Chapter 97: Pungent
"What?" Eli frowned, \'What is she talking about?..\'.
"Ho, I am sorry If I forget to introduce myself....Well then,
My name is Aadya. I am working as a professor in Nex and I am the current and only teacher of \'MANA BREATHWORK\' in Nex" Aadya said professionally as she nudged her glasses with a....smug?
"....I see" Eli nodded his head but he was shocked inwardly, it was not because of Aadya...it was that his previous manual clearly stated that it could only be learned by a Soulless person, \'then how is she going...\' but his thoughts were stopped when Aadya answered him as if she already know what he thinking.
"Yes, It could be only learned by the Soulless person but there was a small error in it..."
"..." Eli didn\'t interrupt her as he let her finish first then he would ask questions.
Noticing this Aadya smiled inwardly, \'at least he knows how to act\' and started to continue,
"Even if the person awakened they could still learn this technique but they have to give up on becoming a cultivator....even so you won\'t be able to achieve or reach the highest degree level in this technique, so that\'s why everyone hesitates to use this technique even though it was quite powerful and all.
And the important thing is they have to give up on immortality by learning this technique....forever as a mortal" Aadya explained at the end she said with melancholy but she returned to her indifferent gaze.
"..." Eli slowly digested the information and then frowned as he suddenly asked,
"Then what abou.."
But before he could ask, she answered him,
"Yes, I am Early Monarch Ranker but also Master of Mana Breathwork" Aadya said with little pride if we saw her face closer.
"How?" Eli asked with astonishment.
"Hmm...you could say I am a miracle or something...or some kind of special existence. Even so my skills and rank stopped the moment I reached the Early Monarch Rank and Master Level on Breathwork" Aadya also explained about her condition.
"Is that so...?" Eli understood that she didn\'t want to delve into her personal.
"Yes, Everyone has to reach their limit one day....nothing more" Aadya said carefreely as if she wasn\'t interested in saying about her conditions more than necessary.
Realizing that she won\'t say more Eli just nodded his head, \'She has a unique type of body, I guess...\'.
While Scylla just stood there silently but if one see her closely we could hear something as she mumbled, \'Another singularity...\'.
"Understood, So what should I do then?" Eli didn\'t care for her side story. His only focus is to remove this hellish pain in his muscles whenever he tried to move.
"Remove your dress" Aadya suddenly said as she put the files back into her inventory then took a single table bed and then finally looked at the other two but seeing their reaction she frowned.
"What?"
"...!" Eli awkwardly cross his arm against his chest as if he was shocked to hear Aadya was after his body, \'Danger..\'.
"...!!"
Scylla\'s face darkened when she heard it but soon thought, \'It must be checking...\' but when Aadya took out the small table bed...her mana leaked without knowing.
Seeing their reaction, she replied, "It\'s a treatment I should need him to be unclothed....if you don\'t want then we could leave..." Aadya said indifferently as if she was already guessing what was going on in their head as she glanced at Scylla a few times.
"...No need" Eli replied as he tried to joke with her before but, \'She really knows how to play...\' Eli thought.
"Good" Aadya nodded her head and looked at Scylla and said, "I want you to stay 2 meters away from him".
"....Yes" Scylla wanted to retort but after seeing Eli\'s glance, she decided to stay silent....for now.
\'tic\'
\'rustle\'
Eli slowly undressed and Scylla took it like a good maid? Though, \'No matter How many times I saw his body...it always amazes me how he kept his refined even though he is just a mortal\' she thought as she ogled at Eli\'s body but not showing it outside. After a few minutes, he was standing there with grey boxers only.
"Should I..."
"No, need" Aadya cut him off and motioned him to lie on the table bed.
"Come and lie on the bed facing front"
Eli nodded and went to the table bed and gently patted it before lying on it.
"..."
Aadya first check his pulse,
\'Ba-dump, Ba-dump, Ba-dump...\'
For some reason, his heart beating faster than normal. Frowning she took a glance at Eli but he was simply staring at the white-with-green ceiling.
When he felt her gaze turned to look at Aadya,
"Hmm?"
"...Nothing" Aadya shook her head while saying.
"..."
Eli looked at her few more seconds and then his eyes returned to the ceiling.
Seeing this, Aadya turned to focus on Eli\'s body while inwardly sighing in relief, \'I thought it was due to me, but...sigh, Let\'s not think abou...\'
"You are too self-conscious, Ms. Aadya"
Suddenly Eli\'s words interrupted her thoughts. Her hand motion stopped for a second but soon she steadily herself.
"What do you mean?" Aadya asked indifferently.
Eli shot a glance at her and said, "....Nothing".
She also calmed her sudden heart attack. She then started to check his body.
....
After 15 minutes,
"As Professor James said before, It\'s a miracle your body moving in such a condition" Aadya said after finishing checking his body.
"Well, Miracle tends to happen nowadays" Eli replied with a small smile.
"..." Aadya eye\'s twitched as she heard some giggle behind her.
"So?"
"...Well, at least one week is required to bring your body to normal condition...."
"..." Eli stayed silent.
"Before that, you will have to go through some...no, hellish pain for a week and you aren\'t allowed to use this technique until I say" Aadya said seriously as she focused his eyes to see any wavering but to her disappointment,
"Let\'s start now" Eli said carefreely.
Seeing this, Aadya nodded and started to take out some small white with traces of green colour hollow needles.
Scylla stayed silent while biting her lips as she already knew this would come one day; when Eli asked for help to learn 2nd form...she always thought, \'There will be a consequence for their actions\' as she started to worry, \'If I firmly refused to help back then....he won\'t have to suffer now. I am....\' as she tried to apologize to Eli inwardly.
\'wink\'
Eli winked at her before focusing on Aadya.
Scylla sadly smiled at Eli\'s way of calming the worries in her heart.
"These needles are made up of Dead Late Emperor Rank \'Dragon bones\' with veins of the \'World Tree\'.....so don\'t dare to move or it will break" Aadya said carefully and threaten him not to move.
"Hmm? You are going to use that kind of treasure....me?" Eli was surprised to see Aadya using something like that. He didn\'t exactly know what they were but from the name itself, \'It must be something big right....but not as much as my wife\'s gift\' he thought as his mind slipped into the time when Lilith gift him weapons.
"....."
But all he got was a simple annoyed stare.
"...Understand" Eli nodded his head.
"Okay, Let\'s start the procedure" Aadya said.
Then she first pricked his between the eyebrows.
"..." Eli didn\'t feel anything but he chose to stay silent until treatment finished.
Then she pricked a few more in the place after that she pricked his nose, ears, mouth, around the eyes, neck, elbow joints, fingers, upper chest, foot, leg fingers, heel, ankle, calf, knee, thigh, hips, belly and some around the crotch as she placed through the underwear as if she could see everything inside his body.
She finally stopped after continuously placing the needles.
Till now Eli didn\'t feel any particular pain, all he felt was an ant bite.
"Hereafter only pain...." Aadya said as her gorgeous green eyes shone before she suddenly pricked.
\'Her eye....\'grrrrrr\'\' Eli frowned when he saw her eyes shining but before he could think a pain suddenly assaulted his entire body as if his mind, lungs every part of his body felt being torn apart.
But he didn\'t show it on the outside. He gritted his teeth as he already suffered this kind of pain, \'Even so it made me remember some unwanted memory\' Eli thought as he endured the tearing pain around his body and even could feel his muscles being repaired only to break again.
"Oh...that\'s interesting" Aadya suddenly muttered as she was amused by Eli\'s non-reaction.
\'pppsssss\'
Suddenly an air-leaking sound can be heard. Aadya looked at the source.
"..."
She pricked exactly on his soul crystal with a minute of contact and air leaking in from his hollow needles.
\'Sniff\'
"-Urrgghh-" She smelled it only to change her face in disgust.
"It\'s an ugly pungent old spoiled rotten egg smile..." She muttered as she suddenly took out a mask, \'I never smelled like this before in anybody...\' Aadya pondered.
Eli had an awkward face when he heard her irrelevant lengthy words and soon small drops of dark black and dark blue drops started to appear in his hollow needles and his natural pores.
\'cough, cough\'
Eli suddenly coughed full of blood...but taking another look at the blood it was mixed with some dark blue substance which had been seen in the same colour of Ghostcat\'s flesh during the Prison dungeon.
"I see...so you used the 3rd form in Ocean Arts....ah" Aadya nodded a few times and,
"Impressive, well then, let\'s not waste any more time...." she said as she took out another 100 needles and started to prick his body.
\'...haha..shit\'
