All, One, Everything.

Chapter 35: Soleis Ore

Preview: "Seems like it won't be easy this time either" muttering softly as he munched on a heart floating on the surface of the magma pool.

Sounds of scuttling echoed, breaking the silence and dark atmosphere.

"Master!! Are you okay??" Pendra asks in a hurry and with a voice filled with concern.

The gigantic and dark tree filled with black sunflowers moved its trunk and branches to "face" the tiny centipede.

"Yes, I am okay." All kinds of voices overlapped and entered Pendra's mind, almost making him pass out. The voices ranged from low to high, old to young, hoarse to clear. It was as though a cacophony of voices, one that is cursed directly flooded his mind.

Thankfully, perhaps due to him being used to it, or his master possessing some control over his soul, he survived.

"That's great to hear! What about Yhaele?" Pendra's whole body was shaking as he asked due to the pressure and headache brought to him by his master.

"I'm.. still.. Alive.." a weak voice sounded from behind Sunirae like a candle about to die out.

"Good for you. Clack. You almost killed us all." I reply as the headache continues to assault my brain. What the hell happened to master?? I knew she was strange and strong from being able to use magic back then, but what is this!? What is this monstrosity looming before us?!

I pretend to act calm and scoff at Yhaele when I'm actually breaking down internally. This is too scary. My master is too scary. Especially those spiraling patterns that swirl as though it's going to devour me. I'm about to cry and pass out here!

A branch filled with dark reddish leaves moves towards Yhaele, startling Yhaele who was sprawled on the ground filled with injuries. Yhaele almost died from fright before realizing it was Sunirae.

What is this freak thinking of doing now? He wondered in fear as the branch crept closer to him, enlarging in his vision. The tip of the branch slowly glowed with a soft white light. Pretty. Thought he before he started screaming his heart out.

"AAAH! WHAT IS THIS?? YOU ARE KILLING ME!!" Pain, searing pain tore his being as the part of his body touched by the branch directly melted and disintegrated into thin air. The beautiful sight he admired was no longer so beautiful as the pain assaulted him, causing him to squirm in pain and torment. The flowing magma in the background accentuated his suffering as they continued filling the hole, creeping towards them.

Is this how I will die again? Why is this so much more painful than the last.. At least I don't have any memories of how I died and could even be described as sudden but painless. But this.. Aren't you just torturing me to death?? Yhaele was crying curses and complaining in his mind as his body squirmed and twitches constantly.

Thankfully, it didn't last long as Sunirae also realized that Yhaele was in pain. "Ah, I thought it'd work on you because I recovered from it." Her branches retracted and she changed the element coursing through them, switching to Darkness.

Yhaele no longer screamed and squirmed in pain as his being felt like ascending. It was as though he was on cloud nine and the pleasure coursed through his veins and brain. What the f*ck. First you bring me endless pain and suddenly, you make me feel so comfortable that it's uncomfortable. The sudden switch of the situation left him awkward and uncomfortable, it was as though he was walking on a desert and suddenly found himself in a freezing situation on his next step.

Although he felt uncomfortable about it, his wounds were healing at a visible rate and the injuries previously accumulated were fading as though they didn't even exist. The rate of his recovery was insane and he could only express words like what inside his mind. The situation was beyond his understanding.
