BXBX NOVEL Chapter 182: Chapter 182:Feelings [2]
However, as the green bird appeared in my hands, I suddenly felt the temperatures surrounding me instantly decrease.
It was to the point where I was beginning to lose feeling in my hand as I couldn't even move it anymore.
Eventually forcing my head to look downwards, I saw Alya still free-falling towards the ground, just like me.
Could she have done something?
Looking even closer, I peered through the air, finding Alya, whose eyes were locked onto the ground right below her.
And, just as the ground was revealed to my eyes, a large ice spear appeared, and before I could react, it began flying upwards.
...was she committing suicide?
Staying still for the moment, I watched as the ice spear, its tip as sharp as a high-tier sword artifact, flew further and further upward.
But, it moved up a faster and faster pace...
Then, as the ice spear reached Alya's body, I was about to use a dash to stop her from doing whatever it was she was attempting.
But before I could do anything, the ice spear simply passed through Alya's body as if she were a hologram.
The next moment, the large and sharp ice spear was already upon me, closing the distance between Alya and me within less than a second.
Moving my legs, I attempted to use a dash, yet as I desperately commanded my leg to move in any direction, nothing happened.
My leg simply remained still, ignoring my commands.
It was too cold...
Seeing my legs not move, I attempted to raise my hand to my eyes to slow my perception of my time.. but it was the same.
My hand stayed in the same place.
I had lost control over my entire body...
Unable to do anything, I simply watched as the ice spear barrelled forward at my free-falling body.
As the tip of the ice spear touched the jacket I had on, my body's temperature decreased even further.
My thoughts began to slow, and I couldn't even form a coherent thought... or even think for that matter.
My eyes began to close involuntarily, and silence slowly descended upon my ears.
Finally, the ice spear moved forward a centimeter, stabbing straight through my jacket and embedding itself in my stomach.
Letting out a small yelp as the ice spear further pierced my chest, I could only watch... or at some points, my eyes would completely close.
Breaking past the skin layer of my body, the spear began tearing through my muscles and ligaments.
My free-falling downwards, combined with the spear moving upwards, caused the spear to blitz past any form of protection I had without slowing down a single bit.
Then, just as my eyesight blurred and eventually became completely dark, a sudden jolt of energy enveloped my body.
Was it adrenaline!?
Not wasting the single moment of freedom I had back, I immediately grasped the body of the ice spear with my hands.
Expect it to be hard to pull out due to how deep it had penetrated my chest, I yanked the spear outwards with all the power I had.
Yet, to my surprise, the spear came out without a single problem, simply allowing itself to be yanked without any resistance.
However, a massive amount of blood was covering the ice spear, making it seem as if it were colored blood-red and not ice-blue
Feeling my body temperature increase and slowly regaining control over my body, I kicked my legs forward as I neared the ground.
Staring at the ice spear in my right hand, I immediately lost my train of thought as I noticed that it had... melted.
There was no longer a tip on the ice spear.
It had completely melted away, leaving just the body.
Was that why it had been so easy to pull out?
Landing on the ground with my feet, I immediately peered around my surroundings, trying to find Alya.
Not finding Alya, I immediately took off my jacket before pressing it into my chest.
Even if the ice spear was no longer there, the hole it had left was still very visible.
As my white academy jacket became stained red from all the blood, I winced... in disgust, not pain.
"...wait, why am I not hurting? Why do I feel normal?"
Staring at the deep wound in my chest, I once again confirmed it was there before staring at my hands.
Maybe it was the adrenaline?
No...it doesn't last this long.
Staring at my right hand, I attempted to look for clues on the culprit, the ice spear, yet there was nothing left in my right hand.
Besides my hand being drenched in water, it was simply normal, not holding or keeping anything.
...the ice-spear had already melted?
This entire area was surrounded by trees and branches, so it couldn't have been the sun...
Recalling the blood that covered the ice-blue spear, I removed my jacket and glanced downward at my wound.
My wound was still there...but I wasn't feeling any pain.
Was this the effect of the dragon's blood ability?
Not feeling any pain from injuries?
...and melting ice somehow?
Wrapping my jacket around the wound and applying pressure, I carefully walked forward, scared that a rush of pain would just appear from the deep wound in my chest.
"...wait."
Stopping dead in my tracks and looking around, I sighed upon not seeing Alya anywhere in the vicinity.
I had been overconfident, thinking I could just beat her without any problems... but I was majorly proven wrong.
Well... there was also the fact that I WAS TRYING TO SAVE HER.
The only reason I hadn't realized my body slowly losing control was because I was trying to save Alya as I thought she was attempting to end herself with the ice-spear.
