3164 Corruption Spreads (Part 2)

It wasn't the kind of pain that cripples the body.

The Void was comprised entirely of darkness element and just like an Abomination, Derek lacked pain receptors. What tormented him was an aching of the mind, caused by the constant corruption the spreading Chaos inflicted upon him.

The Cursed Element didn't just turn the darkness into more Chaos, it also twisted Derek's personality. The lack of light element marred an Abomination's life force until it affected their psyche.

The effects produced by the alterations were completely random. Some Abominations became geniuses. A few found enlightenment. The vast majority of the Abominations, however, became raving mad.

'I need to feed, but not on humans!' Derek thought, his mind echoing with pangs of hunger and Ezio's laughter.

The Void could almost hear his Earth's father mocking Derek for his weakness from the grave. It was the reason the Void avoided human settlements.

'Life isn't a comic. The odds of finding more criminals are damn low. If I get too close to people, I'll kill whoever I meet.' He would stop at a safe distance from the villages and sniff the air.

If he saw wildfires or smelled lots of blood, it would have meant that something bad was happening and that there was someone bad he could feed upon. Unluckily, there was no such thing.

Only warm lights came from the windows and the sounds of conversation between neighbors.

The hunger blessed Abominations with powerful senses.

The Void could now spot all kinds of life forms and sources of world energy without even looking. In a corner of his mind, he saw life forces like lights of varying intensity while world energy was like a discordant song.

It was all around him, but it was a weak cacophony that barely provided him any nourishment. The people in the various villages shone with lights so small that Derek knew they wouldn't last him five minutes.

'Even cows are stronger! I could feast on the cattle, but if I do that, the farmers will die of starvation. At that point, I might as well kill them too. It would be an act of mercy.' The Void drooled at the thought of feasting on the animals first and the humans later.

A white bead of saliva slipped through his fangs and sizzled on contact with his black skin, snapping him out of his reverie.

'No. I can't do it. I don't know why, but I can't do it.' The Void resumed his flight while the Voidfeather did his best to push the memories of Lith's family to the surface of the Abomination's mind.

'Indeed, I can't.' The Dragon snorted. 'I didn't come so far, I didn't sacrifice so much just to ruin years of hard work for a measly meal. If I hurt someone like Raaz, if I make a baby like Elysia an orphan, even if my family forgives me, I'd never forgive myself.'

The Voidfeather Dragon scanned the darkness of the night, hoping to find a mana geyser but to no avail. Lith had never been to the Hessar region and mana geysers were rare.

Finding one while moving in a random direction would have been nothing short of a miracle.
