Chapter 129 No Gain, Without Pain (5)
'Well, I suppose that answers that question,' bringing a piece of chimera bacon to his mouth and chomping down with a satisfying crunch, Aoni watched as Nyria ravenously devoured an entire pile of scrambled eggs without batting an eye.
"Om nom nom nom OMMM nom nom"@@@@
"Chom Chom Chom,"
Never mind Glacia, who had her face flat in the stone bowl, Nyria seemed to enjoy the breakfast just as much, albeit at a significantly slower pace than her sister.
"Is it good?" Aoni asked with a slight aversion to his floof's horrible eating habits.
"Gaommm om nom!" even with her face smashed into the bowl, the floof somehow mustered a half-assed gao, not even bothering to look up.
"Chee! Crunch crunch."
'It's tasty, brother; what did you call these things again?' The precious birb's voice entered Aoni's head as she held up a strip of bacon and crunched away.
"Bacon, normally, it's made from a meat called pork, so the taste is a bit different, but it's still a thin strip that, when cooked the right way, has the perfect crisp to softness texture," Aoni said while munching away on his own strips of bacon.
Unlike the two of his summons, who had their average-sized portions or the equivalent of what three grown men could devour, Aoni had more than twice the amount they had in their bowls.

Snapping his eyes shut and focusing intently on his body, the first thing Aoni noticed was something akin to a faint flicker of flames slowly building within his chest.
It was like a candle barely holding strong in a windstorm associated with the Lad's breathing; however, unlike that scenario, wherein the flame would fight to hang on, this spark was growing from a candle to a raging inferno that coursed through every muscle fiber in Aoni's body.
With the heat came a searing pain; however, due to his experiences yesterday, along with the aid of his E+ Pain resistance, it was nothing more than a stinging sensation to Aoni, something between getting smacked across the face with an open palm and being flicked with a rubber band.
Since his mind was fully alert to what was happening this time around, by the time he realized his body was completely paralyzed, Aoni didn't have much reaction to it, and in contrast to what happened the first time, he sat perfectly upright.
Even so, what he COULDN'T control was the rapid and random twitches and spasms coursing through his muscles as they repeatedly tensed and loosened in targeted areas.
As the heat spread throughout his body, each zone of his muscular system was activated and pushed to the point of complete eradication.
Inflate, swell, swell, tear, shred, burst, regenerate. It was a singular cycle, and with each completion, Aoni could tell he was getting ever so slightly stronger.
