The breathing technique was at go. Intertwining the three waves in a particular twist, he oscillated them at different frequency while at the same time, controlling the flow of his blood to move in rhythm to get his heart beating at the stated rate.
In no time at all, Erian's face flushed red and he felt as though his muscle, blood vessels and skin was about to burst as the frequency turned destructive, threatening to rip his flesh apart.
Ten seconds passed and thick veins bulged out from underneath his skin. The words appeared in his Techniques list but then vanished like smoke. "Not yet! Just a little bit."
Through gritted teeth, Erian held on until the words popped up on his screen.
He immediately let go, breathing out a storm. His veins would have erupted if he held on for longer without merging the symbiosis with himself.
"Upgrade Symbiosis Bio-tech Reactor to legendary."
'',
His screen glitches rapidly and then blank as though it had frozen. Silence descended, along with a pressure that stuck against Erian's throat. "Is the system broken?"
In the next second, a familiar page appeared within his line of sight.

Erisn sharply inhaled! This upgrade had taken a million and hundred thousand energy points from his reserve! Wasn't this system just too cruel? He only prayed the rest was enough to upgrade his combat tactic and create a new nuclear equipment for him to use.
If was no use worrying about it. Now that he has upgraded hia nuclear technique, it was time to use.
Recolleting the method to merge with the symbiote, Erian brought the tank nearer to himself, unconsciously watching little cute tendrils extend out from the organism body, swaying.
He put off his cloth until he was naked and drained his body energy reserve and placed it within his system energy storage to stop himself from healing rapidly.
He withdrew a blade and using the breathing technique along with the specific wave frequencies, he inhaled sharply. Starting from his palm, he pierced deeply into his skin all the way to his bones, drawing a long line that seoersted his flesh. It was as though one was unzipping a bag as his flesh spread open.
The spread extended from his palm, to his wrist and the shoulder. Blood dripping rapidly from his arm, Erian didn't let out a single sound of pain as his body was being cut in a weird pattern, as if he was a spectator watching a show.
The blade traveled across his shoulder and extended towards his heart. The cut was slow and specific as he drew a pattern on his heart, careful not to let his ribs disturn his art.
He dragged the blade across the side of his ribs, drawing it towards his leg to the top of his feet. Time elapsed slowly, another pattern running along his other arm all the way to his head, careful not to nick his main artery. It extended towards his back.
Erian was currently like a man who was on the verge of death. But strangely, the amount of blood flowing out from Erian's opened up skin was very little. It was as though he didn't have blood in his body or the something was suppressing them.
'Hmm, I would later need to figure out the technique stopping blood from flowing, would be really useful later.' clearing his thought, he dropped the blade and carefully picked up the symbiote, placing it above his heart.
The symbiote has only touched his skin when it was dived straight into his chest through the pattern moving apart the two flesh.
Erian felt a cooling sensation enter his chest, making his gasp in surprise. He had thought it would be painful, but the cooling sensation of the symbiote was quite relaxing.
'',
But Erian didn't think like that for long. He felt a sharp sting in his heart like thunder had struck his heart. As though that wasn't enough, the sharp sensation occured in his chest, where the line was and extended according to the lines he had drawn.
Erian inhaled deep sharp breathe as the feeling was as though he was being stabbed by a million knifes! It didn't pale in comparison to the pain he felt during the experimentation process!
"Was I being lied to? It wasn't supposed to be this painful! F*uck!!!" Sweat dropped down his body, some dropping into his opened flesh, causing sharp stinging pain that him curse out in anger while he felt another squirming feeling attach directly to his spine. Causing him great deal of pain.
But one thing Erian was more familiar with was pain, and he could withstand it for a long period of time without giving up. This thought calmed him down and continued the breathing technique until he could no longer feel the symbiote squirming to contain itself within his body.
While he wasn't aware of the meaning of the entire process, he figured that the cut he had created on his body was meant to be a container for the symbiote to reside within. The process was finally completed!
Erian breathed out a sigh of relief, feelibhis body back with nuclear energy, his injuries started to close like a seal and in no time, his flesh has joined back together with not a single scar on his body. No, there was actually a patterned scar on his chest. It refuses to heal no matter how much he stimulate his genes, making Erian frown slightly in the process.
Looking at his system, the pseudo learnt status near the Blood Symbiote Bio-Reactor had vanished, making Erian smile.
"Into the third phase of my plan-" Erian felt canine throb in pain as his body temperature drop dramatically and a deep intense hunger overwhelmed him as though he hadn't fed for months!
"What is happening!?"
