Hikaru smiled and said: "Then... drink this..."
He said as he took out a small test tube containing a blue liquid and gave it to Painko.
Painko looked a bit confused when he saw the test tube, but he still reached out and received it from Hikaru.
"This is..." Painko asked in confusion.
"It's a medicine..." Hikaru explained: "It can help you become stronger, however, you will need to go through terrible pain."
"If you can't make it through the pain, you will... die."
When Painko heard this he gulped, frowned then clenched his teeth. He did not answer Hikaru but immediately opened the cap of the test tube in his hand, then drank the entire thing.
Hikaru didn't stop him but he silently stood and watched him.
'If you can overcome this terrible pain, you will be my pawn...'
Hikaru thought to himself. Through the 'event information', he learned Painko's true identity.
In fact, this fat guy's real name was Kiin, he was really a useless person, as he only stayed at home and lived off his parents' allowance.
Of course, he also had a dream, which is to become the main character in a fantasy novel like in an anime or manga.
However, reality was cruel, although he obtained extremely powerful super powers, in the end he could only become a stepping stone for the main character.
Moreover his woman did not love him as she secretly slept with the main character.
The main character did not feel that there was anything shameful with what his woman did; on the contrary, he felt that Kiin was the one at fault.
Anyway, that is how a main character usually thinks, anyway Hikaru did not care about who was right or wrong.
At this moment, he just stared at Kiin, and hoped he could successfully evolve.
If he successfully evolves, then... in the future, Rayze will have an extremely powerful opponent.
After drinking the evolution potion, Kiin felt like his body was as hot as an ember, no, to be more precise, he felt like he was being cooked.
"AAA!!!" Kiin screamed, his scream filled with pain and despair.
Kiin felt like his body was being torn into pieces at this moment, the pain stimulated his brain making him cry like a child.
He writhed for more than 10 minutes, which lasted longer than Hikaru expected.
Seeing Kiin in pain like this, Hikaru was not surprised. After all, previously, when Hikaru used the evolution medicine, he also felt terrible pain.
Kiin's body was even more pathetic than Hikaru's pre-evolution body. Therefore, the pain that Kiin is enduring will be much greater than the pain that he endured.
After 10 minutes, Kiin lay on the ground, he was relieved that the pain had passed. He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had just had a trip to hell, then returned to the human world.
Suddenly, Kiin felt that he was easily breathing. He had never breath this easily before.
There seemed to be a huge source of energy in his body that made him feel that even if he ran 10 kilometers he would not feel tired.
It must be known that, before he evolved even walking 1 kilometer would make him so tired that he would faint.
But now it was different...
Kiin sat up, and examined his body. He noticed that the fat on his body had disappeared, and was replaced by extremely strong muscles.
Even his big belly has disappeared, replaced by the six-pack abs he once dreamed of.
However, on his body there was a layer of black mucus like mud, and it was extremely stinky. The smell emnatimg from it was similar to the smell of a dead mouse and rotten eggs, and this made Kiin nauseous.
"So... I think it makes the most sense to leave it to Kiin. After becoming an evolved person, Kiin can more easily receive the super power to control gravity."
"And of course, he can also develop that superpower faster than his previous self in Rayze's timeline."
"It makes the most sense for him and Rayze to fight each other."
[Ah! That sounds great... but, Master, you have other plans, right?]
Hikaru heard Rika's words and smiled coldly: "Yes, I look forward to Kiin's future."
[Are you looking for Rayze?]
"That's right."
[Ah! Do you think he's still alive?]
"Of course. If he died that easily, he wouldn't be a main character."
Hikaru moved through the forest for more than 20 minutes before he Found Rayze lying on the ground.
At this time, Rayze's body was covered in snow. Although the explosion was very large and terrible, it was still a pressurised explosion, without fire.
That's why snow quickly covered the entire place. But thanks to Hikaru's infrared glasses, he still easily found Rayze.
[Are you going to kill him?]
"Hahaha... if I could kill him, I would have done it a long time ago."
"Even though he is lying motionless in front of me now, however, I think that if I wanted to kill him, something would definitely happen."
"Besides... I have no intention of killing him."
After Hikaru finished speaking, he approached Razye and checked his body once.
"Here you are..."
He took out from Rayze's pocket a small hexagonal piece of metal the size of a hand. There were many strange characters engraved on it, but Hikaru didn't know what they are.
However, upon seeing this piece of metal, Hikaru smiled with satisfaction.
He immediately put that piece of metal into the Panara Space, then went deeper into the forest.
As soon as Hikaru left, the Burial Catfish appeared in the air, where Rayze was lying.
It looked down at Rayze, opened its mouth again, and a pressure ball appeared in its mouth.
While Rayze's life was in danger, something strange happened.
The burial Catfish seemed to sense something, it turned its head to look into the distance, where there was a sea.
It stared at the sea for a long time, then flew in that direction, disappearing into the darkness.
Rayze had no idea that he had once again escaped death thanks to his main character's aura.
Hikaru of course didn't care about that because he knew Rayze would definitely live for some reason.
At this moment, Hikaru arrived at the center of the explosion, he searched for a long time,then discovered Rayze's two daggers.
That's right, when Rayze's life was in danger, he threw these two daggers to block the Burial Catfish's pressure ball.
Hikaru held those two daggers in his hand, and felt that this weapon was more suitable for him than the axe.
"Found you... Curse dagger."
