  Hummed!

  The core hummed, and the next moment; It started to spin even faster as it did; it began to absorb even more energy, and the quantity of energy increased by a second at a much higher speed than before.

  The energy had reached such high density that I had to use every bit of my will to breathe a little; though I could remain without breathing for more than an hour, I like to continue breathing. I don't know when the breathing might stop, and I would need than time then.

  Hun!

  I was just focusing on my breathing while watching my core which is now spinning very fast, when I suddenly got a lacerating feeling all over my body; it is especially painful at my heart.

  I panicked for a moment seeing this unpredictable scenario appearing before I suddenly noticed something. Noticing it, the panic in my eyes turned to a smile; it was the best news I could hope to gain.

  The thing that is giving me the pain is energy; the sphere is somehow attracting the energies from deep inside the rift, which is much more powerful than the energies they are spewing out; it is good news, but there is some bad news mix in it, it might turn worse.

  Energy is very powerful, and I could not remain unscathed even with my powerful body. This new powerful energy is injuring me; currently, I am fine, but as its density increase, it will start to harm me, and there is nothing I will be able to do against it.

  I am concentrating all my defenses on the curse, and unless this energy is on the verge of taking my life, I will suffer any injury it will give me.

  With everything going right, I have not forgotten about the biggest danger, especially when I have come close to achieving my goal. So, unless I am hanging by a thread, I will not use those specially prepared defenses.

  I just hope that the councilwomen Marla and Councilman Finn are fine; the formation I had to design was to protect them and me from the danger of the rifts, and that includes the powerful energies, so they should be fine.

  'Marla, look how rich energy this is?' Finn said as he looked at the storm of energies that covered the whole formation; forget Micheal, he could not even see Marla from his position; fortunately, this twinkling energy had not blocked my soul as it had my vision, so I could still talk to Marla.

  'Old Finn, be careful of this energy, don't step out of your protective layer, or it will tear you apart,' Marla cautioned.

  This twinkling energy from the core may look very beautiful, but it is anything but that. It is dangerous and injures them heavily if they remain in its contact for a time. Even little Micheal, with his preparation and abnormality, had not been spared by its assault.

  His outer skin had disappeared, and bones could be seen from them as energies began to scrap every inch of him as they funneled inside him.

  From what I could tell with my soul sense, he is currently fine, but in a few minutes, he would not be. This energy would tear him apart, and that is beginning to worry me. Till now, everything had gone fine; I didn't want to see anything bad happen to him.

  'Old Finn, don't fill your mind with useless worries; this energy might be dangerous, but Micheal will handle it. "

  "We should focus on that thing; we have to be ready when that thing strikes,' Marla reminded.

  'I have not become that old to forget about important things, little Marla,' I said, calling her with a name which she did not like. While they might be peers now, she is still a little student of his dear wife in his eyes; now and then, he would tease her, calling her 'little Marla.'

  'Just remember our purpose, old man,' she said back angrily.

  While they have come to protect Micheal during his breakthrough, there is another purpose for them coming here.

  To deal with sentient little vermin that is hiding in little Micheal's body, Marina did not have 100% confidence that defenses that little Micheal had prepared would be able to deal with it, so they have brough a secrete artifact from the council's repository to deal with it.

  The artifacts are quite dangerous for Micheal, and they would only use them when they were surviving under it; the artifact will give Micheal a chance to live, though the damage he will suffer would be irrevocable, they would still be better than dying under the curse hands.

  The energy is tearing me apart; it had a huge amount of my skin and now scrapping my bone; I am in a very precarious condition, and if energy did not stop its assault within fifteen seconds, I would be forced to use one of the defenses that I had kept for the curse.

  Hum!

  I had just thought that when I saw the rotation of the sphere is slowing down and within suction of energy, in just a few seconds, all the energy disappeared, and the sphere had finally stopped;? I should probably be called it Inheritance Core now.

  Gasp!

  I gasped and felt my breath taken away when I looked at the core; It is amazing, mesmerizing, enchanting; there are not enough words in my mouth to describe it.

  "Eh Eh Eh!"

  I was admiring my Inheritance Core when I heard the strange laughing sound. It is very scary and felt like it was made by an extremely scary monster, and it did come from an extremely scary monster that had been residing in my body since I was born.

  It is a parasite I have hated the most since I have come to know about it and tried all methods to get rid of it, but of course, all of them had turned futile.

  The curse had finally acted, and I will have to give my all to defend against it…… Once I have fully leveled up to Tyrant, I will get rid of this evil bugger myself.
