Chapter 283 - A new system
Before the liquid was ready, there was just one more thing Lenny needed to do. He grabbed a little dagger and cut the tip of Martha's finger. Then allowed for a drop of blood to fall into the test tube.
Lenny then swirled the tube around making sure the blood and liquid were well mixed. The colour of the liquid remained the same but the blood was defiantly in there.
On the table behind him, Lenny already had a few of the other crystals going through the same process, so he would be ready to continue without slowing down.
"Open up now," Lenny said.
As Martha opened up her mouth, Lenny poured the liquid in. She could feel the liquid going through her throat and the sensation was similar to pouring thick caramel down there, only energy could be felt going through her body and she could feel it every step of the way until finally, it had entered her stomach.
A new strange sensation was felt throughout her body, her hairs were standing up and shiver was felt down her spine. The sensation was not a bad one like Lenny had said, instead it was a soothing one.
"Any second now the feeling should come and enter your body."
But Martha continued to feel the energy surround her whole body and there was no painful reaction.
Jack looked at Lenny thinking that he might have been playing some type of cruel joke on him this whole time.
"Don't look at me like that." Lenny said, "Trust me when I did this to my self the process was hell."
Finally, the energy had disappeared and left Martha's body and at the end of it, she was greeted with a surprise.
"What is this?" Martha thought.
"What's wrong, did something happen?" Lenny asked seeing the strange look on her face.
"No, it's nothing don't worry."
A message from the Red wings system had just popped up in front of her. She had no clue what this was as before she was only ever able to use the red wings system to either send messages or check who was part of the Red wings.
She had all these questions to ask but the best person for this would be Ray, the person who started it in the first place. Of course, she could have asked Lenny and it wasn't that she didn't trust him but he was not part of the Red wings and thought it was best to check with Ray first.
"Well, I guess we continue going," Lenny said.
They repeated this process of melting down the basic tier crystal and allowing Martha to drink it. Each time Martha felt the same sensation over her body and after each crystal, the system appeared with a new message.
The points kept increasing and increasing and after absorbing thirty crystals the number had finally reached 92/100.
"Strange this has never happened before, thirty crystals have been used but there have been no signs of an evolution. Do you feel like you have broken through?" Lenny asked.
"I feel stronger but not much has changed," Martha replied, then Martha thought back to the system and how it had said, 92/100. If a hundred meant an evolution then she would only need a few more crystals.
"Let's try a couple more, I feel close, I feel like something inside me is changing."
Lenny thought about it for a while and since Martha wasn't in any pain or hurt, he decided to go for it. Then after two more liquid tubes finally she had reached a hundred points.
Suddenly, Martha felt a shooting pain throughout her body. A large scream followed with it.
"Here it comes!" Lenny said, "I think she's evolving."
Martha felt like her whole body was melting from inside out. A burning fire had entered her body and she wanted to do anything to stop the pain. She struggled and struggled but Jack and Lenny made sure she was held down.
Then pain from inside her very bones itself started, when she thought the pain couldn't get any worse it just had done. Her bones were breaking down inside her and they tried to reform, however, the bones couldn't reform for some reason.
Lenny could see Martha's face going pale.
"We're losing her."
Lenny then placed his hand over Martha and searched for what was wrong inside. A white light left his hands as he aided the recovery of her body.
It seemed to work as colour started to return to her face but the problem was Lenny couldn't keep this up much longer.
"Her body, it's sucking all my mana dry, it's taking everything out of me!" Lenny shouted as he continued to feel his body go weak.
At the same time, Martha pale face was returning.
"Is there anything I can do, can you use my Ki or something!" Jack asked, desperate to help.
With Lenny focused on healing he had no time to answer Jack's question. So Jack decided to then place his hands on top of Lenny's hoping something would happen, anything.
Suddenly, energy form Jack started to leave his body and enter into Martha's. At the same time, Lenny could feel new powerful energy enter his own body.
"Is this all coming from the boy, this power is enormous just how much strength does he have?" Lenny thought, "There is only one explanation for it. He must be an alpha wolf."
With Jack passing on his energy onto Lenny. He was able to aid in the healing process. The natural process for Martha to heal was not enough but now it was working and Martha's screams started to die down.
It seemed like they had gotten through the worst part of the process as Martha started to struggle less and less and then a message appeared in front of her.
