Juan has long since woken up inside the red cocoon he was in. However, he can't yet go out nor move.
'Although I'm thankful to still be alive and back to health. I don't know what this transformation will lead me to. I don't want to become a monster too.'
When he worked up, although he's eyes were closed and he can't move a muscles right now. For some reason, Juan could somehow 'see' outside with his mind.
'Indeed, I gain something magical that makes me have some kind of invisible eyes. It should be a happy thing, yet I couldn't come myself to celebrate that.'
'The reason is because of what I did saw outside. This magical thing that could let me clearly see what's beyond this cocoon outside made me almost passed out again.'
'It caused me my life just to kill one shadow monster and now there's countless of them outside waiting for me to comes out. What's next?'
'It goes without saying, it was because of seeing them that those two hunters lose all hope and passed out from pressure in their hearts. Poor them, no, it should be poor us!'
'Sigh, I just came back to life, undergoing transformation, and now outside there was a battle examination needed to be passed. This is the life of many protagonists.'
'Am I one? Can I not? Please? I, Juan just want to live a low-key life. I don't want to fight against the world nor defy any fate. If I can choose my destiny, then I just want to be lucky.'
'Still, this is s chance huh. A chance to encounter and acquire magical properties in this fantasy world. If I could...just an idea of mine.'
'If I could really do it. Survive in this catastrophe... could I really search for immortality in this place? Is magic really real?'
'Ha ha ha ha, why am I still hesitating! There are already proof snd evidence in front of me! Monster's who can do the impossible has already shown me!'
'Hahahaha, I Juan has really grown too old to the point my mind can still confused me! Reality? Throw that away, this fantasy is my new reality.'
'A new world means new mentality. I can't just bring my previous life cowardness even today right? However, I can't be a show off either. All I need....is to adapt.'
Bang!
Suddenly, when Juan realized something in his heart.
There was a feeling of sublimation in his whole mind making him feel as though a binding that has been weighing on him all this time silently broke off and falls down.
'Ah~ this feeling, it's like I'm flying and free. My thinking process is much more smoother and faster than I could before.'
'It feels like a fog barring my sight has been cleared off in my eyes, allowing me to see more than I already has. What a magical feeling.'
Outside, while Juan was happily engrossed in his transformation that tragets his body and mind.
The purple flames that burns on the houses he set aflame back then seems to have received a call from the cocoon itself.
An invisible ripple came out and spread around far and wide.
In the next moment, the purple fire that has been burning around seems to have found a way back to it's home and slowly left the foundation that fueled them ablaze.
The purple fire turn into ribbons like figure and snakes their way to the sky into the direction of the cocoon, diving down like a fish returning to the water.
In the next instant, the ribbons of flame gathered and revolves around the red cocoon. In just a few seconds, they had already broke the whole house apart.
Leaving only the red cocoon surrounded by the swirling purplish red flame around.
With the movements of the fire, wind also followed along and picked up the speed of revolution.
At the same time, the glow around the cocoon also grow brighter like stars found in the night sky.
In the next moment, the remaining fire around the village left and concentrated into the red cocoon, forming a vortex that devours all blazed into it.
This scene made the surroundings shadows to take a few blink back. The darkness behind them seems to have grown much more dark shader in response.
Along with the devouring of purplish red flames.
The cocoon didn't grow brighter, yet the invisible ripples like electric arcs could be seen coming out of it from time to time.
When those invisible electric arcs accumulate till they covered the whole cocoon.
The whole purplish red flames were also wholly depleted and fully absorbed by the glowing red cocoon.
In the next moment, the six stretched ref webs outside recedded back to the cocoon.
When everything were all done, what followed wasn't an explosive entrance or any showy explosion.
Instead, it was a silent darkening of the red cocoons shell. Once the shell were fully tainted with shade black.
It immediately turn into vicious like black water and seems to be getting sucked back inside what it contains.
As the dark water seeped in, Juan's smokey shade black figure appeared standing before an spacious flat ground.
The wreaked burning house he was in back then had already been pulled clean by the fierce wind due to the movements of flames.
At this time, Juan slowly opened his eyes as he regained back the senses and control of his body.
"It's good to be alive. There's no more happy thing in this world than live a peaceful life. How I regret doing this reckless thing."
"If my luck hasn't been good and made this miracle possible. I would have died with the shadow monster long ago."
"Ah~. Thinking of that suicide plan I made and even executed back then. I really wanted to punch that self in the face, just what was I thinking!?"
"Could this be the results of when cornered, people and even animals would go crazy disregarding life in the face of death? Hmm...I feel like I was."
Shaking his head, Juan observed his surroundings once again.
'Hmm... I wonder if I can survive this one. I even want to cool down and observes the changes inside and outside of me. But well, I'll just do that after surviving this.'
In the next second, Juan moved and turn into a shadow streak appearing ten meters away.
On his original position just now, two spikes looking shadow appeared.
'If I wasn't prepared knowing how cunning you are. I would have already died by now. Magical things sure are amazing!'
'Since I can still 'see' everything around me without really looking using my eyes. Then I shall call this magical ability — mind sensing.'
Using the magical ability he had awakened in this transformation. Juam could feel the changes in his actions, and mentality.
'If in the past, I was just a dazed mortal with surreal mindset worth nothing in face of disaster, just waiting to die or survive by luck.'
'Right now, I could clearly feel something within me has change. I feel like I'm no longer a helpless cannon fodder actor that was easily forgotten in a story.'
'But a recognized name character that could feel the emotions and personality of the story. I feel much more deeply into this life.'
'Didn't expect to actually truly intergrate into this fantasy world because of awakening of my magical ability. Having one means being part of it.'
While Juan was swirling with thoughts in his mind.
His smokey shadow figure only left behind trails of shades as he keep on dodging the countless shadow monsters attack.
'Still, if I keep on just dodging this time. It won't be long before the area I can move be narrowed down.'
The shadow monster around him shows no signs of stopping in their increase of numbers and attacks.
Using his eyes vision, because his mind sensing has a distance limit. Juan could see those shadow monsters mostly only attacks in minority.
Most of them were gathering and encircling him slowly.
'Playing with me, as expected of a higher lifeform. Seeing beings below it with contempt, always looking at us like toys it can play anytime.'
'Even the lost of one of them doesn't seems to make them learn a lesson. It might be because with it's numbers, how could it care if one of them got destroyed?'
'Just like before, even though I burned those houses. It only sent one of them in anger. However, after sometime, it will once again reveal it's playfulness seeing my helplessness.'
Juan jumped upon the intact house roof and searched around.
'In any case, I need something useful that can kill them. The fire around me has already been devour with my transformation. Becoming my nourishment.'
'Now that there was no fire, where can I get one? I don't have much time left. If I don't find any other solution, I can only use bruteness and breakthrough straight.'
Just as Juan was busily dodging with the hails and chargings of shadow monsters.
Not far away, Bal woked up slightly feeling muffled in his heart and tasted some sweetness in his mouth.
'I... I'm still alive.'
