Chapter 357: Ranking up

Chapter 357: Ranking up

If he was not in close proximity when it was ranking up, he would be awarded rewards and punishments. He was not fond of the punishments as he had experienced them before.

"Are you sure, Axel? I feel like my skin is burning," said Rome.

"I am sure. Go NOW!!!" shouted Axel.

Axel knew that the ranking process would take around 10 minutes, and he could literally feel that his skin was starting to burn. Seeing no way out, he started to use the only thing to protect himself.

It was Aura.

Axel only knew 3 Aura skills: 'Aura sense', 'Aura resistance', and 'Aura pressure'. He had been trying to learn a new aura skill that would cover his whole body to boost his defense for some time.

He first used 'Aura sense' to sense the aura on his body. Then he started to spread that aura towards his whole body. He failed multiple times, but he didn't give up.

The temperature was rising each second, and he had to be here for 10 minutes. After 2 minutes, he realized that he didn't have enough aura control to spread the aura all over his body.

So, he did the next best thing. He spread his aura only to the vital parts of his body to save himself.

After a few minutes, he succeeded.

Ding!

The host has started to learn a new move 'Aura coat' Aura coat (38% learned)

---

Most of his body had started to get burnt, but he didn't want to receive another punishment. He had also realized that the punishments were getting harsher each time. He didn't want to suffer it again.

Fortunately, the process didn't take 10 minutes but only 7 minutes.

---

Ding!

Congratulations, Charizard has ranked up to pseudo-king rank

---

The minute he saw this, he immediately went and then closed the freaking door. The temperature dropped down immediately, and now it was back to normal.

Since it was inside this unknown cave, the temperature was normal around 25 degrees Celsius. After he closed down, he immediately fell down. He was starting to lose consciousness.

Rome was watching all the scene from the back. After seeing the door closed down, he ran towards Axel and took off his suit.

Most of Axel's skin had been burnt down except for the chest area, private parts, and his stomach. These were the places he had used aura coat on.

His hands and feet were black from being burnt, and most of his hair had come out from the heat.

Rome took out something and started to spray Axel's body. Since they had come to this volcanic island, they had also taken some medicines in case they got burnt.

The spray was one of those medicines. After spraying the medicine, Axel's body stopped burning, but the damage had already been done. There were multiple wounds and burnt marks on his body, and he had already fainted from the pain.

Rome didn't panic. He was a veteran. He started to put another medicine which was like a paste all over the burnt places and fed Axel a tablet. He asked Arcanine to carry Axel a bit far for safety.

He then took one of the balls from Axel's pocket and called out Mamoswine.

"Mamoswine, your trainer is hurt and burnt. Use some ice attacks around the surrounding to make it cool and also use some chunks of ice to cool his body," said Rome.

He also called out Gogoat and Venusaur to heal Axel to the best of their abilities.

That was all he could do for Axel right now. However, what he didn't know was that Axel was more hurt than he could have imagined. He was not waking up.

Finally, after another 10 minutes, the door opened, and Charizard came outside. Suddenly, a white glow started to form around Axel, and he was lifted off from the ground.

Rome didn't know what the hell was happening right now. So many things were going on. Charizard had come out looking stronger and more powerful. He could feel a sense of danger from this Pokemon.

The room inside looked like he had been melted from inside out. It was like a volcano had erupted there, but he could not feel any heat.

Axel had started to glow in white color, and he was lifted from the ground. He was flying.

What the hell was happening here?

Slowly, Axel opened his eyes, and he was brought to the ground. Rome was shocked to see that Axel had fully healed. Even his hair had come out, and he looked good as new.

Axel could see a lot of notifications, but he didn't concentrate on that. He first looked at his body and found out that he had been completely healed.

"Axel, are you okay? How are you completely healed?" asked Rome.

"I also have no idea," replied Axel.

But he knew. It was all because of the system, and when he saw the notifications, he found out what had happened.

----

Ding!

Charizard had reached pseudo-king rank.

Ding!

Since the system could not help the host to extend the rank up, rewards would be given as compensation.

Ding!

Reward 1: Host body has been completely healed.

Reward 2: Perception- It could be used on a move or ability of a Pokemon. This would lead it to have a high amount of perception and a high chance of the evolution/or mastery of the move/ability.

----

He didn't know that he would be rewarded for his efforts, but he was happy nonetheless. He would have to be hospitalized for months for his recovery, but now he was healed.

Axel wore the suit again and got ready. Even though the heat was so high, the suit had not been damaged.

Charizard had already closed off the door so the residual heat would not come out. It had controlled the heat from the room so that Axel would not be affected. That was why Rome had not felt any heat from the melted room inside.

After assuring Rome that he was really okay, he stood up and looked towards Charizard. He could see that it had got its arrogance back. It looked very strong and domineering. But after staring at it for some time, Charizard came back to its senses and started to act normal.

Axel looked at other notifications to know about Charizard's progress.
