From the side, hearing Zangibar’s voice jolted me awake.
“Oh, go and gather up our forces… We are going to the next target.”
“Sure… Lord, are you alright?”
“It’s fine… Just… Can you see anything up there?” I pointed towards the direction I felt the presence of that hidden spark of light there.
“There?” Zangibar looked at the direction for a few seconds, “no, there isn’t anything there, lord.”
“Ok, bring the men and let them get arranged and ready for a battle. The next target will be much harder than this.”
“You mean a little easier, hahahaha!”
“Never underestimate the enemy, ok?” I was feeling irritated by that feeling. As he left without saying much, almost feeling my bad mood, I couldn’t help and went towards that spark I felt and couldn’t see.
If I didn’t get to see that thing that went into my body, I’d not think much about that spark of light that I could feel and couldn’t see.
But I got something into my body, and didn’t know what was going on. And having something that I didn’t understand was getting on my nerves.
“This…” I passed my hand over the area where I felt the presence of that light. I felt nothing, and my hand passed through it like nothing was really there by thin air.
“Hmm…” I looked at my right hand in the middle of that invisible and hidden spark of light. I didn’t get what was going on, but I got an idea.
That thing flashed into my left hand. So I withdrew my right and extended my left hand.
And when I did, something flashed on my left hand, before I could feel something.
It was clearly an object, hovering midair, similar to any cube. I tried to touch it with my hand, feeling its surface and trying to get its shape.
I was like touching thin air! There was nothing seen in front of me, but I could feel this thing in my left hand.
“Come inside,” as I could feel it, then shouldn’t I try and take it inside my inventory?
*Rumble!* *Bang!*
Like a bomb exploding, a mighty rumble echoed in my mind, shaking me down to the soul. Then I felt my body flying in the air before landing fiercely on the ground.
This… Damn! What the heck was there exactly?
“Lord… Are you ok?”
Just seeing me flying in such a way must have left my people worried.
I saw Zangibar running towards me in the middle of a large group of the strongest leaders of my forces.
“I’m ok,” I raised one hand to stop their worry as I slowly stood up. I checked, and nothing was there on the suit of the Hescos.
But I still feel the fierce shaking that assaulted my soul.
“Did you see that?” I pointed towards the direction of that spark, yet from the look on their faces I got that they saw nothing.
“Lord… All we saw was you thrown in the air without any reason!” Zangibar moved his eyes over the others, while saying these words in such a doubtful tone.
“This…” I got that what happened there was unseen or perceived by them. What the hell was wrong with that cube? Was it even there?
I looked at its direction then at my body far away from it. This wasn’t an illusion. That cube existed, and it fiercely fought back when I tried to get it into my inventory.
What the hell should I do now?
“Oh… Don’t tell me…” all of sudden it hit me. What was the standard way of getting anything under my control and ownership?
It was simply by using blood!
I instantly ran towards it, not caring about others who went after me in worry and doubt. I didn’t care about the gazes they exchanged, as if I went crazy or something.
I didn’t end the current transformation. Who knew if I got such fierce backlash again without it what would happen.
I touched my hand with my glaive, and it seemed the suit didn’t stop it. I left blood fall and cover up my left hand before extending it and touched that piece of sh*t.
And like I expected, the moment my blood touched it, the cube started to flash and appear in front of my and others’ eyes. It absorbed my blood, before it suddenly twitched, and vanished in a flash directly into my body.
“What is that?!!”
“Was that even present here?!!”
“I couldn’t feel its presence at all!!!”
Many exclamations of shock came from around me, yet I wasn’t in the mood to care about them for now.
That damn thing… It also went inside my body without my permission. The thing I hated most was for anything to mess with my body without my permission, and most worse without my control!
I checked my inventory fast, but couldn’t see any presence of that cube there. What the heck was that thing then? Why did it vanish into my body? And what would it do?
I tried to inspect my body using my spiritual energy, closing my eyes for a few minutes. There was nothing wrong in there, making me more disturbed.
“Lord… Lord…” when I opened my eyes, I heard the anxious voice of Zangibar, “is everything alright?” he hurriedly asked with immense worry on his and others’ faces.
“I’m good… Let’s head towards the next territory,” I took a last gaze at the place that the cube was at, touched it again before finding nothing.
Whatever was there already vanished into my body, and gods only knew what was going to do in there.
Hopefully it wouldn’t be the start of a big problem for me, or else I’d regret being too curious.
As there was nothing left here to do, I went back to my chariot, leading the forces towards my next target. The acquired forces that were left without a lord were now following me.
