299 Energy Pathways

"Wh-what is that light?" A man vocalized looking at 4 Times Square with wide eyes of astonishment and shock.

The same questions were passing through the minds of everyone around walking by the building.

The odd thing about this brilliance of light, however, was that it couldn't be stopped by the buildings or whatnot as it directly passed through them as it came out visible from the other side of the building too. This ensured that as long as the wave of shine proceeded, everyone would be capable of spotting it!

And because of this, even people who were in a rather long distance from 4 Times Square building in New York were able to witness this mysterious and incomprehensible light which made one realize the difference by a simple gaze.

This also instantly alarmed many officials of high positions in both the city itself and the entire country as a whole!

Meanwhile, on the highest floor of 4 Times Square, the golden beauty who had been stunned silly up to this point finally snapped out of it as she dashed into the direction of the room.

"Master!!!" Opening the door in an absolute hurry, she jumped into the room as she looked at her master whose left hand was emitting that luminescence everywhere.

"Wh-what's wrong with your hand, master!" Horrified, she barked.

As beads of sweat and paleness had long covered his face by now, Virus muttered weakly, "N-nothing… Y-you can leave… go… protect the floor, don't allow anyone to e-enter h- Ahhh…" By the end of his sentence, he abruptly let out a yelp of agony.

_______________

As his hand started to glow in an extreme light even more brilliant than the sun in some way. Virus was wondering what was happening with his left hand when abruptly, his entire face went extremely pale like a sheet!

Because he suddenly realized, some kind of energy was being released to the rest of his body from the source of light within his left hand, the part where the energy was most intense at, as it wreaked havoc everywhere it traveled!

Due to this realization, immediately releasing all of his own unique awareness on every part of his physique, in addition to his weak awareness of his Energy Pathways which he had gained by entering the first level of Energy Disentanglement stage, he began to inspect every fraction of his body!

A few seconds passed when, much to his stupor, he noticed that mysterious stream of energy, which was nothing like anything he had ever seen before, sweeping within the pathways of his left hand.

Though the stupefying fact which sent shivers down to Virus' spine wasn't this! It was the very fact that it was destroying the Energy Pathways of his left hand!

Boom!

One of the Energy Pathways within his left hand which extended to many parts of his body, starting from his fingers, began to burst apart!

The energy was indeed damaging his Energy Pathways!

No… it wasn't simply damaging them. To be more exact, it was fully destroying his Pathways to the point of nothing remaining of them!

This was accompanied by a sharp excruciating pain that was as if someone was blowing up his very nerves from inside out!

However, due to Virus having an unwavering level of determination, he didn't falter as he never even let out the slightest of noise due to experiencing this kind of affliction which would've long made anyone scream and even faint in pain!

Unfortunately, though, it looked like this was just the beginning, as the energy flowed and swept through his other Energy Pathways too. And everywhere the energy was flowing into, it was followed by a muffled sound of 'Boom' as that place was annihilated to the point of no return at all!

Bang!

At this point, a complete Energy Pathway was destructed to the point of nihility! Now, it appeared as if there was nothing there in that part of the body from the very start!

Unluckily for him, the energy continued to violently course through his Pathways as every single place it went to, chaos and annihilation followed!

Bam!

A second Energy Pathways was entirely destructed, from its beginning to the end!

Then it was followed by a third!

Gnashing his teeth with bloodshot eyes, Virus, however, continued to persist without even a single moan!

Nevertheless, watching his twelve Energy Pathways bursting apart one after another, a kind of despair and gloom flickered within his eyes! A kind of despair he knew could not return from!

This was because… if his Energy Pathways had been damaged to some degree, although he couldn't have been capable of making it as new as before, he still would've been capable of repairing them to some extent. But unfortunately, as if God was playing a huge joke on him, they were being demolished and leveled to the point of no return! To the degree that one would think there was no passage in the body to begin with. A natural-born cripple without any aptitude for cultivation! And even Virus couldn't fix something like this!

By now, the strange energy was wreaking havoc in two of his Energy Pathways Simultaneously as an instant later, both of them were no more!

Boom!

"Wh-what's wrong with your hand!" He heard a terrified scream all of a sudden.

Looking at the source, he saw that it was the golden beauty gazing at him with clear worry displaying itself within her eyes.

So, gathering every bit of will he had, he voiced rather helplessly, "N-nothing… Y-you can leave… go… protect the floor, don't allow anyone to e-enter h- Ahhh…"

Boom!

By the end of his sentence, however, three passages of energy exploded at the same time, and this level of pain was something that was hard even for Virus to grit his teeth through and persist on. So, he could only surrender and scream at the stabbing pain of suffering which had already entered a new realm altogether!
