The Bored Immortal

Chapter 290 - Feeling The Odic Force

Mark eagerly looked on as he saw the cat's body twitching as well after the rat got off its body, feeling full after feeding on its blood. Its body now had red veins sticking out from underneath and overall it looked quite frightening for a rat.

The rat seemed in an even more frenzied state as if getting a taste of blood only made it even more hungry for more. But the glass it was in was strong as bulletproof glass, and so it had no choice but to stay inside and keep scratching the glass in hopes of clawing its way out.

However, Mark was ignoring the rat but was instead focusing on the supposedly dead cat. After such a vicious and bloody attack from the rat to its neck, how could it possibly survive?

A few minutes passed when the cat's body stopped twitching and jerking all of a sudden. And the next moment, it suddenly jumped back to its feet!

However, its eyes were a bright eerie red, and it seemed to be continuously sniffing while its bloodied mouth was baring its fangs in a wild manner. Hoarse hisses were continuously being let out from the back of its throat as it also barged towards the glass facing Mark but banged its head against it as a small crack appeared.

"How impressive…I guess the trials weren't just one-time luck. Haa…I wonder how the world would think if they could see dead people coming alive. Hmm…this is what people say that the bizarre things they show in movies might be stories from the future. Qovid-19 will be like a saint to people when they see this, haha," Mark couldn't help but talk to himself in anticipation for the future.

Meanwhile, just a few minutes ago, it was almost evening when Viktor was sitting on the college roof and meditating to feel the Odic Force in his body. He had been following the technique Umilia taught him every day but even still now, he wasn't making any progress, to which he had no idea why.

When he asked Umilia about it, she said to wait at least three months while trying again and again. She already had told him that him not being aware of it for all these centuries could be one of the biggest problems.

Viktor's mind was in a very focused state as he tried to feel the odic force around him….the energy from nature that was surrounding him and present everywhere.

'Come on, Viktor. Feel the fucking energy!' Viktor thought with a frustrated expression, but then he remembered Umilia's advice which he had glossed over, and that was to make sure his mind becomes perfectly in sync with the odic force and be one with it.

And that was to imagine himself as a part of nature itself and not a separate entity. If he becomes a part of it, surely he can feel the rest of it as well theoretically.

So Viktor decided to calm himself down as he let his mind and body completely relax and simply said to himself that he was no longer a person or a separate entity but a part of nature itself, including his body and mind.

He kept saying this to himself till he started to feel like he was really a part of nature, and not long after, he felt the air gently caressing his skin like a lover, making him feel a soothing yet inexplicable sensation. But on second thought, he felt that it was not just the air but the odic force that was trying to interact with him, touching him as if it was acknowledging him or more like greeting him after a long reunion.

And this made his blood quiver energetically as if it found its long-lost lover, but in reality, Viktor could feel the same soothing sensation within his body as well, making him realize that the odic force was always present in his body, but he just didn't know it.

Whenever he switches to being a vampire or werewolf, his body instinctively or unconsciously uses odic force to undergo the necessary changes.

And now, he couldn't help but feel happy that he could finally feel the mysterious magical energy flowing through his veins and could also feel the sensation of gaining more control over his own body and mind.

The energy he was feeling outside was something called Odic Field, as he remembered Umilia describing it to him.

But suddenly, he felt an ominous disturbance in the odic field coming from below where he was sitting, and when he tried to focus on this disturbance to find out what was causing it, he suddenly lost it.

It was as if the disturbance never took place.

"What the hell was that…" Viktor opened his eyes as he slowly mumbled with a confused expression while looking around him. For some reason, what he felt a few seconds before, gave him a very bad feeling though he couldn't understand what it was.

He closed his eyes and tried to see if he could feel that disturbance again but couldn't, no matter how hard he tried to focus.

"Haa…whatever…" Viktor got up as he felt that today was the first time he made great progress and couldn't wait to break the news to Umilia.

He decided to go down and then go to the delivery station after some time.

Meanwhile, Mark, who observed enough from his little experiment in the darkroom, took a syringe with a silver liquid in it and mumbled as he brought it over to the top of the glass, "Now rest in peace, my little friends. You both have opened the gates to something extraordinary."

*HISSS!*

The cat ferociously hissed as it began to claw in the air as if trying to claw his hand, but Mark's hand was quick and swift as he made a quick jab on its body and even the wild rat beside it.. Within moments both of them stopped moving and succumbed to the glass, lifelessly lying on it.
