The Devil Withinn - Chapter 241

Seeing her current state worsen as seconds passed, Raghnall was soon at his highest state of panic as he tried to think of something that can help her.

He looked around desperately as he tried to gather ideas that could help.

But, still panicked, nothing worthwhile came into mind and so, he just tried his best to gently lower her down onto the grass below them.

After all, he didn’t really have any clue other than making her lay flat on the ground for the time being.

But as soon as he had her convulsing body fully flat on the ground, she suddenly screamed in anguish. It scared the heck out of Raghnall, making him step back in shock. In fact, her screams were so loud and ear-splitting that Raghnall instinctively covered his ears as he winced in pain.

But Inna didn’t seem to notice at all as she just continually screamed and convulsed.

Seeing her horrid state, Raghnall worriedly tried to think of ways to figure out what to do to somehow ease the pain she must have been feeling from her uncontrollable shaking and screaming.

And so, muttering nearly every healing spell he could ever remember, he casted them one by one on her all the while praying for at least one of them to work and make her return to normal.

But it seemed that no matter how strong or how great the spell was, it held no effect on Inna as she continued to scream.

Then suddenly, Inna clawed at her chest as the volume of her screams intensified. Her screams continued one after another, barely giving her any breathing time.

Her voice of agony echoed throughout the yard and finally made its way inside the dorms, making its walls shake uncontrollably.

Ulima, half-asleep, couldn’t help but be jerked awake with the strange happenings and he cautiously looked around to find the source of the noise.

If it was a ghost, he’d run but for some reason, he felt that the voice was eerily familiar. And so, controlled by his curiosity, he decided to search for the cause of the loud noises. As he ventured out of his room, he realized that the eerie screams were coming from the front yard.

Cautiously walking towards the window, he peered outside. At first, due to the poor lighting, he only saw a woman moving strangely on the floor and a man was beside her clutching her hand.

Was someone giving birth in front of his dorm?!

With that misunderstanding stuck in his mind, he immediately rushed out to help the poor lady. But to his surprise, he found Raghnall’s pale face looking at him in panic. His weary eyes held both confusion and fear as he continued to cast spell after spell.

Seeing such a horrible state he was in, Ulima finally realized that the one screaming must have been Inna.

And so, at an inhuman rate, he ran quickly towards Raghnall as he cried out.

“What’s happening here?!”

Ulima knelt by Inna’s side as he tried to find what the problem was. It was his first time to see someone convulsing while clutching at her chest tightly. He tried to look at Raghnall to ask what started it when he saw that Raghnall started to look weaker and weaker.

“Boy! Snap out of it! If you keep this up, it’ll be hard for your body later on! Let the professionals handle this situation!”

Ulima cried out as he grasped Raghnall’s trembling hands.

Raghnall jerked from the contact, not expecting Ulima to stop his casting. Then, looking at Ulima’s hand that grasped him then to his eyes, Raghnall gave him a look of pure desperation.

“But if I don’t try, no one can help her! No one can unless…”

Raghnall’s eyes lit up as an idea entered his mind. Ulima didn’t seem to notice as he continued to try and console Raghnall while thinking the next best possible action.

“Calm down, boy and tell me what’s happening here… why is she like tha–”

“Call the headmaster now!”

Raghnall cried out suddenly with impatience in his voice while staring at Ulima intensely.

Ulima’s eyes widened in shock and he looked at Raghnall with confusion.

“Huh?”

Raghnall clicked his tongue as he tried to carry the still convulsing Inna on his arms. She stopped screaming moments before Raghnall grabbed her but her convulsions still continued to worsen.

“Call. The. Headmaster. Now.”

Ulima still wasn’t able to recover from his shock, making Raghnall’s anger escalate.

“My magic is low so I can’t teleport right now. So call the Headmaster immediately!”

Ulima finally snapped out of his confusion then he looked at Raghnall incredulously.

“Why are YOU ordering me around?! YOU call the Headmaster! I’ll take her in.”

Ulima was about to grab Inna when Raghnall quickly moved out of his grasp.

“CALL THE HEADMASTER NOW!”

He bellowed out as he hurriedly walked towards the dormitory.

But Ulima was still unable to fathom the pure disrespect coming from Raghnall’s tone and words.

“You dare order me around, boy?!”

Raghnall growled out in frustration from the stubbornness and stupidity of Ulima.

“CALL HIM NOW!”

Raghnall’s eyes turned frosty as he used his magic to fling his spatial pocket to Ulima’s face.

Ulima, upon looking at the crest, suddenly grew pale and then, without even as much as a second to waste, he wordlessly teleported to the front doors of the Headmaster’s office.

“HEADMASTER!”

He screamed at the top of his lungs as he banged his fists on the door repeatedly. Then, when he heard no reply, he knew he had no choice but to break some of the barriers to alert the Headmaster immediately. Because although they were both Veteran Mages, the Headmaster was an expert when it comes to casting multiple barriers while Ulima was good at the enhancement of items. With different expertise, of course, comes different strengths and weaknesses. And so he was only able to knock down the second barrier before the Headmaster immediately appeared behind him.

“WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS, ULIMA?!”
