Chapter 253 253 Stacy's Mana
Nexus, drawn to the surreal spectacle before him, moved closer to Stacy's now-immobile body. He gently placed a soft hand on her shoulder, his touch a tender and hopeful gesture. "Stacy, please wake up," he implored, his voice filled with both love and concern. He refused to abandon her, even as the situation had taken a turn beyond his wildest imagination.
Stacy's eyes, once bright and full of life, were now fully red, a manifestation of the strange entity's influence. Her body remained limp, under the complete control of the mana that had taken her form. The entity bore a resemblance to her, like a giant replica with a blindfold over its eyes and a gauze covering its mouth.
Nexus's gaze remained fixed on the strange creature, as he attempted to decipher its intentions and the enigma of its existence. The forest, with its ancient trees and silent watchfulness, seemed to hold its breath, as if it, too, were captivated by the unfolding spectacle of mystery and transformation.
The surreal entity that had emerged from Stacy's form left Nexus in a state of shock and disbelief. As he observed the strange creature, he couldn't help but wonder at the incredible and eerie display of power it possessed.
The entity, now bearing a bizarre fusion of Stacy's visage and its own otherworldly features, had about eight hands protruding from its body. Each hand wielded a distinct and ominous weapon, each more enigmatic than the last.
Nexus's mind raced with questions, and he couldn't help but scream within himself, "What is this?" His voice remained trapped within the confines of his thoughts, for he dared not make a sound in the presence of the monstrous entity that had emerged from Stacy.
The forest, a silent witness to this otherworldly display, seemed to hold its breath as well. The entity's presence defied the laws of nature, and the very air was charged with an eerie tension, as if the world itself had been drawn into a realm of incomprehensible power.
As the mysterious and menacing entity stood before Nexus, a sense of dread and uncertainty gnawed at his core. He couldn't fathom the origin or purpose of this otherworldly creature that had emerged from Stacy's form, and his mind was filled with questions.
It was at this moment that the system, with its characteristic detachment and matter-of-fact tone, decided to provide some insight into the situation. It relayed an explanation to Nexus, shedding light on the nature of the entity that had taken shape.
[This is Stacy's Mana,] the system explained, its voice echoing in Nexus's thoughts. [It has come out of her because the York bloodline that resides in Stacy has been forced out by the toxins.] The system's words held a certain finality, as if it were offering a clinical diagnosis of the situation. [On her own power, Stacy cannot activate this terrifying ability, but it can only come out to do her bidding, especially now that she is unconscious.]
The revelation brought a sliver of relief to Nexus, who had previously assumed that the bizarre entity had been formed from the toxic melding of the monster's poison with Stacy's mana.
Understanding that this entity was an extension of Stacy's own abilities, albeit one she couldn't consciously control, offered a glimmer of hope.
"Okay, that's less scary," Nexus muttered to himself, his voice tinged with a hint of reassurance.
With a renewed sense of curiosity, Nexus gazed at the figure before him, his eyes searching for any trace of Stacy within the enigmatic entity. He felt an urge to reach out and communicate with her, to establish a connection with the woman in there.
"Are you in there, Stacy?" Nexus called out, his voice filled with longing and hope. He directed his words toward the colossal figure that loomed before him, as if pleading for a response. However, the entity remained silent, its enigmatic presence offering no indication of recognition or acknowledgment
Nexus's gaze shifted from the entity back to Stacy's unconscious body, which lay nearby. He felt a surge of emotion, a complex mixture of concern and fear. Uncertain of what steps to take next, he made the decision to approach her once more, moving closer to her prone form.
With gentle and trembling hands, Nexus reached out to touch Stacy's body, his fingertips making contact with her skin. He sought to understand the nature of her condition, to discern any signs of life or awareness that might be concealed beneath the surface.
However almost immediately Stacy body jerks as she takes control over the giant mana. The eyes of the giant suddenly jerks open and with his massive hands the giant grads nexus by the hands and moves him closer .
In a desperate attempt to free himself from the iron grip, Nexus shouted, "Let me go!" The urgency in his voice was palpable, reflecting the deep concern that had gripped his heart.
However, the giant mana entity remained unyielding. Instead of releasing its hold on Nexus, it responded with a sudden and powerful jerk, its eyes snapping open with an intensity that sent shivers down Nexus's spine. With its massive hands, the entity forcibly seized Nexus's hands and drew him closer, as if beckoning him to come closer.
The sudden and overwhelming physicality of the situation took Nexus by surprise. He struggled desperately to break free, his heart pounding with a mixture of fear and determination.
"Let me go!" Nexus shouted once more, his voice filled with defiance. With every ounce of strength he could muster, he attempted to pull away from the giant entity, his muscles straining as he fought against the relentless force that held him captive.
Yet, despite his valiant efforts, Nexus found himself in a dire predicament. The giant entity's grasp remained unbreakable, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not pull away. It was as if he were trapped in a vice, with no room for escape.
Nexus's realization of his vulnerability was a sobering one. He had expended nearly all of his own cards and resources during the battle with the monstrous creature earlier. In addition to losing his cards, the entity had also drained a significant portion of the Qi from his body.
The result was that Nexus had been left severely weakened, rendering him ill-prepared for the challenges that now confronted him.
Even against a normal B-ranked mage, he would struggle to put up a fight in his current state, let alone against the formidable and mysterious force that now embodied Stacy.
As Nexus's cries for release echoed through the forest, he continued to wage a desperate struggle against the colossal mana giant that now held him captive. Beads of sweat formed on his brow as he pushed himself to the limits of his physical and mental strength, determined to break free from the entity's relentless grasp.
