Chereads / Monster Monarch Evolution / Chapter 24 - Back home

Chapter 24 - Back home

Laying there on the floor, he stares motionless up at that sky, taking in each movement of his bones and muscles as they try to recover themselves. He knew he didn't have healing but since it didn't happen in the real world his injuries would automatically go back to how they were when he came back. 

Though that was only a hunch, I shouldn't have been so reckless, what if they didn't make us get out but sent us straight to the dungeon boss? I would have died. 

Then my siblings would have been alone and I would have left these people helpless. But then again the monster would have never been awakened.

His thoughts immediately drift to Kyree and his help. The coordination they established and how much fun it was to have someone by his side, which reminded him of the past when his pairs were his greatest asset in war. 

Were their coordination outmatched against the monsters.

But that is in the past now, I have to study about the future. And my future is something I'm not certain about, whether I might die or survive. 

Right next to him, Cinder appears, with a stern face and stance breathing heavily with a fierce look on his face."That was reckless. You could have died!" He says anger edging his tone. 

I know and I'm sorry. I just wanted to survive. 

"Ha! You wanted to survive? And you were breaking your bones left and right? Do you know how dangerous using your old movements on this weak body is?" He gets closer. "You're old body was fortified over years of relentless training. Your muscles over time built the capacity to stabilize your movements, while this boy was given to you just a few days ago!" 

I know, I know. You sound like my old mentor!

He gets up covering his ears, as he moves back over to the spot where he hid the pouch of snowdrop flowers, but Cinder continues with his lecture. 

Yeah, I won't do it again. 

"You're lying!" Cinder roars. 

Your right. 

Legion shrugs it off and Cinder becomes more infuriated. 

[Do you want to be shown your new avatar?] 

The system pops up out of nowhere as they make their way back to the potion store. 

Yes, of course.

The avatar spins slowly beside him, a dark reflection of his own form. His eyes are fully white, devoid of life, contrasting sharply with his black hair, which fades into silver at the tips like mist creeping into darkness.

Jagged ribs jut outward from his chest, wrapping around him in an unnatural, skeletal embrace, while raw wounds reveal glimpses of his inner mouth, each wound dark and oozing as if barely healed.

My first monster avatar is an undead, which is blind and has the ability to control souls. That's new.
