Everyone was stunned as they looked at the expression of the Branch leader. They didn't know what could make him feel excited in a situation like this. Three-thirds of their organization was completely destroyed and they also lost two parts of their heirloom.
The sheer defeat they suffered is enough to erase their smiles for the next few years. They couldn't fathom how this man could have felt excitement at the moment. But the branch leader is not really up to explain anything to anyone.
"Take the first young master and his subordinates to a new residence. Let them rest. We will definitely avenge our fallen comrades."
With that, he sent them away and soon the normal elders who didn't have high enough authority were also sent away.
Only the third branch leader and the highest level elders were left in the room. Even the third young master, the core disciple of the branch was not allowed into the meeting.
The third branch leader placed the slip he received on the table and said.
"The Black Ghost successfully established the contact with the other party."
The elders had a look of shock and finally a look of excitement.
"We would be receiving them tonight. But remember everything has to be a secret. We don't have another shot if we miss this. The second branch leader sent a message before he died.
He wanted us to make sure that we can beat the opponent, if we cannot beat them, we should be giving the furnace body away. The second branch leader is not exactly a person who exaggerates particularly not when he was about to die. So, we need to be careful regarding this situation and shouldn't be making any mistakes.
We will receive our guests secretly. Nobody should know when they are coming and why they are coming. Even their presence in this place should be kept absolutely secretive.
Do you understand?"
The elders nodded.
"Now, go and make arrangements properly."
With that, the meeting was dismissed. There was no explanation on who the other party is or what the whole situation is about. But all the elders clearly understood what is going on and what they should do."
The first young master, Akriv and Kiran are obviously kept in dark about this. Even though, after making contact with Sam, they got some more toys with them to help from inside, they are not exactly supposed to activate them instantly.
They were told to wait for three days to do anything.
Because currently Sam is still in the camp of the second puppet realm and is busy treating Markan.
At this moment, while the third branch leader and the elders are busy with planning the welcome for these special gifts, Sam is tinkering with the makeshift dialysis machine that could clear the parasites.
He didn't bother making it sophisticated.
He doesn't need to make this into a product or make it user-friendly at the moment. There are many teams of people waiting to do that back in the organization.
Currently, there is a large device standing in front of him.
There is a vertical rectangular frame around six feet tall and the frame was mounted with a bunch of thin pipes connected to each other both vertically and horizontally.
There is another frame parallel to it mounted with a bunch of projecting lamps made of some crystal materials and there is a small bulb within those crystalline lamps filled with liquid light elemental energy.
Apart from all of these, there is a tank with a capacity of a few liters connected to the first frame and another tank with the same capacity connected to the second frame.
Sam is making some final checks before he could operate the machinery.
After half an hour, he was finally done with it and called Markan over.
He took out a crystal table and let Markan lay down on it as he explained.
"You would be put in a state of coma. You wouldn't be aware of the surroundings and your nervous system would be in a frozen state. I don't want you to use your spiritual energy instinctually to disrupt the process as it would pretty invasive.
I would be sucking your blood out and it will be collected into the first tank, where it would be supplied with sufficient vitality and the blood will be then passed through the frame-mounted with pipes.
These transparent pipes ensure a steady flow of the blood and the special lamps I created will kill the parasitic creatures in your blood in the process of which the blood cells will be losing a decent amount of vitality.
They would be collected in the second tank where they will gather enough vitality and then it would be injected back into your body.
While this is happening, you would be in an induced coma as I already told you before and that state will be close to a dying state. Your brain activity would be numbed down and your body would be close to the state of a dead body. The vitality of the body wouldn't be active at all.
Because I don't want the cells to use your body and its energy to multiply while I was still killing them out here. Due to the lack of vitality in the body, their instinct would be to go after the nearest source which would be the blood in the tank, so they would be separated from your organs by themselves if they were latched on to it.
If by any chance this vitality supply of the blood is disconnected then your body would be nibbled down by them and you would die in a few seconds."
Markan looked at Sam with a dumbfounded expression.
"Maybe, it would have been better if you didn't tell me the risk at all."
Sam shrugged and replied.
"Of course, it would be, but it would be better to know how you died if you really died. You will get closure."
With that, Sam took out a syringe and gave him a shot.
Markan immediately drifted into sleep and slowly his vitality is being sucked by the crystal table.
This table has only one function at the moment and that is to make sure that vitality stays within the specified range.
As Markan became unconscious, Sam placed his hand on his forehead and calmly observed the situation. After he reached the desired state, Sam connected a tube to the vein of Markan and the blood slowly started coming out and collected into the tank.
After a few minutes, the blood moved from the tank to the pipes and then the lamps focused on it started glowing.
The light looked like a darker shade of violet almost like a black lamp and Sam placed his hand on the frame of the pipe network to use observation ability.
He closely monitored the reaction of the blood cells and the parasites in the blood.
After making sure that the cells are not dying out, he moved towards the collection tank where the blood is collected from the body. The vitality absorption of the blood cells is good enough.
Everything worked properly and as the parasites died, faint sediment is deposited on the pipeline.
Sam knew that this would happen.
But he didn't care much about it. If this machine is for constant use, it would indeed be problematic, but he is only using it for this one time. He didn't bother solving this problem.
The process was slow, but it is happening properly.
After an hour or so, the first portion of blood entered Markan's body after the parasites were cleaned out.
Sam instantly placed his hand on Markan and used his spiritual energy to control the blood. It wouldn't be accurate to call it control, rather he made his energy envelop it creating a faint barrier for every cell and the parasites that are already inside the body wanted to jump into this blood. Since the parasites only operate on the vitality and the elemental energy, normal spiritual energy has the highest resistance, and before they would be out of energy before they could do anything with the energy barrier.
Their only option would be to move out of the body following the bloodstream into the tank and feed on that vitality.
And after they reached the tank they are being sent into the pipeline and then died there.
The process went on for around four hours, Sam cut off the blood circulation outside and checked Markan's situation once again.
The parasite count completely went down.
As checked the blood samples, there are no traces of parasites.
Markan finally woke up and Sam checked all his vitals.
Except for a little delay in the reaction time and some numbness all over the body, there is nothing wrong.
Sam gave him some heavenly wine and after some recovery time, he asked.
"The results are good. Try and see if you can use your elemental energy."
Markan became a bit nervous at the thought and took a deep breath before extending their hand. He circulated his energy and when he opened his eyes a water bubble is hovering on his palm.
His nervousness disappeared and his eyes showed an expression of delight and happiness.
