Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 133: All Is Well, I Think So

'AAHHHHH!!!!'

The pain caused by the strange apparition was not small and tiny. Lee, who had unrivalled stats, and D who was his guide and part of his soul, could not resist the incoming disaster. Grinding teeth like a maniac, he fell on the floor and twitched uncontrollably.

Lee's mind was in turmoil. D was battling against a ghost like figure as it simultaneously scratched Lee's consciousness little by little. The old man was wounded pretty badly and was barely standing up. The apparition immediately pounced onto D, with its mouth wide open to engulf him.

*pak*

A palm came down on Lee's back as he was lying upside down while showing extreme signs or uncomfort. The relatively stronger pat brought peace and stability to his being, and Gauthama raised himself on his legs. The ghost was about to eat D when the pat came in with a wave of blinding light. The ghost got its powers overshadowed by a large relaxing energy, and settled down lifeless and immobile.

Witnessing this, D assumed what had happened and immediately began to restore the consciousness chamber back to its peak. With his cultivation knowledge, D chanted and brought forth the highest level prison seal formation called 'Silent Singularity' and trapped the dormant ghost in it. A faint resistance he felt from the ghost signified that it was slowly accumulating strength for the next strike. D did not care about anything else, until he successfully placed the ghost inside the sealing formation.

As the consciousness chamber was being restored, D called forth Lee's soul into the chamber. The badly hurt and wounded soul was a painful sight to watch. The soul of Lee looked nothing more than a simple man rampaged by a bunch of hungry stray dogs. The soul had lost a major portion of its colour, indicating that the entry of the apparition was lethal enough to do so much damage.

After confirming that the Silent Singularity is completely established, and the malicious thing cannot escape anymore, D began to drain himself so as to provide soul nourishment to Lee. Time went by a lot, and D was still draining himself to bring back Lee to consciousness. The very slow rate of healing made him frown with a critical assumption.

Outside, in reality, Gauthama was carrying the unconscious Lee to his room upstairs. But before that, he did not forget to store the scythe somewhere safe. The souls were sticking onto his body, so Gauthama opened the gates of his soul and welcomed them in. Due to continuous torment and adversities, even the soul of an eight storey tall Eleven Headed Hydra was as small as a tennis ball. The endless overflowing tranquility did not actually give any nourishment, but it gave peace which those souls longed for.

Gauthama was continuously pouring in a large amount of energy into Lee's body. As the Tubian of Serenity, he could only calm the troubled minds and chaotic psyches. With this revelation and clear understanding of his helplessness, Gauthama still hoped for the best and enveloped Lee in an invisible blanket of relaxation.

This boosted the soul's healing. D was joyful as he saw the wounds closing up faster than before. He also noticed the resistance put forward by the bloody apparition, but did not take it into consideration. After providing an immense amount of his own soul vitality, D reclined onto the floor. Even when he was slowly slipping into sleep, his resolve made sure to keep the prison seal running without a hitch.

*tok tok*

Gauthama knocked on the door and the conversations from the inside went flat. A few seconds later, Tera opened the door and saw Gauthama with Lee on his shoulder.

Catching the sight of Lee hanging powerlessly from the shoulder of Gauthama, An and Mia rushed to the door. Ruella was running right behind them. Gauthama stepped through the door and took Lee to his bed, and laid him down there.

"What happened?"

Mia sounded her concern.

"Lee said that he is not feeling well and then fainted."

Though a lie, Gauthama felt the need of saying so. The facts about the scythe were simply unbelievable and the ladies would skew Gauthama if they came to know what happened downstairs. So he spoke so and quickly left the room. Tera also excused herself and followed her brother.

An tried patting his torso, but no reaction came. He was in a deep sleep state. Ruella and Mia sat at the edge of his bed, and scanned him.

"He will be alright."

Ruella gave Mia a reassuring nod, as she did not sense any kind of irregularities from him. His heartbeats were rhythmic, and his body was at its optimal state. No variation in temperature was registered by An as she checked him thoroughly.

"We have to go for training in the morning. So if we stay up at night, it will not do good."

An spoke as she stood up. Without sparing another glance, she walked to the door and closed it. Then, she walked to her bed and laid down without saying anything. Mia and Ruella saw her actions and gave a nod at each other and followed her lead. Somehow, they did not feel any hunger or weakness. When the clock hit 7.45, the trio was asleep.

----

The apparition was snarling like a mad beast as it tried to break out of the formation. But, pain and suffering welcomed it at each attempt. D, who had given most of his own soul's vitality as a nourishment to Lee, can be seen reclining on a couch. His eyes were heavy with fatigue, but the sight of the intruder trying to break out of the formation and getting painfully taught a lesson in the process, brought a smile on his face.

Turning his head around, he saw the suspended soul of Lee a little away from him. It had regained its previous luster and vibrance, but was still in a coma. As he was scanning him, Lee showed slight movements. D assumed that those are part of the healing process, because they were reactions caused by deep restoration of his soul.

Assuring himself that all is well, for now, D slipped into a peaceful slumber. Hours went past as he slept and restored his strength. Thus, within a wink of an eye, it was 3 in the morning.
