56 Pain and Gain (1/2)
”Don are you sure you want to do this?”
Don was standing near the energy converter as Knight, Arrora, Arwen, Amaryll and the dwarves Dhursir and Stodemar looked at Don from quite a distance behind a transparent barrier created by Catalie.
Behind the device Arya and Benedict which seemed like adjusting some nuts and bolts. Don could see the Prism on the center of the device started to shine as one side of the prism was connected to a stack of magic stones.
”Are you ready?”
Benedict walked towards Don with a metal plate in his hands which was also connected to the prism in the center.
”What if something goes wrong?”
Amaryll asked while looking at Benedict placing the metal plate on Don's chest
”Nothing would go wrong it's just using more pure battle energy to cultivate”
Even though Knight reassured Amaryll, he himself was worried about Don. Knight knew the ten times more pure and powerful means it would take a toll on his body ten times more than their usual cultivation, it's the first time Knight seeing someone attempting to use this kind of powerful energy.
However, if he successfully managed to cultivate using this device and energy his cultivation would soar through. Standing beside Knight Arrora could see Knight is worried about Don but not showing on his face but Catalie on the other hand, popping her fingers and looking at the device and Don without batting an eye.
Finally after much preparation, Benedict and Arya put black glasses on their face to cover their eyes and started walking away from Don and the device towards the barrier set by Catalie.
On the other side of the barrier, only Reghys and Don stood there by the device
”Are you ready?”
Reghys asked as Don nodded and sat on the ground to start the cultivation.
”One...two...”
Reghys snapped her fingers, the tubes and wireworks connecting the prism with Don and Stack of magic stones started to glow brightly and Knight could see the hall became dimmer like the device sucking all the light in the hall.
Benedict glared at the scene while rubbing his hands together in excitement.
Don felt the metal plate on his chest heating up and the pure battle energy strands entering his body but suddenly smoke and fire sparks started to come out of the device. Everyone standing behind the barrier could feel the heat radiating from the device.
”Benedict, What's happening?”
Arrora was sure that a device not meant to do that when she saw the smoke and fire sparks but seeing Benedict shook his head a bad feeling emerged in her mind.
”Don do you want me to stop?”
Reghys had to raise her voice because of the buzzing sound produced by the device but Don shook his head slowly. Just by seeing how he shook his head Knight realized it was very hard for him to even move his head.
The pain flared more and every muscle in Don's body tensed up. Straining to keep his back straight Don waited for the pain to subside, as the pain got worse and worse. He could tell his entire body screaming in pain to stop what he was doing, stop and find relief from this hellish pain. For a moment Don thought about everything he might lose if he gives in to the pain and everything that would come of it.
Fighting through the pain was becoming increasingly difficult as he gritted his teeth and hoped it would minimize the pain he was feeling, but above all else it became increasingly annoying to have to deal with the blood running through his nose. However, Don felt like there wasn't much that could be done either way and guessed the best course of action was to simply deal with it and continue to circulate the battle energy through his body until the pain began to reduce.
By the time went by Don felt exhausted and unable to focus however
he was absolutely determined to not let this pain and exhaustion make this day an unfruitful one, so he pressed onward.
No one could watch the scene without worrying about his life, Knight had already shouted at Catalie for crying when she saw the blood coming out of his nose but now Knight himself wanted to stop the process.
”Knight he's going to die if he continues”
Amaryll could see the blood coming out of his nose increasing as now his ears started to bleed
”Knight let us go save our king don't ye see he be bleeding”
The dwarves would have tried to break the barrier if it wasn't for Knight stopping them but before Knight could do anything the device started to shake violently
”What's happening?”
