Chapter 72 - 72. Heartless (1/2)

Mack pondered a bit over the realization of that.

”In my case it must be because my body evolved. If my heart beat ony 12 times a minute, than this means i could easily live for like 200 years?”

[Its hard to tell, because you became a hybrid specie, but my estimations show that you will for sure outlive any Earthling to this date]

”I see...”

Mack stopped pondering about his long life ahead. There was no need to think so much ahead when he was not sure if he was able to live for another year. The trials tested everything he had.

Mack also noticed the tests focused a lot in emotions, like the last one about his regrets..

”Thinking of emotions.....”

Mack remembered how he outburst when in rage in the last gate and the effects of that and an idea came to mind.

”Emotions usually change the beat of the heart.... maybe....”

Mack touched his two palms and activated his domain runespell.

And just likr magic thr anow stoped falling and atood there floating in the air.

Mack closed his eyes and could feel all the essence that permeated eveything around him.

In this case, only snow.

Still with closed eyes he raised his hands as if he was an orchestra conductor, and the snow all around him listened to his command.

All around Mack, snow raised and in a mile diameter they stacked and formed a dome covering Mack in a few dozens meters.

Mack opened his eyes, and saw his new iglu, but seeing 'the ground' his complexion changed and he kicked the ground with the back of his foot as if stomping some ant. One second later the flat surface of a mirror like floor could be seen.

Mack walked a few steps and as he expected it was not slippy. Essence can change everything.

”Now this freezing wind will not bother me in the task ahead.”

Said Mack, removing all his clothes and exposing his fully naked body covered in very thin tattos that looked like scars but not at the same way. Because those thin lines had a very feeble red glow on them.

His arms were full of tattos and some lines extended to his legs and torso.

The head was devoid of any tattos because Mack didn't trust himself too much when carving runes in his body.

Mack changed almost every circuits he had on his body over the three years. And now, all of them had a core at his chest. That was were he moved the compression runes.

Mack took a a dagger from his clothes and started drawing another rune over his chest.

Mack had a very boring problem when using runespells, he needed to activate them manually.

But a few seconds ago, he had an amazing idea.

Why not sync his runespells to his heart beat?

The more intense a fight get, or anxious or frustrated or enraged, the more his heart will beat.

Mack moved the dagger over his body leaving a trail of blood and connected the rune that counted his heartbeats with the core runespell at the center of his chest that connected to all other runespells.

'Now, how do i activate them? or should I activate only that one?'
