Chapter 98

At the same time, It felt as if my body was gaining strength close to the strength I had gained when fighting against those monsters from before.

No... This power was different from then.

I had gained that power from eating the fruit that had satiated my hunger even until now.

Now, the energy was a little different... It was as if something deep within me was being unlocked. I power that had been hidden within the depths of my DNA and consciousness.

A power beyond the understanding of the normal human being.

I could feel that my muscles were beginning to bulge a little, but not enough for it to become uncomfortable. The same thing was happening to all the veins in my body that stretched from head to toe before flowing with a crimson red energy.

Simultaneously, my eyes did the same and also began shining with the same color.

My eyes had become bloodshot now, yet the crimson of my irises had a significant difference in their shade that made it easy for anyone to differentiate between it and the bloodshot white of the eyes. That was if I were to not mention that the crimson irises were only around 70% red, the rest of it being a deep black that had resisted the invasion of the crimson light.

I could finally feel that the heat was beginning to get further away. Wait for no... I was running faster, much faster. In fact, I literally have not run this fast ever before. This speed was nowhere close to the speed of the woman I had fought the day before but if I had this power and speed then, I wouldn't have struggled as much.

'Maybe I would have even kept an ear.' I chuckled at my own dismay.

After running for about 5 minutes, I could feel that the power within my body was being drained at an extremely fast speed as if I was a bottomless well that the energy was being poured into.

My body slid to a gradual stop and my head turned back to see if the flames were getting any closer.

The bulging muscles and veins were beginning to fade back into my normal body where I didn't look like a man who could be killed with a single papercut.
