Chapter 556 - Strong Will

"Aurgh…" Aiden groaned, feeling a numb pain coming from the back of his head. 

Raising his hand, he reached out to grab and rub the side of his forehead, hoping to soothe the uncomfortable sensation just a bit.

"What… was that?" He muttered, slowly pushing himself off the ground. He felt numb, still woozy, and even slightly confused about what had just happened.

"What happened?" He asked out again, muddled about the blackout.

As he forcefully increased his [Primal Absorb] skill to level 4, suddenly he felt a sharp pain from the back of his head and he lost consciousness. He vaguely saw the hazy outline of a figure appearing at the forefront of his mind just before the darkness enveloped his mind. 

"What did I see? What was that figure? Why did I…" He sighed, trying to calm his growing anxiety. Controlling his breathing, following the technique taught to him by Number 3, Aiden gradually began to disperse the fog clouding his mind.
