Boom doesn’t know that the weirdo in Ogu City who has been rumored all over the city recently is actually Rikka. Rikka is also afraid of being blamed by Boom, so she has always concealed it.
But it was a fact that he had swallowed a large amount of magic crystals. Although Rikka had eliminated his hunger, his energy was getting worse day by day, and he even dozed off.
That night, Boom squatted beside the bed worriedly, while Rikka was asleep at the moment. Her delicate little face was covered with fine sweat, and her hands sometimes transformed into short blades, sometimes grabbing the sheets.
What should I do? Boom thinks this may be another strange disease that only occurs in contracted beasts. He can neither ask a doctor, but there is nothing he can do.
He could only stay with Rikka helplessly, hoping that the blind gods would know that the world was always in chaos.
One day passed, and Boom was as still as a stone sculpture. Two days passed, and Boom's eyes were bloodshot, but the porridge on the bedside was always warm. Three days passed, and Boom passed out beside the bed due to dehydration.
Four days passed. Boom smiled and ate the meat and brown bread.
On the fifth day, Boom slowly stood up and walked out of the attic, hung up the lantern as usual, and cooked dinner as usual. But his eyes were extremely cold, it was a kind of despair after gain and loss, or in other words, a kind of innate despair.
The helplessness of dying.
On the sixth day, Boom was awakened by the morning sunshine. He looked at the lifeless body and planned to bury it, and even wanted to return to the wooden house in the slum.
On the seventh day, Boom looked confused and confused in despair. But the hand that wanted to lift Rikka's body suddenly stopped in the air and did not move for a long time.
On the eighth day, Boom was sitting cross-legged in the attic. Rikka's figure disappeared, replaced by a big cocoon.
On the ninth day, a faint fluorescent light illuminated the attic. Boom looked at the giant thing in front of him in silence, and the books scattered around him piled up like a mountain.
On the tenth day, Boom slowly pulled out the black wood staff, and after some hesitation, silently performed the "Elemental Summoning". But this time, it was magic power that fed back.
Joy is always accompanied by worry. After despair, there may be light, or more likely, dusk at the end of light.
After calming down, Boom learned that Rikka's current state is the unique evolutionary process of mutant contract beasts. And this process requires only one thing, the source of magic power or fighting spirit.
However, Boom is currently just the lowest level magic apprentice. After performing several "Elemental Summons", he found out that his pitiful magic power could not support his evolution.
Therefore, Boom came up with the idea of a black wood staff. This thing has been with him for more than half a year, and the magic power reserve in it must be more than ten times his own.
But that’s how people are, they will always be upright when it has nothing to do with themselves, but they will be cautious when it comes to their own interests.
Boom did not hesitate to temporarily slow down his training speed in exchange for future strength. What is stored in the Muhei Staff is not only his magic power, but also a bright future.
But there is no third answer to the question at hand. Either instill the magic power in the black wood staff into Rikka to help it evolve smoothly. Or else just watch indifferently and leave everything to fate.
"Since you are my only family, there is only one way left for me." Boom took a deep breath, then slowly sat down and raised the black wooden staff in front of his eyes.
Time passed by, and Boom was breathing heavily at the moment, pouring all the magic power into the cocoon. The black wooden staff had long been discarded aside, and countless magic crystals had turned into powder.
It was pitch dark in the attic, and the giant cocoon that was originally suspended was resting on the bed. And Boom was paralyzed in the corner like a drowned rat.
All the magic crystals were gone, the stored magic power in the black wood staff was gone, and he had already reached his limit. He did everything he could. As for whether Rikka could be reborn, it was up to her.<
/p>
Boom slowly closed his eyes. After many days of physical and mental torture, his will finally broke. He fell into a deep sleep, and the attic fell into deathly silence.
The moonlight passed through the curtains and lit up the room again. Boom still closed his eyes tightly, but countless cracks appeared on the surface of the giant cocoon.
Click! A sudden sound suddenly appeared, and a delicate arm penetrated the giant cocoon. The surrounding hard shell continued to collapse, and Rikka opened his eyes and stared at the familiar ceiling.
After a while, she slowly sat up straight. She saw that her originally supple skin became more pink and tender, and her long black hair was like a waterfall.
Dream! Rikka, who was reborn again, felt that she had a beautiful dream. In the dream, her brother smiled gently at her, but she was naughty and laughing.
Doubtful! Rikka stared at the metal shell next to her, as if she had returned to that dark rainy night. The only difference was that she now had a master, the boy named Boom.
"Brother..." Rikka stood up and walked to the corner, shaking Boom gently.
However, the other person seemed to have passed out. Rikka had no choice but to put him on the bed, not forgetting to cover him with a blanket.
That night she stood beside Boom, sometimes recalling the days she had forgotten, and sometimes worrying about the other person's condition. She acted like a good girl next door.
A new day ushered in Aogu City again, and Boom woke up after a night's rest. But what he saw when he opened his eyes was a face that was close to him.
Boom slapped him in response to a conditioned reflex, but with a loud snap, a huge cry came in an instant, almost breaking the roof.
"Brother, hit me! Woohoo, I'm going to die!" A familiar voice came into his ears, and Rikka stood in front of him as if nothing was wrong.
"You are sick! Why are you so close to me when you have nothing to do?" Although Boom's mouth was unforgiving, his brows were full of affection.
"I don't know, I seem to have slept for a long time. Isn't it because I'm afraid that my brother will abandon her?" Rikka covered her face and replied with some resentment.
"Okay, I'm going to get you something to eat first. You stay here and don't move around." Boom got out of bed and ran out of the attic without any image.
Not long after, the two sat opposite each other on the floor as usual. But today Boom looked particularly gentle, making Rikka sigh.
During the dinner, Rikka also learned about her situation in recent days. While she was surprised that she had successfully evolved, she also glanced at the black wooden staff intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Boom just smiled and put it away without caring. Then with a cold face, he ordered Rikka to be responsible for the meals for the next month.
"Brother, I've caused trouble to you again, I'm sorry." Rikka said a little embarrassed.
"Huh? Since you know that you are a troublemaker, let's make up for it with actions." Boom replied with a smile, and quietly pushed a piece of sugar cake to Rikka.
"But what exactly did you evolve this time? Can you show me?" Boom thought for a while and said again.
"That's all. Woohoo, I'm so useless." Rikka was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and slowly transformed his hands into short blades.
Boom was dumbfounded when he saw this, because this ability is something Rikka has always had. If there is any difference, it is that the short blade now is very exquisite, and it is no longer as crudely made as before. Even if it is cut off, it will not work.
