The four thin energy lines aproached Red, as they were an inch away from Red they stopped. The four thin energy lines started connecting each other and multiplying as they made contact with other lines. When the energy lines stopped , Red was already trapped by cocoon the energy lines made.
Red could feel mild pain the moment cocoon was formed. As the seconds became minutes the pain got stronger. It was evident something was happening to his body.
Rico who was seeing the process that Red was going looked at Starco who was still controlling the cube " Why are you killing small part of of Reds cell but just the moment they are about to die you let them resurrect"
Starco looked at Rico " I will keep killing small part of Reds cells and then will revive them with same energy that am killing with.I will repeat this process again and again but each time i will widining the killing area of cells
"By the end of the 7 days,Reds all cells will
be dead. This is 99% chance for human to die"
Looking at the young puzzled dragon Starco couldn't help but to smile " Some legacies needs condition to be met before it could awaken. With me and you here his 100% chance dropped to 30% of chance of dying.Some Legacies need conditions to be met before awaking "
Coming to realisation Rico said" That's only if your will is strong enough otherwise even us here he is sure die"
Hearing his thoughts Starco didn't say anything but nodded instead. Die to live. Your body will die but your will needs to live. This was harsh condition even for normal legacies.
Red was now gritting his hands and teeth from the pain. Red felt time was going slower than ever before. Every second was stretching for too long . Just 3 h felt like 3 years
As the energy cocoon started to to reverse to thin lines and back to energy balls which went to settle top of the each pillars.
Red who felt the pain wasn't big anymore relaxed his body and at that moment he fainted on the spot.
After opening his eyes again Red wasnt hurt anywhere anymore. He got up to check if he died . The heart beat was telling him, he was so far alive.
Seeing Red dazing around in the arena.Starco flew over " How are you feeling "
Looking at the familiar Starco flying over, Red felt Relief" I thought I died so my times over and over again. How am I not hurt anywhere?"
Starco head looked at Rico " The one who takes the credit is the guy who's sleeping over there. He mastered mana and healed you untill all his mana was gone . You were asleep for 15h"
"To be brutal honest this is gonna happen for the next 6 days. It will get more painful by the day.If you want to give up , now is the time " Starco gave serious look
Patting Rico who was sleeping."This guy used all his mana to save me." Red thought.
As he looked at Starco and gave firm answer" I don't want to give up nor do I have any intentions. I keep going no matter how thorny the path is."
Hearing this starco was satisfied.After Rico woke up Red headed towards restaurant for "free" food.
....
The seventh day
Rico who had double the mana healed Red for the last time. Even waiting for while his body was still not moving. Rico was getting impatient as this never happened.
Just as Rico looked at the ground sadly a golden light was coming from Reds body. The light was tiny at first before it engulfed the whole body and the light slowly fainted.
Red opened his eyes. He slowly got up . He could feel so much energy from his body . He threw punch and kick in the air .
" Congratulation for awakening your legacy. Youve met the condition of Die to live. You've finally gained Adept body. Your will body adept in fast, heal faster as you get stronger"
Hearing Starcos words Red was feeling good. The pain that was torture like finally paid off. He took Rico from the ground and throwed him in the air and grabbed when he was falling " Thank you for helping, you are the greatest dragon i know" Red said.
" What about me. I've done lot of the hard work too" Red laughed hearing Starco . After laughing he thanked starco too.
This was the last day they would be seeing this arena. As he opened the door ,Red took one last look of the place he was in for the last week.
As the Red and Rico were headed towards the restaurant the owner came out to take fresh air hid away after seeing the combo
...
For the last days these beast no no no.. these monsters have been eating theyr full in my restaurant. I want to change to rule but this has been passed down since the restaurant has been opened by my father. If i dont do something i might need to close the whole restaurant. How do I get rid of these two.
The restaurant owner didn't know what to do about Red and Rico and he couldn't kill customers who were obeying the rules.
The restaurant owner remember how Red was looking at the flying Kingdom and saying he wanted to go there. There was martial school in the inner city but they were too weak to enter in the sky Kingdom for the past 2,000 years. This year they had 3 geniuses never seen before and if the owner helped Red to join them and went to sky Kingdom to enlist in the tournament.
The owner felt he could see hope. He immediately acted and told Red about the martial school in the inner city. After seeing Red was intrested, the owner felt like applauding to himself.
...
Instead of rushing to check the news the owner has told. Red thought it was important to first eat then go look for the school.
Hearing Red was gonna eat in the restaurant . The owner comforted himself by saying It was the last one they would be eating here.
As they left the restaurant after satisfying theyr stomach. Starco led the Rico and Red towards the location the owner gave . It was lot more spacious than any other place. The student were striking in the air left and right.
The student were in unison when they were punching. When Red walked in some of the student kept looking towards him while they continued punching.
An Old man came from the inside. He was brushing his white beard as he walked towards Red " What business you might have?"
" I want to join this martial art school for me to go there" Red pointed his finger up towards the sky Kingdom
Instead of getting angry the old man looked at kept brushing his beard. He said in calm manner " What if I don't want to let you in?"
