Vile Rabbit

Chapter 62 - 62. “humanity!!!”

Apexion appeared within an extremely isolated area of his spiral building. The entire area was lit up with perpetual black flames, and the walls were covered in countless glowing runes.

At the center of the area was a 10-meter-long sphere formed from black flames, inside the sphere floated a 4-meter-long sphere-shaped blood drop.

The flaming sphere collapsed, revealing the blood drop to Apexion. His starry eyes shone brightly as he stared at it intensely, and unlike before,he didn’t feel any mental pain.

He was eager to re

He wanted to get far away from the blood drop, but even then, his instincts still screamed at him. His eyes narrowed and his thoughts burned,

"!"

Suddenly, he sparkled, that word that he heard, even though he didn’t understand what it meant, it was still etched in his memory.

Countless ideas flashed in his mind, then his right paw flashed on the wall next to him, after which his spirit’s right hand flashed and seamlessly penetrated its own head.

An instant later, it pulled out a tiny 1cm shining sphere from its head. The spirit then lit the sphere up with black flames, incinerating it, after which it collapsed once again.

Apexion blanked out. An instant later, he regained consciousness. He gazed around with confusion. He immediately felt that something was off.

’What am I doing here? Wasn’t I on my way to investigate the blood drop?’

He wondered as countless thoughts floated through his mind, "I see. Part of my memory is missing." He muttered to himself in a dreadful tone. He thought of many possibilities that could have caused that, and 99 percent of them weren’t favorable to him.

His will exploded out, and he started to scan everything around him in detail.

Suddenly, he stopped and gazed at the wall not too far from him. He sensed the aura of concealment. He was familiar with this aura, for it was his own.

His eyes flashed, and his gaze penetrated the concealment. He saw what seemed to be a message or a warning carved on the wall in his handwriting, the message:

"DO NOT INVESTIGATE THE BLOOD DROP UNTIL YOU ARE STRONGER!!!!"

And right under those words was an unfamiliar word that stood out:

"HU-mani-Ty"

His eyes shone with many calculations. He somewhat deduced what happened. The only thing that puzzled him was that single word.

"Hu-mani-Ty? I have never heard that word before. What is it, the name of a creature? Place? Object?" He had no idea, he scanned his entire memories, repeatedly, but didn’t find any trace of that word.

After about a minute of thinking, he decided to put off finding it out for now. He vanished and reappeared in front of a giant door covered in runes. This was the door leading to the blood drop. He didn’t enter; a black shot from his body seamlessly penetrated the door and entered the flaming area that enveloped the blood drop, keeping it burning.

After, his eyes shone blaze! and the entire floating island lit up in black flames that only target anything with a foreign aura.

He then vanished and reappeared on his throne. The will exploded out, scanning the world. He saw that his top minions were in the process of advancing.

Then three blood drops flashed from him and formed into his blood clones.

"Wash the world with flames."

He ordered in a calm tone. Hearing this, the clones vanished. He wanted to make sure there was no trace of hidden pollution in his world. He decided to wash his entire world with flames on a monthly basis. He could never be too cautious… His eyes shone as he grabbed the air before him. As he grabbed the spirit particles in the atmosphere, they flowed into his paw and formed into a glowing black spirit crystal.

He glanced at it for a second, then opened his jaws and swallowed it. It went directly into his subconscious. His spirit grabbed it and then swallowed it. They then broke apart into tiny chunks that spread through out the spirit, strengthening it, but,

"Almost unnoticeable," he muttered. He barely felt any advancement after absorbing that crystal,

"At this rate, it will take me about hundreds of years just to advance a single minor stage." he thought, he didn’t like that it would take so long… with everything that just happen he was eager to become stronger, fast.

This rank that he decided to name spirit forging was just like the one before, divided into four stages: early, middle, late, and peak. And this rank was mostly focused on enhancing his spirit, and not his body.

He could feel that his body had reached its limit, a phase where it could not strengthen any further. He didn’t anticipate it, but he wasn’t worried because all he had to do was fix this problem when he created the next rank, simple.
