Chapter 47: Quaking Sky
Good practice, Miles! Cale walked to Miles when the latter left the Gravity Lounge.
Miles stayed there more than an hour after Lucy left, and this time, worked out with the gravity increasing steadily. His tender muscles adapt to ever-increasing gravity under stress. Although Lucy showed the guidelines in human genes as bad, they were also core to human adaptation.
It was not bad. Miles smiled and dried his sweat with a towel.
I am guessing you took a second serum? Cale snickered knowingly.
How can you tell? Miles got startled.
He wasnt any stronger. The hard half-day work out barely adjusted his new muscles. He was still weaker than before.
The way you moved was unsteady. I recognized it when a buddy of mine used the second serum for the first time. He couldnt control his strength. You were just like him, so I figured it out. Cale patted Miles's shoulder and said, You should take your time and get used to your new muscles. Dont ride for a fall. Dont even consider entering the Portal World, before you are in full control of your body.
Got it. Miles said as something warm formed in his chest. Thanks, Cale. Truly!
Dont sweat it. Cale laughed and threw his arm around Miles's shoulder.
NOW! He shouted and everyone inside the room looked at them. Tell us what happened inside the lounge. Second Lut was mad when she came out.
Miles sighed helplessly and narrated what had happened. Albeit censored. He wouldnt admit he won by imagining their lieutenant naked and in strange postures. But he gave the soldiers in heat something to dream about and told them how she was heaving when she lost.
I know, but you also heard what Prince Fool said. The monster artifact found on Vampire were eye lenses. It is normal for it to have equipment related to eyes as well. Miles reasoned.
It has been more than two decades since Portal World has been opened to Earth. Many people walked on Portal World and killed lots of monsters. Even though humanoid monsters are super rare, especially in F and E circles, thousands of them have been killed to date.
I have to admit though, it is my first time hearing a humanoid monster in G-Circle. Miles thought and looked at them curiously. He twirled the orb, and the sky within shivered. It was a minute reaction but didnt escape from Miles's attention, looking at it carefully.
Oh? Miles was surprised because this was the only reaction he got from the orb since he acquired it.
What happened? Coin asked, looking at the orb.
When I twirled the orb now, the sky inside shivered. Miles said.
Do it again then. Coin suggested, and Miles did.
From where he was lying, he twirled the orb faster and faster. At first, the sky was only shivering, but now it was quaking. Miles was holding it above his head to see the inside of the orb better.
Use more force. Coin said from the side. Miles used all of his muscle power, but it wasnt enough. The sky was still quaking, but nothing else happened.
Miless arms got tired after some time, and he was about to give up. Yet, he gathered his strength to both of his arms. A warm feeling climbed up to his arms from his heart. He felt that his tiredness vanished with the warmness.
When a warm feeling arrived in his hands, he twirled it faster than ever, but all of a sudden, he felt his hands empty.
