Chapter 345 Challenging The Curse
Laying unconscious in a ten-foot-deep hole with the land around him destroyed, Ren's chest was open with a fist-sized hole in it, his hair disheveled. His robe was burned, and his wings were expanded to their fullest. Under the moon, he looked like he was sleeping soundly, with no expression on his face.
Slowly, the hole began to fill as he healed, but his eyes remained closed.
A string of black smoke appeared beside him, and from it, Blaze's head peeked out, currently in his Winged Pardus form.
'What was he trying?' he thought to himself when he saw Ren's state.
*THAD*
Blaze heard an explosion and immediately grabbed Ren's leg in his jaw, dragging him onto his back.
Ren didn't manage to get very far, just near the trees behind his dorm room. Blaze immediately made a single jump and latched onto the window to their room, causing the whole building to shake as he heard the dorm mates' voices.
Before anyone could spot him, he used his tail to throw Ren's unconscious body inside the room onto the floor and turned into a cat immediately.
*TUD*
With a soft landing, he walked around the dorm and saw what Ren had done.
'Motherfucker,' he thought to himself as he saw the twelve-foot wall that was now destroyed. The ground near it was chipped off deeply.
He knew that Ren was trying the theory but didn't know he'd use his biggest spell.
Blaze looked around the area and saw Stormborne and the teachers talking. He immediately returned to the room, still not over the nightmare where Stormborne would kill him.
[Ren Hilton POV.]
I don't want to wake up.
I just don't. Let me sleep like this for a while.
Everything around me is fucking weird.
Haha, this reminds me of the times when I'd sleep trying to avoid school.
I reluctantly tried to open my eyes and was met with a wooden floor. I moved and felt my muscles aching.
I took a deep breath and gazed at my room. It was already morning.
'Rise and shine, Princess.' Blaze was on the bed. Why was I on the floor then?
I noticed my robe was half-burned with a big hole. I flicked my fingers and burned it immediately to dust—I'll throw it away later. Th.ê most uptod/ate novels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
I got up and walked towards the mirror. Looking into it, I didn't see many changes, but why is there this buzzing feeling?
I looked at the system panel, and the words were there in big, red capital letters. It said:

--------------------------------------
Isn't this system mostly shit? That was the first thought I had, but then I remembered the system store and advancement buying option.
Still, it makes me doubt it.
What I focused on was the experience points. I need at least two thousand more to get to Pyroclasm Elder, the fourth stage of the phoenix physique.
Can you do it? I asked Blaze. We share the experience points since he's my contracted beast. Whatever he does, his experience points get to me.
'Aye aye, Captain. I'll do it tonight when you sleep,' he agreed.
It's easy, no stress...
[Five minutes later.]
Why do I even say something like that?
I stared at the curled-up crying girl on the floor in front of me.
"Raven..."
