I continued to grit my teeth for only just a few seconds, and just like that, the pain was gone, and I was left lying there, huffing and puffing, trying to regain my breath.
"You could've given me more of a warning," I snarled, slowly standing up and feeling a new sense of movement from my back.
After all of the runes had been placed on top of my spine and engraved into my skin, it felt like my back was constantly restricted by a metal pipe.
Bending it didn't hurt, but it just felt stiff.
No matter how much stretching I did, it never disappeared… until now.
"Alright, get up, boy. It's time to do some actual training… I'm gonna turn you into the ultimate weapon whether you like it or not,"
Ares unleashed a sadistic smile as he walked up to me, grabbed the back of my shirt and yanked me onto my feet, planting me firmly on the smooth marble floor.
