BXBX NOVEL Chapter 28: Unexpected Turn
He had been dealing with this event for almost 5 minutes. His heart was squeezing and breathing was becoming difficult, he could feel his bones cracking and breaking, and he was writhing on the floor.
It would not be wrong to say that the whole floor was in blood and he was writhing on the puddle of blood. Indeed, everything was getting more difficult with each passing second.
At that very moment, a window appeared in front of him:
[Calm down, try to sit cross-legged and sit properly.]
James, who tried to sit up somehow when he read the window that had suddenly formed in front of him, managed to do so despite his broken bones.
As soon as he got into the cross-legged position, he realised that the pain in his body had decreased slightly, but he still had no idea what to do.
[Breathe in and out deeply. The two forces in your body are at war with each other. Magic and Aura cannot exist in the same body, we have to try to expel one of them].
As soon as James read the window, he followed the instruction and breathed deeply, even if it was difficult.
He was bleeding internally and every time he breathed in, he was in greater pain, but when he breathed out, the pain in his body disappeared, even for a few seconds.
[Sighs... Keep going like this. Your body will decide what it needs to be, pick whichever one you\'re more in tune with, and discard your value like rubbish. I can\'t understand why you\'re trying to have magic status when you have aura in your body, it\'s a stupid choice.]
James managed to relax a little after the succession of windows formed in front of him. His body felt light, but he was still trying to cope with the same pain and writhing.
It was such a strange feeling, as if the power coursing through his body, through his veins, and the power around his heart were colliding.
Yet James could clearly realise that something was not trying to be expelled. It was as if these two forces were strengthening each other as if they were trying to reach an agreement.
Whatever it was, it kept on happening, and with each passing second the pain continued to increase exponentially.
Half of the room was covered in blood, it was strange for James even to think that there was so much blood in his body, but thanks to his automatic regeneration ability, he had managed to survive so far, otherwise it would be a matter of time before he bled to death.
After a sequence of almost 15 minutes, James realised that the pain in his body had completely disappeared.
There was only great pain and aching inside his body. Almost all his bones were broken, it was a miracle that he was even sitting in the position he was in now.
It must have been a miracle indeed that he had suddenly collapsed, the auto-healing would help him, of course, but it seemed a certainty that such a slow healing would not be able to heal him so quickly.
Before he fainted, however, he saw a window in front of him, albeit a blurry one, and he smiled at what he saw as if all the pain he had suffered had been rewarded, and his eyes closed and he fainted on the spot.
Olympus, on the other hand, was in great confusion again, Chaos\' decision seemed to confuse them.
"I don\'t understand mum, why did Grandpa make such a decision? James doesn\'t know anything, you even spent a lot of energy trying to help him, but what happened? Why did Grandfather grant the status of magic to someone with an aura?"
It was Thanatos himself who spoke. The child of Nyx and he alone is the god of death.
"I don\'t want to lie, my dear Thanatos, I have no idea. For some reason, my father, who has not been in the tower or its contents for a very long time, has been paying close attention to this small, weak, newly important boy. Yet he sends him something that could kill him, perhaps James should never have had the aura."
When Nyx looked at Thanatos and voiced these answers, every one of the surrounding gods fell silent. The fact that Chaos had deliberately given this book to James would of course silence them. After all, how many people were there who were not afraid of Chaos?
On the other hand, Apollo had been silent since the beginning and had been watching James carefully. He seemed to be trying to analyse what had happened.
Apollo, the God of Knowledge, watched James in depth.
"My lady, please look at him carefully." Apollo suddenly said, speaking towards Nyx.
After he had said this, every god and goddess in the hall turned back to the window near the ceiling and began to look at James carefully, and each of them managed to be surprised again.
"I ---Impossible!" exclaimed Nemesis suddenly, one of the biggest aura users.
"Impossible indeed, how did it happen?" muttered Hypnos, never expecting to witness this.
"I...I don\'t...understand?" replied Nyx, in all the chaos, it was clear that even she hadn\'t expected this.
James had finally managed to wake up, even though he knew little of what had happened. After 5 hours in his dreams, he finally woke up and looked at the window in front of him again.
"Haha...I didn\'t see it wrong...I really did it."
What was written on the window seemed to have made him extremely happy, the excitement in his body had reached the ceiling, and he was surprised even to himself that he did not cry from happiness.
At that very moment, the person who had helped him came to his mind and then he did not even care about the window and uttered the following words:
"I don\'t know who you are, but you saved my life today, I swear I will pay for it, I\'m sure you are stronger than me, but there will be a day when I will surpass you, I swear you won\'t have to lift a finger the day you need my help."
Those words were like his oath. James\' oath to his lady Nyx, is basic yet incredibly strong.
Who would have thought that could happen?
