Walker Of The Blue Sky

72  Ch 72: A Profound Change

"Flying Blade Skill!"

Fully engaged in his stance, when enough spatial energy gathered on the blade, Emrys slashed at the coming beast. The blade transformed into a brilliant silver blade of light, mercilessly cleaving towards the beast.

"Crack!"

The sword struck like a flash of lightning, swift and direct, cutting the Scaled Beast's body in two halves in the blink of an eye.

The beast's eyes widened in shock and agony. It wanted to roar but failed to do so as its both parts collapsed to the ground.

Emrys stepped back, breathing heavily. He felt weak and lacked the strength to continue holding the blade. The blade fell to the ground from his hand.

His body trembled from the exertion and the adrenaline rush. He watched as the life drained from the beast's eyes, its once formidable form now lying motionless at his feet. Blood continued to pool around the beast.

Emrys could feel the toll the battle had taken on him. He collapsed to the ground as well, closing his eyes. Maybe, it was due to overuse of his body's limit and forceful use of spatial-attributed energy, he lost consciousness and fainted just like that.

While he was still unconscious, he did not notice the transformation that took place within him.

The corpse of the scaled beast shattered into countless fragments of light and poured inside his body. A powerful rush of foreign energy surged, however, at that moment, that foreign energy was more familiar than the space-attributed energy that was attracted by the Void Phoenix within his body.

As the energy surged, his body started glowing automatically.

Within his body, the energy surged and began attacking the invisible barrier that had formed after his body had been strengthened thirteen times. This time, the amount of energy needed to break the barrier seemed more than sufficient.

"BOOM!"

A loud booming sound echoed inside his body as the invisible barrier shattered. Emrys's body began undergoing a completely different transformation.

As Emrys lay unconscious, the foreign energy continued to surge through his body. They seemed to be more like seeking a place to reside.

This time, his body wasn't just being strengthened. Instead, the energy started gathering and constricting. It wasn't simply a matter of compressing the energy; it was simultaneously compressing and spreading throughout his body.

The energy moved quickly, gathering in his abdomen. It compressed itself further and further, condensing into a concentrated point of pure energy. A high pressure built up inside his body, becoming almost unbearable, even in his unconscious state. Emrys's entire being seemed to pulse with the energy's intensity as it continued to compress and refine itself. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Finally, the energy reached a critical point, and with a final surge, it formed a small, solid bead within his abdomen. The bead was about the size of an Orchid Seed, perfectly round and smooth. It radiated a soft, otherworldly light that seemed to pulse gently.

The most attractive thing about this bead was the intricate patterns that began to appear on its surface. These patterns were delicate and complex, resembling something like ancient runes and symbols. Even if Emrys was conscious and saw the whole process, he would not have understood what was happening. As for these patterns, Emrys lacked the knowledge to understand them. Understanding this bead was simply an impossible thing for Emrys to do.

The intricate patterns spiraled and intertwined on the surface of the bead, creating a mesmerizing design that seemed to shift and change when viewed from different angles. The patterns glowed faintly, emitting a soft, soothing light that illuminated Emrys's abdomen from within.

This bead was not ordinary, it was more like a container for foreign energy. After the bead was formed and intricate patterns covered its surface, the remaining foreign energy started to enter the bead. This bead was a dwelling, a sanctuary where the energy could reside. It seemed to have a life of its own, pulsing and shimmering with a quiet power.

When all the remaining energy went inside the bead, a strange rhythm was produced by the bead. It was as if the bead wanted to make its appearance known to the owner of this body, Emrys Frazier, who still lay unconscious.

As the bead settled into place, the energy inside it began to stabilize. Moments later, the energy spread out from the bead in gentle waves, coursing through Emrys's body and infusing him with renewed vitality. The wounds on his body started to heal at a visible speed.

The energy wasn't chaotic or violent; it was harmonious and balanced, working in perfect concert with Emrys's own life force. His body, which had been strained to its limits, now felt a sense of relief and rejuvenation.

The bead's presence brought a profound change to Emrys.

As Emrys remained unconscious, his body continued to glow softly. It pulsed in time with his heartbeat. The intricate patterns on its surface shimmer with a quiet, otherworldly light. Even in his unconscious state, Emrys felt a deep sense of calm and strength. The pain and exhaustion that had plagued him were gone, replaced by a serene clarity.

It was unknown how much time passed in reality. By now, the bead had completely settled down within his body. It was no longer glowing. Even the intricate patterns on its surface had completely calmed down, not releasing otherworldly light.

As time passed, Emrys slowly opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he weirdly felt a sense of relief that came from the bottom of his heart.

If someone can look inside his eyes now, they can see two star patterns at the depth of his pupils instead of one. Emrys appeared to have entered a new level of something unknown, something that not only brought a profound change to his body but also granted him an unknown source of strength.

"Hmmm?"

Emrys felt something. He hurriedly looked at his body, only to be shocked by the fact that he was now completely recovered. There was not a single injury on his body.

Hurrying to stand up, Emrys took a closer look at his body again. His clothes were tattered but his body had no injury, not a single scratch.

"What happened? I should be heavily injured!"

Emrys frowned. Many questions appeared in his mind. He still did not notice that something had appeared inside his body that was never supposed to be there.
