Chapter 89: Void Training [4]



****

Amon walked to a nearby tree with a stumbling gait.

Near him, three dead bodies of starless gorillas lay, their eyes lifeless.

As he slumped against a tree, he panted fastly and loudly.

"Наа....Наа....На...."

His equipment had lots of cuts now with his shoulder would still dripping fresh blood and exposing his flesh.

His mouth twitched as he touched one of his wounds.

As he was about to do something further, 4 notifications arrived in front of him.

[The Void inside you grows larger...]

[The Void inside you grows larger...]

[The Void inside you grows larger...]

[The Void inside you grows larger...]

Taking one look at them, he then looked at his palms, which both had several deep cuts in them.

He had grabbed those blades with bare hands, letting them seep into his skill.

He winced in pain every now and then.

Ignoring them, Amon tore several pieces of clean cloth from his equipment and used them to dress the cuts on his palm and body.

For a while, he laid back against the tree for some rest but was unable to properly close his eyes in fear of beasts and the pain of his wound.

Fortunately, just 5 minutes into his rest, he heard a deep gushing sound from nearby.

Grabbing the tree for support, Amon stumblingly walked amidst the trees to where the sound was coming from.

He was hoping he would be correct.

On his way, he was lucky that he didn't see any monsters.

'They probably headed towards where the crane had crashed or are present near the mantis.'

As he finally crossed the remaining trees, his face pulled up into a smile as he saw a gushing river passing in the forest.

It was surprising.

Finding a river in a starless void expanse.

Nevertheless, he was grateful for this discovery.

Settling near the edge of the river, where he could hide among some trees, Amon started to clean his palms.

Afterward, he used the water to clear his shoulder wound of any debris or thing that might infect the wound.

It was obviously still going to get infected later on but he would like to prolong it as much as he could.

He tore off a large piece of his equipment and started dressing his shoulder wound as well.

nothing.

At that moment, he thought to just slash himself with his own sword and end himself.

It was alright. It was just a [Void Training]. He could fail it.

Not like he was going to die.

He could just do it again later.

But as he was about to close his eyes, all the reasons not to fail came into his mind.

He couldn't afford to lose here.

He needed to see the first arc through. He needed to get stronger to handle the problems if

they arose with Daniel.

He complained about being weak after all.

And now that he had the chance to grow stronger, he was chickening out.

And the final reason....

Amon needed to get that [Void] element.

And at that moment, all the clarity inside his brain returned and he gasped loudly.

"Haaa....haaa..Haa"

Sweat trickled down his forehead as he stumblingly stood up.

He suddenly realized something.

The pain....

It had become numb.

All the pain he could feel before...

It wasn't there anymore. His back, his shoulder...

Totally numb.

Before he could ponder further, he heard several growls erupting through the trees from the

forests behind him.

The beasts...

They were close. And they were coming in a horde.

He grabbed his odachi. Pain, had become numb to him now. Better to utilize it the best way he

could, he thought.

It was a large wave of monsters that was attracted by his screams and the flame.

'I hope this is the last wave of monsters...'

And all at once, they jumped out of the trees while he leaped back into the river.

'Come. Let me get the final point for the element.'
