Chapter 153: CHAPTER 153 – Code Red!
Chapter 153: CHAPTER 153 – Code Red!
Alex could feel his body hungrily absorbing mana from the surroundings.
Just as he attached the final string of the mana vein, he could feel his mana being circulated inside of them, but the main point was that this time they were not moving because Alex was burning his mana and making them move.
They were moving because that's how they function.
But then the problem was the amount of mana.
The amount of mana needed to be circulated inside the mana veins was vast as it was all over the body.
So, the first thing that happens after the process of having one's mana veins attached and functioning is filling them up with mana.
The mana suction is so high even for a normal person that it sucks mana from anything and everything that contains mana and is in the surroundings of the one breaking through.
But that was for normal people, for Alex it would be higher as he had higher mana due to him having the celestial incubus bloodline.
[Control the mana, right now.]
"Hm."
So, when Alex heard Sophia saying that, he nodded and quickly got to work, but then he realized that he had underestimated his own powers.
The suction of mana created by his body was so strong that it was taking him time to reign it in or have it under control.
[If you don't do it faster, then Alice, Ann, and Noctura might be sucked out of mana.]
Just then Alex heard Sophia's voice again and his eyes widened.
'Shit!'
Alex cursed as he realized that he was still in the house.
By repeatedly doing the same thing for hours, Alex forgot where he was.
He didn't want to see Alice, Ann, and Noctura being sucked out of all the mana in their bodies, after all, it had some bad effects.
If a person uses all of their mana, to the last particle of it, or has it forcibly taken away, they will fall unconscious.
But it doesn't end there as once they wake up after their mana pool has been filled up again after a while, they feel a searing pain inside of their body.
Like their body is being strangled from the inside.
Just like how one's body pains when they overwork, the mana does the same, just a lot worse.
The pain is so bad that almost every raider would prefer dying over it.
'STOP!' Alex commanded as he spread his hands out while sitting on the floor cross-legged.
His muscles tightened as he clenched his fist, using all of his will to reign in the suction force, and it happened.
All the mana that was being sucked into his body stopped, but then Sophia hurriedly spoke.
[Don't stop it, just minimize the intake by 100 times.]
Listening to her hurried tone, Alex knew that it was probably for the good if he listened to her and he did that.
Alex could see Alice, Ann, and Noctura who were standing in the hall room with a battle-ready stance.
"Don't worry, it was me," Alex spoke lightly, but to Alice, Ann, and Noctura it was loud and clear as Alex was using his upgraded mana control to transmit the voice through the air.
Alex could see them sighing as they shook their heads before they sat back like nothing happened.
'These guys...' Alex just shook his head with a light smile as he saw the change in their attitude.
[Now you just need to wait till the mana veins in your body absorb as much mana as they want from nature, and then you will finally be able to break the world's limit.]
"All right," Alex spoke as he closed his eyes again and looked inside himself.
He observed the whole process happening, from the mana particles entering the mana veins, then the particles cycling through his body, rejuvenating each and every cell that died in between the cycles.
Slowly seconds became minutes and without Alex's knowledge, his body started levitating.
He was still engrossed in observing the process.
Alex kept looking at the mana particles, how they entered his body, how they cycled through his body, and then how they disappeared into nothingness.
He found it intriguing to watch the whole life cycle of the mana particle, but then suddenly his mind shifted to a worm.
The worm struggled to come out of the ground until it finally did and then started to crawl in a particular direction.
"What is life?"
Just then, Alex heard a strange voice in his head, or more like it was his own voice but a bit different.
But he didn't answer he just continued to look at the worm.
The worm met a group of other worms, and then it left the group and crawled alone.
The worm ate the nutrients in the soil and it excreted the same.
"It is a process of giving and taking."
The voice continued, but Alex ignored it again.
The worm then excreted what it considered waste from its body, but it turned out to be useful for the soil.
"If someone takes something, they have to give it back in some way."
Alex was not even listening to the voice now.
He didn't know what was happening, but he didn't feel anything bad from it, rather, he felt that this place was not unknown to him.
Alex looked back at the worm, but just then in a flash, it was eaten by a frog that jumped out from the bushes in front of it.
"If you are given a life, then it will be taken back in due time."
The frog then jumped into the pond that was close by and started swimming.
Alex watched this all with rapt attention, but by now Sophia noticed what was going on.
She was surprised when she saw Alex's body start levitating, and that too when he was just some seconds away from the completion of the process.
[Alex.
Alex.
Alex!
Alex!!
ALEX!!]
Sophia tried calling for him, but he wouldn't reply, so she spoke.
[Requesting emergency access to the view of the host.]
She spoke and the system that had never spoken since the time Sophia had been active, spoke.
[Access granted.]
That was all the mechanical voice responded with but Sophia quickly waved her hand and a screen appeared in front of her, showing her what Alex was seeing.
But her eyes widened when she looked into what Alex was seeing.
{Shit! Shit! Shit!
It's too early for that!! Way too early!!
Why the hell did you not limit your talent as well, you monster!!}
Sophia screamed in fright.
Yes, fright. She was frightened or even scared of something.
[Code Red! Eject the host from the ******* Space, right now!!]
Sophia hurriedly spoke as she saw the frog was about to be eaten by a snake.
There was a short silence as the system was verifying something.
[Code Red confirmed.
Host ejected from the ******* Space.]
The emotionless and genderless voice of the system was heard before it went silent.
{Phew….}
Sophia sighed inwardly.
{He gets bored for a while and this happens, I don't want to imagine a time when he doesn't have anything to do anymore….} Sophia muttered to herself.
{I guess I need to think of something about it as well...}
