Chapter 373: An iconic day
Rudra was immersed trying to figure out what the hidden text said , his entire body was being tempered under the intense water pressure and the radiation from the golden text.
It was as if his skin was absorbing whatever the golden light was emitting , while his mind was operating at full speed trying to decipher the black text within it.
Rudra was going a qualitative transformation currently , although he did not know it , it was something related to internal force , the game was stimulating his mind to unlock the hidden potential of the internal force.
The mana circuits that were being upgraded in the game were the same as the circuit where internal energy flew. His body was being thoroughly enriched right now.
Excruciating pain , both in mind and body was being felt by every single cell in Rudra’s body. However it was a sweet kind of pain , the one that the mind wanted more of. As the notifications of his mana circuit improving kept ringing through his ears , Rudra grit his teeth and kept enduring.
Ten minutes became thirty minutes , and thirty minutes became an hour , which became two hours. At this point , Rudra’s entire body , was covered in black goo , his skin was blistering red , and his heartbeat had increased beyond 180 beats per minute.
Since the last 10 minutes , his ears were ringing , he could finally read the first four words on the tablet…. ” Energy Flows Through The … ”
It was all he could read before he started to hallucinate now , not being able to take it anymore , Rudra came out of the lake.
Luna was there standing over the lake , looking shocked , she had not expected the human to stay inside there for more than ten minutes , yet he endured for two entire hours.
Seeing the filth that covered Rudra , even though he just came out of a purewater lake , she understood that this man had made the most of this opportunity she gave him.
Rudra’s skin was sizzling currently , as water was evaporating from over it at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Luna used an ice type magic to conceal Rudra , within an igloo type ice House , as she said ” Come out when you are ready “.
The cold of the igloo felt extremely soothing to Rudra. As his disoriented mind , finally regained some focus.
Rudra looked at his skin ,which was red at some parts and covered In a thick black liquid in some others. Rudra smelled his arm , and instantly regretted his decision , he smelled like he had taken a swim in a gutter.
Only now could he focus on the notifications that had came from a long time.
