Chapter 296: Clarity. (1/2)

”Speak with Haley, she will provide you with anything that you would need,” leaving these words, Ozul walked out of the training ground along with Jinx following behind him.

He was now looking for a place to be alone. But instead of just flying over to the middle of the forest, he slowly walked along with Jinx.

Since he had time, he was back to being lazy again. Why bother putting an effort when he would eventually get there anyway?

The duo went back to the tower as instructed while Ozul took a few hours to find a spot where he was finally alone. Jinx's presence didn't matter.

Taking another look around him, he only sensed wild animals around. Although not entirely peaceful, this was a lot better than being around humans.

Their emotions along with all the chatter drained him.

Gaining all of his limbs back, he couldn't control his ability to sense emotions either. Before he could keep a check on it and block them off whenever he wanted, but now bits and parts would reach him whenever he wasn't concentrating.

Even these bits and pieces were annoying since bearing others emotions wasn't exactly a comfortable feeling when he was barely able to handle his own thoughts.

He found a small boulder and sat on it cross-legged before closing his eyes. With the absence of humans, he had it easier to handle the outside emotions thrown at him.

Putting aside his confusing thoughts, Ozul began to list out all the changes in his body after reattaching his last limb.

The most obvious improvement was the boost in his senses. Not just sensing the emotions of others but all of his senses. He could see far clearer and hear tens of times better than before. Being able to hear the usual commotion in the tower despite there being multiple formations set up was more than enough to help understand just how much his senses had improved.

'I will first have to get my senses under control,' he thought, deciding to prioritize this on his next course of actions.

A moment of distraction at a critical point could be fatal, so he had to get them under control as soon as possible.

It was surely beneficial to him that his senses had improved so much, but it was more of a nuisance than a convenience right now.

The next thing that came to his mind was his stronger-than-ever connection with the black cat lazily stretching itself on his lap.

Jinx had no presence and Ozul only felt comfortable in her company.

Opening his eyes, he eyed the black feline as he wondered whether it was her presence or the absence of her presence that made him feel at peace.

'You a mystery on your own... but I feel like I will understand you... once I understand myself,' Ozul contemplated before closing his eyes again.

At least one thing was confirmed from his growing bond with Jinx; she did indeed have something to do with him and he would only find out more if he got stronger.

'Stronger huh... that means I will most likely not find my answers here...' he sighed as he thought about it.

His feelings never lied to him and the urge to get stronger than he already is in this world meant that he would most probably need to travel to the other worlds. After all, he felt there were only a handful of things that could boost his strength in this realm now.

And if the other realms were really involved then there were only slim chances for him to find his answers on this small planet.

As he thought about the other realms, Ozul again lamented the fact that he didn't receive any fragmented pieces of information on the realms outside.

Was he actually not supposed to receive those fragments of memories when he had gained his leg back?

'There might have been a problem when that abomination was trying to absorb my leg... and I mistakenly received those memories upon reattaching the limb,' Ozul concluded.

Although his guess was too far fetched, he couldn't think of any other reason besides this.

Anyhow, it wasn't the time to mull over the problems. He took a deep breath and started to feel the power that he now held.

”This strength...” he muttered comparing his strength to Darcia who had ultimately died because of the explosion caused by the cannon.

The explosion had reduced the cannon to dust and Darcia was already considered to have a sturdy body since her corpse was at least left intact.

But comparing his strength to Darcia who was supposed to be one of the strongest four Mages on the continent, he would have believed himself to be the strongest on the planet if he wasn't aware of Old Gu's presence.

'Would I be able to at least sense his strength now?' he wondered, anticipating the time when he would meet Old Gu again.

If he still wasn't able to sense Old Gu's presence, then he would be sure that the old man didn't originate from this planet.
