Words of Promise

It's been a week now after that incident, we were lucky to have escaped with our lives, well not all of us, we were even more lucky for the envoy to have located us when we were running aimlessly in the forest

It was surprising though, there is no way that fireworks hasn't attracted many attention, it's only our good that he was the first to arrived at our spot, thereby taking us away quickly without asking any questions

Trying to rise from the bed I have been lying on in the medic for the last few days due to my body left in a vegetable state from the too much forces I exerted on it, more say Kaloanexertes on it breaking many of my medicine I huff in pain

If not for nature mana within my body helping to stabilize the and heal the breakage I would have died like every other person who had their medarine destroyed, still the healing process is slow and my cultivation had drop down by two level

It such an heavy price to pay but atleast am alive and have a chance to cultivate to get me strength back, I just need my medarine to heal quickly for that to be possible, I really hate been some weak fellow everyone would be looking after

"you have to take it easy young man, if you keep trying to move your body you might make things get worse, it's already a miracle you are alive and your medarine are healing this fast, I don't know if I should call you a beast or a monster" a young lady's voice pulled my attention back to my surrounding

"people lucky enough not to die from such injury are crippled and the most extremely lucky ones have to take years and many treasure to heal a few of those medarine but you... you I don't know" her eyes scanning my entire body with amazement

"senior is he going to be ok?" a familiar voice enquire from the lady before me

"he will live, how long it take for him to get better is completely out of my scope of view, I can't qualify him as normal neither can I tell the end result of his healing if he could be same as he was at his peak before" she spoke knowingly

Though my healing is fast and shocking to everyone, the question is if I could be restored to how I use to be before the incident, reason be my body might not be able to handle high level mana again having been fracture once

I could see the faces of everyone in the room, even Silver expressionless face show sign of emotion, they were all feeling pity for me while at the other end someone is making things more difficult for me

"you sure are a weakling, after a week your body still haven't heal, you should have died in that incident"

•_•

"it's your head that's a weakling, your family is a weakling, in fact you are the weakling" I burst out in anger roaring curses on the fellow who want to make my life a living hell

Lifa didn't say anything, silent reign for a moment till I broke the silence once more when I have calmed down "where is Kaloan?"

"how would you know, you didn't even notice for the past few days"

"noticed what, I have been unconscious for most of the days, I only woke recently what would I have noticed?" I asked confused till it click on me

Since I woke up till now I haven't heard from kaloan which is unusual for one who always dropped by to check on me also making me push for higher height

"at least, you aren't completely stupid" Lifa mocking voice came as a reply

"just say it already" becoming more agitated with the suspense and curiosity about to kill me want to know what happened

"kaloan has been imprisoned by the alpha for breaking the rule, helping you out at that danger moment, not only that, he is on a death trial, should you fail to breakthrough in all path you have chosen before the end of next month he would be... "

She didn't need to complete the statement for me to get the gist, now I also understand why she has been pissed of this past few days, who would want to watch his friend sentence before him

"is there another way to save him, with this injury of mine am not counting on the chances" my desire burning with rage, I have lost one close friend, I won't want to lose another

"why does it even bother you, we are nothing to you, all you humans wants is how to satisfied your greed for power, I know you would give an excuse" I could hear the locked up tears in her voice even if she is doing her best to hid it in

"yes I am a human, am greed for power, I want to be the strongest but my reason and motive behind my greed is not what you think" I pause taking a deep thought to what my true reasons are, I have been a nobody all my life and meant nothing but now I want to be something if not for myself for the people around me

"the reason for my greed for power is to be able to protect the ones I love and care about, those that have no one to fight for them or speak up for them from the hands of those that are greed for power to dominate the weak" I declare with a resolute voice

Lifa became speechless for a moment "you know this would put you as the number one enemy of everyone else right?"

"what is the use of been a friend to everyone and truly an enemy to all, best I be an enemy to everyone and be a friend to all, I would rather die a purposeful villain than a vicious hero"

Unbeknownst to me my words were deep in grinned in Lifa heart that her doubt for me start residing, just like kaloan she start putting hope on me "promise me you would never deray from this path you have choosen"

I promised her not because she asked but because that was what I wanted, that's who I wanted to become and I have made up my mind long before she asked

Immediately I made the promise I felt a fresh raging current flowing into me, it was so much I fear for the worst but on the contrary it was destroying my body instead it was healing me up at a fast unimaginable pace

Withing minute all my medarine are healed up, the left over didn't dispere instead moved to my core strengthening more changing it constituent, evolving my core to something else while also strengthenning my body

Outside in the medic hall the others where still discussing about my health when an energy outburst surge out of me destroying the bed I lay, a terrifying air surrounds me, my eyes having a green glow for a moment before residing after which comes the next step

My body start breaking down in front of everybody, my skin falling apart, bones breaking and remerging, all that echo from my mouth is screams of pain scarring every sh*t of their skin, I couldn't bare the pain that I past out

Been past out my body continue with what ever was happening to it, been covered in nature element mana forming a cocoon over me leaving the others agaspfrom shock and fear, the only though running through their mind at the moment is who the hell am I.
