The Bored Immortal

But just as Azu was trying to get up, he accidentally lost his balance and had his face fall onto something warm and soft that left him stupefied for a moment, but it was the pleasant fragrance that left him in a daze.

"Ah! Azu!" Tara became flustered seeing that Azu's face fell on top of her soft chest though she knew it was by accident, especially since she knew Azu was not that kind of person.

So she gently raised his head with a reddened face and examined him to see if he was really fine. However, seeing his face, she couldn't help but fall into a daze yet again, seeing a face she was not clearly used to but at the same time retained certain features from before.

Azu's vision had cleared up by now and saw the face of an unforgettable beauty whose radiance could make the stars and moon pale in comparison.

She had light pink lips that looked as soft as the petals of pink roses and soft-angled arched eyebrows. Her skin was as radiant as the moon and long silky black hair that reached till her buttocks.

Only when he saw that she was wearing a silver breastplate which was covering her upper body alone, revealing some of her bountiful breasts and navel.

He could see that she was in an armor attire with a silver coil and greaves that revealed her soft and alluring thighs.

Her radiant blue eyes had an otherworldly charm, and she was looking at him with a concerned yet happy look. He also felt happy to see her and couldn't help but smile seeing her face.

"Azu...are you feeling okay now?" Her gentle and mellow voice that seemed to have the charm to soften anyone's soul made Azu finally come out of his disorientation and look at her as he said with a smile, "I am feeling alright...In fact...I never felt so good in my life before…" As Azu said this, he could feel that he was feeling quite different now though he couldn't understand what exactly changed.

But when he got a hold of his senses, he realized that his perceptions were beyond his imagination. He could even see the tiniest details of his surroundings, crystal clear, and his ears were able to pick up the slightest flutters of the butterflies outside.

And the natural and delicate fragrance coming from Tara not only made his mind feel fresh, but he could also see the veins running through her body, clearly showing the flow of her blood. But suddenly, the network of veins disappeared as Tara noticed something, wondering if Azu was using some ability, making her feel vulnerable.

He was not used to having such a heightened sense of perception and had to focus his mind to stop the inflow of this unnecessary information and didn't notice Tara's expression flickering. He felt that maybe he was seeing things because of falling sick.

He looked around as he asked, "Where is Eli? I remember she was with me...wasn't she?"

Tara nodded while trying her best to control the overwhelming emotions she was feeling upon seeing how perfectly alright he was, "She...had gone out with her grandmother to collect some herbs down the hill for you. They will be back soon. I am sure she would be very happy and thrilled to see you like this."

Azu nodded but seeing how his surroundings were in a mess, especially the shattered pavilion and cracked ground, he couldn't help but wonder if some kind of earthquake happened here. Even the evening sunlight was entering through the shattered roof, which was quite open now.

"What happened here?" Azu asked in a confused tone. Looking around him, it look like some kind of big fight or a storm took place here.

Tara had a speechless look for a moment before saying with a smile, "Don't worry about it, Azu. There was a bit of an accident, but nobody got hurt. You being okay is proof of that."

Azu felt it weird though he left it at that since nobody got hurt.

"Actually...I...have something to say…" Tara said in a low voice as she bit her lips.

"Azu!" But suddenly, a girl's shout from behind startled the two and saw that it was Eli who was rushing towards Azu while her grandmother, Erina, a graceful woman looking in her fifties despite her true age, was following Eli with a smile, seeing that Azu had woken up.

Azu's face lit up seeing a girl with beautiful silver hair that draped down her back like a river spilling across her back. Her vivid crimson eyes were as beautiful and lovely as the red water lilies; her lips the same color as her eyes flawlessly complemented her sharp and exquisite features that could completely spellbind any living being.

Her skin was as pure and white as snow, making her look even more alluring.

She was wearing a black leather corset that wrapped tightly around her slender curves and ample breasts with a beautiful black fabric flowing down from her hips, covering the sides of her thigh.

It seemed like even Eli was in a battle outfit, making him feel worried, thinking what these two were up to while he was out.

However, right now, he was happy and excited to see her and got up, only to have Eli slowly walk towards him and look at him closely from top to bottom as she said in an overwhelmed voice, "Azu...I...thought I lost you…I am happy that you are alright..." Eli couldn't help but tear up emotionally as she still couldn't believe that all their hard work paid off.

"Eli…" Azu unconsciously stepped forward, wondering how to thank her, but at the same time, he noticed something strange. Eli's head was only reaching till his chin, and he had to look down to see her when usually it was him who had to look up to see her. He then noticed that everything around him looked smaller or at least he felt taller way more than he ever dreamed.

He knew Eli was really tall since her height reached around 185 cms and if she was only reaching till his chin now, didn't that mean he was at least over 200cms tall?

Eli noticed that Azu was strangely silent and realized that he still hadn't taken a look at himself.

She let go of him and said as she grabbed a large mirror from the corner, "Azu...some things happened while you were asleep, and certain changes took place in you. So don't get too surprised or worried since only good changes have taken place. Here, have a look at yourself."

Eli had kept this mirror ready since she knew Azu might need it after waking up to see that he was no longer the same as before. She didn't know how he would process this change and wanted to be there for him when he realized it.

Tara also expectantly looked on as Azu stood before the mirror, his eyes widening from astonishment in seeing a person he could barely recognize.

The young man he was seeing in the mirror was not only over 2 meters tall but had a devilishly charming face with well-defined and chiseled features.

But one noticeable feature that caught his eyes was the color of his own eyes!
