Chapter 14: White light abilities

[A month later ]

Arthur stood looking at the hand swallowed by the lion and his face was full of signs of shock, every now and then he began to touch his amputated hand and his expressions changed between confusion and happiness, he does not believe this.

A month ago, when the white light appeared again, Arthur became better, his injuries began to heal faster, currently he no longer suffers from any injury and his body is in fairly good condition, the rest of his problems are caused by lack of nutrition.

But the reason for Arthur's shock is that he discovered that his hand began to grow very slowly, he is sure that his hand was cut off from the shoulder side, but now it is cut off from the elbow side.

"How can this make sense! "In a searching and intermittent voice, Arthur asked himself, the stunned expression still visible on his face.

'Could it be that the White Light also gave me this ability?' thinking about it, Arthur found that this white light is the only thing that can offer him such an ability.

He was healing his wounds very quickly, so regeneration is not an impossible thing.

...….

[After another month]

Arthur raised his hand in the sky and signs of anxiety have covered his face, his hand has grown up to the forearm and at this rate it will only take another two months for it to fully grow again.

This may be a positive thing for Arthur, who has lost his hand but is nevertheless worried.

If they find out that he has the ability to regenerate, they will arrest him and transfer him to laboratories to do experiments on him.

This will eliminate any chance of his escape when Fisher Tiger comes.

Arthur looked at his hand and there was a crazy idea going through his mind. He thought about cutting his hand again, but hesitated and denied the idea after remembering the pain he suffered the last time his hand was cut off.

I have to hide it in any way, Arthur cut off some parts of the old blanket that the old man had, then tied his hand to his body and tightly tied it, after Arthur finished wearing his worn shirt.

From the outside he appears as just an ordinary person who has one hand and his secondhand cannot be noticed, unless someone comes into contact with him.

...…

[A week later ]

Arthur sat alone while the darkness surrounded him from all sides, the cell was very quiet and the only sound heard was the sound of water drops falling, or the sound of the footsteps of some rats that come to his cell from time to time.

Arthur spent almost 3 months without anyone visiting this cell, he even thought that they forgot about him and left him here to rot.

During this long time Arthur thought several times to escape, but he always gave up the idea and the reason is that he is still a weak person and as soon as he leaves his cell he will be arrested by the guards deployed everywhere.

During this time, Arthur worked on increasing his strength, albeit at a slow pace, he mastered the use of Shigan almost completely, while he began to learn to use Tekkai to strengthen his body and defense.

He was well educated by the old man before he died, so he understands all the details of these techniques and all he has to do now is learn and master them.

The sound of metal clashing made Arthur raise his head and look at the corridor outside the cell, which showed no sign of life months ago, a small beam of light appeared in one of the walls of the corridor.

Tension begins to overcome Arthur's heart as he sees the torch light getting bigger and bigger until a few men, including the guard James, stand in front of his cell.

They came to this cell to check if he was still alive, but they were not ready for the result they found, Arthur was sitting quietly among piles of small bones.

He has been feeding on the locusts he found all this time, although these animals are just dirty, disease-causing organisms, but they were the only thing available to him.

At first the rat meat gave him severe pain in his stomach, but he got used to it with time.

Arthur looked at the guards in front of the cell door, confused and not knowing what would happen next.

"You look healthy to me" one of the guards spoke and he was in disbelief at what he saw. they thought he had been dead for a long time.

But a short while ago, one of the guards heard strange sounds coming from this place, so they came here to see what was going on.

"Send him back to the main section, from today this slave will return to work in the quarry" the guards opened the cell door and led Arthur towards the cell where he was at the beginning.

When Arthur was being pulled by the guards, he passed by one of the windows, and the bright light passing through caused Arthur to become slightly blind.

It has been several months since he has seen sunlight so his eyes have become accustomed to the darkness considerably.

When Arthur returned to the spacious cell full of slaves and old men, he felt some freedom and at the same time hated the presence of other people.

The place was filled with the noise of the slaves ' cries and words, all this inconvenience caused Arthur's eyes to redden and he wished he could silence them.

He was used to the darkness and tranquility and his sudden move to this illuminated and noisy place made him feel sick, his eyes were bloodshot, but he calmed down and began to regain his clarity.

....

[ 5 months later ]

Arthur held the ax with his left hand and planted it in the ground with great force, his blows were steady and strong, although he uses one hand, he became stronger and more stable from the day he came to this place.

Currently, he is working very hard so that he will not be punished and taken to the pit, if that happens, his secret will be discovered.

Arthur looked around and found the same usual sight of a group of shackled slaves extracting and transporting stones while being whipped with whips.

No one has ever wondered why they are doing this, and even the reason does not matter, the stones may be objects used in construction, or all this is just a whim of the Celestial Dragons to torment these poor people.

Slash!

"I'm working hard, stop looking" James hit the whip with the ground and ordered Arthur in his harsh voice to continue his work, James's eyes were suspicious and spiteful at the same time.

He hated this slave in front of him, there was no particular reason for this hatred, but he hated the fact that he had survived so far, especially after going through several terrible things.

'Fuck this little boy, don't worry, I'll make sure I torture you well the first chance I find' An evil little smile appeared on James's face as he began to imagine Arthur's miserable cries for mercy.

"That's enough, motherfuckers," one of the slaves shouted with all his might as he started kicking crazily with tears streaming from his eyes.

"Be careful, this person has lost his mind" One of the slaves warned the people close to him, something like this is not strange to them, every now and then one of the slaves commits something stupid like attacking the guards or killing himself.

The man ran madly waving an ax in his hand, while the guards stood laughing as they watched the crazy man act in such an idiotic way.

The madman ran fast, and his escape route was the place where Arthur, bowing his head and working without paying attention to his surroundings.

When the crazy man approached the place where Arthur was standing, Arthur noticed this and tried to get away from him, with a small jump to the side, dodging the man running madly, but suddenly he collided with something behind him.

"What do you think of yourself doing?" James grabbed Arthur's shoulder, which he bumped into, gritting his teeth in anger.

But suddenly his expression changed to a small smile full of evil, he got his chance to torture this little bastard.
