The Ring of Nothingness [2]

Leon sat in his chamber with his eyes closed. 

He was shirtless, and a blue glow manifested from within his body, highlighting every vein in his body.

Ba... Thump! Ba... Thump! 

The beat of his heart quietly echoed throughout the room as his heart was also highlighted by the blue glow coming from within his body. 

It was a sight that would leave anyone breathless. 

"....." 

Just like everyone else, he underwent the 'Trial of the Forgotten Minds.' 

However, unlike them, he was able to retain his rationality. With the chalice in his body, all the mana that entered his brain was quickly absorbed by it. 

"Pftt—!" 

The silence that took over the room shattered as Leon spat a mouthful of blood. 

Drip! Drip..! 

Covering his mouth, Leon lowered his head to stare at the centipede that squirmed before him. 

"As expected."
