Chapter 43: Blue Transition Body

"Where am I?"

Kritos's whole body was being sucked into a dark blue pit; he couldn't understand what was happening to him; his vein had started bloating, Kritos was feeling a strange pain there. One by one, he thought his veins were exploding.

Kritos tried hard to get himself up with whatever comes in his hand. But anything that comes in his hand would turn into sparkling particles.

Eventually, after many tries, Kritos felt he would die soon by an unknown enemy. However, suddenly a voice rang on his mind.

[Ding…]

[Hidden effect of Blue crescent moon physique awaken: Blue Transition Body]

[Transferring wild efilos venom to host heart…]

[Warnings: It takes 2 minutes to transfer and mix the whole venom into the host heart. Please endure the pain]

[Remaining time: 1:59 sec]

All of a sudden, Kritos woke up from his sleep; he saw many wild efilos snakes cuddling and biting his legs and hands. He tries to remove them from his body in pain.

"Fuck!!" Kritos cursed them and jumped into the ground through the branches.

After throwing away the snake, he lay down on the ground and observed his body color textures had turned into blue color. While veins are popping out from his body, Kritos gritted his teeth and endured the suffering of veins exploding constantly.

Slowly, slowly his whole body again changes into normal.

[Ding…]

[Remaining time: 00:00 sec]

[Stimulating Blue Crescent moon hidden ability…]

[Impure body detected… 90% loss in energy transfer]

[Ding…]

[Body has reached its limit…]

Kritos opened his closed eyelid, a relief of being alive appeared in his complexion, he checked his body, there was only some bite mark.

Kritos raised his body from the ground and exhaled a deep breath. He was pretty sure that today he would die due to his carelessness. But unexpected changes happened in his body.

In confusion, Kritos checked the earlier System alerts and status screen.

"Huh!"

He stares at the screen without blinking once, and his eyes get wider.

"Haha! At last, My heavenly luck gets the chance to show off my Almighty fate. Even the poison is my companion." Kritos laughed

Once again, Kritos looked at his status screen

"Now, I have more reasons to start my cultivation as soon as possible." Kritos thought while sensing the position of Sanju.

Without wasting more time, Kritos moves in the direction of Sanju's current position.

While running, Kritos activated the shadow form so that he didn't attract uninvited guests. It was hard to ignore roaming SP. But Kritos don't want to harm innocent monsters who never harm other beings.

Yes, Kritos was a cruel and greedy person; however, what he believes is wrong, he never repeats it again. 

At first, he has killed many peace-loving beings due to his greed, but his little heart can't be cruel enough to ignore their pain at their last breath. Like they are asking, "What they had done to accept this type of fate."

It may look childish or naive reasoning, but Kritos can feel their pain. 

"Moreover, this way, I could stop myself accumulating bad Karma." Kritos thought as he remembered his father's words at childhood.

"There's a natural law of karma that vindictive people, who go out of their way to hurt others, will end up broke and alone. Remember, A boomerang returns back to the person that throws it."

Kritos never believed in Karma as it was only a myth created by some ancient folks. Still, this may be the best reasoning to stop his greedy intent towards peace-loving monsters.

***

The dappled sun shone through the trees, creating mysterious shadows. Passing through them was a long hair youth.

Kritos has frequently sensed Sanju's direction from time to time, but one hour ago. Suddenly, Sanju's scent was removed from the atmosphere as he disappeared from a particular location.

Nervously, Kritos approached the last location of the Sanju, where his scent faded away.

"I have to be careful; probably there would be some dangers."
