Parasitic Core (part 1)

Crash.

After what seemed like an eternity and just a fraction of a second at the same time, I was finally freed from the void that swallowed me when I ordered the teleportation.

This experience alone showed me the real difference between the spirit realm cultivators and saint ones. What was common amongst the higher tier, was simply deadly for my current rank.

I honestly have no idea how did I survive the jump through the shattered space, with my body already nearing the state of complete necrosis of all my tissues. I could only guess that it had to do with either the entropy that poisoned me or the fact that it was already hard to put me closer to the death than I was before teleporting.

And that had nothing to do with my physical resilience.

Eve.

Looking around, I tried to spot where did she end up after the teleportation, only to realise that I was somehow still holding her close.
