My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 946

Capítulo 946: Chapter 944 Rakan’s Awakening 2

Kisha and Duke sat quietly in their chairs, keeping a close watch over Rakan. Duke made sure to maintain the ‘Ice Spikes’ surrounding him, but because of Rakan’s rapidly rising body temperature, the ice was melting faster than expected. He had to constantly conjure new spikes, pouring all his focus into ensuring the ice didn’t vanish all at once.

At the same time, he carefully controlled the melting process, preventing the water from soaking Rakan’s clothes; he didn’t want it freezing again when more ice formed around him. The last thing he wanted was anyone saying he lacked control over his power.

So, Duke went the extra mile, making sure that aside from Rakan’s own sweat, no other moisture touched his body. It was the least he could do.

After all, when he and Kisha awakened their abilities, there had been people there to wipe away their sweat and ease their discomfort. But Rakan had no one tending to him now, and Duke couldn’t just let him endure it completely alone, so he was being a little nicer to Rakan now.

Perhaps it was because they were forcing Rakan’s awakening instead of letting it happen naturally that he was suffering so much. After all, neither Kisha nor Duke had experienced pain like this during their own awakenings.

They had only fallen unconscious with a high fever, feeling as though molten magma flowed through their veins, yes, but nothing compared to what Rakan was enduring now.

Rakan was writhing on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably in agony. Watching him like that, Duke could only think that the least he could do for the poor man was to keep him from being soaked by the melting ice water.

It wasn’t much, but it was the only comfort Duke could offer amid Rakan’s torment.

And so, Kisha and Duke kept their silent vigil over Rakan as he underwent his awakening. They even assumed they would have to wait until morning, as was usually the case with natural awakenings.

While watching over him, the two began discussing seriously how they would explain the situation once Rakan finally regained consciousness.

“Do you think we’ll even need to explain this? Almost everyone in our team is an awakened ability user, and those from Adam’s shelter must have already heard about awakenings before.”

“There’s really no need for an explanation. What we should be thinking about now is whether we’ll stay in this shelter for the night or head back home with Rakan,” Kisha said thoughtfully.

After all, both she and Duke still had plenty of unfinished work waiting for them at the base. Duke’s Biogas Project was at its most critical stage and was close to completion, while Kisha had several tasks piling up.

She needed to inscribe new magic scrolls after using one during the fight with the mutated zombie, and she also had to replenish the Stamina Boosters she’d distributed to the base’s warriors.

On top of that, she was planning to supply some to Sparrow and Vulture’s team as well, since she’d realized how much more dangerous the world had become after the first phase of her system mission. It was no longer just her facing these threats; perhaps this was what the “Beginning of the End Battle” they recently endured at HOPE Base truly meant.

And so, making sure that all her people were well-stocked and well-prepared was a necessity — especially since the STAUs must have used up a considerable amount of supplies during the recent defense battle to protect the shelter in Maple Leaf Town.

But before Kisha and Duke could decide on their next move, a sound interrupted their thoughts.

Knock… Knock… Knock…

A gentle, cautious knock echoed from the sturdy wooden door, halting Kisha and Duke’s discussion mid-sentence. Both turned their gaze toward the door before Kisha muttered softly, “It’s unlocked. Please, come in.”

She straightened in her seat, completely forgetting that Rakan was still sprawled on the floor. Duke, who was about to scoop Kisha onto his lap, caught sight of Rakan’s limp figure and sighed.

Instead of moving toward Kisha, he crouched down, grabbed Rakan by the collar, and dragged him behind the row of chairs where he wouldn’t be seen from the doorway.

Only after making sure Rakan was fully hidden did Duke finally stride over, lift Kisha from her seat, and settle her on his lap. By the time he finished his swift series of actions, the person outside, after a long moment of hesitation, finally pushed the door open and stepped inside.

The moment the door opened, the man was greeted by the sight of Duke shamelessly flirting with Kisha on his lap, or that’s how it looked in his eyes. He almost choked on his own saliva, instantly regretting his decision to come and call these two lovebirds.
