The X Guide Novel Chapter 204: Curse Guiding (4)

Chapter 204: Curse Guiding (4)

Ayen thought of how he accidentally noticed the curse wavelength last ti; he only needed to replicate the route using his guiding energy.

He did not want to do the sa thing, though, which was to make his guiding energy overflow like last ti. There was uncertainty there, so he used a more direct approach.

His brows furrowed slightly, but not even a few seconds later, Ayen’s brows relaxed. A refreshing stream seed to surround his whole being.

It was as though every cell in his body had beco alive, but it also gave a comfortable feeling. It was not like an adrenaline rush, but the effect was sothing similar.

The speed of his guiding energy also beca smoother, and his wavelength seed to be surrounded by mist.

There was no thinking anymore. It must be Khal’s doing, using the items.

Ayen relaxed. The impatience that slowly rose within him earlier vanished, and he tried every ans to replicate the sensation of that one ti.

He did not have any reference, only that one accidental ti.

On the surface, Devion’s wavelength was clean; the impurities left were cleansed by him as he sought that cursed side. Just as he tried to explore more and possibly return to the start, the wavelength visibly trembled.

There was shaking, sothing intangible but clearly palpable. Ayen went to another path where it was happening.

Although he said ’path,’ there were not really visible paths, but more of how the wavelengths’ energy instinctively used them as routes when guiding.

Devion’s wavelength was already surrounded by the sa mist as his, and he beca more confident this ti. Still, he tread carefully and went to that side; the trembling beca more noticeable.

He soon paused. Ayen concentrated his energy and decisively went down the path. The wavelength shook; Ayen’s expression twisted slightly.

Soon, a bout of refreshing chill went to him, numbing him from the pain.

Ayen did not retreat; the black surface was now visible to him. There were white mists around it, which was the reason it was making a fuss and trembling.

Like a shackled beast, it flailed around, causing Devion’s wavelength to tremble.

This was it. The path where the curse wavelength resided. Ayen could not help but inwardly gasp when he finally ’saw’ it; this ti, he could truly observe it.

Last ti, he had to retreat due to pain after the curse counterattacked his intrusion.

He realized just how deep the curse had been eating into Devion’s core. Almost half of Devion’s wavelength was already under its influence, considering it had been inside Devion for a decade.

Ayen had noticed it before; the amount of ti he needed to guide Devion was significantly lower than guiding Khal. So it was this reason.

He took a deep breath. He could not be sidetracked here.

Ayen paused first; he did not imdiately surround it with guiding energy. He could tell that Dveion was also suppressing it completely.

The esper left its wavelength completely unguarded, a risky endeavor that would surely piss Khal off. However, he could also understand that Devion trusted the esper with his life and did this to aid Ayen.

He might already be delaying the curse in his subconscious, and most of what was left was its instinctive desire to corrupt and struggle to do so.

Ayen cleared his mind and took this slowly. They were racing against ti, yes, but being hasty would do no good either.

The chill around him helped to stabilize his mind, so that Ayen only concentrates on this until he has beco lost to it. When it seed a lot of ti had passed, but only a few minutes in reality, Ayen had successfully entered its range.

The shaking beca so intense that Ayen frowned again from the pain throbbing in his head, but soon it disappeared again. He guessed Khal had activated another item to help.

He inwardly nodded and went inside it, disregarding the roar that suddenly went to his ear or perhaps mind. A slow voice, almost similar to Devion’s ringing in his ears.

"Why? You can’t help."

It said. Ayen did not even flinch. His emotions being numb for years helped in so way. This kind of word was not enough to dissuade him.

His indifference slowly seeped in again and went straight through that channel with guiding energy; the throbbing pain in his head sotis made him frown, but would soon relax, repeating the process.

"Ayen..." Ayen almost paused at that, but he ignored it. "Ayen, please... I’m in pain." Devion’s voice began to ring in his ears as he traversed the curse wavelengths’ path.

"Ayen... Ayen... Ayen..."

Now, Ayen finally realized why this curse always pissed off Devion. He ignored this call and then... Everything went silent.

Right. Ayen could not even rember the ti or his purpose there. He only felt his body floating sowhere or the impression.

It was strange that everything seed to beco black and white; a dull ache also surrounded him. Ayen floated for a mont before he instinctively let his body swim through that path, being dragged by the flow.

He set everything aside. He knew he had a purpose for why he was there, and Ayen only pushed through it.

The surroundings beca darker and grimr as he passed through the tunnel. One hour, two hours, or perhaps an eternity had passed. Ayen almost forgot his own existence.

Soon, he could not see anything anymore. The gri around felt sticky, wanting to seep into him as he passed through him. However, they could not. There seed to be sothing in Ayen that protected him from being corrupted by these things.

When he was about to lose himself, suddenly he felt a pulling sensation. His body began to fall in so direction; as he could not see, he could only let this sensation drag him again sowhere.

There was a vivid sensation of falling from heights that Ayen thought he might die from descending, but there was also a sense of freedom that went along with it.

A few minutes later, the sensation disappeared, and Ayen felt a ground behind his back. His brows furrowed. Huh? What happened?

mories slowly returned to Ayen. Slowly, he opened his eyes and blinked. A gloomy sky greeted him. Ayen did not get up, processing what was happening.

What was he doing earlier? Why was he in this place?

Right... Devion... Ayen muttered in his mind.

It was not just because he rembered him but because a familiar face obstructed his view of the sky. That arrogant grin when he first saw him adoring his angelic face.

"Huh? Are you here to die, beauty?"

Devion, a younger Devion, was in front of him.
