Battling The Champion's Demons

Replicus didn't really feel like wasting another Supreme potion on the Paladin Champion. He had surmised that the one he had given the poor man would keep him alive for 24 hours, but would ultimately be unable to heal him. More than half of that time had passed, and he had dedicated a portion of it to attempting to find a solution to the plague that was deep set within the man.

Ordinary healing skills – and Replicus had recovered many from treasures and tools – didn't work even with his powerful surge of mana from [Sage Save] and [Sage Strain], which bolstered the effectiveness of his skills by virtue of them being used via a higher grade of core than was necessary.

Replicus had expected this outcome though, and could only resort to more drastic means than before.
