has worsened.'

Facing constant pain day and night and knowing he would eventually lose the leg, no matter how strong a person was, their mental state would inevitably collapse.

This injury likely wasn't deep at first; it might have just been a small, insignificant scratch.

The key problem lay in the poison infecting the wound.

Nyx racked her brain, going through all the common poisons she could remember, but couldn't find any that matched this set of symptoms.

If it were a common poison, the imperial doctors wouldn't be at a loss. This had to be some rare kind of poison.

"Did the weapon that caused your injury belong to you? Is it still in your

possession?" she asked, hoping to study this poison. Maybe she could analyze the components and create an antidote.

To her disappointment, Erik shook his head. "The weapon was destroyed by the enemy."

"Alright," Nyx sighed dejectedly.

Whatever Nyx could think of, the other doctors certainly could as well, and the attackers wouldn't have overlooked such details.

"It's fine." Erik reassured her, pulling her closer and holding her hand tightly. "I think I've found a clue. This poison likely came from Banon, possibly similar to the strange poison he uses to control his subordinates, called 'Moonshade Poison."

Since discovering this, the shadow guards had been trying to obtain Moonshade Poison or its antidote from Banon, but they hadn't had much success.

Erik didn't tell Nyx the full truth. He reassured her with half-truths. "I've sent my people to search for the poison or the antidote. As long as we find one, we can solve the problem."

The worst-case scenario was that they'd have to gather enough evidence and eliminate Banon before they could get the medicine.

Given how fast the wound was worsening, waiting until Banon was brought down might be too late to save his leg.

Nyx frowned, unable to relax. She could tell that Pale Wolf was hiding something from her, and the situation might not be as optimistic as he made it sound.
