"Currently, only around half of the spatial energy inside you has been extracted."
"It should take around two months before the rest is extracted by fadabil stone," said Rava after nearly a minute of silence.
"It is working quite fast with you. Usually, it takes around a year to extract the number of spatial energies that you have inside you," added Prime Avana.
She is curious about it.
I smiled at that, and a moment later. Nine copper cubes appeared in front of me.
A surprise appeared in their eyes, and it was not the cubes that surprised them.
"These should help greatly with extraction," I stated and sent them toward them. In my current state, I shouldn't be able to use more than a fraction of my power.
I could use a third of it, but I didn't want to reveal it.
"As you had already guessed, the spatial devices don't work here due to the combination of the energies and spatial pressure of the realm."
"The core space is a rarity here; very few people have it," informed Prime Avana. It is more like a warning; she is telling me to be too careful.
I nodded gratefully before turning to Prime Rava, who was looking at copper cubes.
"These are amazing artifacts; it would help tremendously here," she said after over a minute of silence. "It is yours for helping me," I replied.
Even outside, these are very valuable healing-type artifacts.
Healers and organizations would pay massive amounts of money to get them as it would aid them in dealing with one of the difficult problems.
I don't know where the Foxman got them, but I found them in its storage, and now they are mine.
"Thank you," she thanked.
A moment later, the cubes came toward me, before I took the places around the tub.
They buzzed and lit up gently. A moment later, aside from the biggest one, which moved above me, the rest began to melt; the melted copper fell on the fadabil stone tub and began to form into the runes.
These spread all over the tub, before they fully covered it.
"At what level of power do you want?" asked Prive Rava. "Full power," I replied to her surprised, but a moment later, her expression turned somber.
"It will kill you," she said as a matter of fact.
"It will not, but if it tries to do that, lower the power," I replied.
It will be risky and extremely painful. I wouldn't have done that if I had not been in a dangerous place where I was powerless to do anything.
I couldn't even get out of this crystalline mud. The moment I did, the spatial energy inside me would start to ravage me once more.
So, I need to get rid of it. It is the only way I will be able to protect myself if someone or something has come to harm me.
She kept looking at me for several seconds before sighing.
A moment later, the cube above me buzzed, and the runes lit up. For several seconds, there was nothing before sharp pain coursed through my body and made me grit my teeth hard.
The artifact works like a magnet. It pulls the spatial energy that is inside one.
Its power is amplified when used with something like fadabil stone.
The artifact activated, and its power began to increase slowly. Right now, it is only 25% and has already become so painful.
It will become even more painful as its power increases.
I could feel Rava's eyes; she looked at me and my meta-scan. It is not my true meta-scan but what my clone fed her.
The data it is showing is true, except for my secrets.
Minutes passed, and things became more and more painful. That I wanted to open my mouth and scream, but doing that would make her at the power or even reduce it.
As I had said, I want to get rid of the spatial energy inside me. So I would be effectively able to deal with any threat that came to me.
This might be a sealed realm, but I don't think this place is without danger.
One terrible thing happened after another after I stepped into the gate, but I have survived. I need to be grateful for that.
As for this place being sealed, well, I do not believe it.
No place is ever truly every sealed. It's just that nobody has found a way out of it.
Once I get rid of the spatial energy, I will get a complete information about this realm. I am not going to stay here; there are many things for me to do, and I can't do them in this cage.
Over an hour passed, and the power of the artifact reached 50%.
It felt like days had passed, and I wanted to ask her to stop, but I didn't. I bore the pain, and as every second I bore, more spatial energy got out of me.
I do not want even a speck of it in my body, and until that happens, I will bear it no matter how painful it becomes.
Three and half hours passed, and the formation had finally reached its full power.
I feel like I am in hell, and years have passed, but only hours passed. The most crushing thought is that I will have to bear it for a long time.
However, it will be much shorter than two months. Far shorter than it.
Hours passed, and soon, fifteen hours passed, and the formation was still active at its full power. I am taking deep breaths; I have even stopped gritting my teeth.
It is a massive challenge to take breaths like that in this torturous pain, but it is helping me tremendously in bearing this pain.
I focused on my breathing as hours passed by. I forgot everything else, even keeping track of time and spatial energies in my body.
The only thing I am focused on is my breathing.
Finally, I noticed the change in pain. It begins to lessen, and within a second, it nearly disappears.
Now, the only pain I am feeling is from the injuries the process has left behind. Seeing that, I smiled before I closed my eyes and let the sweet sleep take me. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel{f}ire.net
