The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 449: Energy Mutation

At the same time that the energy wave of the attack was subsiding, Henry suddenly felt that a huge amount of energy was suddenly poured into his body, and it was as if his body was about to burst apart.

Veins suddenly popped out all over Henry’s body. At this moment, Henry was feeling that there was a huge pressure that was being exerted from within his body.

This was completely unexpected for Henry, as he had not thought that something like this was going to happen. For that reason, he had not prepared for anything like this. Even if he actually knew that something like this was going to happen, how was he supposed to prepare for something like this?

According to how he could feel right now, it was as if the energy that was accumulated in his body wanted to break through the barrier, but even then, the barrier was extremely steady, and was not easy to break.

For that reason, the energy that was in his body was exerting pressure on him, instead of the wall. Right now, he felt like he had to control this energy, in order for it to break the barrier that was preventing him from reaching the next level.

Just as he was thinking of the solution, pain suddenly began coursing through his entire body. At the same time, his skin began cracking, as blood began leaking out of the wounds.

At this moment, Henry’s eyes had already turned blood red. At the same time, the veins that had popped up all over his body intensified, and it was as if they were going to burst in the next moment.

The pain that Henry was experiencing was extremely tremendous, and this was actually the first time that he was experiencing the pain of this level. But even then, he realized that no matter what he did, there was only one solution to this problem, and that was to make sure that the energy that was accumulated in his body was taken care of.

At this moment, Henry began focusing, trying to control the energy that was in his body, facing the invisible barrier. There was actually a barrier that was preventing him from reaching the next level, but even then, it was not as if he could see it.

But in any case, linking with the fact that the energy was the one that was required for him to be able to break through the barrier, he just pushed it towards the right direction.

And of course, since Henry did not possess any manipulation ability, it was of course difficult for him to be able to control the energy in his body as he wanted. But even then, he did not give up, considering that the moment that he gave up, he was definitely going to die.

The moment that he began directing the energy towards the barrier that was blocking his entrance into level 9 of the diamond rank, he suddenly felt that the pressure that was being exerted on his body was actually reduced. But even then, the pressure that had been reduced was not that much, and had only delayed his body from bursting for just a few seconds.

Henry was not willing to give up. So, he continued pushing on harder. But of course, how was it going to be easy for him to be able to control the energy? Additionally, the energy itself was not his considering that it had not yet integrated into his body for him to be able to control it.

But nevertheless, through sheer willpower, Henry pressed on. At the same time, he began thinking of things that would motivate him in order to succeed. He thought of his family, he thought of this world as an entirety.

Currently, they had already been invaded, and the lives that they were living before had changed. Although it was true that it was due to this apocalypse that he had managed to gain his own freedom, but even then, he believed that at some point in time, even without the apocalypse, he would have definitely been capable of getting out of that island.

But now, Henry definitely did not want this apocalypse to continue being here. After all, with the apocalypse, with it being present within this world, that implied that there was danger that was always lurking around. Additionally, it was not as if he was going to be able to protect his family on a daily basis. What if his family was suddenly attacked during the time that he was away?

It might be true that he would be able to come back to the territory and save them as long as they were within the territory. But even then, was he just going to confine his family within the territory and not allow them to venture out? If they went out of the territory, it was definitely going to be impossible for him to be able to appear where they were to save them.

The moment that he began thinking about these things, he got even more determined to deal with the energy that was still pushing hard on him.

The moment that he did that, he felt that the pressure that he was feeling was actually decreasing. At that moment, he was even more motivated, and kept on pushing.

At the same time that Henry was trying to control the energy in his body to break the barrier that was preventing him from reaching the next level, something else was happening within his body. But even then, Henry was not paying attention to know what was happening.

At this moment, at the area within his body where his profession core were located, close to the energy reserve, something else suddenly happened. The energy that was in his body, the one that had been idle during the time that he was dealing with the extra energy that had appeared after he killed the monsters suddenly began moving.

That energy was not being mobilized by Henry at this moment, and therefore, it was actually not supposed to be moving. But even then, it began rotating within the energy reserve, without any destination at all.

Then suddenly, another thing happened. The energy that was previously almost colorless suddenly began turning red. This was the same color as that of his fire element.

The moment that the energy reserves turned red, Henry’s body was suddenly enveloped by a bright red fire. The temperature surrounding him suddenly increased by a great margin, making the vegetation all around him to begin wilting.

Adam and the others also noticed the commotion that was happening here. But the moment that they arrived here, they were forced to stop at a distance. The temperatures around Henry were just too much for them to be able to approach.

Even though they were already standing over 100 m away from where Henry was located, they could feel that the skin on their bodies that had been exposed was already being incinerated.

It seemed that they could no longer continue standing in the same position for a long time. So, after a while, they began retreating, considering that the intensity of the heat that was coming out of Henry was increasing as time went by.

Adam was extremely livid at this moment. Of course he was worried about Henry. Henry was his brother, and he was not sure about what it was that Henry was experiencing.

This was the first time that he was seeing Henry in this situation. All this time, although Henry had attacked several times, he had never seen the time that Henry was covered by his flames in such a way.

Additionally, right now, since Henry was currently covered in the red flames, they could not actually see his figure at all. They could only see his silhouette from time to time as the flames around him flickered.

On the other hand, Henry did not know about the changes that had occurred around him at all. Instead, he was simply focusing on one thing, and that was to break the barrier that was preventing him from breaking the next level.

He kept on pushing, and he felt that the pressure that was being exerted on his body was continuously reducing. But even then, he felt that his skin was still continuously cracking.

The pain had not subsided in the least, and it was as painful as hell. But even then, he did not even scream. He had experienced a lot during the time that he was on that island, and his willpower was extremely strong. So, although he was undergoing a lot of pain, he was able to hold on.

At the same time as Henry was pushing the energy towards the barrier, his own energy had completely turned blood red. At this moment, the intensity of the flame that was covering his body had suddenly rose by several degrees.

Then in the next moment, something that nobody would have expected to happen happened. The blood red energy reserves that Henry possessed suddenly began moving by themselves, moving out of the energy reserve where they were located.

Then in the next moment, they actually began moving all over the body, and they began fighting against the other energy that was trying to destroy Henry’s body. At the same time, they began strengthening Henry’s body, preventing the energy from being capable of destroying it, and the cracking actually stopped.

The moment that it had managed to prevent the energy from destroying Henry’s body, the energy began moving, pushing that energy towards that barrier, helping Henry in trying to destroy it.

Then, another mutation suddenly occurred. The moment that that energy that Henry possessed touched the energy that had been brought over after Henry killed the monsters, that energy actually began being consumed by Henry’s own energy.

Slowly, that energy was beginning to turn red, but even then, the rate at which it was changing was actually so slow. So, it was definitely going to take quite a while for it to be able to completely transform.
