"Arrghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
"Kye?!" Aria looked at him shouting and crying in pain in surprise. "What happened?" She immediately went to the ground to see if something happened to his body.
Kye kept crying as his back was itching and felt as if millions of knives were piercing the root of his wings. His forehead was on the ground while he was hugging himself to alleviate the pain. However, the only thing he did was damage his body. He kept scratching his ribs over and over until his body began to bleed.
However, even this pain couldn't be compared to the one he was feeling on his back.
Aria saw that and put him inside her bubble, only to pop out the moment Kye was fully in. "What?" She exclaimed in surprise. Never in her life had she seen such a thing happening, especially with someone who was still too weak to even see her real appearance. She tried to do other things as well, but no matter what, the water she was using either evaporated the moment it touched his body, or another occurrence that wasn't described by words. 'How can such a thing happen? His holy energy is still too weak to be able to interact with my water,' The only time something close to this happened was when she was fighting against superior angels or demons, and even when fighting them, it wasn't this degree.
Kye's wings kept twitching and expanding very slowly. His face was drenched in sweat while his voice began to be sour because of how much he had shouted. Even his eyes were now red because of how much he cried. However, it was only the beginning, as the pain in his back didn't dwell down. On the contrary, it just increased.
Kye, at this point, wasn't far from passing out. However, amidst all this pain, he still manage to think of the future, and it reinforced his resolve. The pain didn't dwell down because of that, but he at least managed to not faint. He didn't know if he would die if such a thing happened, so he tried to maintain even the slightest part of his consciousness.
And after five hours, the pain finally stopped and Kye fell to the ground. His chest, even though was facing the ground kept going up and down. His eyes were almost closed and couldn't even see his system. And once he was sure that nothing more could happen to him, he finally fainted.
Aria had watched the whole process, and only shock could be seen on her face. Not much could surprise her since she had already seen and experienced many things. Yet in a single day, Kye managed to surprise her four times. First because of who he was. And now because of three other reasons.
The first reason was that angel's wings were growing naturally, and once they became an adult, their wings were fully developed. However, Kye's wings didn't undergo such a thing. No, far from it. His wings went from their baby state to their adult state. Now on his back were two giant wings that were even bigger than his body. And Kye was now 170 centimeters, so it easily showed how long and big they were. And even so, his wings looked bigger than most angels. It was even close to higher angels.
The second reason was because of his determination. The growth of his wings had lasted for five long hours that for Kye must have been like millennia of pain. Yet, even though he was crying, shouting, and hurting himself over and over, he kept his eyes open. They were filled with determination and the will to move further. And for someone so young who probably still didn't have a long lasted goal, it was impressive.
As for the last reason which surprise her as much as who Kye was, it was for the holy energy that escaped from his body. Even though now, Kye's holy energy had returned to normal, his earlier holy energy looked stronger than even the strongest of angels she knew. Which seemed impossible. How could such a thing happen? Kye wasn't even fully an angel yet. And even so, he managed to send a shiver down Aria's spine when she saw how her water couldn't do anything to him, be it to help him or hurt him.
'First Lightbringer which even if it's sealed is still in his hand. Then the halo which seemed like a normal one at first sight, but seemed to have deep secrets behind it. Both objects are also heavily sealed by the purest of holy energy I've ever seen, and the darkest demonic energy I've seen as well. And last but not least. Wings which are bigger and stronger than most even though you're still not a real angel?' Aria frowned as she put Kye in a bubble that washed every corner of his body and healed his eyes, damaged vocal cords, and ribs as well before putting him in a comfy bed. 'Who are you, Kye?' Aria couldn't help but thought as she looked at his face filled with calmness. He looked like a cute little angel right now, far contrasting with his earlier appearance and his bone-chilling scream.'*Sigh*, I guess only time will tell. It's as clear as crystal that even him don't know anything about himself. So I'll have to wait until he knows more about himself as well.
Aria then left Kye to rest and went to attend another meeting with her.
During this time, Kye slept peacefully until he felt something on his nose. He slapped it, only to shout in pain and surprise, thus waking up immediately. "What's that?" He said with sleepy eyes, only to slowly see white feathers in front of him. "No seriously, what's that?" He reached to touch it, only to feel the place he touched resonate with his back where his wings were rooted strangely. So he stood up and went in front of the mirror, only to be shocked. "S-since when did they become that big?" Kye couldn't believe his eyes and had to rub them multiple times. He felt as if he was still dreaming. Though, after two minutes and his eyes beginning to ache because of how many times he rubbed them, he had to accept reality.
Since the sudden growth of his wings must have something to do with his system, he opened it and saw multiple windows appearing at once.
[Wings growth has ended]
[For them to grow again, you will need to evolve and reach new ranks]
[Passive skill: Flight: As long as you have enough stamina, your wings will allow you to fly wherever you want. The speed at which you will fly will depend on your agility, while their hardness will depend on your strength.]
"I-Is... Can I fly?" Even though he now had his wings for quite some time, he never thought of the possibility of flying one day. It looks like a dream.
So he immediately tried to flap his wings, only to make them move strangely. Thankfully the room had very little furniture, otherwise, he would have destroyed everything already. "It's hard. I can't even flap them normally. And since it's a passive skill, I still need to get used to it. I can't just activate them and deactivate them at will."
While moving his wings, he also looked at his status. He also put the stat point he received once he leveled up into his stamina. Like this, once he would be able to fly, he will be able to do so for a long time.
