Alen look with pleading eyes toward the person on the platform, not want to endure the hellish torture anymore.
As if the person on the platform have noticed his pleading eyes, the mighty pressure lessen by half of its original amounts and the temperature around also seems to be normal again.
Alen remains still on his position knelling on the ground , but his condition turned to be better than it was a moments before , his breathing also return to normal, Alen sighed in relief as this situation confirmed his most important doubt, of all this time.
Sigh, it seems this human doesn't really want to kill me and was just having doubts about my identity, but it doesn't mean he won't kill try to kill me after I told him about myself as a mutant" Thought Alen to himself, As there was no mirror or reflection in soul realms he wasn't able to see his true appearance of his current body as a soul projection , but he was sure that after, He died his soul also seemed to change it's appearance a bit, if not, the person before him would have already killed him after seeing his soul projection as a mutant, but what kind of changes has occurs to his soul projection he doesn't have any idea about that.
Who are you boy, and how are you here" the thunderous sound reverberated again in the whole chamber but this time, Alen doesn't dare to ignore the question and didn't remain quite he have just gotten better after the hellish torture and doesn't want to through it anytime soon.
Inside his mind, Alen screamed with all his might in extreme anger cursing the old man on front , fking old man who are you calling a boy I am only ten or so years younger than you , you bastard.
I Am Alen, Alen Zerrick " Alen said but couldn't help frowning in annoyance as he was being called as a boy but he didn't say much to complain and can only knell before the mighty power of the man in front of him in his current sitiation, he introduced himself with trembling voice, for now he didn't dare disclose his identity as an mutant.
Alen then, tell me, how are you here, in this place, said the old man in much more firm and relaxed manner than before.
But the Next answer left him speechless for some moment.
I don't know senior said Alen with confidence .
The person "...".
The middle aged man frowned after being speechless for sometimes " what do you mean boy, don't joke around, Even a living person who stand on the pinnacle of everything will have a hard time in finding this place, not to mention entering it, but you are not even a living being but a mere twerp soul projection and you still able to enter this place, without even knowing it, do you take this place as a joke" said the middle aged man on the platform with anger and threat deafening voice.
Suddenly the previous, mighty pressure descended On Alen once again with even more killing intent than before, in an instant Alen choked himself, and started coughing madly , the air around him seems to disappear into void, by the virtue of it he started gasping franctically.
His cough stooped after some moments, rather he became petrified and started shivering like a leaf, he look toward the middle aged man on the platform but nothing happened, the middle man ignored him nonchalantly, as a result his suffering continues
.
He tried to talk again and again to beg for his life but every time he tried to do anything the pressure on him seemed to increase even more than before, he soon understood the intention of the man, and withstand his punishment, gritting his teeth as hard as he can.
After some intermediate amount of time, the middle aged retracted his aura cancelling the pressure and the previous binding all together on Alen, but that thing didn't brought any delight to him , instead he became even more worried about his safety now.
Is this the last moment of freedom my friend used to talk about before being slaughter " Alen thought to himself, At this moment he would rather be happy in being bound by the mysterious force again instead of getting freedom.
Now speak boy, and don't dare to joke again because that moments will be your last one" said the middle aged in threating voice again shattering all his thoughts of excuses.
Alen cried but there was no tears " but senior I wasn't really lying to you " thought Alen to himself, he bite his lips In frustration and started narrating his whole journey since he arrived at the soul part, of course with editing.
He didn't tell him about the sudden appearance of wormhole because that might disclose his identity as an mutant, not about the legendary cheat he hold to see through one's lifetime except for these thing he told him everything.
The story took him an full hour or something before conclusion, as there was nothing to mention in the story except for boredom and endless path, infinite room.
After listening to Alen's story the middle aged man didn't say anything for a while instead he closed his eyes and go back into meditative state.
After some moment the middle aged open his eyes again " so you are saying that you could pass through anything as you touch them" asked the old man omitting the other parts of the alen story.
Alen nodded hurriedly, in confidence.
The middle aged man frown seeing the confident look on his Alen's face, and for sure he didn't believe any of the thing's Alen has said until now.
But he also can't ignore his death serious confident look.
" Ok boy, Although I don't believe in any of your crap all this while, I will still give you a chance to prove yourself, said The person on the platform nonchalantly closing his eyes he chant some word after a something strange started to happen, the surronding around him begin to change, an enormous amount of energy flowed out of his body toward Alen, but it mysteriousally disappear just after leaving the range of the platform, All of a sudden, A massive spherical barrier embedded with various profound runes and incantation started to from around the whole platform, until it covers the whole platform like a cage.
Alen on the other hand, was flabbergasted and bewildered to what he witnessed, the soul projection before him send an enormous wave of energy toward him, Alen was sure that it will only took an itty-biity amount of that power to him disappear from the face of the world.
He was shocked by that realisation but he was even more shocked seeing the soul projection before him using powers.
How, if a not mistake that energy waves surely belongs to An cultivator who have achieved the Ancient path, but it not what important here rather HOW THE HELL WAS HE ABLE TO CHANNEL ENERGY TO ATTACK IN HIS SOUL FORM" Alen shouted in mind with shock and disbelief.
He was also an soul projection just as the one before him, but still can't use his powers it was as if he didn't even posses them in the first place, Filled with doubts and curiosity he looked toward the old man and the massive powerful energy waves approaching him with lightening speed , he stood there terrified as well as concerned about his well being , Although the old man have already stated to not harm him he can't still help but shiver with fear as he show the energy waves coming at him.
But the next instant his expression changed from terrifying to shocked and dumbfounded, with his mouth wide open he tried to recall at the scene in disbelief.
Just moments ago when the energy were about to leave the proximity of the platform they suddenly stood by some mysterious barrier turning to nothingness.
Alen still couldn't believe what had just happened , he again looked at the old man to see an massive spherical ball forming around the whole platform, he rubbed his eyes twice to clear his vision, but the massive spherical ball soon became complete, embedded with various runic character and profound incantation, he starch like a monkey as nothing before him seems to make any sense.
Just a moment ago there wasn't anything peculiar in or between him and the middle aged man except for the massive energy waves attack toward him but now a huge spherical barrier, of extreme potent power hidden inside appeared around the whole platform like it was already been there for ages not visible by the naked eyes. Alen thought to himself, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't understand any of the thing going on around him.
He looked toward the middle aged man with impatient and curious eyes, " Now only that person can explain me about this strange event " Alen thought to himself as he gaze at the old man who haven't opened his eyes till yet.
Now then boy, the times has came to prove if you are lying or not said the old in high pitched voice, he pauses for sometime before continuing his speech.
Came here boy and try to destroy the barrier in you front, if you succeed in doing so , I will believe in your story from before said the middle aged man nonchalantly looking at the young boy before him.
To which Alen only speak some meres word as he at the man before him in disbelief.
Senior you must be joking right.
