Chapter 87: Cleansing
Chapter 87: Cleansing
The horrendous pressure coming from Estrada wasn't something Felix who was a Warrior Apprentice could handle.
His body couldn't keep up with the energy pressing down on him, making him fall headfirst onto the ground.
But that was when a voice entered his mind.
[Succesfully created a new skill!]
Suddenly, it felt as if time stopped for a second, but that one second felt like an eternity to Felix.
'Huh, what's happening?', it all started with a puzzled question inside his mind. Then,
"Boom!"
Before he could find the answer to his question, Felix felt as if a bomb had detonated inside his consciousness.
"Whooshhh!"
And then, as if a black hole had formed deep inside his mind, every useless thought started to twist around at one point, until it absorbed everything leaving behind nothing of disturbance.
Felix, whose body was moving closer to the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, showing pure clarity without any disturbing emotions.
Seeing the floor getting near to his face, he quickly moved his right leg and stomped hard onto the floor, balancing his swaying body.
Like an agile cat, he turned his body around and went back to the position he was before his body fell down, but with his eyes open now.
Seeing such a spectacle play right before their eyes, Estrada and Mr.Dealer arched their brows but then nodded at the boy's determination to not fall at the pressure.
But only Felix knew what was happening inside his mind.
'Huh??'
No, even he didn't truly understand what actually was happening.
'My thoughts....'
He felt as if he didn't have to worry about anything, that as long as he had the ability to think, he could find an answer to every problem there is.
'Let's do this!'
Standing straight like a tall tree, he closed his eyes, unaffected by the sheer pressure pressing down on him.
Even though a great mass of mana was being engulfed on his whole being, his muscle nerves connected with his mind where his consciousness was didn't respond to it as it would usually do.
Instead, they remained in a state of complete balance, not letting any external factors influence his actions.
'I can feel it now.....'
As he went back into meditating while taking much more precise breathing rhythms then before, he could finally feel the surrounding mana gushing into his nerves.
The mana flowed through his whole body and eliminated all the harmful and impure substances at every corner of his body.
Travelling all the way from the underworld, the secret tavern, and to the surface, Felix ran through the alleyways of Edenmont and finally arrived at the guild building.
'Finally!!!'
He quickly activated the skill Silent Steps while entering the gates, and opened the main door of the building.
Not wanting to be careless, he also avtivated the skill Agility Burst and sped through the main hall the moment the doors opened.
There were a bunch of guild members sitting around at the lobby, and when they heard the door open, they turned around to look but there was nobody standing there.
"Huh, thats weird...."
"Yeah, why did the door suddenly open?"
As they discussed among themselves in confusion, suddenly a horrible stench hit their nostrils.
"Fuc*@ng He!!&!"
"Holy Sh!£!"
"Who farted!!"
"We're under attack*^!!"
Chaos spread throughout the lobby as the members quickly blocked off their nose and brought out their weapons looking around for the culprit.
Meanwhile Felix who had unleashed a fight between the guild members locked himself inside his room and jumped into the bathroom, throwing the dirty clothes in a corner.
His only thought at this moment was to take a long and satisfying bath, removing all the dirty smell on his body.

Edenmont Underworld, Mr.Dealers base.
Estrada walked out of the building and turned back to the man who was seeing him out.
"You've done well. Gathering those youngsters was a good idea, especially now that we need more people eventhough they're weak."
Mr.Dealer gave a polite smile and replied.
"It was nothing. Compared to who we are about to face in the near future, we've not even anywhere near close to fight them."
Estrada's face turned into a dark look as he sighed.
"Don't worry, the situation is not that bad. But if things comes to worse, then....."
He didn't continue but Mr.Dealer got what he was getting to, as his face took a drastic change.
"Hmm, there's a lot of work to do, I'll be going now then."
Estrada left the building and walked out before disappearing into nothing.
