Honestly, Rael thought that the old man saw him, but from the looks of things, he didn't. There was a thin line between being stupid and blind, and this man was both.
How could he treat himself so badly? Sure, he wanted to tough it out and perhaps get stronger, but where was the effort? Where was the drive? This guy was just waiting around to die.
Rael clicked his tongue and did a more thorough look. William's eyes were open, but they were dull. He wasn't able to see anything, because his retinas were burned off somehow.
Then, there was also one more issue at hand. The Demon Core that Lilith supposedly destroyed was still leaking Demonic Mana. Not to mention, everything that mana touched, it turned to mush.
Well, not exactly mush, but soft and liquidy. The mana turned mushy and liquidy, thus making itself much harder to travel throughout his body. At first, it might not have been a big deal, but he had become a vegetable now, so that was that.
