Chapter 155 – The Mark of a Race

Goddammit! I’ve been losing my consciousness a lot lately…

Calron cursed, looking around to figure out where he was, but he could only see the darkness that enveloped him.

I need to calm my mind and analyze the current situation.

Calron composed himself and tried to think carefully about how he came here.

He remembered being at the slave auction and just winning the bid on Avor. After that, things became a bit hazy and his memory was in fragments. However, he recalled his Teacher warning about someone trailing him and his activation of the Divine Perception.

And then, the mental pain hit him.

*shaaah*

The sound of a gentle breeze echoed in Calron’s ears. What was strange was that Calron could only hear the sound of wind but not feel it.

“Who’s there!?”

He yelled into the darkness, not sure if his eyes were even open or closed.

“How did you enter this realm?”

A woman’s chilling voice sounded out next to Calron, startling him.

“Show yourself.”

Calron exclaimed, realizing that he still couldn’t see anyone around him.

“Kek, so you can’t see me. I’m still curious as to how you were able to break into this realm.”

Calron felt a cold and sharp finger tracing along his jawline, and felt a warm breath on his neck.

Starting to feel angry at his helplessness, Calron tried to use his Divine Perception once again.

“RAAAAGHHHH!”

The mind-shattering pain returned, causing Calron to desperately gasp for breath. However, in that brief instant, he saw the image of a tall and dark-skinned woman with snow-white hair.

Her slender cheekbones and full red lips were printed on Calron’s mind, a lingering memory of her unworldly beauty.

“How is this possible!?”

Calron heard a frantic cry and soon felt a soft and warm hand on his forehead.

“You bear the mark of our race… yet, you are not one of us.”

The dark-skinned woman’s voice sounded out in front of Calron, but he could sense the change in her tone. It was no longer as cold.

“You have used too much of our power and now, your body is unable to handle the stress. Hold still.”

The woman spoke, as she placed another hand on top of the one that was on Calron’s forehead and started to chant in an elusive and hypnotic language.

This feeling…

Calron felt like his mind was much lighter and even his body seemed to feel much more refreshed.

“Open your eyes.”

A soft voice drifted to Calron’s ears.

His eyes were open, but he still couldn’t see anything. Just as Calron was about to question, the woman’s voice sounded again with a trace of amusement.

“Your other eyes.”

Finally understanding what the woman was trying to convey, Calron hesitantly tried to activate the Divine Perception. A part of him was still afraid of going through that mental torture again.

However, the pain never came and instead he was greeted with the sight of the woman who had been talking to him. He was surrounded by an empty plain of blue and black rocks and even the sky above was as dark as a shadow. If not for the faint glow coming from the rocks, Calron would have found it extremely difficult to even see the woman in front of him.

“You should leave soon, as this place is not meant for you.”

The woman nodded after seeing that Calron was fine, and turned around to walk away.

“What did you do to me? And where is this place?”
