Chapter 26: Curse Torment
Pain, an excruciating deep pain Kaiju haven't felt for a while. Despite his Pain Tolerance skill, a Rare rank at that, it only dwindles the pain somewhat. Perhaps, if it was not for the skill, he might have fainted a long time ago.
Although he was taken by shock, Kaiju endured it. He gritted his teeth while standing on all fours, while clutching his hand, forming into fist, to lessen the degree of pain, at least. However, it was tormenting. He could even hear his bone cracking, his blood boiling as though it was in chaos. Blue, red, violet... all of the colors in the rainbow were slithering all over his skin, his veins bulging out.
His body continued to convulse. He experienced various illnesses in a split second. Hallucinations, disease, senses disability, heart even skipping a beat from time to time, and he instantly felt so very weak. However, the very fact he continued to stand on all fours conveyed his resilience to endure the pain.
Even causing the surrounding people to gasp in admiration.
Kaiju did not only experience physical attack, even his mental health as he was experiencing a nightmare.
Would you believe it if he was currently in the fourth hour of his nightmare when in reality, not even four seconds has passed yet? In the nightmare, Kaiju fought against various monsters, even beasts. He even heard the guffaw of the witch, as though she was watching everything in amusement, and could see everything while Kaiju could not even spot her silhouette.
If the sky of the Hellish Trial was gloomy and dreadful, the world of his nightmare was even more so–crimson dark world, withered trees, barren expanse, countless monsters and beasts. What was worse was all the latter's target was him, drowning him, while Kaiju was trying his best to repel them but to no avail.
The nightmare didn't end when he died, instead, he was revived and continued to experience the same nightmare again and again.
Slowly... Kaiju felt despair. The cycle kept repeating, he was already beyond his limit. If it was not for the rapid growth he accumulated in the past week, he wouldn't have lasted for more than four hours long.
