Chapter 26 - Imparting Knowledge? (1/2)

...

”Woah!”

With an abrupt shout, Will woke up from the land of dreams. He could barely remember what had happened before he had lost consciousness, so he looked around to see what had occurred.

As he started to take in his surroundings, Will felt something he had not felt in a long time; fatigue. Not fatigue of the body, but the fatigue of the mind. All of his 64 minds could barely concentrate on anything at all right now. Let alone think, he could barely even take in his surroundings.

As he was lying down, Will's weak mind decided to simply cultivate, to recover the lost mental energy that had been launched. After cultivating for what seemed like many hours, Will's mind finally achieved its prime state. He started to remember what had previously happened.

After he had killed the Helios Warhawk, even though exp had entered his figure, his body had started feeling weak all of a sudden. Will had continued to cultivate in a bid to resist this predicament but in the end, he had failed, resulting in him fainting on the spot.

Shit, it's a good thing I only fainted for a few hours, otherwise, I would be dead once the next monster showed up.

Will started looking around his body to see if there were any pleasant surprises. The first thing he noticed was that cultivation was now slightly faster. Not only that, but his senses were improved. Not his normal senses, but rather his ability to take in his surroundings. Will couldn't quite put it into words because it was a bit of an odd sensation.

In the past, due to his bloodlust ability, Will had always been sensitive to killing intent, but now he felt like he could sense other things. He just wasn't sure what it was.

”Having fun are we?” Suddenly Modus' voice came from behind Will.

Since he didn't have full control of his body yet he couldn't turn back to look at Modus himself, but as far as Will was concerned he didn't need to.

”You know sir, it would be nice if you came in and said hi once in a while.” Grumbled Will as he continued the struggle he was having with his body.

”This is me saying hi, young man. And I have to say I am impressed. I expected it to take at least a decade for you to perform your first true strike. Yet here you are, once again surprising me. Well done.” Will could hear some clapping accompanying Modus' words, but to him each clap was torture.

A decade? What the heck? Did he want to leave me in here for a decade? Somehow each compliment I get from him feels like an Insult. Now that feeling is even stronger.

”Well then, thank you Modus for your kind words. However, I assume you didn't come just for that?”

It was at this point that Modus walked closer to Will and his body finally came into view. This was the first time Will was seeing Modus' face since he had cut off his mask, and Will's disappointment at how ordinary the man's face looked was hard to hide.
