BXBX NOVEL 155 Chapter 155
Theo was now sitting cross-legged on the floor, practicing his cultivation technique to help stabilize himself and better cope with the pain. This technique should also help to better absorb the essence to nourish his own body.
"Huh?" Theo raised his eyebrows when he noticed that the "Chimera" was already completing its form and preparing to begin its attack.
"Shit…!" He thought as he tried his best to finish absorbing the essence that was still circulating through his body, working as hard as possible to level up so that he could prepare to face this Chimera.
Every second to Theo began to seem like an eternity. He began to worry more and more about his chances, no longer as confident as previously about successfully advancing to the Wizard Kingdom before the Heavenly Tribulation would begin its descent from the sky.
Theo kept his senses keen, he knew that he had to hurry. Even more, so that he needed to place his Magic Core within his Divine Sea… or rather; "His Magic Cores." After he gained his new Fire affinity, he had not noticed that he had actually created a new Magic Core of Fire surrounding his Magic Core of Lightning and Darkness.
Theo gritted his teeth tightly and came up with a risky idea, but it was the only thing he could think of right now that would help.
"Theo? What is it?" Yuki, who was inside the workshop, watching Theo go through the Heavenly Tribulation, was surprised when Theo used his Divine Sense to communicate with her.
"Yuki, I need you to get outside and go in front of the Workshop!" Theo said, hurriedly in her mind.
Even though Yuki was a bit doubtful of his plan, since she knew it would only make the Heavenly Tribulation stronger, she still immediately agreed. "Okay, I\'m coming out right now," Yuki replied and before leaving, and told the others to wait.
Shortly after Yuki left the Workshop, the Heavenly Tribulation "theft" that Theo had hoped for happened. The Chimera, which was almost formed, grew even larger.
"It worked!" Theo thought and continued to focus on advancing to the Wizard Kingdom.
Trying hard, while running short on time, Theo was now absorbing Mana from both heaven and earth while absorbing the essence he had devoured at a voracious speed. All of his senses were necessary for this process. Despite the agony, he had to feel everything while continuing to take the healing potions to repair the damage. Somehow he was managing to keep holding on to such a massive amount of energy in his body.
Despite not wanting to resort to it, Theo started calling one by one, each of the girls, beginning with Yuki, then Shina. Still not getting his advancement, he bit down hard on his lower lip and told Zaira and then Zaika to come out… yet, Theo felt that he just needed a little more to get a breakthrough. He never imagined it would be so hard. He could only sigh and ask little Yui to leave the Workshop as well.
Each time they came out, the Heavenly Tribulation that he would have to face that was already said to be the largest yet, got even larger.
"Bling!"
Out of nowhere, he felt something like cracking, and he "saw" an opening to his divine sea. He immediately began to move his Magic Cores into that opening.
Just as Theo was doing this… he saw a figure of something very similar to a huge white box the size of a white room passing through this opening, he also swore he saw "something" stuck in that fall as if it were one of the most precious good things you have ever seen in your life.
Theo was both surprised and scared at the sight. He wasn\'t expecting something like this to happen. Theo had no information that this would happen during his advancement to the Wizard Kingdom… how could he know this? Then he had searched the internet and found out.
Despite having to pay a fee, he had gone to the Dimensional Room and used the "Panic" account and paid to see information about it.
"What exactly was that now?" Theo said in confusion as he wondered about it. "Never mind, I don\'t have time for this now!" He put his full attention back on finishing his advancement.
[Full Advance!]
[Congratulations! You have advanced to the 1st Layer of the Wizard Kingdom]
"Yes! Although I want to know what that was just now, I don\'t have any time to spare." Theo thought and noticed that his Mana and power went up in great strides.
"BOOOOOM!"
Even before Theo could tell the girls to go back to the Workshop since the Heavenly Tribulation might go back to how it was before, it was too late. In that one moment of pause, the Giant Chimera of Lightning, Fire and Darkness was reflected in his eyes and had come closer and closer to him. It came closer and closer, until it was practically within his reach, their gaping maws opening to reveal countless teeth.
Even seeing all this, Theo continued to not feel the slightest hint of fear.
Instead, a strange craving had begun to pulse in every cell of his body.
The Chimera descended from above at an alarmingly explosive speed as it shook the sky.
"ROOOOARRRRRR!!!" "ROOOOARRRRRR!!!" "ROOOOARRRRRR!!!"
Its ferocious roars made the earth and the sky tremble. The Chimera continued to descend and get closer and closer to Theo. By this time, Theo had already turned into a gigantic Golden Fox, almost 20 meters high and 150 meters long.
His eyes glowed, changing colours between red and gold. Despite "seeing" the Chimera coming towards him in slow motion, he was also moving the same direction, but that was still better than not doing anything.
"Wear your level 5 Armor!" Theo shouted, hurriedly at Yuki and the girls.
"R-Right!" They nodded and did as he asked.
Using tail manipulation, Theo manifested two of his tails and made them attack towards the Chimera while at the same time, he controlled another tail to use <Devour>.
"BOOOOOOOM!" "BOOOOOOOM!"
Two loud explosions rang out, frightening everyone in Ravena City. But not only could the inhabitants of Ravenna City feel the vibration and ripples throughout space and feel the earth shake, but even the cities that were thousands of miles away could also feel the earth shake and an intense pressure wave pass through the sky over their city.
