Abyss Zone [3] part 2
Shadeva's palms went pitch black and shadow energy was gathering around them.
She rubbed her palms together furiously and shadow energy gathered faster, as she quickly directs it to my leg.
~~
~~
Hours go by and my bone was technically remade and reattached from shadow energy.
The abyss Zone was known for it's freezing temperatures but still in that cold, sweat still rolled down Shadeva's face.
"I'm going to rest for
... a while now Jin"
"..."
I couldn't even reply.
Shadeva left the tent the others had made over us while she was healing, leaving me with my thoughts.
"I'm mediocre... I'm not... Special, I was lagging behind, I wasn't tired, I just wasn't fast enough to catch up... How?, I know Jin-hun was fast, not the fastest in his squad, that was Dea-seong, but he wasn't much slower... Even being at the shadow reawakening stage should have tripled my innate abilities, and Jin physical abilities...his abilities... I have no... I have no memory of Jin being physically gifted, nor did he ever exercise his body, he was just, intelligent.
Jin was physically weak, Jin-Hun was technically a trained soldier, his physical strengths should have carried me, but it didn't!.
.... Which means my human strengths means nothing in the shadow realm, now multiple that physical abilities times three, makes an average Joe.
Damn I need to get stronger..."
My thoughts were halted as Shadeva entered the tent, she looked like she needed more sleep.
She knelt down beside me and activated her trait the same way she did before and began healing.
~~
~~
~~
Jin-hun's counting indicated mine hours had gone by, and my leg was almost completely healed.
Shadeva healed me for eight hours straight and only took a break and hour ago.
"Shadeva is the best!!!"
I said in my mind with joy, I looked at my leg, it looked the same, only a scar left to tell, though I couldn't quite feel my leg right now, I will, in a few hours .
Nyxara walked in.
"hey there... scholar, Shadeva is fast asleep, she wanted to let you know you might not feel your feet at first but you will in a few hours, so no need to Panic."
"I wasn't going to Panic, I know how Dark palms works"
"Yeah scholars know all!"
Nyxara's tone were sarcastic.
I reciprocated a blank stare, which made her seemly uncomfortable as she storms off, saying.
"Dinner in ten minutes", and muttered under her breath.
"Ungrateful"
I stared at the roof after she left
"New goal, I need get stronger while on the run, to defend myself"
After ten minutes, I got up from the floor and dragged myself to eat, after all I was really famished.
Everyone was sat on the floor in a circle and were devouring their rations, a small amount of dry meat in a watery soup.
I was given mine, my clear disdain look at the soup was obvious.
"You going to have to eat it, even though it wasn't made by a master chef, after all you need your strength for the journey ahead"
Kaldareth said with a dry chuckle, and he was right, I do need my strength.
I slowly limped back to my tent to eat.
My injuries were on my tibia area which made walking an hustle.
After finishing my food.
"I should probably change my pants"
I said looking at the damage done to my pants, from my bag, I whipped out a new pair of pants and tried wearing it but I could only get one leg in.
Feeling frustrated, I pulled out my sleeping bag and laid on it, staring at the roof, regret crawled in.
"Maybe I shouldn't have came to the abyss zones..
."
"Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to Jin's stupid merging..."
"Maybe I shouldn't have followed Jin in the first place..."
"Maybe I should have stopped Anna from pleading for my pardon..."
"Enough Jin Hun!!!, emotions cloud judgement, and hurting yourself over the past, that cannot be changed, Is dumb.
"I overestimated myself, and underestimated the abyss zones, well not anymore.
"I will double my physical training and try to increase my shadow core stage, and possibly awaken my trait.
Due to my mind being full, I failed to hear the commotion outside, but eventually I did.
I forced myself up and dragged myself outside.
"What's going on?"
I asked Morvain who was standing outside my tent and looking at the dark sky, his eyes showed disbelief and horror, I looked up in curiosity and saw something that genuinely sent shivers down my spine.
A massive flow of shadow and karma energy, were flowing into the hole we managed to climb out from.
Kaldareth had access the situation and knew it was a bad sign, he quickly went to Shadeva's tent to wake her up while Nyxara and Obsidra followed his orders to pack up.
Morvain was supposed to alert me and help me pack, but I was alerted by their noise instead.
Instead of running to pack, I dragged myself to the hole to see what was going on.
The Hydra... more like a serpent now without it's extra heads, seemed like it was trying to heal itself, it's two heads were arranged by its right and left, and each end of the heads were glowing Ultra Violet, same with its main body.
I knew the others were staring at me, due to the absurdity of my action but I wasn't fazed, I knew the Hydra wasn't long enough to reach the top, after all the roof was 70 to 80 ft high and the Hydra seemed barely half the height.
If we weren't overcame by fear we would have killed the Hydra in the tunnel, using Obsidra's trait,
After all it's weak point was it's abdomen.
"Well... Now I can't let Obsidra have the kill, I will kill this fucker myself, but not today, so heal up Hydra, cause I will be hunting you soon"
I turned and dragged myself back to the others, who had already finished packing and were waiting for me, their faces showed emotions I knew they would display.
"As unbelievable as it seems, it's trying to heal itself, I think we should go"
My voice was calm and serious.
"Well you heard him, let's get the fuck out of here, before something happens!"
Kaldareth spoke, his voice loud and charismatic, his face, displayed concerns of the unknown.
Morvain tossed my bag, which i caught, and we continued our journey into the abyss.
