As those words resounded in his heart, a change occurred. His bloodline went turbulent and started flowing through his body with greater vigor than before.

The change was as such that his mana core was unable to contain and hence, it caused Ray to clutch his chest in pain. That was till the mana core stabilized and got used to the change.

"Just what is happening?" Ray muttered as the pain increased more and more. His face concorted in a grimace as he threw the blankets off and slowly removed Aella's hand off his body.

With care, he stepped out of the bed and walked to the empty space in the middle of the room. Then, looking down his body; he saw his muscles twitching as the spasms spread and the small twitches grew. Ray felt his whole body go out of his control.

Trying to look into the cause of his problem, he closed his eyes and concentrated on his mana core. As he did, he saw the mana core spin rapidly while a radiant glow enveloped it whole.

The bloodline energy seemed to be flooding the mana core and the mana pathways of his body. This caused them to swell and in turn the pain spread through his chest.

However, this did not explain he uncountable spasms throughout his body. Therefore, Ray concentrated deeper in his body and searched through his vein, arteries and other components of his body.

Soon enough, he found the issue. It was none other than his own blood that had been the cause of this madness.

But why?

That was the question that worried Ray. He knew that his powers weren't related to blood in anyway possible and it acted as a transport of nutrient for his body.

This was a matter of high concern and therefore, Ray decided to contact the experts themselves.

Reluctant as he was, there was no other choice. Therefore, Ray let go of his ego and anger as he opened the connection to his consciousness.

As he did, a voice laced with sarcasm spoke,

"Cant live without me now? Huh?"

Hearing Aurora, Ray really felt like killing her and he was right to do so. First they hid things from him and now that he needed help, they had the audacity to be sarcastic.

The least they should have done would be to apologize, help him and then explain everything to him but just look at the them.

As he controlled the seething anger within him, another voice sounded. It was the scholarly voice of the calm headed Void Dragon,

"So your blood has started to act strange," Mag'ladroth spoke calmly.

Ray simply nodded. By now, the pain had increased by several folds and he couldn't even speak. Instead, he felt like vomiting blood the moment he opened his mouth. Therefore, he simply kept shut.

"I understand," Mag'ladroth said as he explained, "Actually, this is a good thing,"

"Huh?" Confused of the words he just heard, Ray spilled even more blood. His body convulsed in pain as he fell to the ground.

"Thudd,"

Hearing the loud voice, Aella woke up in surprise. As she looked around, she found her love on the floor in a pool of his own blood.

By now, Ray's condition had gotten even worse. His orifices bled continuously while his skin peeled off continuously. As if a reptile going through ecdysis, Ray's whole body was pale.

She hurried forward and came close to him. Her eyes were full of fear as she touched Ray's face. Only to find him cold to touch.

The terror in her eyes grew as Aella suddenly shrieked in fear. Her voice travelled through the whole hall as others heard her scream.

"What happened?" Sirius's ears perked as he heard Aella's scream. Even though it was barely audible, for a wolf like him; it was not a problem.

As he snapped his head in the direction of Ray's room, someone else was also alerted. It was Kashish. She had felt some sort of energy build up in the room and that wasn't it. The energy was strange, so strange that it made her whole body tremble in fear.

"What is it?" She thought as she looked towards the others.

Sirius went to others and explained what he heard. This alerted everyone as Ray's mother also nodded. She had noticed the shift in Ray's mood earlier. His expression and the energy that surrounded him.

However, she didn't think much of it and simply thought that he was tired or it were his injuries acting up. Therefore, she let him be but this revelation was as bad as it could be.

Her heart seized as another thought came to her mind, "What if Ray was attacked?" As the thought grew, she ordered others to take guard while Ray's team followed her.

Taking a step forward, her feet cracked the concrete floor of the hall as she simply disappeared the next moment. Right after, a gust of wind was created as it sent everything nearby flying.

It seemed that she hadn't held her powers back anymore. After all, why would she. It was her son in question and she didn't want to lose him at any costs.

Ray's teammates did the same, they utilized all their powers as several shadows emerged from the ground. The shadow wolves guarded the whole hall as emergency procedures started.

No one was allowed to go anywhere. They were to stay in their places until further notice. Then, Ray's team disappeared into a blur of different colors. They all headed towards Ray's room.

Meanwhile, Ray had lost his consciousness while his body was going through a strange change. The change was same as the one he went through when his mana core had been refined back then but this time, it was different.

His mana core was not being refined and nor was his body going through a drastic development.

So why was there such change to his body?

Why was he all bloodied?

No one knew what was happening. Not even Ray himself. The only ones that might know of something were those who stayed in his consciousness but even that connection was broken.

Strangely enough, Ray couldn't access his consciousness and was now in a dark place that even he didn't know of.

All he saw was the never ending darkness that reigned in every direction he looked at. Not knowing what to do, Ray closed his eyes. The darkness seemed contagious and from what he knew, the peace of his mind was the best thing to keep his sanity intact.

As he meditated, a restless thought came to him.

'What if he had died? And this was something after that?'

But he denied it right away. After all, he knew himself and he knew that he couldn't die from such a minor thing. Also, Ray knew his body very well and from what he perceived before he lost consciousness, it was that he wasn't in any imminent danger but rather, something strange. A change was taking place and that change hurt like hell.

"Sighhhh…" Ray exhaled as his thoughts turned silent. He was finally at peace.

On the other hand,

The change in Ray's body continued. His blood circulated nonstop and with such speed that his blood vessels were overwhelmed and were on the verge of exploding.

But that wasn't it, his blood was circulating backwards. And that was the cause of all this. There seemed to be a strange will inside his blood. As if to defy all odds and mechanisms and to not be bound by anything.

It was strangely similar to what Ray had just thought of and made his goal a few moments ago.

As for the destination of his blood. It was the mana core. His blood was traveling up to his mana core and for Ray's body, it spelled even more damage.

Within that time, Ray's mother had arrived the room and shortly after, his teammates had also arrived.

At first, they looked at the bloodied scene in the middle of the room. The grotesque image in front of them made many vomit while the others just moved their face away.

Ray's body was covered in a thick liquid that smelled as horrible as it could while his blood spread through the floor. Along with all that, they could hear his bones breaking continuously and then repairing themselves.

Ray's mother wasn't concerned by any of this. She stepped forward and crouched by Ray's side. She looked at Aella, who was panicking all over, tears streaming down her beautiful face as the girl seemed to be losing her sanity for the care of her love.
