Chapter 63 : Bizarre
Bridgemoor City, Edel District, Morningstar Mansion.
Inside the Mana Cultivation Room, Felix sat cross-legged with fiery red Mana and blue arcs of lightning swirling around him, creating a destructive aura.
The room was completely scorched black, filled with the intense pressure of Felix's aura.
After a few minutes, Felix slowly opened his eyes, faint arcs of lightning flashing before disappearing. He exhaled softly, releasing faint white mists that lingered in the air.
Felix clenched his fist and smiled,"Now I'm a Tier 2 Intermediate Dual Mage".
With Zephyr busy expanding his gang in the slums,Trinity, and Brixton busy in the Adventurer District.
Felix had been dedicating his time to cultivating his powers. His hard work had paid off, and now he is a Tier 2 Intermediate Dual Mage.
He is now on the same level as Trinity and the others.
Previously, with the establishment of the restaurant, he had been busy and didn't have time to cultivate at all.
He had been far behind Trinity and the others, and if he didn't cultivate, he would really fall behind all of them, which he didn't want.
Besides, if he didn't cultivate and quickly increase his strength, how could he protect himself in this brutal world? He had to seize every opportunity to grow stronger and couldn't waste time.
As long as he had enough strength, he could live however he wanted. In this world, if he didn't have the strength to protect himself, his fate would be in the hands of others, which he didn't want.
For instance, Jarvis. Jarvis's life had been in the hands of other people, even though he was incredibly strong.
He was used as a tool, a machine to do other people's bidding because he didn't have enough strength.
He could only do what others told him, otherwise, he would die without knowing how he died. If Jarvis had had enough strength, he would not have been in his current situation.
But because he lacked strength, he was used as a tool for other people to complete their desires and dirty deeds. When they didn't want him anymore and considered him a threat, they threw him away like a piece of trash.
Felix refused to let others control his fate. As long as he became strong enough, no one would dare to mess with him or the people around him.
"I have to become so strong that people will think a million times over before they decide to offend me," Felix clenched his fist and said in a resolute tone, flames of determination burning in his eyes.
Arcs of lightning and flames burned in his palms. Felix took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and began cultivating again.
But this time, he wasn't cultivating his Mage Cultivation, but his Knight Cultivation path.
He has decided to pursue both paths of cultivation.
Initially, he leaned towards becoming a Mage due to his higher talent in that area and the prestigious status Mages hold in comparison to Knights.
However, he reconsidered this decision. While being a known Mage could elevate his status in the Kingdom, he realized the dangers of drawing attention to his abilities.
In a world full of envy and threats, being a standout genius could make him a target for harm, not to mention endangering Trinity and the others.
He might be killed if someone or something deems him as a threat. A fully grown genius is better than a genius with potential. As long as he is not fully matured yet then he can be killed off if someone stronger than him doesn't like him.
Besides he doesn't have any powerful background to speak off, even he might a genius mage with dual elemens but he doesn't have a powerful background to protect him.
Many might not be surprised if they found his corpse in some corner rotting. They will just shake their heads and pity him for a while before moving on after all live still goes on.
And besides he is not the only genius out there, they are many individuals out there more powerful and talented than him.
So, he has chosen to cultivate both paths secretly, showcasing his Knight skills while keeping his Mage abilities hidden.
It may be challenging to balance both paths and require more Mana for breakthroughs, but the strength and benefits he will gain are worth it. With enough resources, he can overcome any obstacles.
Plus, staying under the radar suits his preference for a low-profile existence.
Felix prefers to operate in the shadows, revealing his true power only when necessary to avoid unnecessary trouble.
-----------------------------
Felix sat cross-legged on the ground in the Mana Cultivation Room, focusing on Cultivating his Knight Cultivation. As time passed, milky white Mana condensed around him and entered his body through his pores.
His aura began to rise, causing the ground to tremble and the wind to blow. Twenty minutes later he was completely enveloped in a cocoon of milky white Mana, his figure barely visible as the ground he was sitting trembled more violently.
BANG!
Suddenly, a bang echoed from within Felix's body, causing faint cracks to appear on the ground.
A powerful aura swept out from him, kicking up a gust of wind. The milky white Mana slowly dispersed and entered his body completely.
Opening his eyes, Felix clenched his fist, he can feel his body becoming much lighter and stronger than ever before,he can feel more power and strength coursing through his body.
His senses were heightened, surpassing even his time when he became a Mage.
Looking around the Mana Cultivation Room,Felix thought for a moment and took a deep breath,he put more strength into his legs and dashed forward.
His figure turned into a blur as he as he vanished from his location.
He moved so quickly that he turned into an afterimage, disappearing and reappearing several meters away.
Felix was stunned for a moment and his eyes flashed with excitement, " So this is how being a Knight felt it's completely different".
Excited by his newfound abilities as a Knight, Felix felt a whole new level of strength, speed and his sense for Mana have also increased exponentially.
With a smile, Felix pushed himself even further, his figure started flickering around the room at lightning speed.
Being a Knight felt completely different, and he was thrilled by the changes in his body and abilities.
A few minutes later, Felix stopped and took a deep breath in excitement. He really enjoyed the feeling of becoming stronger; it made him feel almost intoxicated.
He hadn't realized Knights were this powerful - he felt like he could punch a fully grown cow to death with a single punch.
"So this is how Trinity, Brixton, and Zephyr felt, huh?" He clenched his fist and muttered under his breath, excitement evident in his eyes.
"When Trinity comes back, I have to duel with her to see who is stronger," Felix smirked and rubbed his chin.
"Now I'm a Tier 2 Intermediate Dual Mage and Tier 1 Beginner Knight. My strength is completely different, and I believe I can put up a fight with a Tier 3 Mana Cultivator without any problem," Felix narrowed his eyes and thought.
"But I need to train in my combat skills and spells, and I need some combat experience. I need to battle in real life," Felix's eyes flickered as he sank into deep thought.
After a moment, he shook his head. "I'll take it step by step, no rush." With that, he sat back down on the ground, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes.
Since he had made a breakthrough, he needed to consolidate his current strength; otherwise, his foundation would be shaky, making it difficult to advance in the future.
Half an hour later, all the Mana that had been leaking out from his body due to the increase in strength was completely withdrawn, and his aura was also contained without leaking out.
Exhaling softly, Felix opened his eyes and walked out of the Mana Cultivation Room with a smile on his face.
He quickly made his way to the training ground and was surprised to see Jarvis standing motionless at the center.
He stood aside and looked at Jarvis standing at the center, a frown appeared in his face.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, and he couldn't hear anything at all.
He sensed that something was off. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with no sounds of insects crying or birds singing melodiously like usual in the mansion. It was as if he had suddenly gone deaf.
His attention was drawn to Jarvis, who stood at the center of the training ground.
Felix felt like he was staring into a gaping hole that was swallowing everything around him.
He could hear faint whispers in his ears, and it felt like he was both looking at Jarvis and not looking at him at the same time.
It was as if they were standing together on the training ground, yet in completely different spaces and times. It was incredibly bizarre and frightening.
Felix's heart raced, beads of sweats rolled down his forehead on his forehead.
He wanted to look away from Jarvis, but something seemed to keep his gaze fixed on him.
Suddenly, Jarvis opened his eyes and locked gazes with Felix.
When Felix met Jarvis's eyes, his heart skipped a beat. A moment of terror flashed in his eyes before disappearing.
"What the heck!"
