Chapter 322 Aella's Evolution (4)

The place was not a void. It was not some room. It was a forest, similar to the one in which they were standing but the difference was, that there was no sound at all.

It was so quiet that it was actually scary!

Aella turned her head here and there, looking all around for Shin because the place seemed somewhat familiar, but no. Shin was nowhere to be found! This was scarier for Aella.

'What is going on?'

'What happened?'

'Why did master vanish so suddenly?', her eyeballs started to shake vigorously.

She tried to recall the immediate past of what had happened but fie, she could barely remember anything.

It was a test of some sort. It seemed that way. If only Aella could recall the fact that she was undergoing evolution, then everything would have been easy. However, it seemed as if she failed to do so.

The only thing she could remember was Shin standing in front of her and talking to her. As she closed her eyes and tried to live the same moment again, she could see Shin's mouth moving, but no sound could be heard.

'What was master saying? What exactly happened…?', she remained confused for another minute or so.

*tap tap*

She then decided to walk while trying to recall.

However, when she tried to move her leg, she realized that she was shackled with chains.

'What!?'

'Chains…?'

'H-'

'Whe-'

The chains appeared the moment she thought about walking. They weren't present earlier.

She was so shocked by the chains that she started to pull herself away from the chains, trying to break free from them.

Unfortunately, she failed. Even after the hundredth try, she couldn't move, let alone free herself.

She was scared, all this time. The feeling of horror just kept pressing her towards the ground. But she didn't give up.

'There is no way that master Shin would throw me into danger…'

'For me, he searched the entire forest, invaded two human kingdoms, and even destroyed one of the human kingdoms…'

'No…'

'It's not only me…'

'Even for all the subordinates, he would never put them in a death situation.'

Aella believed in Shin. She believed in all the good deeds he had done for her. She believed in him blindly, trusting that he was nearby.

She couldn't smell, she couldn't hear, and it seemed like her sense of touch seemed to go away as well.

Her limbs had started to bleed yet she no longer felt pain - it was proof of her sense of touch fading away.

'Perhaps my sense of taste has already gone too.', she said to herself as her entire body was hit with a lot of fatigue.

'I am tired…'

'It would be better if I rest a bit…'

'Master will surely come and rescue me, like always…', she convinced herself that she would be saved by Shin.

It was as if she had taken Shin's help for granted.

For all her mistakes, Shin couldn't possibly come and save her ass! She had to learn to save herself too!

In fact, Aella was definitely capable of doing so. She was not just some small pup. She was a big larger than Shin despite his evolution. She could do way more than just give up!

But right now, that was all in her mind.

She had thought about Shin to keep herself motivated and try her best to be freed, but it had the opposite effect.

She instinctively felt that it was the best choice to give up and wait for Shin to come.

'I will wait…'

'He will definitely come…'

And finally, her vision started to blur out too. The last of the five senses, the vision was also going away from her.

Slowly yet steadily, she was becoming blind.

'He will come…', as this resonated in her mind, half of her vision was taken away.

'He will…', only 25% of the vision remained.

Even with that, she could barely see anything. It was dark.

"He…", only 1% of the vision remained.

What could she possibly even do now? She did not even have the will to fight or resist.

She had already given up and with all the senses being snatched away, she would be nothing more than a yolk of an egg.

"He-", and with this, 100% of his vision was lost.

She couldn't feel anything. She couldn't see, touch, taste, smell, or hear anything. Her mind too became blank.

It felt as if her brain was also not working, as if it was shutting down slowly.

And as her brain almost shut down, a thought bombarded her mind. It took the form of a question as her belief changed into doubt - 'Will he come?'

Exactly at this moment, as if answering this question, a single word passed through all the barriers and reached her brain!

"Aella." - Shin uttered the word as he waited outside for Aella to exit.

The voice was filled with love and care. It was as if he was scared and worried as well when he uttered her name.

Despite not being to hear anything, the word reached her. Even if the ears had lost the sensory functions, the word directly reached the brain, which had yet to stop functioning.

​ Just a single word, as if working like an energy drink or an energy boost, suddenly rejuvenated her!

A shock was sent throughout her entire body, giving her enough strength to re-develop her sense of hearing. It helped her re-develop her other senses as well - touch, sight, smell, and taste.

'I knew it…'

"I knew…"

"I knew you would come to save me, master…", Aella said as she walked out of the white sphere in her majestic form, by breaking all the shackles that restricted her.

"Aella…", Shin called out her name in relief as she finally exited the white sphere which vanished into the thin air.

"Yes master, I am back.", Aella said as she wagged her tail at the sight of Shin.

"…"
