Cycle Of Nirvana - Chapter 107
Carried by being tied to the log, Asil’s body turned to face the ground as the log turned as a result of the men’s movements, and continued to move towards the center of the strange shouts with the log the men were carrying.
He couldn’t understand what was going on. Who were these people? He, where was he? Why was he tied to a log? And where was he being taken? He couldn’t answer any of these questions. After all, all the people were shouting in strange ways, except for the young girl who just spoke properly.
After Asil had been carried away with the log for a few minutes, the men stopped and straightened the log, allowing Asil to see ahead. As Asil saw the scene before him, his eyes widened in surprise, as if they were going to pop out of their sockets.
In front of her were many women wearing two-piece dresses and many men wearing one-piece dresses. These people had formed different sized circles around something and were spinning around that thing shouting strangely. The people in the circle closest to the ‘thing’ in the middle had spears in their hands, and their spears were hitting the ground at regular intervals while turning around it. As the people in the second circle turned, they were making noises by hitting their chests and shoulders. The people in the third and also the last circle were making strange movements by raising their hands in the air and shaking them right and left. It was as if these people were casting a spell that had remained from ancient times.
But what Asil was really shocked by was not these people or their actions. What shocked him was what was found in the middle of these people!
After the four men allowed Asil to watch ahead for a few seconds, they took him back to the carrying position and took him towards the ‘thing’ in the middle. As they moved forward, the shouts in the surrounding area were also increasing:
“UGA CHAKA UGA UGA… UGA CHAKA UGA UGA… HUUUHAAA…”
Asil was soon brought to the side of the ‘thing’ in the middle, and just a few seconds after he arrived, the middle-aged man who first entered the hut jumped into the air and landed next to Asil. After landing on the ground, he turned towards the ‘thing’ around which people were circling, and after crouching at regular intervals and hitting his knees, he stood up and shouted: “The stranger has woken up! Go on, comrades! Let’s start the Lisa Isinhay Festival!”
As people turned and shouted around the ‘thing’ in the middle by making strange movements, after the middle-aged man’s words, the shouting sounds and the movements they made became much more violent.
Despite their strange behavior, Asil only had two questions on his mind right now:
Why was there a huge cauldron with a big fire burning under it in the middle, and why did they tie Asil to a log and bring him to this cauldron?
The warmth that Asil felt when he was brought to the cauldron had also naturally increased. It was easily understood that what was inside this cauldron was quite hot, thanks to the bubbling sounds that could be heard despite the noisy noises coming from around, and the steam that came out of the cauldron and increased the temperature of the air. If Asil was thrown into the liquid inside such a cauldron, he would have to rely solely on profound energy, which was quite difficult, as he had no extra protection against heat.
Just then, an old woman approached the man who seemed to be the leader of this strange tribe. Raising the stick in her hand, the woman pointed it first at the cauldron and then at Asil, then said, unlike the others, calmly but oppressively enough to be heard by all: “Leader Lewir, the preparations are complete. We can get the stranger into the Lisa Isinhay Festival! Everything is proceeding according to the prophecy! Now all we have to do is get this stranger sent by heaven into the festival and get him ready!”
The middle-aged man named Lewir immediately confirmed it with a nod: “Great Kumap, you are right in what you say! This is the first time we’ve been able to get a clue about the prophecy that we haven’t been able to get a clue about for generations! Although I don’t know if this tip is related to prophecy or not, we have no choice but to try it! Otherwise, since ‘they’ have taken action, we may soon face a very big disaster!” The man named Lewir, after talking with the old woman, turned to the four people holding Asil and shouted: “UGAAAA… ”
“UGAAAA…” The men shouted after him in the same way and suddenly threw Asil’s log into the air. When the log rose in the air for a while and reached its maximum height, it sloped and descended, and the direction it landed was right inside the cauldron!
As Asil was descending in the air with the log he was tied to and heading towards the cauldron, he finally saw the color of the liquid inside. The liquid inside the cauldron was not water, but instead something dark red in color, resembling blood. Due to the temperature inside the cauldron, large bubbles were forming in most parts of it, and when these bubbles burst, a small red fog was spreading around.
Asil entered the boiling cauldron with the sound of a splash of water. Because he was tied to a log and his movements were restricted due to Ravaslisa grass, he should not have been able to even move normally. However, this did not mean that he could not use the Profound Guiding Technique with the help of profound energy. He had used the Profound Guiding Technique without anyone noticing and directed nearby Ravokravas grass into his own mouth and ate it. So, he’s been able to move for a long time. However, he had never acted until now because he was waiting for the right time to take action against so many people. His plan was to act as soon as it was thrown into the cauldron, pour the liquid from the cauldron onto the people around and escape using the mess.
This was actually a good plan. However, Asil had completely abandoned this plan the moment he entered the cauldron. This was not because the temperature of the liquid in the cauldron was large enough to prevent him from even moving. This was because just a second after entering the cauldron, the temperature he felt had completely disappeared and was replaced by a rather strange feeling. This feeling was rather strange to describe in words. However, he had felt such a thing before. Although the two feelings were not exactly the same, what he felt when his body was getting stronger, along with the buzzing sound echoing in his head during the ‘Physical Strengthening Training’ done by Baran, was very similar to what he is feeling right now!
Asil quickly got rid of the log and stood still so that the crimson liquid inside the cauldron could penetrate into his entire body. At that moment, he did not feel any of the depressing things, such as heat.
As he remained motionless, the dark red liquid penetrated Asil’s skin and caused his skin color to turn red quickly. Then the liquid tried to penetrate through his pores and penetrate into his entire body, as if it wanted to be completely absorbed by Asil He could feel his body getting stronger every second. But after a few seconds, as the black smoke coming out of his mouth covered his body, the dark red liquid’s desire to penetrate Asil’s body stopped and instead began to strangely move away from his body. Just a second later, a gap had formed inside the cauldron where there was no liquid at the point where Asil was, and the liquid pushed to the sides exerted an immense pressure on the cauldron.
“Bang!”
With the sound of an explosion, the cauldron exploded, unable to withstand the pressure any longer, and the dark red liquid in it, along with all its heat, splashed out at the surrounding people. However, as Asil had expected earlier, this incident did not cause any commotion instead the surrounding people came to the more prominent places quickly to bathe in more dark red liquid.
When all the dark red liquid was poured onto the floor, in the area where there used to be a big cauldron, now Asil and broken pieces of cauldron were standing. The people around were not making any sounds or making any movements while looking at Asil, whose eyes weren’t open at the moment. They were just quietly watching Asil, as if they were waiting for something.
Asil slowly opened his black eyes, which glowed red for a moment, under the gaze of the people around him. This red glow had disappeared quite quickly. But it was still visible under the watchful gaze of so many people.
A man named Lewir, with careful steps, slowly stepped forward and moved towards Asil. Asil made no move as he walked towards him. Although he had previously thought that this tribe could harm him, he now understood that this was not true. They wanted to help him, otherwise why would they have tried to strengthen his body using this strange liquid? There definitely had to be a reason for this, and it was clear that if he wanted to find out this reason, he had to listen to the speech of a man named Lewir, who looked like a tribal leader.
The man named Lewir stopped after coming about two meters in front of Asil and, after smiling slightly, shouted to the surrounding people: “UGAAA…The foreigner has successfully completed the Lisa Isinhay Festival! As you can see, there is a possibility that he is the one in the prophecy! Hahaha…. Get ready well today, my friends, there is a banquet for the evening!”
