Chapter 911 The Procedure (2)

Chapter 911 The Procedure (2)

Soon, Zogar's body began to undergo a transformation; his muscles spasmed and bulged uncontrollably, his veins darkened, and his skin took on an unnaturally deep glow as it blistered and cracked. His blood mingled with the Vylkr Fusion Armlet as the pain finally reached its zenith.

"ARRGGGHHHH!!" Zogar's agonizing scream reverberated across the room, causing everything to vibrate.

Baddum!! A faint heartbeat echoed from the Vylkr Fusion Armlet. It then began to quicken, syncing with Zogar's heartbeat as the Vylkr energy stirred the Devourer's heart to life.

At that very moment, as the Vylkr Fusion Armlet fused with his essence, the Primordial energy actively suppressed the Vylkr energy, spreading through his body and flowing into the armlet. It dominated the Vylkr Fusion Armlet, aiding in the circulation of Vylkr energy as it merged with Zogar's being. This caused Zogar's arm to light up with a reddish glow as though his right arm was burning up in an unexpected turn of events.

Fortunately, Zogar then felt an immense warmth spread from his right arm to every part of his body. Gradually, he sensed a shift within him. The Vylkr Fusion Armlet gears slowed, and the glow of the runes dimmed.

"Haaaa.... Haaaa....!!" Zogar's screams subsided into ragged breaths.

Baaddumm!! Baaddumm!!

His Devourer's heart pulsated in unison with his heartbeat, resonating across the room before swiftly quieting.

The Vylkr Fusion Armlet had fused completely with his arm, seamlessly integrating into him. The runes continued to glow, but their light was softer, more controlled.

Witnessing this nerve-wracking scene and observing Stronghold Leader Zogar's body eased down, Seraphina asked with bated breath, "How are you feeling now, Stronghold Leader Zogar?"

Stronghold Leader Zogar turned his attention towards her, "Haaaa.... Though I feel more exhausted and broken down than I usually do after a battle, nonetheless, I feel much better than before," he responded, exhaling with ragged breaths.

"Alright, this is good. Although it wasn't what we had expected, as we were prepared for the worst, a result like this simply means that the procedure is a success," Seraphina responded, smiling brightly. She then began to slowly unbuckle the metal straps.

Even though they hadn't expected the procedure to go perfectly, as they had prepared for the worst, this only meant that they had successfully implanted the Vylkr Fusion Armlet on a Vylkr warrior without harsh consequences. Now, all they had to do was observe its healing process and hope there were no underlying severe consequences.

"If anything had gone wrong, they would have halted the procedure by now. The fact that they've been in there for so long suggests that it was successful," Stronghold Leader Seth remarked, his voice tinged with a hint of jealousy and envy.

The prospect of Stronghold Leader Zogar gaining strength beyond their own capabilities meant stepping into the realm of a five-star warrior, a level of strength no one in the Village had ever attained or could ever hope to attain.

"Yes, you are right," Queen Selene nodded, agreeing with his analysis.

At that moment, the door swung open abruptly, drawing everyone's attention in an instant. Orion's heartbeat immediately quickened.

Seraphina emerged from the room, her eyes scanning the gathered leaders before she spoke, "The procedure was a success, and the candidates are all in good condition," she announced, a bright smile lighting up her face.

A collective sigh of relief rippled through the room at Seraphina's words, tension dissipating like a wave receding from the shore.

Orion's tense posture relaxed as he breathed a sigh of relief, his shoulders easing as a sense of calm washed over him.

"Can we see them?" Orion asked.

"Yes, but just briefly. They need every moment of rest for healing before we proceed to the next phase and assess any changes," Seraphina explained, stepping aside to welcome them into the room.

They all acknowledged her words with nods and followed Orion inside. As they entered, their eyes fell upon Fifi and Stronghold Leader Zogar, seated on their beds, examining the gleaming metallic bracelet on their wrists with interest. Meanwhile, the Healers' Association leaders attended to them, conducting health checks.

Sensing their arrival, Fifi and Zogar turned their attention toward the group.

"How are you both feeling?" Orion asked, his tone filled with curiosity.

"I'm experiencing an intensified craving for Vylkr vines, and I sense bizarre constant changes in my body, almost as if I've gained an additional Vylkr container that seems impossible to fill," Fifi shared, extending her right hand for them to inspect her Vylkr Fusion Armlet up close.
