Chapter 246: Vile Vermin
’This wasn’t what I was expecting by excruciating pain.’ Kyle grunted, tightly holding his wrists.
Staring at his left palm, there was a small hole invisible to the normal human eyes. But with his enhanced vision, he could trace the remnant of blue energy. Which was mana left by the parasite.
’Thud!’
His knees crashed to the floor, unable to crouch with the agonizing pain assaulting his arm. It wasn’t just his arm that suffered the effects from the contamination of the savage vermin. But his entire body!
Every single bone in his body aches, suddenly becoming weak. His flesh were shrinking fast before his very eyes, leaving skinny arms. That resembled sticks rather than arms.
His cheeks and facial features weren’t also spared. The meat surrounding them going flaccid, retracting in. Revealing his cheek bones, and shrunken pupils. Hiding under the dark circles on his eyelids.
[Kyle! Are you alright?] Snow hurriedly questioned, watching his mana being drained along with his blood.
"Y-yeah, I’m fine." Kyle managed to get out, amid the excessive pain clouding his reasoning.
’For a larvae, this little sucker sure has some spice to it.’ A weak smile formed to Kyle’s mouth, causing snow to wonder how he had the energy to smile.
The mana parasite wasn’t a common type of beast, very scarce and rare to come by. Only occuring occasionally during high outbursts of mana, under specific conditions. Such as the world’s tears currently ongoing, for more than an hour now.
"I get it feeds o mana but why do I feel my blood is also being drained?" He could feel his bloodstream being depleted before his very eyes.
And even the little strength he had in store slowly fading away. He couldn’t feel the connection of the energy in the mana parasite now dissolved into his blood streams.
