Chapter 219: Absurd skill

The pain I was feeling was completely unbearable, at first I screamed like an animal being attacked, but then I lost my voice, every part of my body was continually being destroyed and rebuilt, it was true for my organs, flesh, nerves, bones and even my brain. 

At first, it just started with my flesh being destroyed and continually healing, it was difficult but not the worst, then came my veins and arteries I could feel like my blood was bubbling inside my body and burning my organs, then it was time to my muscles, tendons, and nerves. 

The pain I was feeling was the worst, the agony and suffering seemed to have no end, the thought of dying even crossed my mind, but disappeared soon after, even in my suffering I could hear the times of Vanessa and Layla crying to mine aside, I can't let them watch me die. 

Then it came to my organs, I felt I was going to die over and over again, I thought I would suffocate as my lungs were continually destroyed and healed, but I was closer to Death as my heart was destroyed and healed continually being rebuilt by this process, each Once my heart was destroyed by that energy I thought it would be the end of me, those moments were when I almost lost consciousness several times, but I kept my will strong. 

When it came time for my bones to be destroyed my body was already in such a destroyed state that I felt like I was being punished by the Gods, at the same time other parts of my body began to be destroyed which were my skin, eyes, tongue, etc. 

This torture felt like it was never going to end, I had completely lost track of time, I was no longer able to see, hear or breathe, all I had left was pain and my thoughts, but soon even my thoughts were taken away from me. 

When I felt that wild energy going to my brain and starting to destroy it, at that moment fear took over me, I was afraid of what would happen to my brain going through this infernal process, the worst thing was that at that moment I was lost only with the pain, there was nothing but pain and a desire to rest that only grew and grew. 

"(Don't you dare fall asleep, master!)" (Layla) 

"(Keep your conscience, fight to the end like you always did!)" (Layla) 

"(Don't you dare leave me now, you have to stand by me, Vanessa, Irina, Irius, Freya, Érica, Ibuki, Ivan, and the others!)" (Layla) 

"(So...so don't you dare give up you big idiot!)" (Layla) 

When my conscience was hazier and I was more confused with everything around me that was when I heard a crying voice inside me, I didn't understand what she was saying, I didn't even know who was talking or why I was sad, but something strong I felt an enormous desire to bear the tiredness, pain, and suffering. 

Using this unbelievable willpower I kept conscious of this torture that never ended, not knowing how much time had passed and still a little confused I feel the energy that caused all this suffering to run through my body and disappear into it little by little. 

Then I felt something warm envelop me, I tried to open my eyes a little but my vision was blurry, all I saw was some silhouettes approaching me and hugging me, for some reason it made me feel good. 

"You did very well, Dad."  (Vanessa) 

"Now you can rest, leave everything to us now."  (Irina) 

Hearing these voices soothed me, at that moment I realized how weak my body was, so my eyes closed and I was submerged in darkness falling into unconsciousness that I was trying to avoid before. 

zzzzzz...

Zzzzz...

zzzz... 

----------- 

I open my eyes and feel like I can't move my body, I try to look at what's holding me like this, that's when I saw it was Irius who was sitting by the bed, he was lying on top of me preventing me from getting out from the room without waking him up, so I look away and see Vanessa sleeping with Layla trapped in her cleavage. 

"(What happened?)" (I) 

My whole body was sore, but for some reason, I felt different, there was something different in me that I couldn't understand what it was, that's when the images of the night before crossed my mind. 

"(So this was all caused when I got 50% purity in the Dragon bloodline, it looks like the skill I got from that bloodline did something to my body.)" (I) 

I tried to use my skill to identify this ability that I got from the Dragon Bloodline. 

<[ Skill identification result:

"(What absurd skill is this?)" (I) 

"(How can an ability have so many effects?)" (I) 

"(Could the pain and suffering I felt was this ability applying these effects to my body?)" (I) 

I had so many doubts and I was so confused that I decided not to think about it, for now, I still have a lot to do and think, I'll think about it after I talk to Vanessa, it seems she knows something about it since she told me not lose consciousness. 

"I'm glad you woke up master."  (Freya) 

While I was lost in my thoughts I heard a door noise and Freya enters the room greeting me. 

"Good morning, Freya."  (I) 

"How long have I been unconscious this time?"  (I) 

"Only one night this time, but I advise the master to stop doing things that make him unconscious, it makes it seem like it's becoming a habit after so many times."  (Freya) 

"..." (I) 

"(It seems that what they say is true, against facts, not arguments.)" (I) 

After that Freya woke the others up so I could get out of bed, when they saw me awake Layla flew on my head and hugged my face while crying calling me an idiot several times, Vanessa just smiled at me with tears in the corners of her eyes and Irius just he breathed a sigh of relief as he said he was worried. 

After that everyone leaves the room, except Layla who stopped crying and lay on top of my head saying that she would be glued to me from today to stop doing stupid things. 

I get up and take off my clothes in front of a full-length mirror, I have no reason to feel ashamed of my body, it's also not the first to see Layla see me as she often enters the shower with me. 

"..." (I) 

I look at the mirror in surprise, my body is still very androgynous, but this time I see thin muscles in my body, seeing this my eyes get blurry and tears start to fall, finally, some muscles started to appear in this body, unfortunately, it doesn't change much my appearance since it's still a bit difficult to differentiate between my gender, but I hope I gain more muscle from now on. 

"(Looks like the body of a teenage athlete, it would be better if my face was a little more masculine.)" (I) 

After that I put my clothes back on, now that I've confirmed that my appearance hasn't changed much I don't feel calmer, so I look at my room and see something that catches my attention, there was a big red circular spot in the middle of my room. 

"This is your blood, Freya and Caryna tried to clean several times, but they couldn't."  (Layla) 

"It was horrible to hear your screams and see your body tear apart and regenerate continually, there was blood everywhere, I don't think I'll ever be able to forget about that."  (Layla) 

"Sorry..." (I) 

"You should apologize to the others too, Diana arrived after it was over but passed out the moment she saw your state."  (Layla) 

"Ivan had to stop Lyra from entering the room so he wouldn't see you like that."  (Layla) 

"Leo also prevented Caryna from entering, which was difficult as she has a lot of strength."  (Layla) 

"I'm sorry I made you see something like this, I'll try to be more careful from now on."  (I) 

My body is still a little sore, but I feel a lot better than when I woke up, so I won't be feeling anymore, I hope. 

After that I leave the room and go downstairs to eat something, the reaction of the others showed how worried they were about me, Ibuki did the same as Layla threw herself at me and hugged me while crying. 

Caryna looked tired and with dark circles under her eyes, it seems she couldn't sleep well during the night because of me, I apologize to everyone for the trouble I caused and for worrying everyone. 

After a nice meal and apologizing to everyone I decided to go outside, I grab a big thick blanket and take it to a couple of trees and use my lines to build a hammock where I lie, this week has been very busy, I want to take this day to review my growth since I started exploring Dungeon Cadaver. 

I want to review my work, skills, and level to see how much I have grown during this week.
