Chapter 23: My Cheat
Just as Dhruv said those words, the creation stone exploded into many tiny purple fragments... and started floating in front of him. They floated there for some time, after a while, it was as if some force was acting on them, and they started getting attracted together, forming a purple ball the size of a fist.
The ball hovered for a while, then headed towards Dhruv's head.
First, he wanted to resist the invading ball but decided against it. And let the ball enter his head peacefully.
For some time, nothing happened, and Dhruv thought he had done something wrong. But as the clock approached the fifth second mark, his head started burning like crazy..
"Ahhhhhhh!" He kneeled on the ground as a sharp pain seared through his head.
At first, the pain was only in the head, but after a moment, it started sliding down his throat reaching his chest..
'O..hhh!...no...nooo...'
He already had a feeling what was about to happen and he was right...As his chest also started burning like crazy, increasing his agony twofold.
But things didn't stop there as it moved once again, moving from his chest, reaching both arms, then traveling through his stomach, and finally stopping after reaching his feet.
"Ahhh! F..fuck! It finally stops," he muttered..
But he had spoken too soon, as the energy started traveling back the same way it had come..
"Ohh! FUUUUCK." He passed out due to all the pain he was going through.
*****
After a while, he got up from his nap and found himself drenched in sweat and blood..
"Blood?!... where it came from..?"
He got scared after seeing the blood and checked all over himself but didn't manage to find any injuries. After seeing a bloody trail near his body, he calms down, as it was the blood of the dead body.
He got up and opened his status window in hope of finding his new ability... After taking a look, he found the notification he had missed due to his nap. Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
The notification was from the cosmos.. Congratulating him for the new ability he had learned.
After announcing the words, a strange energy began to gather in front of his hand.
He knew this was the moment where he had to command the energy, what does it have to fuse.
He sent a mental signal to the energy that it has to fuse all the corpses. After sending the signal comes the moment if he wants to add his soul or not into the energy.
He didn't know how or why.. but now he knows the process of splitting a part of his soul and how to add it to the energy... So he started doing that.
But knowing how to do it doesn't mean he has full mastery over it.. he was still a newbie after all.
he started flowing his soul into the energy... but something suddenly changed as his soul started getting sucked into the energy... as his soul started to get sucked a crazy amount of pain started washing over him.
But at this point he was already getting familiar with pain so he didn't panic and started controlling his soul... after a minute or two he finally managed to get control over his soul and stopped himself from getting sucked dry.
But it was already late at this point, as almost thrice the amount of soul got sucked then he had intended.
The color of the energy started changing from purple to white as it began to get bigger and bigger.
After reaching the size of a party balloon, it stopped getting bigger, signaling Dhruv that it was time to cast the spell..
Dhruv looked at the energy, thinking how beautiful it looked... He cast the spell.
The ball of energy traveled towards its intended target, enveloping it.
The radius of the energy began expanding from all sides, covering all the corpses within it.
'Now.. What.?' he thought.
It had been five minutes, and nothing had changed. The white dome was still present, covering all the dead bodies.. And now Dhruv started panicking, but he couldn't do anything except wait.
*****
When an hour had passed, the dome slowly started to subside, and a sound was heard in Dhruv's ear...
The sound of a heartbeat...
