The moment Roxanna heard Commander Marlow's words, she couldn't stop herself from blurting out, "What do you mean by that? Are you dying?!"
The evil Roxanna had never bothered to learn anything about her warriors, so there was nothing in her memories she could rely on.
And judging from everyone's shocked faces, it seemed nobody else knew either, except Zeir.
Zeir still looked calm, but that very calmness showed that he had known about the commander's condition from the beginning.
Meanwhile, Commander Marlow let out a tired sigh. Anyone could see that he was very reluctant to talk about his condition.
"I'm suffering from… the Feral Phase," he finally said. "I've had it for about eight months now, and I believe that sooner or later, it will get worse if I keep serving as commander."
Roxanna had only ever heard about that condition through the evil Roxanna's memories, but she still didn't truly understand what it meant.
