"Gugh!!"
As the viscous blood like liquid entered his body, pain exploded from every nerve. His mind blanked. Burning pain similar to being fried alive assaulted him.
He felt like a volcano had been poured into his bloodstream, the sensation was outlandish and went beyond any endurance that a mortal could take.
The suffering was in a whole different realm. He wanted to scream his throat out; however, it was already filled with blood.
He couldn’t breathe, he couldn’t see, he was in this ocean of blood where the only thing he could do was twist and twitch powerlessly.
Slowly, by slowly, his vision started disappearing within a red haze. The world outside receded until only the violent rhythm of his heartbeat was the only thing he could hear.
Within his body, sothing magnificent and horrific was taking place. Kevin’s veins illuminated from within, as new blood entered his system, his old blood boiled, and burned out of existence.
His bones followed next, his entire skeleton lted into fiery dust.
One could imagine the agony. However, it did not stop there; he felt like an invisible force was working on his body.
Under the unbelievable powers of the invisible force, new bones ford inside him, sculpted from the very sa molten crimson blood that dissolved his bones.
Then, just as he thought it was over, the process repeated again.
SNAP...
The new bones broke apart, lted, and re-ford once more, molded and reforged endlessly under the corrosive blessing of the blood.
It was a cycle of annihilation and creation. Death and renewal, repeated without rcy.
"Aaaarggghhh!!!"
Kevin convulsed, his body distorted disturbingly. Veins bulged on his skin, the molten lava flowing inside searing it with each passing second.
Soon, they looked like glowing red cracks on scorched earth.
Following the cycle of destruction and recreation, new veins appeared beneath the surface of the old ones which completely disintegrated after a few seconds. If the heat within his blood felt like a volcano, then his veins were like rivers of magma trying to contain it.
His veins lted down again and again, reforming brand new, stronger than before. Be that may, every ti the cycle of destruction continued, it annihilated the weak human core he once possessed.
Kevin’s skin visibly darkened, turning into a dark black color like burnt wood. Steam hissed out of his body, and the sll of burning flesh mixed with iron was palpable.
The outside of his body was a complete ss, but so were his insides. His organs lted into a thick slurry. Then, slowly under the transformative power of the blood, it reshaped into new forms that while still retaining so similarities to the human organs, were distinctively different.
His heart had long stopped, lted down by the volcanic blood. His muscles, burned by the extre heat of the blood, tore apart. The new ones ford in place of them, fibres that glowed red and gold.
As they knitted back together to form a complete whole, a powerful and terrifying power surged within them.
By all ans, he should be dead by now. However, as if guided by so invisible will, Kevin’s fragile existence refused to extinguish.
Each ti he hovered on the brink of life and death, the thread that represented his life about to snap, sothing within the crimson torrent would pull him back, preserving the faintest spark of vitality.
.
The blood that poured inside his body carried an impossible duality; its essence could annihilate a human in an instant, yet it also contained an equal and opposite force of creation.
Destruction and rebirth existed as one within the magma blood. It indeed destroyed his body, but it recreated him again. Each ti stronger, better, and less human than before.
There were monts his consciousness nearly slipped, hovering between disorientation and lucidity. He felt his mind slowly floating away sowhere, and before he knew it, he was in this endless blood red space.
For a second, he felt like déjà vu. The feeling was familiar to him; he had seen a similar space before, where he t the primordius dragon. Funnily enough, both tis he entered this plane, he was on the verge of death.
Anyway, it looked like this space was different. There was no one here, only endless emptiness and the blood red pool, no, ocean underneath him.
Just then, he saw sothing stirring deep within the ocean.
As the thing was incredibly deep, it was hard to make out what it was. However, as it slowly approached closer, it cast a titanic shadow underneath him.
Whatever it was, it was enormous.
Its movent was slow, like a mountain moving beneath the ocean’s surface. A dark red light shimred over the waves each ti it stirred, illuminating a silhouette so massive that it stretched beyond sight.
At the sa ti as the silhouette approached closer, the crimson world began to rumble.
The vast ocean began to churn; whirlpools began to form, and massive waves surged from over the horizon.
SPLASH...
Then, with a splash, the entire sea gushed upward, waves reaching into the air like the eruption of a volcano.
The shockwave alone would’ve been enough to flatten a city, yet Kevin stood in his place. For so reason, despite the chaos, the waves never swallowed him.
The storm subsided as quickly as it began. The world stilled again, and peace returned, or so he thought.
Kevin barely had ti to catch his breath when he noticed sothing imnse reflected on the surface of the red ocean now.
The creature was titanic, so massive that Kevin felt smaller than a speck of dust before it. Gold and crimson scales dotted its body; each one the size of a house.
From the faint gaps in its scales, bright magma dripped down. However, in front of that indestructible body and scales, even the lava was unable to do anything.
Great wings protruded out of its shoulders, stretching across the ocean expanse until they blotted out the entire thing. It’s large fra was majestic to behold and made all lifeforms inherently bow down before it.
