Chapter 112: Survive
Chapter 112: Survive
Noa and Malon were freed by Tyr's Flame Breath. After that, they had a grand reunion, with tears and hugs and all those types of shenanigans. The tears were only from Hanzo by the way...
After all of that, the three sat around Tyr in the middle of the ice chamber. Now, Noa and Malon were crying, as they heard the news of Tyr.
Tyr shook his head, "Is this some sort of demonic ritual?" He questioned, seeing as everyone was sitting around him and bawling.
"You're gonna die~~!" Noa exclaimed, tears flailing out of her eyes.
"Jeez... nihilistic much?" Tyr chuckled.
"You were a great guy!" Malon exclaimed at that moment.
Hanzo remained quiet, simply shaking his head.
"Listen to me!" Tyr exclaimed at that moment, "Just do me a favor... all of you, and just trust me. I won't die." Tyr finally became more serious.
The others stopped their incessant wailing and focused more closely on his words.
"But," Noa began to say, "How can you be so sure?"
"Im not sure..." Tyr stared forward with determination, "If I were to use percentages like Hanzo, it has maybe a 3% chance of working. But that all depends on me."
Malon and Noa paused for a moment... and then began to wail with tears again.
Hanzo shook his head on seeing this, "Aiyaiyai... these two are useless..." He exclaimed.
"You were crying like them a minute ago too," Tyr said in a joking way.
Hanzo paused, ignoring him, "Anyways... what's this big solution you have to boost your survival chances by a couple of rabbit turds worth of percentages?"
"It has something to do with an ability of mine."
"Hmm? Your Ancestral Abilitity?"
"No... one of my spells..." He stared into Hanzo's eyes, "You all... rest at Ovalantis until im done. Im sure it won't take more than a couple days."
Hanzo squinted his eyes, "Tyr... don't you dare die from something like this. I've sacrificed a lot due to you... and I won't ever forgive you if you throw it all away." He was completely serious in his tone this time, disengaging from all the jokes.
Tyr didn't say anything, simply giving him a firm nod.
"Come on, you morons!" Hanzo exclaimed, picking both Malon and Noa up on his flying jetski.
He gave Tyr one last glance before zipping his way out of the prison room and further.
Tyr saw them go and continued looking at the hall. He understood that that might have been the last time he would see them.
"I won't die." He clutched his fists. After that, he crossed his leg, sitting in a meditative position before closing his eyes.
He placed the bottom of his palms on his lap and touched the tip of his longest fingers and also his thumb together.
After taking in a deep breath, he undid his Full Golden Body. In a matter of milliseconds, the small golden flame on his glabella dispersed into nothing.
...
*BOOM*
It was like a bomb had exploded inside of his organs out of nowhere. The force was horrifyingly intense. The pain was excruciating, and the feeling was unfathomably overwhelming.
It was as though 10 mountains the size of Hua had summoned inside of his core all at once, threatening to break all the bones in his body.
However, before it continued any longer, Tyr gritted his teeth and fought through the pain: 'Reverse!'
*BOOOM*
All of the force and pressure on his Aura Core was suddenly thrust outwards in all directions.
The Aura unleashed from Tyr's body slammed into the walls of the ice chamber and sent quaking tremors through the entire structure.
However, due to the durable nature of the ice, there wasn't even a scratch of damage.
'I can use it once per minute now since I've gotten stronger... I just have to hold out until then.'
After a couple seconds, the pain and immense pressure began to crash Tyr like a tsunami.
'Reverse.'
*BOOM*
Minutes passed, as Tyr continued to use his ability to ward off as much damage as possible.
'Reverse.'
*BOOM*
'Reverse.'
*BOOM*
Minutes turned to hours, as Tyr continued using his ability through the night.
'Reverse.'
'Reverse.'
'Reverse.'
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
***
Eventually, Tyr's first estimation of a couple of days was extended. After an entire week of sitting there in excruciating pain, boredom, pressure, and everything else you could think of, Tyr finally mused his last 'Reverse.'
*BOOM*
The pressure no longer assaulted his Aura Core. Before he could even open his eyes, he fell backward onto the ice floor.
He panted heavily, his skin torn up and cracked. He was bleeding from head to toe, and nearly deceased by this point.
[Vitality: 6/125]
Several bones in his body had been cracked and broken into pieces. Tendons, muscles, and ligaments ripped apart.
His Aura Core was also in extremely rough shape, nearly about to shatter.
However, Tyr didn't care about this excruciating pain right now. He had gone through a week of pain like this and worse... he had gotten used to it by now.
Instead, he smiled through his bloody gums.
"Haha..." His low voice barely whipped a laugh, "I..." He sounded like a dying old man, barely understanding with crushed vocal cords, "I will not die."
With that, he slowly opened his eyes.
Standing over him was a man with his hands crossed and a nonchalant expression.
"You really had to use my chamber for your shit, didn't you? Well... at least you survived. I truly didn't think you would have come out of Tarnish. Well done, young blood. You may be more of a prodigy than I first estimated."
Tyr stared at the man for a few seconds after he heard this. He squinted his eyes, wanting the blurriness to fade.
After a couple of seconds of pausing, Tyr finally saw what the man looked like and said: "Who..."
The man furrowed his brows at that moment, attempting to understand what Tyr was going to say.
"... the fuck are you?"
