Chapter 63: Chain Breaker

Chapter 63: Chain Breaker

There was something strange about all this. But I wasn't going to try and solve whatever mystery surrounded the village. That was the kind of thing Agon would do and be able to crack this mystery.

Instead, I followed what the village head said and walked out. A dense mist surrounded me as soon as I stepped foot out of the door. I couldn't even see my own hands.

"Remember! Don't look back!" Said the village head's daughter, her voice growing raspy like an elderly woman. "Just think of a place you want to be and keep walking!"

A chill went down my spine.

I just realized I never asked her name. But now wasn't the time to think about that. Instead, I signaled Carpy not to look back, either.

It was probably dumb luck that I stumbled on something like this. I thanked all my lucky stars out there and prayed. Because I didn't get stuck on something for eternity until the end of times, that would be worse than death!

Expecting some kind of battle or test, I was surprised that when I came out of the mist, I was in a green field between two mountains.

Oh, so I got transported here. These mountains looked like I hadn't traveled far from where I was.

In the middle of the field was a small hut, and a woman was sleeping on a wooden rocking chair. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

She had long blonde hair and pale skin and wore a green dress. There was an aura of otherworldly beauty about her that would make any man fall in love too easily.

No, I must concentrate! Think of the cool magic stuff!

Women are temporary! Cool magic shit is forever!

Getting closer to her, I felt the charm overwhelm me. Even my brain was slower. Was this how the isekai protagonists felt when close to women or traps?

Shit! I didn't think the lust aura alone would be so strong!

No, no. I'm a man who can control his urges! I won't make a fool of myself!

"Excuse me, are you Ellen D Fork?" I tried to play it calm and put on a practiced smile. The raging emotions inside me were about to burst out. But I tried to keep them under a tight leash.

The young woman opened her eyes. They were sky blue. She looked me up and down and then smirked. "Nice, you look healthy. I bet your organs will go for quite the price in the market."

What?! What the hell did she say?!!

Wasn't she supposed to be the woman who would train Sei and then train Agon later on? She was one of the best Ord teachers out there.

She should be a good person. Hopefully, I wasnt before some transitioning period where she was a bloodthirsty killer before becoming a good teacher. "Hahaha, I bet my organs wouldn't sell for a lot. I have a trashy diet."

Using the demon she had below where the young man was standing. She could tell he wasn't lying.

It was an interesting ability. Ellen never thought she would one day find someone crazy enough to try something like this. What if the ability manifested wrong, and he was stuck in an emotionless state? His ability could have sucked up his emotions as payment.

He didn't look like it, but the kid was reckless. Making abilities with such urgency as a Master was asking to be mentally tortured.

Not like she could criticize others about their abilities. Ellen was embarrassed just thinking about her own. She always told others she accidentally manifested her special ability when she was seven.

Actually, she did when she was twelve. But her ability was too embarrassing to reveal that fact!

Kids having Ord was a disaster waiting to happen. But some awakened early, which was usually an accident due to the affinity testing mosquitoes. Others were just too talented and in tune with their inner energy.

On average, kids' abilities were stronger than the ones created as an adult. They barely had any conditions to them. But that was like rolling the dice because you sometimes got a silly special power.

"A special ability can say a lot about their user," Ellen smirked. She was trying to look a bit mysterious. She had experience fighting many ability users, so she had an instinct for it. "For example, Perfect Me is an ability created by someone unconfident."

"Unconfident?"

"Not in the exact literal sense. Or you would have developed an ability that removes your fear or makes you better looking."

"Did you just call me ugly?"

"I'm talking about insecurity in your actions. That's why you developed an ability that can always make the theoretically best move with the knowledge you have." An ability sometimes tells more about its maker than they themselves might know.

In this case, Perfect Me showed what Kon saw as the perfect version of himselfan emotionless fighting machine.

Without a doubt, such an ability like Perfect Me could only be created by a kind person. Its user was someone who wanted to be cold but couldn't.

Ellen wanted to see if the youngster had creativity. He had a good ability, but did he know how to use it? "Just use your ability in a way you've never used before. Show me that you're a gem worth polishing."

"You're quite the demanding lady," he shrugged. Not seeming even a bit nervous about the prospect of using a new side of his ability he had never used before. "Make sure to heal me after this, okay?"

"Don't worry about it, she had one of the best healing abilities out there. Though it was a bit weird how confident he seemed in her healing ability. Why was he trusting her to heal him? This was the first time they had met.

"Okay."

As soon as he said that, veins crawled under his skin. His eyes turned bloodshot. The way his skin started flushing red, it looked like his blood was trying to escape his body.

'His blood is circulating and spreading through his body at enormous speed.'
