Chapter 271 Awakening
ZAP!
ZAP!
After Jane was pulled into the door, the door closed and disappeared into thin air, leaving Rudy dumbfounded in the middle of nowhere.
ZAP!
Rudy's body was undergoing a strange phenomenon. With every heartbeat, his body was emitting lightning sparks that changed colors every second. From black to white and red to blue.
Not only that, his hair color was changing back and forth from white to black. It was as though his powers were leaking through his body. The magic spell cast on the area could no longer hold off his powers. It was struggling, and so were Rudy's powers.
Rudy wasn't aware of the changes occurring in his body as he was dazed by what had just happened.
The floor he was standing on had started cracking, and the cracks were spreading all across the area.
'Calm down, Rudy. You need to stay calm and use your mind.'
Rudy recalled how similar things had happened when he saved Angelica from the tunnel, where he passed out and woke up later in the hospital.
He didn't want the same thing to happen again. After all, he hadn't saved Jane yet. If his emotions went wild and his powers went berserk, that would do him more bad than good.
However, even after trying to calm himself down, he couldn't stay calm.
His powers were already out of control, and if it wasn't for the magic spell, everything around him would have been razed already. Even the clothes he was wearing had begun shredding slowly.
FWIP! PWIP!
With a sharp gushing noise, the passage was lit up by a blue fire torch on both sides. One by one, all the torches lit up and revealed a long yet narrow tunnel-like path in front of Rudy.
"I hate three things…"
Rudy slowly started walking forward with the unbearable pain he was feeling throughout his body. He still had super strength, but he had lost his healing ability. Now that his powers were leaking, they were ripping apart every cell of his body from the inside.
His body was able to endure the overload, but it was a matter of time before his powers broke through the barriers. Still, his powers that were leaking were also a limited and weakened version of what had happened in the abandoned tunnel.
As Rudy walked, the ground and the surroundings were breaking apart with every step. But the blue fire from the torches remained still.
"First, When I get blamed for something I haven't done."
ZAP! ZAP!
"Second, When I try my best at something and still fail miserably."
ZAP! ZAP!
"Third, when I am forced to go against my morals and ideals."
ZI-ZAP!
Rudy's powers had overwhelmed the magic spell, and more of his powers were leaking out. The lightning sparks emitting from his body increased, and his hair stayed white longer than before.
Everything around him was getting razed, almost as though he was a walking forcefield pushing everything away from his way.
Even the blue fire from the torches had now started swaying erratically.
After walking through the passage— while bearing the intense pain of his cells ripping apart from the inside— he met a dead end.
Since the torches kept lighting up as he walked, he assumed it was leading him to Jane or somewhere that could give him clues to reach Jane. But he shouldn't have expected that.
He stood there in silence with a dazed expression on his face. He cleared his head from all the thoughts and thought about only one thing; rage.
Since his emotions amplified his powers, why was he trying to hold them back? Why was he trying to calm down? Wouldn't it have been better if he let himself be consumed by rage and let his powers do everything for him?
Why walk when you can run? Why run when you can fly? Why fly when you can teleport? Why worry about solving a problem when he can wipe it out of existence? Why was he trying so hard if he could just 'wish' to get out of there?
All those questions were arising in Rudy's mind.
ZAP!
The lightning sparks that were emitting from Rudy's body suddenly stopped, and so did his hair color change.
His upper body drooped and hung by the support of his spine. His eyes were open, but they looked lifeless, dead.
The blue fire from the torches started flickering crazily as they constantly tried to stay still. But with a sharp zapping noise cursed through the passage, making it sound like a howl that douted the entire passage dark.
It was pitch black, almost resembling the void.
ZAP!
Once again, the lightning sparks began emitting from Rudy's body, but they were unlike before. His hair turned white and even grew in length that stopped by his waist. His eyes had no colors, and his eye sockets had turned dark as an abyss.
His clothes had been shredded into pieces, but they still covered his body. The lightning sparks eventually began to raze everything around him and rendered a long dragon-like shape.
"Vamoose," he uttered.
Everything around him shattered. No, it wasn't his surroundings, but the very fabric of reality, or one would call it dimension. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered.
CRACK! CRACK!
The cracks caused a shattering sound just like glass would, and they started overlapping with each other. The world was trying to fix itself from the anomaly, but it was breaking a lot faster than that.
With a loud clunk noise, everything around him shattered, and he found himself standing on top of a massive circular pedestal that was hovering in the middle of nowhere.
He glanced around and saw numerous colossal statues standing surrounding the pedestal, and they all were wearing cloaks with a weapon in their hand. Some were carrying a scythe, some staff, some spears, some wands, some swords, some arrows, some chains, and shackles. But out of them, one was wearing a crown on its head.
Furthermore, their bodies were skeletons under the cloak, and the skull was visible under the hood. But they seemed inanimate with no sign of life in them.
However, Rudy wasn't buying that. He spread his arms in the air and uttered "Begone!" as everything around him turned into ashes.
