Chapter 916 Waking Up
One year and five months later...
Felix's eyelids finally started to show so movent inside the VR Pod...He opened them slowly, feeling like they were glued shut.
The mont they were open, Felix looked around him with a muddled expression while yawning widely.
After a few seconds looking here and there, his disarrayed mories were affixed and resurfaced in his mind, reminding him about his current situation.
"Good morning, sunshine." Asna welcod with a pleasant delighted tone.
"Morning to you too." Felix massaged his eyelids as he asked, "How long was I sleeping for?"
"Two years and five months." Lady Sphinx inford calmly.
"I slept an extra five months?" Felix frowned, not liking the sound of that one bit.
Who could bla him? The test was in seven months, and he had yet to even replace his bloodline...Felix couldn't risk entering the test without being in his greatest form.
"I really need to hasten my plan." Not wasting a single second, Felix opened the VR Pod and jumped out.
THUUD!!
The instant his feet touched the ground, a loud booming noise resounded throughout the room!
Surprised, Felix glanced underneath him and couldn't help but gasp audibly after seeing that his feet had left two dents!
Cracks surrounded those feet shaped dents.
"The ground is tough enough to support even dragons weight." Thor grinned, "For you to impact it this hard, it only ans that your strength is edging closer to them."
Felix nodded absentmindedly while tightening his fists, feeling untapped monstrous power within them.
It wasn't clear to him why, but he had the feeling that he was capable of wrestling even with dragons!
"You must have crossed past the sixth mark and done already half of it." Lady Sphinx deducted.
"If that's right, doesn't an that he must have increased his physical strength by an insane twenty thousand bloodline force?" Mistress Candace's eyes widened in shock.
Before the coma, Felix's devourer's system was at half the fourth mark.
Since each complete mark rewarded Felix with a fixed ten thousand bloodline force, he would have naturally obtained that unimaginable increase if Lady Sphinx's deduction was correct.
"Sheesh, no wonder the Devourers have the guts to decline the alliance invitation to join them." Felix said.
The Devourers were one of the few races to prefer remaining independent after being discovered by the ever expanding SGAlliance.
If it were any other race, it would be a no-brainer to join the alliance since they had gotten exposed to the vultures, who wouldn't hesitate to invade them.
But in the case of the Devourers?
They were capable of reaching the sa strength as dragons, making them one of the top dogs in the universe.
Felix couldn't imagine how strong he would get if he went through his whole inventory of natural treasures.
"After the replacent enhancent, it will get even better." Felix smirked faintly while putting so clothes on.
"So, how did it go with elder Fenrir?" Felix inquired, "Did you guys bury the hatchet?"
"Well...Old snake, you do the honor." Thor passed the baton, not wanting to be the bearer of bad news.
"Spineless alcoholic." Jörmungandr cursed him in annoyance.
"What's going on guys?" Felix had a bad feeling suddenly.
"It's best to join us." Jörmungandr said.
"Alright." Felix replied with a serious expression and dived back inside the VR Pod.
He wanted to take a shower and comfort Nimo before eting them, but now? Everything was scrapped.
...
After Felix t with the tenants in Lady Sphinx's house, the first thing he did was give Asna a quick hug and a kiss, not caring about her embarrassed protests.
For him, it was a quick nap, but for her? She had to go through two years and a half without talking to him.
This had never happened ever since they t.
"Hit , what's with the long faces?" Felix said after sitting next to the pouting Asna.
Jörmungandr went and updated him on the whole developnt that he missed during his coma.
He told him that there was no perfect ice manipulation since they had a plan to free Fenrir without weakening him.
He also inford him about the current master/student relation Fenrir had with Noah and that fact he was the one going to be saving him from the ice world.
"Everything I heard is good news." Felix eyed them speechlessly, "Hearing your tone, I thought that you failed to awaken Fenrir or sothing."
Sure, it stung a little that he wouldn't be using ice elent when he quite liked it, but that was it. He could easily pick another elent and go on with his life.
In fact, the new elent might even be better suited for him than ice since first impressions shouldn't always be taken as face value.
As for Noah becoming Fenrir's student? Shit, he couldn't be more happy about it.
He understood that Noah was one of the most reliable people he had in his life and if he had joined him much earlier in his journey, his path would have been much easier with his help.
In the sa coin, Noah would have been able to develop faster...But, even if he wanted to do it, he had no control over his masters' choices.
It wasn't like he could force Lady Sphinx to help Noah the sa way she helped him.
Fortunately, Fenrir had seen his good side and gave him an opportunity to get better.
"It's good that you feel that way." Jörmungandr smiled in gratification.
"So, where are they now?" Felix asked for Fenrir and Noah.
"I have called them over, they will be here soon." Lady Sphinx replied.
"Alright." Felix nodded, "We need to start rescue mission as fast as possible, so I can join it too."
"I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I doubt that's possible." Mistress Candace shared, "Unless, you are willing to miss the test, it's impossible for to take you to the ice world and return you here in a re half a year."
"The distance...Crap, I didn't consider it."
He was so used to having no more than two months travels with Mistress Candace, he completely forgot that the ice world was literally on the other side of the universe.
"Idiot, don't forget that you need to start your replacent process as soon as possible." Asna gave him a hand chop in the head, "How can you integrate while inside the void realm?"
"I know...Unless the test was delayed or the rescue mission, It's impossible for to make it to both." Felix sighed in frustration.
There was simply no way Felix would request Fenrir to wait for him until he gets his sh*t done here, so he could co and spectate the rescue live.
"You won't even be needed there." Lady Sphinx said, "Just leave it to the kid, I believe that he will get it done."
"Damn right he will."
Suddenly, Fenrir entered through the open door with his trademark expressionless face.
Noah was following behind him with the sa expression, making them seem like a father and a son duo.
"Good morning to you too." Jörmungandr's eyelids twitched at Fenrir's impoliteness.
"I am honored to et you elder, I have heard nothing but great things about you." Felix bowed his head respectfully imdiately.
"No need to be formal with , child." Fenrir said calmly, "As long as you are with , release your inner wildness."
"I will try..." Felix was a bit weirded out by his request, but he was used to weirdness from primogenitors by now.
"Noah." Felix turned to Noah and smiled in delight, "I am glad that you have found a new path."
Silent as always, Noah nodded in appreciation, knowing that none of this would have been possible without Felix.
"Ti is out of essence, so should we make a move now?" Thor asked.
If it wasn't for Mistress Candace being required to care for Felix and Nimo during his coma, they would have already freed Fenrir a long while ago.
"I apologize for not offering much of assistance." Felix scratched his head, not getting used to being a re spectator.
"You have already done enough." Fenrir cracked a tiny smile, "Just keeping those old fogies alive is already an achievent of its own."
