Chapter 95 Healing With Dark Element

As soon as Jason opened his eyes, he was met with Risa's eyes looking at him with concern.

"You took your sweet time to wake up!" Risa exclaimed the moment she saw that Jason was awake.

Her voice caused movement inside the room Jason was present in. Moments later, Issac and Zilan were staring at him.

Issac had a relieved look on his face while Zilan was looking at him with curiosity. The prime minister couldn't be blamed since he had been trying to figure out what had happened when Jason and Amber had collapsed.

"I will come talk to him soon. Let me go check up on the girl's condition as well to see whether she is awake or not." Zilan silently left the room.

Jason was now left alone with his grandparents, both of whom were looking at him with wary expressions.

"I know we have asked this multiple times before but tell us, what happened?" Risa inquired as Jason sighed and sat up.

"Get me some water first." He requested as Issac quickly brought him a glass of water.

Jason drank it slowly before looking at both of his grandparents. He then told them about the screeching sound he had heard and the words that someone had told him.

Jason didn't tell them anything about his dream world because for the time being, he wanted to be the only one to know this information.

'Well, excluding you of course.' Jason thought. He knew that the system was also listening to his words carefully.

[ Tell me the things you didn't tell them later on. ] It reminded.

'No need to tell me that. I will do it regardless.' Jason replied and soon after, he finished telling the details to Risa and Issac.

Both of them exchanged a glance and a silent understanding passed between them.

"Looks like you might have been contacted by the Ash Phoenix for real." Risa commented as Jason shrugged.

"I mean if that was a Phoenix's cry, sure. This just means that something dangerous is going to happen in the future." Issac muttered. "Maybe I should go pay the king a visit about this."

"As if he is going to meet up with you," Risa countered. "The least we can do is to tell Zilan and leave things in his hands. If things go bad, we can always protect ourselves and let the world burn."

"Good thing I didn't fell in love with a brute…" Issac muttered as Risa gave him a perky smile.

"If you did, I probably would have to steal you from her."

"Its hard to sway me but who knows, maybe you would've succeeded."

"Does that mean that you can still be swayed?" Risa asked in a dangerous voice.

Issac grinned before replying, "Only if that woman is you."

"Ahem…" Jason faked a cough to let his grandparents know that he was still present in the room. Both of them could flirt somewhere else for the time being.

"Right, you are still here. Go ahead and rest for some more time. We will be back to check up on you later." Issac replied and moved towards the door with Risa.

"Wait, at least tell me how long I was out for!" Jason shouted

"You were out for a week. Your body is completely in sync with your guardian and I suggest you to not move for the coming few hours. Your body is in a delicate condition due to your bond with your guardian being completed." Risa answered.

The two of them then left the room. Jason watched the door close before sighing.

'System, there are a lot of things that you are going to surprise you. Be prepared.' Jason thought before he launched into an explanation about the things he had witnessed inside his dream world.

The system listened attentively and was shocked to find out that anther system existed inside Jason's dream world. It was even more shocked when Jason told it about Tet.

[ You have some insane luck. ] The system commented.

'Luck swings both good and bad way.' Jason reminded before he laid on the bed. He stared at the ceiling with a bored expression.

Jason wanted to get moving but he took Risa's words seriously. Furthermore, the system had taken a scan of his body and it had turned out to be true.

'I don't want to sleep though…' Jason's slowly turned in his bed. 'I wish I could practice my healing ability…'

As soon as the thought had entered Jason's mind, he stood up and looked at his right hand. The ring of Vancouver he had received as the winning prize was glistening on his finger.

Jason slid the ring of his finger and changed it into a dagger. Jason looked at his hand and at the dagger before gulping.

[ You are not going to do what I think you are going to do… ] the system warned.

'I'm exactly going to do what you think I am going to do. I might be able to discover more about my healing ability as well as increase my pain tolerance.' Jason pointed out while bringing the dagger closer to his hand.

Jason was no M or S so it wasn't exactly easy for him to wound his own arm. But for the sake of research, Jason mustered some courage and cut a long gash alongside his arm.

He didn't flinch once and simply kept his teeth clenched. Once he was done creating the wound, Jason tried searching for his healing ability.

He reached deep inside him and summoned his mana. However, the result wasn't what he had been expecting.

'I definitely did something wrong…' Jason thought as the wound on his arm was suddenly covered with a gooey black stuff.

Jason felt as though he had dipped his hand in ice cold water. The feeling was both relaxing and numbing.

The goo slowly started seeping into his skin and in a matter of minutes, it vanished. Jason's wound had also closed but the process had been a bit weird.

[ You summoned both the wrong and the correct element at the same time. ] The system explained after finishing its analysis. [ The gooey stuff was created from dark element yet it had light element mixed inside it. ]

'That means that I healed myself with the help of dark element?'

[ Basically yet since the light element was present in too small particles. We can experiment more and see the results. ]

'Yeah, we will surely do more experiments.' Jason replied as the dagger suddenly contracted into a ring. 'But we will do that some other day.'

Summoning the small amount of mana had drained Jason much more than expected. He had a feeling that if he tried the same thing a few more times, he would be knocked out once again.

'Ugh, I hate having such a delicate child-like body…' Jason complained.

[ Ahem, need I remind you that you are still ten and the only way to strengthen your body is a healthy diet and perhaps some exercise. Or if you want a quick way, you can find some artifact to give you a boost. ]

'Artifact hunting. Add that to my to do list…' Jason replied before closing his eyes.

[ This list is only going to keep getting bigger if you don't do something about it soon. ] The system sighed knowing well enough that its host was out cold.
