Chapter 6 - First friend

" The thing is for some reason iam not able to maintain my astral form. It might be because I have been detached from my body for too long. If iam correct iam in this state for almost a month now. The place we are in is a bit special you see. After the "war of gods" ended and the 3 alien races were pushed back towards the edge of the world, the other remaining 6 races isolated this place. During the war this place was filled with death aura and too much dead bodies and bones were scattered around everywhere. So to prevent the future generations from getting affected by all the miasma the top mages along with the Angels isolated this place. It's not easy to get into this realm as this seperates the trio alien races from the world. And the time flow is also different within this realm. 1 day here is equivalent to 10 days in the original world. So I have been in this world for almost 3 days seperated from my body. And the death miasma sealed within this realm as affected my astral form as well. I don't think I can survive for long."

Listening to what Zhavrik said, Max couldn't help but Marvel thinking about the possibilities this world holds. How strong should the people be to isolate such a big chunk of land

Looking at Zhavrik, Max felt sad. He understood their is no future for the real owner of this body. Atleast he doesn't have any means to help him. He himself was in a tight Situation and knowing nothing about magic or any other mystical things about this world made him feel like an alien.

"So is there nothing we can do about your situation?"Max questioned

"Well we cannot do anything as even I don't have any knowledge about the situation we are in." Zhavrik replied

"Then what about your father?, what did you mean when you said that your father won't be able to find anything?". Max thinking about his earlier conversation asked.

"Yeah the reason why I explained you all of this is because of my power. After awakening dragon Slayer's bloodline, I awakened an ability which I named " all seeing eyes". Just like the name suggests, I gained an ability to look into mana flow inside people and I can see through the emotions. For now it's still low level. I cannot peer into the emotions of people stronger than me. But I can see the low level animals emotions. It's quite fun actually to understand what the animals are thinking. As for Mana path, I was not able to control it. I was only able to see through the Mana path of one of my knights. I was training to control the power, but it's a bit tricky to handle so I gave up on thought for a while, and focused on my sword skills".

Max was taken back." You can see mana flow? And emotions too? Damn isn't it OP skill.?"

" Well like I said I was not able to control it. But now that iam in astral form I can clearly see through you. It's like all particles with different colours. Now that I look at you, I know why my father was so happy after I awakened the bloodline".

" I can not see any problem with the body. From my eyes It looks like your soul originally belonged to this body. If even I, with my bloodline awakened eyes couldn't find any difference, I don't think my father or grandfather can find any difference. As for my memories and world knowledge, don't worry I will impart everything to you."

Looking at the smiling Zhavrik, Max felt his heart sting. How can such good kid go through all the trouble.

" Don't worry whoever created this situation and made you suffer like this, I will hunt them all. I won't let your suffering go in vain"

Listening to my words, Zhavrik eyes became moist and nodded his head. Zhavrik moved close to the Max and went inside the body.

"Can you hear me Max?, I will start merging all our memories and powers. It might feel a bit uncomfortable, bear with it for a while."

Hearing Zhavrik's voice inside his mind, Max felt a bit weird, but soon readied himself for whatever was about to come.

As Zhavrik started to do his thing, Max felt sting of pain assult his brain. He couldn't help but scream out loud and started rolling on the ground.

After couple of minutes which felt like an eternity to Max, he inherited Zhavrik's legacy.

Max still on ground opened his eyes and looked at the empty sky. Now he can feel a some weird ripple around him. The land around him was no more white. Now it was a mixture of dark and wavey substance.

"Is this mana or whatever you guys call? This dark wavey stuff must be death miasma you were talking about right?" Max looking around him asked Zhavrik

" Yeah, this is death miasma and not mana. Mana is not present within this domain as all the Mana has been converted into death miasma." Zhavrik answered

" You alright? Was the pain too much.?"

Hearing Zhavrik's worried tone inside his head, Max replied " iam feeling better now. But damn that felt like hell. Is memory transfer so painful?"

" No, I don't think it's the memory transfer that caused you the pain. I think it's mana within our brain merging with your soul, I also think it's because that I am inside your body during the process." Zhavrik replied honestly

" So what now?" After a brief moment of silence Max questioned Zhavrik something which was bothering him for a long time.

"Now that you have inherited my abilities, I think you might be able to get out of this domain now. Give your body some more time to adjust to the soul and after couple of hours you might be able to gain full control of the body and with your " all seeing eyes" you might find the exit from this domain".

Listening to Zhavrik's reply, hope reignited inside Max.

" What about you?"asked Max

"Me, I think my time is almost up, I don't even have enough energy to float anymore. I hope that you can make good use of the chance that you've been given and please look after my family. Also please make that dragon girl suffer a bit for me. I know it might have been my fault that she'll kill me, but still seeing how bad and horrifyingly she killed me, I can't help but develop a bit of grudge. Atleast steal all the wealth she and her parents have accumulated. That should do it yeah perfect steal all the wealth. For dragon their wealth is their pride. Take every single items they have collected."

Hearing to Zhavrik words, Finding his antics funny and his situation sad, Max did not know whether he should feel sad or laugh.

Assuring Zhavrik and talking about some other stuff related to world, Max spent couple more minutes digesting everything.

As he was explaining something, at some point of time he stopped hearing Zhavrik's voice. " So this the end for you ha. Don't worry Zhavrik, I will fullfill al the wish that you had. I will live this life for myself and for you. I won't let anyone kill this body of yours. Atleast till I reach the peak of humanity, I will even punish that little dragon for you. Rest in peace my first friend in this world."
