Chapter 61 Dragon Heart (Part III)



[Charles POV]

Waking up, I felt drowsy. My head was aching once I stood up. I felt more energetic than usual.

The headache started to subside, and I noticed that the five times gravity had affected me less. I couldn't remember much of the pain, but I felt it was worth it.

I was not a masochist, but the energy I felt inside me was better than sex. I felt like I could run for days and wouldn't get tired.

Now that I'm energized, I want to start with the body enhancement capsule. Leaving the door of my room was the first time I could fully walk around the house. Like my house, this place was ten times the size.

"It's good to see you awake. Would you like to start with your training?"

Agnus then teleported right in front of me. It was convenient that he could freely travel around. I wish I could do the same.

"I would. I never felt this much energy before."

"Then we'll begin the surgery after you use the body enhancement capsule."

We then teleported back to the waterfall. This time I had a fifth-rank body enhancement capsule. It wouldn't be as painful as yesterday, but it would still be irritating.

Without wasting time, I got the capsule inside of me and began waiting for it out.

Ten hours had passed, and the energy I had was nowhere to be seen. Agnus, who saw that my training was over, walked toward me.

"Are you ready for your surgery?"

"I don't think I'm. The body enhancement sapped my energy. Won't it be dangerous for me in this state?"

"You should recover all your energy once you drink your mana vial."

Honestly, I had forgotten about the mana vial that I had obtained. With how many negative emotions I have been feeling, my mind wouldn't allow me to overthink.

Taking the vial out of my watch, I drank it and felt the dose of energy coming back to me. I never knew mana could do this.

My body was strong enough now to handle the mana vial--the increase of my maximum time for my tangibility to five times.

"You seem ready now."

Agnus then teleported us to a different room. Unlike the waterfall, I was placed in a medical room this time. Agnus, the water dragon, had used his magic to dry me up.

Now wet-free, I placed myself on the medical bed. I was nervous about how this operation would go.

"Want me to get some numbing drugs for you?"

"Does it help?"

"Only a little, but I thought I should offer something to calm your nerves."

"..."

That only earned my irk. Agnus shrugged it off and continued. He took the purple heart out, and the connection between me and the heart was felt.

"This will be gruesome. If I could knock you unconscious, I would like to, but you would die if that happens."

"Are you ready?"

Agnus looked at me seriously, waiting for my answer. I have endured a lot to go through this. I'm not afraid of pain. But going through more wasn't something I was willing to do.

But I'm telling myself that this would probably be the last thing I would do. Taking every ounce of courage I had left, I told Agnus to begin.

"I'm ready."

Without saying anything else, Agnus took the heart and inserted it inside of me. The connection between the heart and my body has begun to form. My old heart was replaced immediately by the heart of the dragon.

Even though Agnus had said, the process should be painful. It had a weird feeling, but it certainly wasn't painful.

Agnus was shocked to see my face calm. This was the first time I saw his composer break. It must be shocking that I didn't feel pain. Whatever it is, that is a relief.

[Skill Level Up]

[Target Of Misfortune is now at the fifth level]

[Skill Level Up]

[Target Of Misfortune is now at the sixth level]

[Target Of Misfortune: Rank EX (Level: 6)]: This allows the skill to cause misfortune upon the desired user. It can't be removed unless the caster allows it to do so. It could only be used if the target is within 5000 kilometers of you. You can now envision the misfortune of a target.

Wow... The heart did wonders. My skill has increased by two levels. I could now kill anyone on the continent I was in.

"You have a natural affinity with curses. Do you have any skills relating to them?"

"I do, but I would rather you not ask what it is in detail."

Agnus had some idea what my skill was. I would rather not talk about it with anyone. Some already knew my skill, and I didn't want more.

"Well then. I congratulate you. Not only did you obtain a dragon heart, but one with your affinity."

"Even if you don't feel pain. Your body will feel different."

The water dragon teleported me again. I had lost how many times he had done so. I was now in an enclosed white box with a punching bag.

"Test your current capabilities. You have improved a lot in these two days."

After taking the first few steps, my body began to tumble, and I fell. It was embarrassing to know that Agnus was behind me.

"You feel it, right? Your control over your body is almost non-existent."

With how much power up I gained over this past month. I was surprised at how well I could adapt. But now that I had gained too much, I couldn't control my body.

"My goal here is to adjust to my current body, right?"

"Spot on. I have a business to attend to, so I will see you in a day. With your body, you won't feel hungry."

Agnus then left without saying anything else. Now that I have all the time, I need to relearn everything. This day would be a long one.
