Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Chapter 2.4 - Beginning

A tree whose branches stretched toward the heavens, adorned with delicate leaves that glowed with an ethereal luminescence. The air around the tree seemed to hum with an ancient power.

It was the tree that housed the Vitalium Essence since I was finally able to see the shimmering aura inside the tree.

"Finally," I mumbled to myself, my hand reaching toward the tree. As my fingertips touched the tree, I felt the energy entering my body, filling it with strength. The weak feeling in my body started disappearing slowly.

/THROB/

Until I felt a throb inside my heart. 'Huh?'

Following that, a searing pain erupted within me, radiating from my heart like wildfire consuming everything in its path.

"KURGK!" I tried to voice and scream in pain, but my mouth was blocked by the familiar liquid that tasted metallic.

Agony wracked my body, overwhelming my senses. Each heartbeat felt like a hammer striking against my chest, threatening to shatter me from within. My vision blurred, the world around me spinning in a chaotic dance of light and darkness.

"KRUGHK!"

I tried to call out, but my voice caught in my throat. The pain intensified, becoming unbearable until it engulfed me entirely. Darkness closed in, and I could no longer fight against the overwhelming weight of unconsciousness.

"I...…m…th.....ou...…." "...….a...wi...y..."

As I slipped out of consciousness, the last sensation I felt was the ethereal voice sounding inside my head; however, in the midst of the pain, I could no longer discern what the voice was saying.

Little did I know, it was the very thing I was looking for.

As Astron lay unconscious on the ground, a mysterious transformation began to take place. An ethereal white glow enveloped his body, radiating with a mesmerizing brilliance.

The surrounding environment seemed to respond to this celestial energy as if acknowledging the awakening of a hidden power.

In the midst of this luminous spectacle, there appeared a necklace on the choke of Astron, shining with a luminous light of green. It was a crescent-shaped necklace as the stone shone.

The green glowed ethereally as it slowly started flowing from the necklace to Astron's heart.

Following that, Astron's eyes slowly opened, revealing an otherworldly gleam of white within their depths.

"Brother….." An ethereal voice of a young woman echoed inside the environment, showcasing that the one that was inside the body was no longer Astron.

"You found the medium….We can finally become one…." As the same ethereal voice echoed, the green glow inside the Astron's eyes disappeared, his eyes becoming pure white. Behind his body, a silhouette of a girl appeared.

"My essence, my magic will be your power, Astron." In her incorporeal form, the girl extended her magical powers toward him, weaving a delicate tapestry of mystical energy. Her essence flowed into his unconscious body, merging with his essence seamlessly.

"I am with you, and I will always be." Her gentle voice echoed as her dreamy hands caressed his skin.

The green glow from the necklace intensified, pulsating with an otherworldly radiance as her enchantments unfolded. Her ethereal hands moved gracefully, tracing intricate patterns in the air, channeling the essence of her magic into Astron's being.

"Et solis ab ignis, elementum incendere, Introrsus ardens, vires mihi praebere. Fortitudinem et ignem, cordi eius infunde, Tenebris obstans, robore defende."

The girl whispered ancient incantations, her hands moving gracefully as she commanded the mana around Astron's body to enter inside.

The strands of light wove themselves into intricate patterns, forming ethereal symbols that seemed to pulsate with ancient wisdom. They adorned Astron's limbs and traced delicate patterns across his skin, like celestial tattoos of power. The light flowed through his veins, forming patterns for the future.

"Seek the Moonstone, brother," her voice echoed, filled with guidance. "And never forget where we came from…."

As her last words left her mouth, a faint tear dropped on the young man's face, as the silhouette blurred, turning into an ethereal light, as it flew into the necklace it came from.

Eventually, the necklace vanished from the grasp of the Astron, along with the gleaming designs on its body.

*******

"Kurghk-" Feeling the pain over my head, I woke up with a grunt.

My whole body was aching inside, even though I was able to feel a weird sense of freshness all around my body.

The tree that had an ancient glow could no longer be seen, as in its place was there another tree that looked dried and dead.

"What happened?" I mumbled as I stood up. "What was that pain that assaulted me?" I tried to make sense of the things that happened just before but was not able to. "In the first place, this easter egg is supposed to make the person consuming feel comfortable," I mumbled to myself while stretching my body.

"I mean, I am feeling refreshed, but that pain was something else…." However, the more I thought about this, the more unanswered questions resided in my head. "I won't be able to reach anywhere with this."

Thinking that, I opened my status window. In a way, there was the possibility of seeing something related to there.
