"AAARGGHHH," Ning kept on screaming due to the intense headache he was feeling right now. A little more pain and he would go mad from it.
"Inikaka, are you alright?" Hyesi looked horrified listening to the terrifying scream his supposed god was producing. He didn't know what to do and was frozen at the place with his arms in front of him.
"Inikaka, What is going on?" the chief ca running back to Ning and Hyesi. Seeing Ning not respond he then asked Hyesi.
"What happened? I thought I told you to take him back," the chief started to get a little angry.
"I tried to. I asked Inikaka to co back with , but then he said a little more and then imdiately started screaming," Hyesi replied.
The chief looked conflicted for a second. He then shouted out loud, "Everyone, retreat."
The villagers who had been fighting suddenly stopped when they were called, and imdiately retreated.
"What's wrong, Chief?" they asked.
"Sothing is wrong with Inikaka, we need to stop the battle for today. We will take care of the monster so other day," the chief said.
"Hyesi, carry Inikaka. We are going back to the village."
Hyesi complied and took Ning on his shoulders who was still constantly gritting his teeth, complaining about his hurting head The entire way through, he kept up the gritting and even broke out in screams a couple of tis.
As they were about to reach the village, Ning gritted his teeth once more and spoke through his pain, "Take back to my house."
Hyesi stopped walking and hesitated whether to do what he said or not. On one hand, Ning seed to be really hurt. But on the other hand, he was their god. Hyesi turned around to the chief waiting for his orders instead.
"Inikaka, you are unwell. We must take you to the village to make sure you are treated well," the Chief said.
"ARGHHH… Just do what I say. T-Ta- Take to my house," he once more spoke through his pain. The chief also fell into the sa dilemma as Hyesi, but unlike Hyesi, he ca up with a choice soon.
"Alright, take Inikaka back to his house, but you stay there. If anything happens, call us imdiately," the chief said.
"Okay," Hyesi imdiately started running towards Ning's house out in the forest. Within a minute or two, he reached it and got inside. Ning's pain had lessened enough to the point where he could start focusing on other things than just pain itself.
"Lay down… on that… thing," he said with a broken sentence. Hyesi slowly lowered him down to the pile of leaves. As he was being lowered down, Ning saw the necklace on Hyesi's arm. He wanted to just leave the body right now, and go enter that necklace to be away from this pain.
'System, send there,' he thought through his hazy mind.
"Arghh… Why?" Ning shouted out loud.
"Inikaka?" Hyesi said, but didn't get a response.
"Arghh…" he didn't bother with the system anymore.
Hyesi stayed with him the whole night, throughout which he would constantly shout in pain. The pain lessened as ti went on, but it was painful enough for him to shout until the morning. Only in the morning did the pain lessened to the point he didn't have to care about it.
"Hyesi, you can go now. I'm fine," he said, sending Hyesi back to the village to practice the body cultivation in the morning. As the pain lessened to the point where he was numb to it, Ning fell asleep.
He slept soundly for nearly 20 hours and woke up at around 2 am in the middle of the night. He looked around with his drowsy eye, trying to figure out what had happened.
"Ah, that's right, I fell asleep after the pain went away," he thought. He recalled back as much as he could and asked, "You said sothing right when I started hurting with pain. Can you repeat that?" he asked.
'Ah right, I rember you ntioning sothing about being able to increase my ntal ability. So this was what you were talking about. What is the cost for it?' he asked.
'That's way too much energy required. I can't do that at the mont. What is the final way?'
