Chapter 90: Void Training [5]



****

Amon panted loudly, sitting upon the branch of a tree.

"Нааа... Наааа..... Нааа."

He had done it.

After a whole night of ruthlessly fighting and hiding like a feral beast, he had defeated the 150 Void Beasts.

His arms were covered in bandages that were stained crimson and his back was pitch black, a reminder of the burning sensation he had experienced.

His equipment was totally battered, littered with cuts and slashes.

Blood trailed down his face from the numerous cuts that now ruined his features.

Some of his hair was also burnt as a result of being captured in the void flames of some creatures.

But regardless of all the injuries, Amon sat completely motionless, his body not even wincing from the amount of pain.

All he showed were signs of exhaustion but except for that, there was no sign of hurt on his face.

It was because pain was something he had grown accustomed to now.

Rather, all he felt in his body was numbness.

He couldn't feel anything.

Just a numbing sensation at every spot where he was hurt.

Pain....

It was just an ephemeral feeling for him now.

His stoic expression broke with a curl of his lips when a series of notifications appeared in his vision.

[Your [Void] element has leveled up!]

He felt something change within his body.

As if it was being restructured and rebuilt into something new.

It started with a mere warm sensation inside his chest.

But gradually, it started to grow hotter.

His breathing grew laborious.

"Haaaa....Haaaa....Haaaa"

His vision went from clear to a blur.

He clenched his chest as he felt the mere warmth turn into a sensation of having molten lava being poured into you.

His whole body....

It was on fire...

Not just his body, but his soul as well....

His head started to throb with an unimaginable amount of pain.

His legs felt wobbly and jelly-like and he dropped from the branch where he was sitting.

The sound in his ears died down and his vision turned black.

He tried to keep his consciousness afloat but that proved to be a challenging task as he felt himself drowning into the bottomless abyss of pain.

He clenched his fists and tried to curl up his body but to his dismay, he couldn't feel anything anymore.

All he felt was a vicious melting feeling in his body.

This...

"Haaaa.....Haaaa....Haaaa!" Amon screamed and wailed, pain surmounting any amount he had ever seen or experienced before.

His head felt like it was about to explode.

But....

He bore through.

If it was only pain....

He could handle it.

More and more familiar.

And this time....

Familial.

Was there someone related to him?

There was. He could remember them a little.

Their face appeared in his vision. In the black expanse.

It was a blur. A large blur.

But he could deduce it a little.

The relative. They were a female.

No...

Not relative.

More familial.

A family.

Mother?

The blur cleared a little, revealing some of her features.

The female...

Her features resembled a lot like him. They were also beautiful.

'YOU CAN DO IT AM*N' The voice resounded once more.

The glitched part was now becoming more clearer.

He could more or less make out the part.

But who was the voice calling out to?

Him?

Was that his name?

Ah, yes.

He remembered now. The pieces...

They all started joining together in his brain.

The person...

And the voice....

They were the same.

And the one they were calling out to was him. They were making him remember who he was.

The blur cleared more at that moment, almost revealing all her features.

Yes. She wasn't his mother.

She was...

His sister...

His beloved sister.

The blur completely disappeared, revealing all her face-the face of his sister.

Katherine Ashford. That was the name of his sister.

And he was...

Her brother. Her younger brother.

His body started to form back in the void in the form of motes of light that joined together.

Yes. And his name was...

Amon Ashford.

'WAKE UP AMON!'

And at that precise moment, the expanse of nothingness around him started to crumble into

pieces.
