Chapter 4098: Blue Mist
I got up gently.
There was still some slippery substance in there, but not as much as the stairs.
I was able to get up gently and dust myself off the slippery substance, which was everywhere on my body given the tumbles I took.
I also got a little roughed up with bruises all over my body. They are a little painful, but I have suffered the worst.
I was about to turn to the main attraction. When I felt a sharp eyes on me; four people are looking at every part of me.
Like before, it is not just me. They are looking like that to people of my group who tumbled out.
"What is happening?" I couldn"t help, but ask myself. Though I had made a note to myself to find out. These things are never good.
I need to have information about, it to save myself from the trouble that might arise due to it. With that, I turned to the chief attraction.
Blue mist.
In front of me is a blue mist, it is dense, and it is everywhere. People walk inside and a minute later disappear completely.
The only thing they could see was the flag.
It is the destination, and rumors said that reaching would make one break through the absolute limit. There is enough pressure in there to make that happen.
Barely anyone had reached there; it was extremely difficult.
It is why those who reached there didn"t publicize it. This means I didn"t have enough data to know what happened there, but I had no choice.
I have to check it. The rumors are the only hope, I have.
For some time, since I felt those gazes. I started to feel the uncertainty, that I had to break the absolute limit fast or it would be bad for me.
Even if I hadn"t felt it. I would have done it because these rumors are the only things I have.
If I checked enough of them. I might be able to find truly something that might help me break through the limit.
Who knows, this place is that thing.
I took a deep breath before walking toward the mist, and soon, I stepped inside it.
Hun!
Immediately, I felt the faint cooling sensation around me. As I took a few steps forward, I felt the energy pressing against me.
I moved further, the energy pressed against me harder, before finally entering inside me. There it tried to merge with me, but fainted, but still kept trying. With every step, the energy would get stronger and so would its attempt to merge with me.
I watched the energy and couldn"t help, but feel jealous of the surrounding people.
This energy is really powerful. If I hadn"t been an absolute limit. It would have boosted my strength by a lot.
I pushed those regretful thoughts away and focused on walking.
I could see people around me. Only their silhouettes and heard the noises they were making. It"s not painful noises that are mostly a.s.sociated with the strengthening.
They are noises of pleasure, as this energy isn"t painful at all.
I am really sure that when I break through the absolute limit. Every opportunity, I will get, will be painful; I would be lucky if I got something as painless as it.
Minutes pa.s.sed, and I kept walking, but the flag barely seemed to come close.
I am not surprised. It might seem close, but it"s quite far. The information had even predicted the distance, which is in miles.
It didn"t much matter to me. What mattered was the difficulty, and it was difficult. Currently, I can bear the pressure of the energy without a problem, but it won"t be the case forever as I move ahead.
This painless energy would become painful.
I will have to be careful of it and glad I still have my connections with my core and the clones. Once upon a time, the connection between me and my core used to be completely suppressed in a place like this.
That I couldn"t sense them, but as forbidden power increased in me, that began to change. It had changed.
Now, the suppression needs to be really powerful to suppress the connection with the core thoroughly, like the others.
I could see the properties of this energy and what it was trying to do to me.
It is making me regret even further that I couldn"t absorb it. This energy is really amazing,
one of the best strengthening ones, I have come across.
I tried to collect as much as data possible from it.
These are types of energies that help with craft my own strengthening solutions. Whenever I come across them, I try to get as much data from them as possible.
Soon, over half an hour pa.s.sed, and the energy started to press me hard.
It had become uncomfortable and every step, I took. It would get harder and harder.
The same thing is happening to the people around me. Most of them have stopped moaning in pleasure and gone quiet.
Even if the energy is pleasurable. Once it gets powerful enough and comes at one with enough force, it could become uncomfortable and painful.
A few more minutes pa.s.sed, and it became really uncomfortable for me.
It is like, I am getting pressed by fluffy mattresses hard from all sides.
As I take the steps forward, these fluffy mattresses are getting harder and the force they are applying is stronger.
I could see many people slowing down due to it.
One or two had even stopped, taking only a step forward every few seconds. This is just the beginning, things will get harder.
Not only for them but also for me. More for me, actually.
I am like a sealed tank that is getting deeper into the ocean, which is increasing pressure on
me. If the pressure increases beyond what the tank could bear.
It will implode.
If that happened to me. The result would be death.
