Cole knew sothing really big was actually going on in that location, but he was currently not in the physical state to even attempt going to check it out.
Cole was in a big dilemma as he had no way to heal his injuries.
He could feel a deep sense of urgency coming from a gut feeling and even from the forest itself.
For no obvious reason, the air tightened almost as if locking Cole in his place.
Beads of sweat began forming all over his body.
But then, It vanished leaving only a heavy and dreadful air behind.
"Sothing is coming. Sothing big."
As a desperate asure Cole finally decided on sothing.
"I need to fix my arm as soon as possible." A fierce expression appearing on his face.
He knew how crazy he was for the decision he was about to make, but he had no choice but to do it if he wanted to survive.
He proceeded to sit down and steady his breath while trying to ntally prepare himself for what was to co.
He looked at his mangled arm with a determined gaze.
"Hold on, Cole, you can do it."
In a fierce and swift motion, he twisted the first part back into place.
"Haaaaaaaa," He scread out.
He didn’t stop, though; he moved to the next part and did the sa thing.
He continued the action of resetting and screaming until he felt he had fixed almost all of them.
He was currently sitting with his chest heaving harshly and his tears forming slightly in his eyes.
What he just did takes so much conviction and resolution to pull off, even when he decided to do it. He stopped multiple tis.
Now that he had brutally fixed the core of the problems he was currently facing.
He returned to absorbing Life energy to try to heal the injuries in his arm.
This ti, the absorption was helpful as Cole began feeling a sense of ease and comfort in his arm.
"So life energy can’t heal extre damage; it’s only useful for bruises and cuts."
"I need to prepare for the future," he thought.
Little by little, his injured arm regained its full health, and after a while it was back to how it was if you ignored the soreness.
While he was absorbing, Cole realized sothing chilling. His muscles were relaxing excessively as if they wanted to lt into the environnt.
If he hadn’t forcefully snapped out of it, things might have beco precarious.
Absorbing too much life energy makes you slowly rge into the environnt. Like the world would absorb you as a whole.
This fact had been haunting powerful Spiriters for a while, but they haven’t disclosed it to the public.
The reasons for that remain unknown.
With a slightly back-in-shape body, Cole rose to his feet and looked in the direction of the explosion he previously heard.
"Now that I am barely fully functional, I should go check that out," he said.
He had been intentionally ignoring that fact for a while. After the large explosion.
Tiny explosive sounds have been coming from that direction specifically.
A sign that a big fight was currently ongoing over there.
Cole didn’t wait around leisurely anymore. Instead, he climbed a tree and began heading in the direction.
His journey started with increased adrenaline as he was partially frightened and partially excited for what was to co.
"I wonder how that second-year student is doing now."
"He can’t be dead, can he?" Cole thought.
The thought of the possibility of death of the senior caused another shift in Cole.
He carries a deep scar within him from the actions of others, so doing sothing like that to soone else makes him feel a bit uncomfortable.
"I hope he is fine," Cole thought.
He knew he was actually being hypocritical, but that didn’t stop him from worrying.
Cole was brought back to reality by a change to his environnt.
The previous lush grasses and thick trees were slowly and gradually changing and reducing.
As if the aftermath of a large battle were destroying them.
So of the trees carried burnt marks, while so of them appeared infected by sothing vile.
But irrespective of the type of injury or damage, sothing was constant.
Sothing big is happening in the direction he was headed.
Cole knew it, and the Empty Codex seed to know it too.
So ti ago, it had begun its aggressive pulsation again, with the intensity increasing as Cole moved forward.
Cole suddenly stopped.
Ahead of him was what looked to be a barrier. It wasn’t made of energy or anything like that.
Instead, it was made of thick fus and particles.
For so reason, they didn’t disperse further than they currently were, forming a zone of separation between where Cole was and the inside.
Cole hesitated and thought for a while before deciding to risk it.
"I need to get to the bottom of this."
He said before rushing straight into the thick fus.
The inside of the fus looked nothing like the outside world. It was like a whole new world governed by intense heat.
The heat was so much Cole felt like his blood was boiling away; he couldn’t even sweat to regulate his temperature.
The water molecules seed to vaporize before they could even completely form.
"This is crazy, can this really be caused by a battle between two students?"
"Ohh, can it be that man’s partner?" Cole suddenly realized.
The realization made Cole freeze again. He felt a chill spread down his spine despite the extre heat he was in.
"I hope he isn’t the one; I am not ready yet," Cole thought before he continued his journey.
The deeper he went, the thinner the fus got, and weirdly, the heat reduced.
It was as if they were only trying to keep people out.
The deeper he went, the louder the sound of battle also got. And after so minutes, Cole arrived at the epicenter.
In the epicenter of it all, what Cole encountered left him shocked beyond words.
His mouth wide opened in an agape state.
"Isn’t that Cain?" he thought.
