--- Chapter 155 ---
Watching the seawater level drop down to the ankle, Huo Yuhao smiled in satisfaction because Khiron did a fantastic job on the drainage system.
It's been two days since the sudden flood attack from the monster race, and the land around Black Pearl Castle is covered in a heavy amount of salt, making vegetation die quickly.
Besides the row of trees around the castle that Rosa had grown, no plants are detected for several thousands of miles down to the open sea. Huo Yuhao felt an unpleasant premonition about this situation but knew that essential resources such as food and dicine weren't a problem.
After all, Huo Yuhao solved the problem with Jungle Dungeon 14 months back. It was the best decision he made to keep the Black Pearl Castle kicking on and alive.
Talking about the problem, they received a call from the Admante Family.
The current family head, Alexandra von Admante, suspiciously questioned rcedes and Clara's absence repeatedly, telling them to return ho within a week.
Even though Huo Yuhao doesn't want to let his pawns away, Alexandra is a peak 9th Class Devil Warrior with insane Devil Force and was "faintly." rumored to have raw potential to reach the legendary 10th Class Realm.
Huo Yuhao hated this feeling, but Alexandra felt more threatening than Ogre King he had fought in the "Great One's trial.". It may be Theomars's instinct to survive that tries to warn him.
He has to beco stronger and enslave the other sisters, making it easier for him to defeat Alexandra. That's the only way.
Theomars 4th and 5th sisters are twins. They are 20 years old and have low 9th Class Devil Warrior Realms, including powerful Devil Forces to manipulate heaven and earth. Technically speaking, Weather and Mountain.
If it wasn't for seniority, they could have entered the Karuta Empire's warrior association and beco a famous duo.
"rcy, Clara. Co here." Huo Yuhao comnted while chewing on dinosaur jerky.
"Master~!!"
Huo Yuhao glanced at them and continued, "I have important jobs for you two. It's simple and easy enough for you two to accomplish."
"I want you to make Harmonia and Triana interested in visiting at Black Pearl Castle. Use any possible thod without attracting Alexandra von Admante's attention. That bitch's sense is sharp."
"Any possible thod..." rcy mumbled, her red eyes glimring with amusent.
"Anything?" Clara tilted her head.
Huo Yuhao grinned indifferently and answered, "Yes, Anything."
...
...
Five days passed, and Huo Yuhao finally broke into the low 9th Class Devil Warrior realm with the help of rcedes and Clara. Dual Cultivating with the lower strength benefited him a lot.
He never experienced this in the howorld because his cultivation is too high, and his Spirit Energy is way purer than anyone. Theomars von Admante is different, he's talented, but everything was "unfortunately." taken away from him.
Simply put, Theomars doesn't have enough luck like him.
Also, System.
Well, Evo hasn't helped Huo Yuhao much in this Ergency Quest. The system is more like a monitor for him now.
Inside a well-lighted room, Huo Yuhao opened the Fairy King's Canvas and rolled down the scroll, revealing a clean sheet. It's not paper or leather, but sothing different.
Huo Yuhao activated All-Transforming Ink and watched the liquid dripping from his index finger.
"Tracing..." He closed his eyes and rubbed the ink across the canvas, imagining the most basic 1-dinsional thing.
A line.
"Okay."
He opened his eyes and saw a literal line forming into a solid object, rolling off the canvas. Feeling the confidence building up, Huo Yuhao continued to 2-dinsional objects and 3-dinsional objects.
A square and a cube manifested.
["Tracing." has leveled up]
[Tracing(E)]
"It's working. That ans I could apply White Room's artistic knowledge to Tracing." Huo Yuhao sat in the lotus position, recalling his mory as Putra Indra Santoso.
His 29 years' worth of life flashed slowly, making him experience the nostalgia, agony, and happiness he had buried for a while.
Drip!
"Huh?" Huo Yuhao unknowingly cried, touching ink from the corner of his eyes. He tried to wipe it off, but the ink kept pouring out with strange emotion.
He tries to recall sothing.
Sothing.
Sothing important to Putra.
"Mom?" He couldn't rember her face.
Her voice.
Mother's presence with Putra in the past.
All of them seed to disappear one after another.
"Wait... What's mom's na again?" Huo Yuhao isn't talking about Huo Yun'er. He spoke about Putra's adopted mother from his previous life, the warm-loving woman who saved him from the street and imparted an essential piece to his horrible life.
"Ibu(Mom)..."
"Mukamu(Your face)..."
"Nama mu(Your na)..."
"Suaramu(Your voice)..."
"Aku telah lupa semuanya(I forgot all of them)..."
Huo Yuhao smacked his face on the hard floor and rolled around while screaming. "This can't be?!"
"Why can I rember them??"
"AAAAHHHHH!!"
"Your Highness!" Damian entered the room and looked at the fainted Huo Yuhao on the floor. His face paled beyond belief as he hurriedly checked the young man's condition.
"Your Highness? N-No way, he fell into a coma again."
Damian nervously called for the doctor and watched the check-up, listening to the diagnosis with a solemn look.
"There is nothing wrong with Your Highness." The doctor said while checking Huo Yuhao's pulse. "This is Zero Order. He has used all his inner energy."
"But sothing is bothering , butler."
"What's it, doctor?" Damian returned attentively.
The doctor stared at Huo Yuhao and continued, "Your Highness's condition was "actually." once described in the legend. The chosen one with noble blood will cry out Ancient Power and unify Titania Bolos to greatness again."
"This prophecy has been told to every Devil Family, including other empires."
"However, even after more than 30.000 years, the chosen one hadn't appeared until now. One year ago, Your highness awakened royal blood, but sothing bizarre happened, no? He didn't manifest Ancient Power."
"He could be a late bloor, overpowered by his Devil Force to control shadow."
"One thing for sure, after he wakes up from this deep slumber, a sign will appear..."
"A sign..." Damian clenched his hand in worry.
"I hope it's not a bad sign."
"Your Highness has suffered too much in his life. I wish he could live and form a healthy relationship with a good girl, becoming a husband and father."
anwhile, Huo Yuhao drowned in darkness and felt soone hugging him tightly. It was Titania, caressing his black hair gently.
"You're such a silly person, Theo." Titania smiled weakly.
"Why did you push yourself to this point?"
"My threat is simply a drive to make you stronger. Yet, you used All-Transforming Ink to the extre and tried to create sothing out of its realm."
"I don't know what you were imagining..."
"But All-Transforming Ink isn't invincible. So, You cannot create sothing that doesn't possess substance in your mind." Titania couldn't understand what Huo Yuhao was saying when crying in agony. It's a language she had never heard of, even after living for so long.
Nevertheless, she could feel Huo Yuhao's despair and misery.
As if soone slaughtered his whole family before his very own eyes.
"Well, it's not like you can listen to my voice in this condition." She pulled Huo Yuhao's cheek, stretching it a little. "If only you were born 100.000 years sooner... I wouldn't be this lonely."
"To think Valstrax would obtain such an annoying heir. I bet that even the Nox Emperor couldn't see this future with her eyes."
Titania silently glanced at Huo Yuhao's forehead and pondered sothing deeply. "Good night, Theo." She kissed him, blushing because that was an embarrassing thing to do.
"Aih, so embarrassing..."
...
...
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and found himself lying on a cloud. He moved around and saw a massive smoke forming above his head, gathering into this familiar silhouette of a woman.
The silhouette becos more solid and stops abruptly.
"W-Wait! Show more!" Huo Yuhao jumped from the cloud, stretching his hand to grab the smoke.
Bam!
Huo Yuhao was "imdiately." greeted with a marble floor and the familiar scenery of his bedroom.
"..." Huo Yuhao looked at his hand and caught the Fairy King's Canvas.
[You have re-comprehended nurous skills]
[Art Mastery(A)]
[Perfect Body(S)]
[White Room's Martial Arts(A )]
[Perfect Control(S)
[Weapon Mastery(A )]
[Cold-Blooded(SS)]
Huo Yuhao felt numb in his head, making everything around him seem more lackluster than before. He checked the re-comprehended skills and saw nothing wrong with them.
"Mot-!" He mumbled and hissed in pain. An annoying headache appeared out of nowhere, attacking him like an annoying crowd of bees.
Huo Yuhao attempted three more tis to call Putra's mother, and the headaches were "instantly." triggered every ti. "Fuck..." He cursed while lying down and stared at the ceiling.
"Fuck."
"Fuck."
"Fuck."
"Fucking Hell..."
"Your Highness?" Damian entered the room with a bowl of warm water.
"You finally awake!"
"Thanks, God(Tania)!"
Huo Yuhao sighed in defeat and sat on the floor, leaning against his bed.
"What happened when I fainted, Damian?"
Damian cleared his throat and replied, "First of all, congratulations on your recovery, Your Highness. It's been two weeks since you fell asleep."
"Two weeks." Huo Yuhao couldn't help but frown.
"Have the monster race used this chance to attack us?"
The butler shook his head and added, "No, we haven't detected any monsters in the last 15 days. They have been silent and ta for so reason."
"How weird." Huo Yuhao comnted lightly.
"Indeed." Damian nodded in agreent.
After thinking for a while, Huo Yuhao told Damian to prepare a warm bath and al for him. Even though 9th Class Devil Warrior doesn't need food to survive, he needs to taste sothing right now.
Dipping himself in the bathtub, Huo Yuhao opened the status window and was surprised for a mont.
"This is..."

Huo Yuhao gently rubbed his chin, curiously wanting to try Devil Trigger here. However, it might cause destruction, and the cooldown is a whole day.
"I'll test it later." He enjoyed the warm water.
"As for the other skills... Pretty self-explanatory."
"White Room's Martial Arts, huh? That's sothing I haven't heard in a while."
While Huo Yuhao was recovering from a deep sleep, rcy and Clara faced their older sister with heavy tension in the room. They should have returned to the Admante Family two weeks ago, but the capital ordered them to do an ergency task. It was to help the rchant Group from the monster wave in the south.
"Take you a while to follow my order..." Alexandra comnted indifferently.
rcy put on a calm facade and replied, "Well, what can we do? Capital's ergency task is rarely to happen, sister."
"Not to ntion the monster has three 9th Class on their side."
Clara followed rcy's lead and added, "We have to fight them for twelve days and recover our inner energy first, 1st sister."
"Is that so?" Alexandra grabbed a cigar, burning it with a match.
"Do you have fun?"
"Pardon?" Clara returned with a confused expression.
Alexandra released a big puff of smoke and asked, "Do you have fun with Theo? You're not dumb, Clara. Stop making repeat myself."
SWOOSH!
An unimaginable pressure released from Alexandra, making both rcy and Clara kneel on the floor. They breathed heavily and looked at the woman before them like she was a monster.
"I warned you guys already." She put her legs on the desk.
"Don't touch Theo ever again. We agreed to leave him dying in that castle one year ago."
"Right?" Her voice is piercing their eardrums.
"W-We understand, 1st sister." rcy and Clara responded. This level of presence is similar to or even higher than their master.
Alexandra swiped her hand and launched both pink-haired sisters outside, closing the door with pure psychokinesis. She killed the cigar by rubbing it on an ashtray, glancing at the picture fra on her desk.
A boy with black hair and brown eyes is smiling happily, hugging Alexandra with such warmth.
"Theo... Why did you stay alive? Why can't you die?"
"Sister is living full of sin already. Please, Don't make lose control and go there personally to violate you again. Ahh." Alexandra's breathing becos slightly heavier.
