Chapter 38 - Explosion and metamorphosis.

(I'm getting bored...)

I thought to myself as I was fighting against the alchemist, while I was enjoying seeing him so powerless and beating him up I preferred to have a real fight.

(Huh... I guess I'm quite strong after all...)

But even after realizing this I couldn't calm down, I've been feeling uneasy all this time, like something will happen and I can't avoid it.

I should end this guy now.

Alrig-

□Danger sense proficiency +5%□

Hoh?

□You can now feel your death approaching□

Oh wow! This guy is blowing himself up!

I could prevent it, but the explosion certainly won't kill me... And if it causes Enough damage to me I'll get even stronger.

HeHeHe... I hate the smug look on this guy's face though, so let's get rid of it.

[HeHe, Thank you for this... I'll get even stronger now] I whispered on the alchemist's ear as I smiled happily.

[It's all because of people like you.. My strength, that is]

He opened his eyes widely, and he tried to stop himself from exploding, but I used all the mana inside of me to make him explode even further.

(oh, right i should probably put a barrier around us)

And as all of that happened in a second, we exploded.

******

A sound.

And then White.

Nothing but white, At least for one split second.

And then darkness.

Maybe that was my eyes burning?

But it didn't matter.

Because after that came the pain.

So so much pain.

I hadn't felt that much pain in my whole life.

I didn't even know someone could even feel that much pain.

But I felt happy.... Happy to get stronger.

I would do it again if I could become even stronger.

And then I felt nothing but happiness.

I didn't see, hear or feel anything other than happiness.

I was becoming stronger.

But... That was probably just my nerves being burned.

And then... I started feeling again.

First, It was my hearing... I heard a ringing sound that slowly faded away until I started hearing with even more clarity than before the explosion.

I then saw... A new world, Everything had more details and when I looked at the ground I was able to see the red cells inside of my own blood.

I felt like I was born again as something different from a human... something superior.

□???????? ???? proficiency +5%□

I looked at my body that was stripped of everything besides my bones and organs, and then as my muscles regenerated I stood up clumsily.

I saw my hands growing back with haste... It was a grotesque sight but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

And so, before I knew it my body stopped regenerating and I saw my naked body.

My skin, no, my whole body had changed... Even though I was able to see the cells inside of the blood I had spilled I couldn't see anything in my skin, not even my pores. And I had become extremely pale.

I was standing still without moving, because otherwise I might destroy the ground I'm standing in.

I felt alive... But more importantly, I felt strong.

Until it happened.

□Danger sense proficiency +10%□

(I'm weak.)

□TRAIT will evolve after its proficiency reaches 100%□

(So... Weak... But... I can still get stronger)

The earth rumbled.

And the winds roared...

The whole planet was affected... Just by the action of that thing.

Whatever triggered danger sense was clearly still stronger than me.

My legs shaked... But I had a smile in my face.

If I learn to control my strength... Fighting it wouldn't be impossible.

I saw the sword I used completely intact in the ground and picked it up.

I better find something to cover me up.

******

As I saw the explosion I was blinded by it, Turns out that looking directly at an explosion isn't a great idea.

Flash blindness, was it? I read about it before I was trown here.

(I hope it goes away soon...)

After a few minutes I was able to open my eyes, and I saw Cadamni in front of me wearing a palm leaf as pants.

[Oh, So you finally opened your eyes! Sure took a while, though it's good you didn't open them](C)

[Umm... Why are you naked?](L)

[Ah! well you see, the explosion totally disintegrated everything around it, I had to put a barrier so that you wouldn't die. hell, even I wasn't unscathed! Though, this sword is totally fine... What is it made out of?](C)

[Huh... I guess that makes sense? But you seem to not even have a scratch... Also, you seem taller? and I think your eyes are even more purple than before](L)

[HeHe, You see, I have regeneration! And, I don't know about my height but my eyes have always been black?](C)

I was confused after hearing him say that, his eyes have been purple since the day we met, but he looked completely sure about that.

[?... They are purple though!](L)

He tilted his eyes and looked surprised.

[Are they, really?](C)
