Chapter 1837: Dangerous Bottleneck (Part 1)

Quylla emitted a shrill sound through her closed mouth as her skin turned black from the impurities that tainted it after reaching the surface. The same happened to her hair which lost its shades and to her nails which grew unnaturally long.

Then, they both fell off, just to regrow so quickly that the process hurt no less than losing them. At the same time, her skin dried and cracked due to the layer of external impurities having exceeded what the blood ?ow could sustain.

The black layer around Quylla fell apart, revealing the muscles underneath that twisted like living snakes entangled together. They also were ?lled with impurities from the harsh training she had endured and were eager to get rid of them.

The process happened three times as Quylla reached the deep cyan,

then the light cyan, and ?nally the bright cyan core. Each time she would expel the same amount of impurities but the process would become more painful since they came from a deeper part of her.

Then Lith, Solus, and Faluel channeled the power of the mana geyser against Quylla's core to stop the process before she reached the blue

"No more mana poisoning. Please, l beg of you.“ Quylla said amid sobs as the Hydra approached her.

"No more mana poisoning, little one. I promise you." Faluel wiped off her tears and offered her a tonic.

Quylla had yet to notice how much hair, skin, and nails she had shed until that moment. She was standing on a pile of wet dead parts of herself, like an insect after molting.

While the Hydra got her attention, Solus cleared the tower's ?oor from the remains. Quylla's mental strength was as important as her core for the Awakening to succeed.

Quylla sat on the ?oor to catch her breath and drank the liquid with gratefulness. Its sweet ?avor made her forget the hardships she had just endured. She still used Guiding Light to make sure that her core had not already reached the blue and Faluel wouldn't sucker poison her, just to be safe.

Quylla sighed in relief noticing that her mana core was bright cyan and streaked blue all over, like it was supposed to be.

"Nice breathing technique, little one. Since when did you develop it?‘

Lith asked while kneeling in front of her and offering her a second tonic that she hungrily gulped down.

"Months ago, right after I helped you to understand the secret of body casting and learned that of fusion magic for myself." Quylla said in between gulps. "You have no idea how many times I've been tempted to just use it and Awaken.

"Of course, the thought of death always stopped me in time. I'm not that stupid."

‘You are not stupid, little one. You are de?nitely a genius. And not so little, after all." Lith took a long appreciative look at her body.

"You had your opportunity with me and you lost it. I already have a boyfriend, so bug off." She replied while covering her chest and crotch with her hands in mock embarrassment.

lt was a brief chat and a stupid joke but it still helped her to take her mind off the pain she had endured and that she was about to.

"Blue is supposed to be even worse, right?“
