Chapter 230 Chapter 230 - Body
As Aiden was going in Isolde\'s direction, he made sure to tell her that she needed to keep making noise if she wanted the two of them to actually find one another.
"Isolde?" uttered Aiden, hearing Isolde\'s voice a couple of meters away from him.
Without wasting any more time, Aiden felt the touch of a hand and without much surprise, it was Isolde\'s hand.
"Finally I have someone to talk to," she muttered, clearly not in a great state.
It seemed that the act that she had been putting on when visiting Aiden where Dan was had been all but an act as she was in clear distress over this whole thing.
However, wanting to comfort her, Aiden tried his best to sound as sincere as possible as he mustered, "It\'s the same for me really."
\'Is it really though?\' thought Isolde as she felt absolutely no emotions from that answer, nonetheless she didn\'t comment on it as she was happy to have Aiden right beside her once again.
Maybe he would be able to actually figure out this whole thing.
"Did you figure out what she meant by that, at the end," questioned Isolde as she had absolutely no idea of what it could remotely mean.
However, it seemed that being able to talk to Aiden once again would truly help greatly.
"I did, actually," started Aiden, feeling the joy from Isolde\'s touch.
She had held tightly on his arm when he had said that, so he knew the emotions that she was currently feeling. Well, he could guess pretty well.
"What is it?" she questioned immediately, realizing that Aiden wasn\'t saying anything about what he had figured out.
"Well, it\'s nothing much really. She said that the key to seeing once again isn\'t in our eyes, so isn\'t obvious where it would be?" asked back Aiden, truly expecting Isolde to figure it out.
However, when all he got in response he realized that she didn\'t have any idea of what he could do.
"No, it isn\'t," replied Isolde who was still in the dark as Aiden had literally repeated what Evelynn had said before leaving.
Why did he expect her to figure it out without any help?
She wasn\'t some magic being that could read minds.
\'Well, I guess she isn\'t as smart as I thought,\' said Aiden to himself, as he had expected her to figure it out right away.
It wasn\'t complicated at all, after all.
"Well, I guess I\'ll tell you. It\'s simple, if the key isn\'t our eyes, then it\'s the rest of our body," announced Aiden as if it was nothing more than a simple fact.
Isolde hearing this stayed silent at the start, trying to comprehend what Aiden had just said.
Then, a few seconds later, it seemed that she had grasped this whole thing as she responded, "Hm, it actually makes sense, I don\'t know why I didn\'t think of that before."
However, the more she thought about what Aiden had just said, the more she seemed to be realizing something.
\'Isn\'t that hint extremely vague? Shouldn\'t it be a little bit more precise?\' she thought, unsure if it was all there was to that hint.
However, no matter how hard she thought about it, she simply couldn\'t figure out anything, She would just have to let Aiden figure out this whole thing.
It would make things simpler for her after all.
Nonetheless, she would still try to help him as much as she could, she didn\'t want to depend on him that much after all.
"Alright, so what do you propose we do first?" asked Isolde, waiting for Aiden\'s guidance.
She knew how well his guidance had worked in the last challenge, so she hoped that it would be the same thing once again.
"Let me think for a bit, I need to actually think things through," answered Aiden, as he decided to walk away from Isolde for a bit as he didn\'t want to feel that constant sensation on his arm as he was making him distracted from his real goal.
If he was right, then he would need his whole concentration to figure this whole thing out and the one thing that he didn\'t need was Isolde\'s voice always disturbing him which would simply be extremely unhelpful.
Then, as he was completely alone without the slightest exterior sensation, he started to concentrate on his own being.
Feeling everything there was to feel about him, from the feet all the way to his head.
He started feeling his heartbeat which was beating at the same pace again and again. Then, it was his breathing, he felt every single muscle of his chest moving up and down without rest.
After that he started feeling his every thought, he felt everything that was happening right into his very brain.
But, that wasn\'t the end of it, as Aiden sat down in a meditative position. He wanted to see what was happening to him inside his body.
What was happening to those chains which were hiding so many secrets, what was happening to his mana or his qi?
He needed to know all of those things as he felt that this was the key to this challenge, actually learning about every single fibre of one\'s body.
Aiden felt that something else would be awakening from within him when he learned those things, he was sure of it.
That\'s why he dismissed those useless thoughts as he dived right inside his body, more precisely toward his heart where the chains were closely located.
Then, as he approached that space where he knew that a lot of unknown things were being restricted, he started hearing various sounds which didn\'t seem to make any sense.
It seemed to be chains hitting one against the other.
\'What\'s happening here?\' thought Aiden as he started accelerating, wondering what was happening to those chains of his which were clearly there to restrict.
The more he thought about it, maybe those chains had been the ones restricting the old Aiden this entire time.
