Its mind seed to race, as though calculating an escape from this tornt before speaking again.
"As we can all see, they are not yet of age," it said coldly.
"But we cannot afford to wait a thousand years—or even a century less—for the new reincarnations of the gods’ totem fathers."
It raised its staff slightly.
"Therefore, I propose five years. That is enough."
"I accept,"
The man with the golden crown replied after a brief pause.
"Wait,"
The muscular man interjected. "Won’t they be killed before then?"
"No,"
The skeletal figure answered sharply. "Unless soone wants to unveil the True Blood Seeker, no being born of twilight shall perish."
It slamd its silver blood staff against the ground.
The entire hall trembled as an ominous presence washed over everyone. [Previous Chapter before]
During the following days, my experints went from simple errors to countless failures. It felt like I was tackling everything from the wrong angle.
I couldn’t figure out what was wrong, but I knew sothing had to be—either with , or with the path I had been following all along just to reach a reasonable result.
The worst part was that the feeling of empowernt I had felt before was completely gone, sa was my effort of trying to replicate it.
There was no flow of Mana from my Mana core coursing through my body either. None of this was good news, yet no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t make any sense of why I was failing every single damn ti.
Slowly, I began thinking back to the very first ti I had felt that sensation. It wasn’t new to —I had felt it once before while practicing the ditation technique.
It was the exact sa sensation I experienced when I subconsciously activated cursed Intimidation, although the feeling was more intense nevertheless it was the sa feeling.
That was when a thought struck .
What if I could recreate that sa sensation by doing sothing like a reverse cultivation of the ditation technique? Although it sounded a bit dangerous when thinking about it deeply, but it was better than nothing.
I couldn’t wait any longer. I decided to test my theory imdiately.
After so ti, I opened the system interface and went straight to the S, B, and T panels.
Once I was sure no one was awake, I activated the ditation technique.
Soon, I began to feel a faint tinge spread throughout my body. Energy—no, to be precise, Mana—gently moved and condensed within my Mana core.
The more I practiced, the clearer my perception beca, and the more Mana I could sense gathering inside my body.
However, the longer I continued, the more I realized just how little control I actually had over the Mana within my core.
Even so, I refused to give up. I tried to mimic that feeling of empowernt while focusing on reversing the flow of Mana entering my body. I clung desperately to the last trace of that familiar sensation my perception could pick up, trying to make it stay at all costs.
I wanted it to last forever.
Then, suddenly, sothing clicked inside .
I didn’t know what it was, but I kept my focus locked onto whatever strand of Mana remained. Strangely, I felt a unique connection suddenly form between and that lingering sensation.
Even after I closed my eyes, the connection didn’t stop. It spread from my head throughout my body, and I slowly began to emit a dim halo of Mana. The sphere of Mana transford into energy and flowed into , making my body feel increasingly empowered.
It felt as if sothing deep within was taking shape. The connection beca ingrained into my very fibers, and obsessively, I began repeating that sensation in my mind.
Still repeating the feeling, I slowly opened my pale eyes and stared ahead. What I saw left completely flabbergasted. Notifications floated in front of , and surrounding my body were dim lights—no, a multitude of them—hovering and gradually growing brighter and stronger.
Barely a second later, just before exhaustion drained the last of my Mana and pulled into sleep, a smile slowly crept onto my face.
[Hidden Quest has been Completed]
After sleeping for an unknown amount of ti, I slowly woke up, the events from before replaying clearly in my mind. I took note of my surroundings—it seed like it was already morning.
How long did I sleep?
I didn’t know exactly how long I had been out, but it had to be longer than usual. Ti in this world didn’t follow precise asurents—only morning, afternoon, and night.
Morning was marked by the crowing of roosters. Afternoon by the sun rising high in the sky. Night ca with the setting sun, the sluggishness of farm animals, and the closing of small flower buds.
Since it was still likely morning, I guessed my family wouldn’t be too worried about my unusual sleep, so I pushed the thought aside.
[Hidden Quest has been Completed!]
’Huh? This is...?’
I stared at the notification. It was one of the last things I rembered seeing before passing out from Mana exhaustion.
