332 Inferno 3
Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
The rhythmical pulsating sound of my heart beating resounded in my ears as my vision was enveloped in darkness.
Apart from the sound of my heart, I could feel, smell, and see nothing.
But this sensation did not last for long, though. An uncomfortable energy dug into my muscles. I could feel it forcefully making its way through my body, tearing into me.
I could feel the sinister and dark energy trying to change the structure of my body as it entered me. It wasn't pleasant.
Many times, my body tried to reject it, but as though it was bound by something, the energy continued to claw its way in, and before I knew it, the sinister energy had completely settled, making itself a new home inside me.
And it wasn't long before the energy reached all the way to my brain, and when it did, my head started to hurt like crazy.
Several different flashbacks went through my head as the pain inside increased with each passing second. It felt as if the demonic energy was banging the sides of my head, trying to break through the skull to make its way outside. It was excruciating.
"Haaa!!"
Before I knew it, my eyes shot wide open and I stood up.
"Haa...haa..."
"You're awake?"
Breathing heavily, it was only upon hearing Angelica's voice that I remembered what had happened.
"Shit..."
Leaning back and sitting down on the ground, I tried to catch my breath.
Lifting my head up, I looked at Angelica and mustered the strength to ask a question.
"...How long was I out for?"
"Half an hour."
Standing up, Angelica softly replied.
"Only?"
It honestly felt like a whole day passed.
"Do you feel any different?"
"...A little bit."
Clenching my fists, I realized that something was indeed a bit different.
I was a lot stronger than before.
"I've broken through to rank."
It was then that it finally dawned on me.
I had broken through to the next level.
Propping my body up with the aid of the table next to me, I raised my hand and channeled some wind psyons.
Shuu!
The moment I channeled the wind psyons, a green hue enveloped my hand. However, contrary to the usual pale green color that would arise whenever I channeled my mana, black threads of demonic energy circled the chartreuse-like hue.
Staring at the black threads of demonic energy, my eyebrows furrowed.
"It worked..."
I was now officially a contracted individual.
Angelica, who was watching by the side, reminded, "Use as little mana as possible."
