BXBX NOVEL Chapter 405 The Result Of Ray’s Carelessness
…
"Huh? Where am i?" His fluttered open as he questioned himself, feeling pain all over his body; he felt his head hurt as if he had just smashed into a concrete wall.
"What happened?" He muttered as his vision grew brighter and he saw the world around himself. Noticing that he was laying on a comfortable bed, he thought that maybe; he would have woken up and come to reality but seeing the three people standing over his head, looking at him as if he had just done something they asked him not to.
"Why are you guys here?" He muttered and sat up, feeling the pain increase but he also noticed; that slowly, the pain was subsiding and so, he decided to just endure it.
"Well, we are here to tell you some stuff," Mag'ladroth said,
"And also put some sense into your brain,"continued FengFeng as flames burned over her hair while the third figure only smiled,
"And you are going to love it," seeing her smile, Ray suddenly felt not so good. That wasn't the sweet sort of smile but the smile of a devil who had finally found his playmate and unfortunately, that playmate turned out to be Ray.
"But why are you doing this to me?" He questioned, a bit confused as to why those who had helped him for so long were saying such words and showing such expressions as if they would swallow him whole.
"Kid you have the gall to ask that from us?" Mag'ladroth roared as the surroundings trembled, his eyes turning blank, a void forming within them.
"See, I really don't remember much and please, explain to me. I want to help you all as much as you guys want to help me or even your own self," he replied, not being scared from Mag'ladroth's aura at all. After all, he understood that it was just that the Void Dragon was worried and angry at him for something he must have done. If Mag'ladroth wanted him gone, he would have done so long ago and not play around the words like this.
"Aurora?" Ray turned to the third figure, seeing the flames of anger dancing around in her eyes, he asked, "Please, if not for the sake of system or me but for the sake of my family. The better I understand everything, the faster I get out of here and fix everything," saying so, he looked into her eyes as she felt his compassion and pain all at once.
The two shared a telepathic bond and were able to feel each other's emotions at any time and right now, Aurora clearly felt what Ray was going through right now. She felt his pain, his worry, his regret, his sadness, his everything. She felt how scared Ray was, worried that some harm might come to his sister or mother.
"Sighh, lemme show it to you. That way you would understand it better," saying so, Aurora started leaning in closer to him.
"You! Why are you coming in closer? Can't you share it all through the bond?" Ray asked, feeling a bit scared but more than that, nervous. Although he had a girlfriend and a lot of female interaction, the intimacy was with Aella only and seeing Aurora act like that, he felt uneasy.
"You want to know of everything or not? Its the only way, and no; I cant share the whole thing telepathically, it just needs to be like this. So don't be a scaredy cat and let me do my thing," Aurora said, her voice resolute and firm, as if an instructor reprimanding Ray of acting not in order.
On the other hand, observing all this; FengFeng smiled mischievously as she leaned in and spoke into Mag'ladroth's ear,
"I taught her, or else; she would have acted like an obedient puppy and done as he had asked right away,"
Hearing that, Mag'ladroth only shuddered in fear, remembering how apart from being the Temporal Phoenix, she was also a manipulator and a vixen, who could wound up men around her finger as if some thread and control it as she wanted.
Gulping, Mag'ladroth only watched as Aurora leaned in closer to Ray; pushed him back on the bed and climbed on him. Placing her hands on his shoulder, she caressed his face and leaned in to kiss him on the lips. As soon as their lips touched, Ray felt his mind enter into a blank state; his body freezing up as the things around him changed, the scenery in front of him changing entirely as he saw a blank world void of anything and only filled with darkness.
The darkness was then forced away by a light that grew increasingly intense by the second, like a revolution brought into the world, the light grew bigger and bigger until Ray wasn't in darkness anymore and was in a world filled with greenery and three separate islands.
"That's my soul sea," Ray muttered as he vividly remembered it. He knew that his soul sea had changed quite a lot recently and the last time he came here, Aurora, FengFeng and Mag'ladroth had built separate island for themselves to live so they wont disturb anyone and continue on with their work.
Aurora's island was calm and serene, with a pond and flowed into the soul sea. Fishes swimming in the pond, releasing motes of light into the air that formed a very beautiful rainbow in the air. Right next to it was a garden filled with different types of beautiful flowers that Ray had come across throughout his life and with it was a house not too big. Just two stories tall, reminiscent of Ray's previous house, bringing a wave of nostalgia to him.
Turning to FengFeng's island, it was exactly like her tastes. A modern complex filled to brim with different types of electronic and modern commodities of luxury with a penthouse at the top where she lived her life leisurely.
Lastly, Mag'ladroth's island was perhaps the most crude but also most advanced. It was simply a huge cave with a non suspicious entrance and nothing to it. It looked almost as if it was just a bizarre piece of a hollow rock but it was only when one would enter it that they would find the cave was only a cover and the real treasures hid inside.
Like any dragon, Mag'ladroth's island wasn't just his living place but a whole lair with everything he needed and was filled to the brim with maximum amount of defensive armaments and arrays while only Ray had the authority to arrive without permissions and anyone else would have their consciousness erased.
It was already a wonder how Ray's soul sea could even implement such things, almost like it was a subspace of its own but it was a mystery to everyone and Ray himself. Something he knew that only time would tell.
As the time flowed, he saw his soul sea tremble and go into disarray, the edges and the horizon started to disappear and break as the three residents inside it came running out. Noticing that the soul sea was breaking up and disappearing.
Seeing this, Ray realized what it was. It was the time when his soul core had cracked open from the overuse of his bloodline energy. Seeing this, Ray was already worried but seeing what happened next only made his expression darker as the scenery around him turned worse.
His soul sea started to break down at a faster rate and it was ending so fast that soon enough, the islands started to break and the three had to rush out and huddle in middle, their backs to one another as they tried their everything to stop it but nothing stopped the wreaking of the soul sea.
As Ray observed, everything went on. The soul sea continued to get destroyed, turning worse by the second and soon it was on the three, reaching them; slowly their bodies started to get blurry as their existence was also endangered, being destroyed.
"Nooo!!!" Ray shouted, tears streaming down his eyes, finally understanding why the three were so furious at him. They had done everything for him and Ray had discarded them, almost destroying their very existence not thinking of them at all.
"What did I doo?? Why did I do it??" He cried hysterically, grabbing his hair and pulling them out in pain and fury.
The other moment, everything stopped. Their bodies in a semi transparent state as they looked around themselves as they noticed that the soul sea had stopped being destroyed and it stayed like that for a good time until a small seed appeared from above and the Yagdrassil's voice echoed in the soul sea,
"Fret not, he is safe now and will live on but it comes with its consequences. Nothing will happen to you three but things wont be same from now and it is your duty to help him conquer himself back,"
