Chapter 125: The Fish Bites Back (Part-3) (1/2)

[Beast Awakening: Mode 2]

The message hovers in front of my eyes for a couple of seconds before disappearing.

F-Fuck! Beast awakening!? Now!?

What is happening—

cough cough

“Ahhgh…”

I let out another groan, feeling sicker than ever. Even though Beast Awakening has activated, I cannot feel explosive lust that comes with it. In fact, there’s no lust at all— not even my dick is getting erect.

What’s more, opposite to the great energy surge I experience in this condition— I can actually feel my limbs losing strength and my body becoming limp.

“What the… fuck is…?”

I try to speak up as well, but couldn’t do it properly. I just don’t have the strength left to move my jaw. On top of it, even my vision has turned completely red— blood-red, to be exact. It’s like seeing the world from behind a thin film or something.

Wait a second, I am not… I am not dying, right?

I should have two more days left. Pink told me that I had a month.

But… But what if it was just an estimate?

No! Fuck! Pink, come out! I need to speak to you! This is important!

…

There’s no response. No pink light appears.

God damnit!

I totally forgot that Pink doesn’t come out when Beast Awakening is activated. Now, what am I going to do?

“Something happened to him?” Alex asks, confused.

His voice sounds weirdly distorted. It’s like my ears are failing to work correctly.

“Dunno, man. He’s probably fainted.”

The goon standing behind answers.

“What!? For real!? This weak-ass motherfucker actually fainted!? Hahaha! This reminds me of the day when I scared him with my fireballs,” Alex says, laughing heartily. The goons laugh with him.

“Well, wake this pussy up. We cannot start unless he’s awake,” He orders.

Giving him a nod, the goon bends down and grab my arm— probably to turn me over— but he removes his hand instantly, flinches back in surprise.

“His skin is burning, man!”

“Oh, really? Will you catch fire if you touch him?” Alex asks, raising his eyebrows.

“N-No?”

“Then just do what I am fucking telling you to do!”

Alex shouts, glaring at him with his crazy eyes. Shuddering, the goon grabs me again, without flinching this time, and flips my body.

“Hey! His eyes are open! He’s not fainted!” He exclaims.

“Not fainted, you say? Tch… Then why did he fell down? He’s not even speaking,” Alex asks, clicking his tongue.

“I think he’s sick. A bit too sick, actually,” the goon tells him, placing his hand over my chest and feeling my heartbeat.

“Damn… His heart is going crazy here. It’s so weird. My body is shaking just from touching him.”

“Oh, for fuck’s sake! Sick!? Now of all times!?”

Alex clenches his hands in frustration, looking angry enough to punch something. Honestly, it almost makes me feel good that this is happening right now. Almost.

“Never mind. At least he’s conscious, right? That will have to do. Just tie him up to a chair,” He orders.

Another goon gets up from the couch and helps the first one to lift up my limp body. They set me down on a chair directly in front of Alex and tie up my limbs using a rope to keep me from falling down. One of them even grabs my hair, using them to steer my face towards Alex.

The fire is really close to me now, but for some reason, I cannot feel the heat from it.
