He felt an immense sensation of cold that instantly numbed his body and soul. While the dark energy from his heart starts to fight back from the dangerous invader.
Lou's body shook violently for a bit. He only felt as if his tailbone had instantly been run through by something. That sharp and pointed object pierced through his skin, muscles, and flesh, and buried itself firmly into his skeleton.
This sort of pain that came from one's mind was something that humans were simply unable to withstand. Lou instantly widened his mouth, and his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of his eye sockets. His body started trembling violently, from extreme pain and cold.
He wants to shout loud but he will only attract unwanted things to them while making Mafuyu worried.
He only grits his teeth and endures the pain, his eyes are already red, the sweat coming out from him starts to freeze after coming out.
Lou's chest started moving up and down vigorously. He greedily gasped for the surrounding cold air in big mouthfuls.
At this moment, his body started sweating profusely, even in this freezing cold field of the Forbidden Zone, so much so that he wanted to dig his skin and remove that thing that he absorbed. It was obvious how intense that surge of pain was.
'Persevere, persevere. No matter what, I can't give up.' It was difficult for him to endure the pain, but he was currently completely focused on numbing his senses while chanting and trying to distract his thought from the pain
Lou's body trembled incessantly. A layer of ice beads had already formed on his skin that was created by his sweat freezing up while some of his sweat is floating in the pool. Traces of blood had already started seeping out from his body, causing some sweat to become colored red forming a crimson red marble.
The speed at which the blood within his body was circulating had already reached an astonishing degree. If this were anyone else, they would've already exploded and died but Lou is different, he will never die even if he bite his tongue, because of his super regeneration all the damage he recessive is healing faster than the damage he gets from time to time.
And then the Kagune behind him pop-out on its own while shedding the layer of the shell of it releasing intense cold making the pool that starts to freeze, but not much only the place where Lou is staying.
Then the jade-green lights start to shine covering his spine, sternum, and ribs. As time passed, all his body started to shine, these strands of jade-green light started gradually expanding and widening, creating an outline of Lou's entire skeleton and vein in his body.
'System, what happening, the hell this kind of pain,' Lou inward curse.
System,' Endure it host, you need to endure…. Well even you did not endure it you will still success, but you need to think about the people waiting for you'
System, of course, knows if Lou's mind suddenly gives up, he will become mentally dead even though his body is alive, and that thing System doesn't want to happen.
The pain Lou felt began to change yet again. The previously extreme pain gradually transformed, and an alternating feeling of extreme cold that began to spread throughout all of the bones.
Lou's body starts to become stiff, then he feels that his body organ starts to stop, even breathing starts to get hard. He feels that death really arrives but his brain is pushing him not to lose consciousness. If not he will never see the light again.
Lou was even starting to become somewhat muddle-headed. No matter how strong his willpower was, he was still unable to continue resisting such violent bouts of pain.
...….
Ding! System force activates Heavenly Flame 'Green Lotus Core Flame'
...….
The first moment would be so cold as to make him shiver, but the moment right after that was so hot that it evaporated all the ice beads off his body.
Lou now knows what means to feel cold then suddenly hot, this is the hell on earth, he even starts to think why need to become powerful if he can get his internal silence if he sleeps.
But some part of his brain is pushing him to move forward, a couple of hands pushing him to continue, trying to strive for the best, and never giving up.
Mafuyu who's floating silently in the pool feels the water start to get colder, she then looks around and sees Lou's body shining in a green light, while extreme cold and green flame gushing out from his body.
"Lou, what happens?!" Mafuyu hurriedly asked, from the red beads floating in the water, she knew that Lou was bleeding right now.
Hearing her voice, Lou slowly open his eyes, he wry smile and said," I-Im fine, don't worry about me, continue what you're doing,"
Hearing the forced voice coming from him, Mafuyu knows that something is really happening, she wants to get closer but an invisible barrier is forcing him to stay away from Lou.
Mafuyu shouts but Lou's unconsciousness starts to blur, his brain only functioning by hypnotizing himself to stay awake.
The day became night, and night became day again. The jade-green light on Lou's body was becoming increasingly intense, and the alternating colors of intense green and light green.
After 3 days of suffering, Lou who's inside of a block of ice starts to awake, Mafuyu who is watching him sees that Lou starts to move.
Lou slowly opens his eyes and then an intense green light comes out from his eyes, then slowly the light is gone and Lou's blue eyes become emerald green.
Mafuyu jolts seeing it, but she worries more about what happens to Lou so she swims fast to check him.
Lou sees his fatigue face, he can't help but to go to her, Mafuyu checks his body and seeing his fine, she sighs relief.
"What happened to you?" Mafuyu angry asked.
"Wife don't worry, i just start to evolve a higher being," Lou then starts to tell a bunch of lies to her, she doesn't want her to know what really happens because this secret will only endanger her in the future.
Hearing that he is okay, Mafuyu starts to feel weak, and sleepy, she then hugs Lau and starts to rest.
Lou seeing him fall asleep carry him back ashore when he is about to swim, Lou suddenly notices something.
The part of the pool he is floating has already become a block of ice without them noticing it.
Lou then uses his Kagune to push them out from the ice, and when he is about to step on the water, the water becomes ice and Lou's feet did not even touch the water.
He walks again and just like what happened, the pool froze instantly, seeing the change Lou needed to see what really happened to him, but now, this change is convenient because he doesn't need to swim back while carrying Mafuyu.
