Chapter 2067 - Hummed

Chapter 2067 - Hummed TING Ting ting… Time passed by, and I bore this inhuman pain as it is struck me across my body and would create a resonance inside me that would affect every cell of me; it is affecting my own lifeforce, which is unbelievable. I was shocked when I noticed that the lifeforce could not be affected directly. The only way to affect is affecting the body and soul through which's essence it is made of, but now, it is affecting it in a very small fashion. The first stage of art is called quenching; it is a little different from metallic quenching as it is a human we are dealing with and not some metal. In this stage, it will remove my impurities and also, at the same time, fuse the power that is already present in the body into its every cell and speck of soul, so perfectly that I would be able to use every ounce of it. Despite using a large number of resources, it does not merge any of it with me, be it Forge energy or energy of any resource into my body. It might be the first stage will not give me an increase, but whoever thinks that is wrong. There will be an immense amount of increase in my strength; my body and soul itself contain a huge amount of strength, and when it merges with every cell and speck of me, I will be able to display a terrifying amount of power. Hun! I don't know how much time passed when suddenly, I received another packet of instruction from the forge. It is saying, the resources I had sent into its furnace are finishing up, and I have to add more if I want to continue. Without wasting a second, I threw away five times more resources I earlier had earlier in the burning furnace. The art itself had warned about being a resource guzzler, and for it, I had prepared a huge amount of resources. I need to make at least 10% progress; only then I will be able to manifest the hybrid energy. I am still far from making 10% progress, and till I do, I will continue practicing and throwing away as many resources it needs. Hum! Time passed by, and hundreds of beings continued to hit me with a hammer when suddenly they stopped, and it is not because of resources; there is still a huge amount of resources burning but in that giant furnace. Gurl Gurl! I did not have to wait for long as two giant fucking hooks attached to the chain came down from above, and a huge being hitting me fixed me on the hooks before sliding upside down; now I am facing down with my back in the air. TING Ting ting… The chains went back to their place, and hammering started again as if it had never stopped. The seconds of relief I had got vanished in an instant, and the inhuman pain began again and this time with much greater intensity. This time it had started to hit my head; there were a couple of tiny humanoids on my head which were hitting it with great relish. Time passed by, and the practice continued as I added more and more resources; each strike of hammer will have a great effect, and it will bring change in me. I could already feel the great changes in me; I just could not see them properly with this inhuman pain clouding my mind. The murky greyness of my giant translucent shape has also become a little lighter, and I could now see more things inside. Hun! I have reached close to the 10% but the resources I had brought also nearly ended. If I want to continue, then I will have to add the precious resources which are quite useful and would let me buy five-time resources that I had brought to be used for the art. I could not afford to stop, so gritting my teeth, I threw away all the resources I had brought before started throwing the important resources till the furnace closed with its own. I could not practice more than 10% of the 1st stage at a single time; the refining art was quite heavy, and my body needed at least a day of rest before I could start again. TING Ting ting… The hammering continued, and I watched it carefully while focusing on the rhythm of the hammers, which is the only thing that is helping me survive this inhuman pain; if I had stopped focusing it, I would start to seep into oblivion which is waiting for me in the corner. Still, I released a faint string of consciousness and brought it out of my core; ever since I had started practicing, I had been held up in my core that I did not know what was happening outside. When my consciousness seeped outside, and I saw what was happening, I couldn't help but get surprised. I saw myself covered in the three-dimensional purple mountain, which is made of runes, and every seconds hundred of formations would light and strike a specific part of my body; that part coincides with the strike of the hammer and the place it is striking. As these formations struck, a murky vapor would come out of my body; clearly, they are impurities of my body and the resources I had added. Hmmm! Time passed, and hammers kept striking me when suddenly, my body hummed, and all the hammers stopped before the beings holding them to a step back and placed the hammer into the racks. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢 The runes that had lighted up the whole forge had also started to get dimmed till they disappeared, just like when the forge before I had added the resources into the furnace. I had finished 10% of quenching and thus gained the hybrid energy which I could sense in every part of me; the humming of my body was a sign of that.
