Chapter 265 Second Blood Purification (1/2)

The time passed. My herbs grew, the pond was filled with clear water, and my skills advanced. My strength no longer increased. This meant, I was at my limit already. 'Now, I have to purify my blood, and try to break through the wall of the Inner Limit' I thought. When I was getting ready, I called out to Frosty ”Frosty, can you help me out?”. I waited for a while, but Frosty didn't appear.

I tried couple more times, and even explained, why I needed its help. Frosty on the other hand, refused to go out. 'Weird. I would understand, if Frosty refused to go out in Obsidian Mountains, but here?' I thought. This baffled me, but nothing I said, or did changed the final result. Frosty didn't want to appear. I decided to just do it by myself. I would have to take a smaller quantity, because Frosty's help was not available.

With my current strength, I would be able to take 35 milliliters of Zenith Blood Yarn Extract. This was the max I could take, without the help from Frosty. It was still a lot, and it would purify my blood greatly. Before I took it, I prepared first. I ate until I was full. I also rested properly, and made sure my body was in top condition.

When the time was right, I swallowed the Extract. It was very thick, but I managed to swallow the small quantity, no problem. I then sat down, and waited for the effects to kick in. I didn't have to wait long, before the blood in my body started boiling. The pain of the initial stage, was magnitude worse compared to the past. I gritted my teeth, and tried to bear it.

Seconds slowly turned into minutes, as I endured the pain. I was sweating buckets already. My right hand, fought against the heat of my blood. This produced a large cloud of mist, which surrounded me. I was barely holding on at this stage, then a new wave of pain arrived. This time, it wasn't my blood alone, it came from my bones too.

”ARRRRGGGHHHH!”. I screamed loudly, but the pain was becoming intensified, the longer I endured. I was losing my consciousness, so I decided to go all in, and used my Aura. I hoped, that my Aura would somehow make me go through the process. I condensed it as much as I could, but to no avail. The pain didn't decrease, and the darkness started filling my eyes. 'Heh… Is that it? Is that all I have?' I thought, and my vision turned completely black.

I could faintly hear something, in the darkness. Something from my past, something I said myself. I also heard someone, someone who I knew in the past. From the voices, it seemed like a conversation.

”Why are you here?”.

”Because I have a break?”.

”No. I mean, what did you do, to be enslaved?”.

”Nothing”.

”Sorry, I shouldn't ask”.

”I did nothing”.

”What do you mean? Then are you a slave, because you were sold?”.

”No”.
