The first wave of this energy reached my body. The mont it touched my skin, I felt like thousands upon thousands of needles kept pricking deeply without any rcy.
But this was nothing at all compared to the torture and agony I faced the next monts. As more energy arrived, my body started to absorb these.
The plan was to absorb and direct them towards my dantian, the sa way I did with the bones from before.
However when the energy passed through my skin, it started to move according to its own will.
I tried to force them towards my dantian like I used to do, but that didn’t yield any result at all. This energy acted berserk, not responding to any attempt of mine.
“It’s… trying to get control over my body!!!” that’s what I felt when looking at the movents of this energy inside my body. Once it entered, it started to roam around, surrounding every single part and organ of mine.
If I left it to do whatever the hell it wanted, then I might even lose control over my body.
“Not without a fight,” I roared, releasing all the energy that I was already absorbing from the bones and instead of letting them flow outside my left arm, I directed them towards my body.
And a big fight erupted between the two energies, one that made feel pain like never before.
It was like soone was holding a dull knife, cutting through my body parts in a slow and vicious way. Every part of my body started to grow numb fast, giving an instant scare as I started to feel my head dizzy.
This… This couldn’t keep going on… Not like this…
I knew I had little ti to act, and I had no ti to even think about how to solve this. So I followed my instincts and rushed my energy out, not to clash against this dark energy but to surround and try to control it.
Even if they got all over my body, as long as they were contained with my energy, they would stop hurting .
In the first few seconds of doing this, nothing new happened. I was this close from giving up until I started to notice a change.
The clash between the two energies changed from being a direct flight into calmly circulating together. It wasn’t that calm actually, but compared to before it was indeed.
And when that happened, the pain caused by this energy started to go south and slowly faded away. At the sa ti I noticed that the energy of mine was getting stronger and more abundant, giving the impression that it was turning part of the dark energy successfully into mine.
But the rate of such conversion was still low. More dark energy gushed at , and at this mont they couldn’t get into my body, only hanging around my body.
This created a big typhoon of dark energy that surrounded and hid within. I had to act, I had to find a way to turn these energies faster.
But when I tried to push my energy to clash with this dark energy, the old pain returned so I had to stop.
“This… Won’t work,” I muttered in dejected tone while the entire world around turned all pitch black. The dark energy kept gathering around my body, making feel I was doing nothing at all here.
“Screw it! I have to store these in my shadow world, so I’ll just send them with my energy surrounding it,” As I lost any hope to change this situation, I started to consider risking everything.
Even if I ended up losing much of this dark energy, at least I’d gain a little of it. Without delaying any further, I controlled my energy circulating around the dark one, and pushed the two through my ridians at both feet.
Once they reached there, they vanished like getting sucked by a hidden force. I had no ti to see what was going on in my shadow world. After all, once the dark energy inside my body decreased by a noticeable chunk, a new wave of energy penetrated directly through my skin.
This new wave tried to act the sa way the previous one did. But I was much prepared this ti. The mont they entered, they got surrounded fast with energy absorbed from the bones and branded with my energy through my dantian, and then all were pushed through ridians of my feet.
I had no ti to rest, or even breath. I kept doing this for an unknown period of ti. I felt like I was pushing a big rock up the mountain. One single pause would cost everything, forcing back to the bottom once more.
So I never dared to even shift my attention away. Every ti I moved the dark energy with my silver white through my feet to the shadow world, a new amount entered and needed to deal with them.
It looked like an endless loop, a vicious circle, where the dark energy had no limit and I had to keep myself alert and responsive all the ti.
After an unknown period of ti, I felt the dark energy coming from outside started to be scarcer. At first this didn’t show much difference, but later on it beca apparent to .
The dark energy… I was already so close to consuming it.
At this mont I never felt regret about losing any of this dark energy. I just realised I bit what I couldn’t chew. So even if I lost most of this energy, this wasn’t a bad thing in the end.
“Phew… It’s done!” After long minutes of struggling with the weakening dark energy, the influx of this energy ceased at last. And I could finally heave a breath of relief.
*Thud!*
Without any surprise, my body fell on my knees, feeling all tired and exhausted. I didn’t deplete much of my energy at all during this process. In fact I suspected that my energy got slightly stronger and was closer to upgrading to the next level.
