Pain X Effects of Use

Eager.

This is a signal from the body.

Looking at the potion in front of me.

In transparent glass, the liquid exhibits a double Spiral structure, constantly rotating, which is very obvious.

As the double Spiral in the center rotates, the liquid also rotates slowly, sometimes clearly black and white, sometimes merging into one, sometimes bursting with seven colors, and sometimes merging into one color.

It seems to be showcasing the characteristics of its own furnace.

That feeling of longing seemed to be unique to certain A-Rank potions.

Of course, not all A-Rank drugs produce this feeling, but all A-Rank drugs that bring about changes to the body will more or less create this physical craving.

Kevin, holding the medicine, pushed open the door to the room next door and entered a pure white room with almost no furniture.

However, some sensors can be seen in the eight corners of the room and on the walls.

When the drug might be related to combat and requires exertion of power to be effective, Kevin would go to the Training Ground to test it.

However, Kevin would take drugs like the one he had, which were clearly not strongly related to combat, in this room, using high-tech detection devices to help him understand the effects of the drug and record his current physical condition.

Walk to the center.

Syringe appeared in his hand, and he put the medicine into it.

It plunged itself into its own thigh.

The liquid vanished instantly, and the effects of the medicine began to take hold within the body.

"Holy crap!"

Kevin cried out, then knelt on one knee, his body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

Why such a strong reaction?

This reaction exceeded Kevin's expectations.

Even the first A-Rank potion produced previously shouldn't have caused such a reaction in the spine.

If Kevin hadn't known that the potion wasn't poison, Kevin would be panicking by now.

A large amount of sweat uncontrollably secreted from his forehead and dripped down his cheeks.

Thanks to his exceptional physical abilities, Kevin hadn't sweated like this in a long time.

His body was under tremendous pressure.

"Hiss~"

Kevin cried out in pain, clenching his teeth.

Pain, accompanied by the body's frantic trembling, followed by pain.

Protruding blood vessels began to appear on the skin of the neck, cheeks, arms, and all other surfaces.

The skin surface began to redden at a visible rate.

Coupled with his violently trembling body, Kevin seemed on the verge of collapse.

"Damn it!"

The approaching pain made Kevin grit his teeth and curse.

Since his arrival in this world, Kevin has never suffered such intense pain and torment.

It felt as if countless Chimera Ant were crawling along my skin, trying to burrow into my body, and the surface of my skin was covered with a layer of Chimera Ant.

Then came the Chimera Ant, which seemed to have actually crawled in through pores or bite wounds.

They began to dart and tear through strange places like muscles and blood vessels, not just the skin, but also the eyes, throat, internal organs, and everything else in the body that could feel something, seemingly transmitting similar sensations.

"Snap!"

It sounded like bones being snapped in two.

Kevin finally couldn't hold back and screamed.

"Aaaaaah!"

The pain in my spine, extending from the tailbone all the way to what seems like the brain, felt like someone was using a long steel needle to clear a blockage.

And it's constantly rubbing back and forth.

Kevin clenched his fists and curled up into a ball.

"Bang!"

The Gate was suddenly pushed open.

Melusina rushed in, looking panicked.

She stared wide-eyed at Kevin, who was huddled in a ball in the middle of the room.

To outsiders, Kevin looked exactly like a boiled shrimp, his pain almost visibly obvious, his eyes bloodshot.

The white uniform he was wearing, which he had changed into in the pharmaceutical workshop, was now completely stained crimson.

A crimson mist could be seen around Kevin.

Melusina gritted her teeth, wanting to rush over, but reason told her she shouldn't.

Her connection with Kevin was telling her that Kevin was only in pain, not in danger.

The empty medicine bottle next to him also explains why Kevin is in this state.

All she can do now is wait and see how Kevin copes with his pain.

He silently closed the door, leaned against it, pursed his lips, and watched the scene unfold before turning his head away.

They kept going back and forth like that.

Half an hour passed.

The medication's effects are starting to wear off.

Cough cough cough!

The moment the drug's effects wore off, Kevin, whose face was flushed and who was in so much pain that he couldn't make a sound, suddenly coughed violently.

Seemingly sensing something, Melusina rushed over and helped Kevin up.

With a cough, Kevin vomited a large amount of blood.

Melusina quickly wiped Kevin's mouth with her sleeve.

"I'm fine."

Kevin said weakly, his eyelids barely able to lift.

He now feels a sense of relief, as if he has survived a disaster.

He was panting heavily.

Melusina held him like that, letting his upper body and head rest against her.

It was quiet for quite a while.

Kevin seemed to have just recovered and opened his eyes.

"The pain was so intense, I felt like I was going to ascend to heaven."

Melusina watched him, and only after confirming that Kevin was alright did she finally reach out and give Kevin's cheek a hard tug.

His tone carried lingering fear, blame, and a hint of grievance.

"Let's see if you dare to misuse your own medicine again."

Kevin smiled, but it was a little forced.

"Who would have thought this would happen? But the result is good, it's just that the process was a bit painful."

"To directly enjoy the fruits of the entire Chimera Ant colony, this price is nothing at all, isn't it?"

Kevin even made a joke.

All she got in return was a Melusina.

Struggling to sit up, Melusina quickly helped him.

"Phew, I'm alive again."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up.

As he stood up, his entire body crackled and popped like firecrackers.

Until he is fully standing.

He stretched again, extending his body, and the crackling sounds grew louder and louder.

"Mmm~ That feels good!"

Kevin couldn't help but yell.

He had never felt so light. He had just gone through the most painful period of his life, and the refreshing feeling that followed was like a shot through his brain.

"Go take a shower first. Can't you see you're covered in blood?"

Melusina grabbed Kevin, who was trying to move.

He forcibly dragged the other person into the adjacent washroom and gave them a thorough cleaning.

Kevin then realized that he was covered in blood from head to toe, and that the blood had even formed a scab on Kevin surface in a short time.

Then clumps of hair started falling out.

"Ah?"

As the water washed down, Kevin stared wide-eyed at his reflection in the mirror.

"Where's my hair? Oh crap, my eyebrows are gone too!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look down.

It's over.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Melusina nearby, let out a gloating smile.

Kevin is hilarious now.

No hair, no eyebrows, her whole body was spotless, like an alien.

"It seems I can't be seen in public for the foreseeable future."

Kevin said with a hint of helplessness.

With his control over his body, he discovered that his hair follicles were still there; it was just a minor side effect of the medication that caused his hair loss.

After a while, these hairs will grow back.

Put your clothes back on.

They returned to the Pharmaceutical Room.

Melusina kept touching Kevin's bald head, and occasionally rubbing his eyebrow bone where he had no eyebrows.

"Stop touching me."

"So stingy, and so smooth."

"If you touch it again, it will become even smoother, and then no hair will grow at all."

Upon hearing this, Melusina abruptly withdrew her words.

"That won't do; you won't look good without hair."

"Tch, woman."

Melusina shifted her attention again, constantly touching Kevin's face, and then raising his hand to touch it all over.

"How come your skin is so smooth now? Does that potion still have this effect?"

A look of excitement appeared on Melusina's face.

Kevin's pain had made him hesitate, but this skin-whitening-like change now appealed to her.

After the two sat down, Melusina was slightly shocked and looked at Kevin.

So why were you acting like that just now?

As she recalled the events, Melusina couldn't help but feel a lingering sense of unease.

Even though she knew Kevin wasn't in any danger, the way he looked in pain was something she didn't want to think about.

"It's my personal problem. If someone else had used this oath, they definitely wouldn't have suffered as much as I did."

Kevin was somewhat helpless.

He then explained the reasons and changes he had experienced in detail.

"I used too many oaths, and these oaths are etched into my body by my Enhancement Type abilities [Blank Meteor].

"This unique method of using Nen ability to remember deeply through the drug oath is essentially about permanently retaining certain characteristics of the drug oath in the body."

"Some of them aren't even Nen ability or techniques, but those are minor issues. The more serious problem is the A-Rank drugs I used before."

Kevin looked at Melusina.

"Didn't I tell you before? - Some characteristics of A-Rank drug oaths."

Melusina nodded.

"A-Rank drugs will essentially cause permanent changes to the body, and because they will cause permanent changes to the body, they require a relatively high level of physical fitness."

"Some medications cause only minor permanent changes to the body, with temporary effects playing a major role, which is fine. However, some medications cause very serious permanent changes to the body."

A typical example of this is the [Nen quantity battery] potion.

Because it modifies the Vertebrae to store Nen Aura).

"That's right. All the small changes from the previous medication, plus the big changes brought about by the A-Rank oath, have now truly integrated into the body under the influence of this oath."

"If it were just one thing, it would be fine, but I have too many things in my body. They are all fusing together during the duration of the oath, which is equivalent to performing a total body resection on me, going deep into my bone marrow,"

The pain had occurred just a dozen minutes earlier, so it was still fresh in Kevin's memory; the thought sent a chill down his spine.

At that time, the pain was so intense that my mind went blank, but because the physical modifications couldn't trigger my body's protective mechanisms, I had to endure it.

The phrase "each day feels like a year" has become Conjuration.

Sensing Kevin's emotions, Melusina took his hand.

Kevin looked at Melusina and smiled gently.

"Don't worry, because the consequences of such pain are beyond imagination."

As he spoke, Kevin raised his hand.

A hexagonal barrier of Nen Aura appeared in the air with a semi-transparent structure.

Let your heart guide your actions.

Several hexagons appeared instantly, joined together, and formed a spherical structure composed of a hexagonal barrier.

On this semi-transparent barrier, strange runes could even be seen, and these strange runes actually took on a black mist-like appearance.

"You've attached the snake's ability to control Resentment to it?"

Kevin nodded.

"Skills that were absolutely impossible to achieve and merge before have now been merged so easily."

Finally, the hexagonal sphere suddenly unfolded into a plane, and then the Hexagonal Barrier, which had originally appeared to be a solid structure, became shaky in an instant, as if it had turned into water.

Kevin's hand passed through the barrier, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed to accelerate, suddenly piercing through the entire arm.

"Time acceleration?"

"That's right."

Time Drop, no matter how hard you tried to learn and control it, it could only be in the shape of Water Droplets.

But now, it can be integrated into the barrier, taking on a flat shape.

Although it can still only maintain a very small area, its practicality is greatly improved compared to the previously necessary Water Droplets.

However, that's not the most important thing.

"Isn't that the most important thing?"

Melusina was somewhat surprised, because in his view, the fact that Kevin could integrate all his Nen ability meant that Kevin's strength had jumped to a whole new level.

Kevin's previous Nen ability were limited to combining only one or two Nen ability at most due to varying degrees of compatibility.

The convenience of using multiple items together is now completely incomparable to what it used to be.

"The Cocoon of Rebirth, do you still remember it?"

"Of course I remember, wasn't it this ability that made Meruem and the others more human-like?"

"Yes, this ability was obtained from the Queen; essentially, it's about using one's own genes to alter the genes of other organisms."

Upon hearing Kevin state the key point, Melusina seemed to grasp something, but couldn't immediately understand it.

"I'm practically a carbon copy of the Queen now."

Kevin said.

This made Melusina's eyes widen in surprise.

"You can fuse genes?"

"It's not that exaggerated, but this ability has more subtle variations. Another major source of my pain is the process of this ability integrating into my body."

Kevin frowned as he spoke, explaining that the changes this ability underwent after being integrated into his body could only be studied gradually.

However, at least the initial and most important goal has definitely been achieved.

The breakthroughs and changes in the body brought about by fusion have already been achieved.

Kevin was able to clearly recognize the feeling of ease and freedom in his body.

His body can become even stronger, and there are no immediate limits to it.
