The Divine Hunter Chapter 32: Trial 2
It was like a nightmare, no, more terrifying than a nightmare, because Roy was awake and keenly aware of all pain every second.
The virus was raging in his body, wreaking havoc on his immune system. His lymph nodes swelled, and huge heat spread throughout his body. He developed a high fever, and his dry, white lips soon became blistered, but he could not coma. Or fall asleep.
It was like a poisonous snake emerging from the lava, burrowing into his body, twisting and twisting from head to toe and from bottom to top.
He was lying on the operating table, rolling around, his body twisting like an earthworm, and his facial features curled up ferociously, but he gritted his teeth and did not groan or complain, only a gasping "hissing" Hissing" sound.
The level of pain is no less than taking the premedicine for the first time.
But it's still within his tolerance.
Coral, who was watching, twisted her fingers unconsciously, with a look of worry on her pretty face.
In her nearly one hundred years as a wizard, she has seen many scenes that were countless times crueler than what she saw before, either actively or by force - the vivisection of the Daughter of the Black Sun, the grafting of monster limbs, and the taboo necromancy experiments. .
She had not been moved by an experiment for a long time, and now there was a wave of emotion in her heart.
The sorceress is calculating and knowledgeable, but at least Rita Nieder keeps her word - she promises not to let anything happen to her.
Looking at the young man in front of her writhing in pain, a vague idea took root in her mind - to cast a spell to slow down his pain.
"Calm down, Rita Nieder...extra magic will cause unpredictable mutations." Then in one breath, the emotional thoughts were extinguished by the sorceress.
"All steps must be strictly followed!"
Her face quickly returned to calmness, her fingers flexibly outlined a compound formation in mid-air, her red lips muttered something, and various colors were projected from the young man's body onto the open blank page, rows of detailed information. His body data is constantly being transcribed on it by invisible hands.
With a sullen face, she turned her gaze to this precious experimental information and did not move away.
……
"If I let it go, I will go crazy even if I don't die, right?"
Roy, who had been struggling in the quagmire of pain, suddenly realized why many apprentices had mental problems despite successfully surviving the Green Grass Trial.
He understood why Nannick asked him to resolve his anger.
Because of pain.
During the trial, the pain was like maggots on the tarsal bones, tormenting his nerves and tearing apart their will all the time.
Especially for those with higher perception, the pain will be more "vivid".
Cat-sect demon hunters also have excellent perception, so this situation will happen - the body survives the trial, but the will is crushed, and the mind is polluted by negative emotions.
In the end, the spirit and will became distorted and incomplete.
"I have to do something!" His extraordinary will gave him room to think.
Although his body was twisting like a madman, his spirit maintained a trace of clarity, but it was getting worse, and his reason was gradually being swallowed up by rage.
"Meditation——" This is the only way he can think of to relieve it at present. When the spirit escapes into the void of the elements, the pain will no longer exist, and naturally there will be no mental problems.
So he tried to relax his body, following a method he had seen before.
Start from the head, imagine a gentle hand brushing through the hair, and gently massaging the scalp with the pads of your fingers, making it feel numb and relaxing.
Then eyes, close eyelids, roll eyeballs, then nose, mouth, inhale, exhale, relax...facial muscles, neck, shoulders, chest, abdomen, lumbar spine, thighs...
Roy split his body into parts and relaxed one by one.
If it doesn’t work once, try it twice, three times...ten times...
Pain interrupted this process countless times.
It seemed like a few minutes, then it seemed like a few days. He kept trying - his originally stiff body began to soften and relax... completely relax, and it was the turn of the spirit...
Take a deep breath slowly and imagine that you are in a canoe on the vast blue lake. Under the warm sunshine, the spring breeze blows from the green shore, blowing over the water and your cheeks, bringing the fragrance of moist soil and vegetation along the coast. .
A sudden change occurred before his eyes. He broke free from the heavy shackles of his body and entered the bizarre world of meditation again——
In a vast starry sky, colorful elements circled him like fish, touching him playfully with their mouths, conveying intimacy and dependence.
Roy indulged in it and forgot the physical and mental pain...
Time flies.
"Huh?"
Coral's pretty face showed a look of shock - one night later, the struggling young man fell into a strange state of stillness, sitting cross-legged on the operating table, as motionless as a stone sculpture.
His skin was red, the sweat had dried up, and his expression was calmer than ever before.
The sorceress observed for a moment that he had entered a meditative state.
Whether it is a wizard or a demon hunter, meditation is an extremely delicate task that must be carried out with complete relaxation.
How did he do such an almost impossible thing under the torture of the virus?
Coral began to look through the crystal image records - seeing a complete process. After more than five hours of struggle, Roy's body went from movement to stillness, mechanically and slowly relaxing.
"No wonder Leisuo thinks so highly of him."
This kid's will definitely exceeds that of most adults.
She didn't make any noise to disturb her. If she was forcibly awakened from a deep meditative state, she would be easily injured, and the boy was in good condition.
She began to mix the second liquid, which was taken from crab spiders, giant centipedes, and scream monsters. Compared with the furnace virus, it had a different flavor——
Cold!
Under the biting cold, Roy lay in front of the burning fireplace, curled up like a baby and shivering.
A week has passed since he survived the furnace virus. He has gained a certain degree of resistance, but it is still not enough to face the second virus that the coral calls "glacier".
The surrounding environment seemed to have transitioned from volcanic lava to ice and snow, and his skin turned blue~IndoMTL.com~The pores shrank and tightened, and it was as cold and hard as a popsicle when touched.
His internal organs barely retained enough heat to survive, but his skin, toes, finger tips, and facial features were all ravaged by the low temperature.
His pupils were out of focus and faintly glowing blue, and his auricles were so stiff that they seemed to fall off at the slightest touch.
To make matters worse, calm meditation is effective against scorching heat, but not against freezing temperatures.
The coldness that froze everything had caused him to fall into a state similar to hibernation, with his breathing slowing down and his heartbeat vaguely absent.
If he enters silent meditation at this time, perhaps his soul will fall into eternal sleep.
"Roy, wake up, don't sleep! I promise you...when you wake up, I will teach you magic! Immediately, immediately!"
"aenye......eigean...deithwen..." Coral shouted the spell loudly, her fingers dancing in the air dizzyingly.
A ray of light as hot as a flame emerged.
Then she let go slumpedly and gave up on magical interference.
The young man's eyelids moved, but like a dying old man, he just stretched out his hand and then dropped it feebly!
"Damn it!" Coral cursed in a low voice. She felt a mania strangle her heart, feeling faintly irritated, "Is the virus concentration too high? I must do something to prevent anything from happening to him!"
The blue eyes glanced at Roy's face, which was illuminated by the fire. The young man was lying on the ground and was about to freeze. He vaguely heard a rustling sound, and then he felt into a fiery embrace.
He was warm and selfless, sharing the bone-chilling cold and easing his bad state.
Out of instinct, he sank in completely, unconsciously greedily hugging it hard...crushing it into pieces and rubbing it into his body.
