6 Hours Later….
“Ahhhhh…ahahhhhhahhh.”
The beautiful girl couldn’t had help, but stare down at Chin Ju as he was wailing in pain. His skin cracked, and tore making him a vision straight from the Underworld. Painting his body in all sort of colors that made his body seem like a rainbow from death. It was like fireworks were going off in his body as his skin was ripping apart.
Agonizing screams left his mouth as the puddle of blood expanded, leaving him in more of a lake. It gave the feeling that the pain, agony and suffering was only just the beginning. While the green grass that once surrounded Chin Ju is now covered in red that lost all its green luster it had before.
She didn’t think that the overwhelming pain would be this enormous, or that the body would get destroyed this fast. That each change could have be seen to the visible eye; even if a mortal were to watch they could easily watch his skin come apart.
But amongst all this, Chin Ju suddenly had the thought that the excruciating, and extreme pain that he was currently in was only at the level of his skin. He began to think about the fact that his muscles, organs and bones would also be destroyed and rebuilt.
Two words came to mind, “give up!” His body wavered at the idea of quitting, but it was only for a split second as another word replaced his original thought, ‘NEVER!’
The girl’s sun like eyes were worried when she saw that his body tremble, but watching him as he closed his mouth, and tightened his fist, she realized that her worry was for not.
The throbbing pain was still going, but he refused to scream, not even letting a another sound escape from his mouth, as he tightened his fist, and planted his body like a tree into the ground. Bearing the full might of the torture as each second felt longer than the last.
When the girl first saw Chin Ju, she looked at him with pity, but now it was as if she could feel the determination coming from him. Her thoughts on Chin Ju fully changed watching his resolve, she began to feel a sliver of respect for him.
……
As Chin Ju lay suffering in the cave, unknown to him, high up in the sky the clouds started dancing. Slowly the clouds chased each other round, and round as if though they were little children playing a game. As Chin Ju suffer the clouds would move faster and faster. In just a few minutes the clouds began moving fast enough to cause all the trees within 5 kilometers of the cave to sway, and bend making the trees struggle for survival.
The wind became increasingly stronger around the cave that it filled it with such thick fog that a yellow shoulder bat known for its keen eyesight couldn’t even see 1 meter in front of it.
Had anyone been here at this time they would have run in fear from the sound of the wind as it blew across the front of the cave making it sound exactly like 10,000 ghost wailing their resentment to the world.
The group of people that were chasing Chin Ju had already left about an hour ago. People from the sect found them by the cave, and told them that the sect master had ended the search on Chin Ju. Claiming that he’s already dead from a monster eating him, because of that no one is around to witness the phenomenon that is surrounding the cave.
……
6 Hours Later…..
Chin Ju was laying on the floor with his blood shot eyes fully open, looking up at nothing. His mouth was closed shut not making a sound, maybe because he couldn’t yell or still refuse to let a sound escape him.
His face and most of his body was gone, leaving behind only his bone structure as a frame, and what was left of his muscles sizzled into the air as if a fire was burning inside of him. Even smoke started to gather around his body giving an image of red smoke.
Strangely, though his blood was still leaking from his bones adding to the red lake that surrounded him, and massive piece of skin that came flaking off floated around the top of the red water. Dancing with a light breeze of wind guiding them.
If someone were to pass by and see Chin Ju, they would think he’s been dead for years with all that was missing. The only hint that life remained was the little air coming out of his left over nose. It was faint, but nevertheless he was still breathing.
“With him looking like a skeleton, people would think that he’s been long dead, but his body is reproducing blood fast enough to keep him alive. Plus with his heart rapidly beating it helps spread the blood throughout his body. This process is rebuilding himself, because his rich oxygen blood cells are arriving to help build the new tissue, and it keeps the blood pumping through his veins.” The girl spoke out loud thinking to herself, but her face still showed confusion.
‘He shouldn’t be on the second level of the muscles should he?’ For the girls’ understanding that should at least take three months to half a year to reach. To reach that level within such a short time would be unheard.
…….
“Sizzle..”
Chin Ju was laying on the floor while his skin was sizzling into the air, but unknown to him and the girl, the wind was restlessly playing a game of tag in the middle of midnight. Cutting every tree to the ground in clean cuts as the clouds were trying to furiously catch each other. They were spinning in circles with their whole playground being in the sky and ground, but somewhere in their fun a spark of light shined out, joining the wind in its joy.
While Chin Ju muscles were burning away, the fire was growing stronger every passing moment. The wind was feeding the fire making it reach higher up into the air showing it’s might. Although the fire never passed the 5 kilometer point, the heat on the other hand went as far to 28 kilometer away from the cave melting anything that came across paths with.
All the monsters that were in close proximity of Chin Ju simultaneously raised their heads up looked around them. A few minutes past before they started to do anything, but in a swift second all the monsters started to madly run in the opposite direction of Chin Ju.
Following behind them the trees acted like steel that was just getting made as they were warping, and melting down to the ground. A couple of the slow monsters were caught in the heat as they soon join the trees around them.

6 Hours Later…..
“Huh?” The girl stared down at Chin Ju, and couldn’t believe what she was seeing, her eyebrows knitted together with a confused look covering her face. Her eyes widened like eggs with shock, as two words ran through her head. ‘But how?’
Chin Ju was on his side, laying down in a lake of blood, his body looked completely different with his muscles and skin being back on his bones. His skin started to grow on his upper body and worked its way to his head, arms and legs following that order.
The muscles that he was lacking before is by no means lacking now, they are cut and very defined showing each and every angle of them.
But, even with it begin the case Chin Ju’s body twisted trying to grab itself as heavy dark red liquid oozed out of his mouth, nose and ears. Slowly oozing the liquid was leaving behind a trail of blood separating itself from the red lake.
Right now his organs, veins, liver, lungs, and etc… are getting destroyed into a liquid form and forcefully pushed out of his mouth, nose and ears.
“Cough.”
“Cough.”
Chin Ju kept coughing to allow his throat to clear, and when it was clear enough to breathe he would take a deep breath of oxygen, the air he was getting was thin and small, because soon after the liquid would soon fill his mouth again. Leaving no room for him to fully catch his breath.
‘He shouldn’t already be on the third level of inner body.’ Each time the girl couldn’t believe her eyes when she watched Chin Ju.
…….
“Whoosh”
The wind ravaged the ground tearing it apart leaving behind ravines that went 500 feet into the soil. If the wind before was kids playing in a playground now it was like a war.
The fire turned into lava from the melting of the soil beneath it, decimating the land into nothing, but even with that the case the fire was still reaching into the air going hundreds of feet up, while the wind created ravines in the ground.
Both showing their might to the world while staying in a small space. The wind and fire spread out showing their dominance as the heart of all this stayed in there space both reaching thousands of feet into the air.
Like before another element joined the two as they were waging war. Not to be out done, the weather turned sub-zero as freezing half the lava back to stone. Realizing that another foe turned up the fire was not going to lose that easy, it exploded with heat going against the ice, but the ice also sent a frontal attack for it was not going to back down.
They clashed into each other not showing dominance over the other, both staying at a stalemate, while the wind was helping both sides giving them both a boost, but while it was still ravaging the ground creating ravines.
…….
6 Hours Later…..
Chin Ju was laying on top of the lake as half of his body was covered in a dark aura, and the other half had a bright aura surrounding it. Both were staying on their half as they release a heavy atmosphere around Chin Ju, one giving a cold sinister feeling, and the other felt like your skin is burning. They didn’t cross each other as if they didn’t even know of the others existence.
The veins on Chin Ju were popping out as if worms were crawling inside of him.
The whole time the girl’s eyes were wide open while she was looking down at the boy from the tree. The look she was giving Chin Ju was no longer, or even a trace of pity it was like as if she was staring at a monster that should not be in existence.
She wanted to get up, and check his body many times, but in the end she would stop herself from thinking that. She decided that she cant accidently distract him in anyway for it could kill him.
A slight movement caught the girl’s eyes almost making her jump out of her spot.
“The pattern of this movement was different from all the others before it. When he moved before he would show pain or move fast to grab hold of something that hurts. This twitch was different it was more like his body was trying to wake up.” She thought to this point trying to reason to herself.
Not able to contain the excitement anymore she got up, and walked toward Chin Ju. Her two feet were dyed red because of Chin Ju’s blood that was surrounding him, but she paid it no heed. She stopped a foot away from Chin Ju, and watched him more closely, without doing anything else.
‘He should wake up any second now!’ She thought to herself still trying her best not to distract him
After an hour had passed the girl couldn’t help feel a little shock watching Chin Ju.
“That’s normal if he didn’t wake up. What was I thinking? Even the amount of time I told him was not even that was accurate. If he were to wake up this early he would even make a god open their mouth in surprise.” Mumbling to herself as she shook her head of the crazy idea of him waking up this early.
“Whoosh.”
Then all of a sudden a bright light went off behind her covering the whole cave. Catching her in surprise, she closed her eyes while turning around to see where the source was coming from.
She squinted her eyes not fully able to open them all the way. All she could make out was a bright white light not able to see anymore then that.
After ten minutes had passed the light started to dim down. Slowly it became dark enough were the girl could look ahead to see the source. “What is this phenomenon? I have never seen such a thi….” She stop talking mid sentence as her eyes laid on the boy.
Even her breath stopped with her talking as if staring was the only thing she knew how to do.
But, one thing she didn’t know was that the light was only half of it, there was another half that she couldn’t see as the light was covering her line of sight.
On the other side of the light came a pitch darkness that went throughout the whole cave covering everything for not even a Lagmeth could see. It’s known to fully be able to see in the dark, because they can only be found where there’s completely no light, but this darkness was an endless void that would take all the light that surrounded it leaving nothing behind. It almost even had a feeling that it wanted to absorb everything in its path.
She brought her hands to her eyes and rubbed them; to open them again, but every time the boy was still there.
A full 24 hours had passed since he started, and at the last second of the day Chin Ju slowly started to open his eyes. He then looked around him, and saw that the girl was standing over him. Chin Ju just stared up at the beautiful girl as she stared down at him.
Her look at Chin Ju has completely changed since the first time he came in. Her gaze now was as if she was staring at a monster, beast, or out of the world’s existence.
‘He had finished all the stages in just a time span of a day?’
5 minutes has passed, and finally Chin Ju was the first one to break the silence…..
