Chapter 70 - Sudden Change (3)

"Tahw si shti pceal? Owh ddi I tge reeh? I dnot rebmerem ngihynat..."

After Asil spoke, he quickly took his hand to his mouth while suddenly a strange expression appeared on his face. He didn't know the meaning of what he said and why he used words like that. It was as if the actual sentences he wanted to speak were coming out senseless because of the problem in his head.

As Asil tried to understand what he was talking about, he felt a sudden pain in his head, and his memory slowly began to come back. The things he remembers at first were the days he lived in the Mirza Clan. Then he remembered living in Kastor, meeting Medivh, having conversations with him, and finally the mission they were on. When he remembered all of this, he quickly looked at his body and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

Now that his memory has come back, he can clearly remember what the huge shadow that suddenly appeared caused till it hit him until he regained his senses. It destroyed everything that came in its way or threw it away after doing great damage. Asil had lost the ability to breathe for a moment as this energy approached him. Even the pressure that the energy wave created before it hit him was enough to kill him. Such a wave of energy had hit him. He was absolutely sure of that. He also suffered a serious injury to his shoulder while fighting earlier. But there was nothing unexpectedly different in his body right now.

It was completely sturdy. There was no physical damage or pain in his body. It was as if the things in his memories hadn't actually happened and it was all a dream.

After Asil looked at himself a little more with his eyes full of disbelief, he turned around and saw the current state of the huge rock he had been crashed into after the collision. On the surface of the rock, a semi-sphere-shaped pit with a width of three meters and a depth of one meter was formed. In addition, the middle section of this pit was completely torn apart, and from this part, every few seconds, a piece of stone was falling to the ground. Besides, a large number of cracks of different sizes, the largest of which was this fragmented section at the center, reaching up to twenty meters in size, were spread in all directions over the rock. When Asil saw this, he knew that what made the rock look this way was that he hit it.

Asil looked around once more after looking at the rock. When he first opened his eyes, he looked around, but because of the memory problem in his head, he didn't pay much attention to what he saw. But this time things around really got his attention.

On the ground in the middle of the woodland opposite the great rock, a huge flat pit had formed, running straight towards the great rock, long enough to reach distances beyond sight, five meters wide and ending a few meters away from the rock. Thirty meters around this pit, all the stuff was gone, as if it had been turned to dust and then dragged elsewhere by the wind. Many of the trees in the hundred-meter area around Asil were also destroyed, causing extensive damage to the forest as it collapsed and hit other trees as well.

Asil understood that all of this was caused by the energy emitted only as it moved forward after being ejected by the energy wave. But how powerful that thing that emitted an energy wave could cause something like this? More importantly, how can he have no physical damage after being hit by such an energy wave with enormous subsequent power?

When Asil was trying to figure out what had happened, something suddenly came to his mind that he had forgotten, and he lost no time, exclaiming nervously in his mind: "Master...Master, are you all right? Master, answer me!!"

What Asil had in mind was the roar of his master as the energy wave struck him, followed by a black aura enveloping his body. When he thought about it, he knew that the master was the reason he survived. But because Sirius was in a condition in which he cannot use much energy, he was worried about him since his master did something like this.

Asil shouted several more times but did not receive any reply from his master. Asil continued to shout as his eyes soaked in remorse, and when the first drop from his eye slowly poured out, very angry and also tired voice of Sirius echoed in his mind.

"Brat, stop yelling!! I'm very tired right now... It's hard to even talk to you when I am in this situation. I used too much energy for you today. Although my strength is restored in battle, it is not so much the energy that comes as I do not take away the Life Essence of those who died. But it was still happening at a level I could handle. But that son of a bitch came and fucked up all my energy. Damn. Look at me falling for such a lame profound monster. I used almost all my power against a bug that wouldn't even dare breathe in front of me under normal circumstances because of that fucking seal. I don't even have the energy to open my eyes right now. And if that's not enough, I'm trying to suppress the energy that suddenly appeared in your soul, which is frantically trying to get into your Dantian. Brat, you're a very troubled person. It's been trouble from the beginning."

After Sirius spoke this much, there was resentment in his voice and then he continued to speak.

"Brat, listen carefully to what I have to say. I'm trying to suppress the mysterious energy that suddenly appeared inside you right now. This energy, which I don't know how or where it came from, is powerful enough to make you level up a few levels. So if I stop pushing him, you can jump a few levels. But in this case, you will be vulnerable to any attack from the environment, and since I have used most of my power after that bastard's attack, there will be nothing I can do to protect you this time. I can keep suppressing that energy for another hour at most. So find a safe place during that time. Then I'll stop suppressing the energy and go to sleep. I don't even know if I'll ever wake up. So promise me now. If we never get together again and I really die of energy deprivation, you're gonna work hard and get stronger and you're gonna find that bastard and give him hell. Promise me."

After Sirius's speech, the Asil's eyes widened in fear, and he spoke as the flames of regret inside occupied his entire soul: "Master, I apologize... I'm sorry... You've... You've used all of your power to protect me... Master, what can I do to boost your power shortly? Master, is there any way? Please tell me if there is any... I will do whatever it takes... Please master..."

After the Asil's remorseful speech, Sirius slowly replied: "There are actually two ways, but you can't do the way that is safe because you don't know The Art of the Black Death. The other way around is going to be a negative influence on your development. So I wouldn't advise you to do that."

As soon as Sirius was silent, Asil refused, raising his voice: "Master, I am the reason you have become this. Do you really think I'd be afraid of the price of saving you? Whatever the price is, just tell me the way. What do you need? My development, my arm, my leg, or my eye... I don't care what it takes, just tell me how to do it, master. What do I have to do to save you?"

After the Asil's speech, Sirius remained silent for a while and then spoke: "Brat, if you are so determined then listen well. I can hold this power for an hour at most. So you have to do this method before that time. You'll need a profound monster core for that. Find as many profound monster cores as you can in half an hour. Then put them in your spatial ring and get in this damn necklace and come over here. We'll discuss the rest there."

As soon as Sirius's words were over, Asil immediately looked around and began running with all his might in a random direction. There was only one thing on his mind when he ran. No matter what, he had to get the cores from all the profound monsters he found. It didn't matter if he had to kill them.. All that mattered was the possibility that he could save his master.
