Chapter 20: Two Magatama Radiant Eyes! (Part 6)
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Uchiha Uranium gasped for air, his eyes etched with fear as he gazed at the gradually darkening forest around him. That previous attack had nearly crushed him, its scythe-like claws tearing him apart.
It was a close call!
The massive wound in his chest continued to radiate pain. He hadn't felt it during the adrenaline rush, but now, as he calmed down, a piercing agony washed over him. His ribs were broken, his lower body numb, likely crushed. His chest was ripped open—everything indicated he was going to die.
"I can't accept this."
The young man felt a strange sense of peace and tranquility at that moment.
Then, the tranquility faded, replaced by a fog-like fear.
He knew death was approaching, a fear of death itself.
In fact, in the previous battle, he had also faced death head-on. But at that moment, his mind was filled with the fear of failure. He had undoubtedly failed.
The slow approach of death is not pleasant at all.
The young man felt his life slipping away, quietly and without a sound.
Unconsciously, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye. He recalled his first night in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The stars in the sky shone with unparalleled beauty, revealing to him the charm of nature. But now, the stars still shone, and he was on the brink of death.
Forced to leave human society and enter the Star Dou Great Forest, a place shrouded in death, he painstakingly gathered vines for his house, but due to radiation, it quickly rotted away, and he couldn't even fill it a month.
To prevent radiation from flowing through tributaries and poisoning the surrounding environment, he dove into the lake to block the holes that led to its flow.
To ensure a longer supply of salt, every meal tasted like chewing wax, with only a hint of salt.
To drink clean water, he filtered and heated it again and again, but the strange taste remained.
He had tried so hard to live, so why, why was it like this?
Tears flowed, and who could he share the grievance and bitterness in his heart?
This wasn't the life he wanted. He shouldn't be living like this. The Wind Scythe Beast could smell blood and come rushing over at any moment. He had to act.
A tiny being roared at him from within.
"Have you really given up? Hard life didn't break you, so how could a spirit beast like this possibly do that?! Stand up!"
"Uh-ah-ah!"
The single radiant magatama in Uchiha Uranium's pupil began to spin. As the frustration and sadness in his mind resurfaced, scenes from the past spurred him on, urging him to stand and keep moving forward.
"I must not fall!"
With a roar, a second fan-shaped magatama appeared in his pupil!
A warmth instantly flowed from his eyes, and in an instant, his internal organs trembled. The previously blurry surroundings became clear, as if 360° suddenly switched to 1080°. The surrounding darkness was no longer an obstacle; he could see!
All his wounds seemed to tingle, especially in his chest and abdomen, where the tingling was intensified, as if granulation tissue were rapidly growing, accelerating the healing process.
Unfortunately, this only lasted less than a minute; his wounds didn't heal; they simply sped up the process, stabilizing the bleeding.
Not only did his physical fitness improve, but his previously numb lower limbs also regained some feeling. The addition of the Radiant Eye Magatama had actually boosted his physical fitness and brought him new strength!
Gritting his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain throughout his body, Uchiha Uran stood up, pushed the wind sickle beast corpse away from his thigh, and moved his legs, trying to regain some feeling.
"Great! I can move!"
Feeling his toes move, Uchiha Uran's face lit up with joy. This proved that his bones below the pelvis were still intact.
Great! Soul masters are indeed much stronger than ordinary soul masters, and after two bouts of the Radiant Eye Magatama, his strength was even greater than other soul masters. If it were an ordinary soul master, he would probably have suffered shattered lower body fractures.
Just as he bent his knees, a sudden, sharp pain nearly made him bite his tongue, casting a shadow over the boy's heart. He hadn't suffered any broken bones, but he feared they might be.
Gritting his teeth, he first wrapped the bandages from his medical kit around himself more than ten times, until they were exhausted, ensuring the wound in his stomach wouldn't burst open and spill his internal organs.
He then bound his upper body tightly with clothing to hide the wound.
Finally, he turned sideways, enduring the numbness and tingling in his legs, and slowly stood up.
A quarter of an hour later, he clung to a nearby tree trunk, breathing heavily, as he watched the wind sickle beast's corpse begin to behave strangely.
A faint purple light began to gather above the wind sickle beast's body. He had only seen it when he first obtained a spirit ring, but now, for the second time, it was under these circumstances.
The light was pale, indicating that this female wind sickle beast had only recently reached the level of a thousand-year spirit beast.
Even without touching it, the young man could clearly sense the immense energy contained within.
"Ahem, if the surroundings were safe, I'd give it a try and absorb this spirit ring. Anyway, in my condition, without medicine, I'd soon be infected and die."
Uchiha Uranium let out a wry laugh. He leaned against the tree trunk, picked up some branches from the ground, and simply processed them, using them as crutches to prop himself up. He'd come up with a plan that wasn't a solution.
Climb a tree.
Of course, it wasn't just a simple climb, as the wind blades had a long range. He wanted a tall tree, preferably one with thick branches so he could tie himself to it and sleep peacefully.
But climbing up would be extremely exhausting, and his current condition was precarious. If he moved too much, the wounds, which had barely stopped bleeding, would soon burst.
As he slowly left, the wind sickle beast's corpse began to ooze blood, mixing with the blood left by Uchiha Uranium. Slowly, the surrounding vegetation began to wither, the ground eroded, and the corpse began to decay rapidly.
Uchiha Uranium, having reached the twentieth level of spirit master, was radiating increasingly powerful energy. Previously, it hadn't been so rapid.
He was unaware of all this, still researching the new abilities he'd gained with his dual magatama.
As expected, even a mutated Sharingan still possessed the original's abilities: dynamic vision, cloning, and illusions. If I'm not mistaken, he must have gained the ability to clone, given his heightened vision, allowing him to see through other people's attacks.
But this was Douluo Continent, where everyone else was using spirit skills, and he didn't possess their martial spirits, so what good was copying them?
But when he activated his dual magatama radiation eyes once again, everything around him changed.
