Chapter 75: The Other Me Must Be Crazy!
"Next is.." Desire spoke as he looked at himself once more.
Although he did fix himself, Desire didn't actually heal his body in the correct way.
It was just..fix.
His body was just fixed, but his injuries, pain, or whatever it was still there.
And Desire could see it as he felt the organs in his body stop functioning.
"Holy shit. So my situation was this bad.." Desire spoke as he widened his eyes.
He then used his senses to try and feel his organs in his stomach, and he immediately became horrified.
After all, none of the organs on his stomach were working!
No..was it more correct to say that none of them were in the proper shape?
The stomach, intestines, liver, bladder, kidney, and many more organs were dead.
And what was more surprising for Desire was that he found out that in his body, there was no blood!
Right, there was no blood circulating in his blood to keep him alive!
And that didn't end there at all.
"My lungs too.." Desire spoke as he touched his chest lightly.
He didn't touch it too roughly as he knew what was going on underneath his skin.
After all, his rib cage was..hell.
His lungs didn't have to be mentioned, and his heart wasn't even beating anymore.
And what was worse was that..
"My spine is..gone? What the fuck?"
Desire found out that his spine was gone, but when he looked at his body more carefully, he soon found out where it was.
It was stuck somewhere down his foot.
However, how could something so big and so solid like a bone fit in something so small?
The reason was simple.
His spine that used to support his body was now in ashes, clogging some veins down his body.
Although it is crazy that parts of his body became like this, it is perfectly reasonable if you think about what happened to him.
His Core burned, and the Fire-Attribute mana got inside of his body. What's more, outside of his body had to endure the hotness of the Burning Air trial.
Of course, that doesn't justify what happened to his bones and organs.
However, during the time Desire was breathing like a madman, the Fire-Attribute mana actually entered his lungs and burned his insides slowly.
That was one of the reasons why he couldn't hold it anymore.
However, because of his Core being in fire, Desire didn't notice it.
"What the hell was I doing for me to end up in this state?" Desire spoke as he shuddered in fear.
It was quite strange to see him shudder in fear like this when he was the one who almost killed Fireboy.
However, that was just how horrifying what happened to his body was.
And as if that weren't enough, Desire found out that his Core was still burning.
And because of that, Desire couldn't help but shout.
"W-what the fuck!? Am I a masochist or something?!"
Masochist.
That was the only thing Desire could call himself now. After all, even the smallest injury that Desire has on his body would be enough to kill a person.
And that was just the smallest injury. Desire's biggest injuries don't even need to be mentioned.
And when Desire finished going all over his body, he soon spoke as he shook his head with a horrified look on his face.
"I-I have 1569 injuries..?"
After all, what he said was just that unbelievable for him.
The total number of injuries that Desire has on his body was 1569. Of course, his injuries before Desire fix his physical body was included in that number.
'Just what did I do to have this kind of body?' Desire thought as he concentrated within himself.
Although there were many injuries on his body, Desire focused on the Core.
He then swam towards his Core using his consciousness, and while Desire was traveling with his consciousness, he only had one thought.
'I must be crazy. Yup, that's it. I am crazy.'
Crazy.
That was the only thing he had on his mind as he thought about how bad his condition was.
In fact, it was actually weird that he was even alive at this point.
What's more, he was even able to perform magic and actually make the Spirit of Fire retreat with this condition.
The fact that Desire could do that is a miracle!
However, that's not the reason why Desire was calling himself crazy.
It was because Desire actually let himself be in this kind of condition.
And when Desire arrived at his Core, he shouted with all his might in his mind.
'The other me must be crazy!!!'
Desire shouted once more in his mind as he put out the fire.
He just used the No-Attribute mana that was swimming around and made the fire go away as if it were nothing but trash.
Well, the fire was indeed trash for this Desire.
Anyway, when Desire put out the fire, he quickly went to look for cracks or problems in his Core.
And when he did, another curse resounded out in his mind.
'Fuck! It's cracked!'
After all, Desire's Pure Blue Core had cracks all over it.
Although Desire didn't know any detailed knowledge about Cores, he knew that it was bad for Cores to have cracks or damages like these.
And even the current Desire didn't know how to fix this.
That was why he was in a dilemma. However, not for long as he went back to his body.
It seems that this Desire was decisive, unlike the normal one.
Desire then sat on the floor with his tattered body.
It was nonsense that he was able to move with that body, and it was insanity that Desire could stand the pain.
Well, it was already fantasy if you think about how his body still looks to be normal with his bones, organs, and even heart not working.
Anyway, as Desire sat down, he closed his eyes as he spoke.
"I'm losing time."
