Chapter 346: Subconsciouness (1/2)

”Are you sure to go through this now?” She asked once again while looking at Kai, who was lying on a mattress for an operation. Next to him was a blood bag and one bag filled with yellow liquid.

This was the operation room where Ria transfused the zodiac blood into Ayaka's body.

”This is a perfect time. After two weeks, I have mastered the new magic and taken another week to calm myself down for this operation. I feel I am at my peak, so this will be the perfect time to face my weakness and control it.” Kai nodded with a serious expression.

”Still…”

”Teacher, I know you are worried about me, but there was another reason for this. With a little less than two months, I could use the first one or two weeks to control this new strength. I am sure that my strength will increase by leaps and bounds since you are the one doing it. As soon as I have perfect control, I will challenge you. We can use the spare time for me to learn the strategies and tactics under you.” He assured her with a gentle smile.

”…” She let out a long sigh before grabbing the blood bag. Hanging the blood bag, she explained everything first. ”The medicine will be stimulating the blood inside your body. I have speculated that you will become a lion itself.”

”A lion? Like the failed zodiacs?”

”No. It's only in your subconscious level. In other words, you will feel the shock for a period of time that might reduce you to a coma. To gain strength, you need to know the source first. That's why you will need to understand the lion inside you. Of course, the technology I have here will teleport your consciousness to your subconsciousness where you can meet the lion.

”But do pay attention to one thing. I don't have the ability to help you when you enter your subconsciousness. Unless you wake up by yourself, I will just damage your brain if I force you out to the point you will face brain dead.

”That's why you need to handle everything without my help, and I can't give you any information about what you can do or not. There is no guideline to that as well. Anyway, I can only say good luck to you.”

”Thanks. Don't worry. You said the success rate is high, right?” Kai smiled. ”I am not worried, so you should support me as well.”

”Alright.” She sighed and finally took the medicine bag, hanging it so the fluid could flow into his body. ”Are you ready? You will need to endure pain when the medicine stimulates the blood.”

”Yes.” Kai nodded with a serious expression.

She then let the medicine flow down the small hose before entering his body. When it came into contact with his blood, specifically his lion blood, the medicine caused a certain reaction as if someone came to his body and made a mess out of it.

The blood became agitated as if trying to fight the medicine. However, only due to this process could the blood wake up completely and start their circulation all over his body.

”Argh!” Kai screamed out of pain. He never expected that the stimulation from the blood felt like nails impaling every single spot on his body.

Grabbing the railing on the side of the bed, he crushed them with his grips alone. Ria understood the pain well and shouted. ”Don't give up. It will only be for a few minutes! You have endured the pain when becoming a Zodiac. You can do it again!”

”Argh!” Kai continued screaming for several minutes before a ”ding” sound rang on his brain instead of his ears. It jolted his entire body, especially his brain. His consciousness became blank before it was shrouded by darkness, and Kai finally went into a coma.

Ria Ross grabbed his hand and placed it on her cheek. ”If in the past I could send you with a smile like a psychopath, I can't do it now. The emptiness in my heart has been filled by you this whole time. You gave me the meaning to live on, so you should succeed as well.”

Tears gradually formed on the corner of her eyes before they flowed down uncontrollably. She clenched Kai's hand even harder and said, ”Please. No matter how high the success rate is, I still don't want you to take that risk.”

There was one thing that she never told Kai. It was written on the document she had this whole time.

There was a sentence saying, ”Up to 90% of success, 5% of losing the consciousness and 5% of integration with the animal.”

What she didn't want was Kai turning into a magical beast. Losing consciousness was just like a coma. There was still a chance for him to wake up in the future. However, when he integrated with the animal and turned a part of his body into an animal, she would need to kill him.
