Chapter 180 - 180: Forest Insects (2/2)

”Wow! You're always like that!” The young blonde, Jenny, snorted and turned her face away while still holding her nose.

Breno scratched his head and changed the subject. ”We're close to the Naga Empire, and I'm really looking forward to this year's tournament. I hope I can make it into the top ten this time around.” He said wittily, with a strong desire for the upcoming competition.

Jenny nodded in agreement as she used her wind to ward off the smell from her and said, ”Yes, but before that, get out and deal with those incoming insects.”

”Sure, I was about to do exactly that!” He answered and left right away.

Theo made the boy sit in a chair that he made with his illusion. He then put his hand on the boy's head to facilitate the procedure and began to control the boy's mind little by little with his mental power.

When Theo does this process, he could relate a person's mind to that of a computer. There are several different file directories, and some are even protected with passwords or hidden. It all depends on how much the person wants to hide them.

But since Theo's Divine Sense and soul were powerful, he had to invade the boy's mind with the utmost care to not destroy his mind or his consciousness. If he did that, the boy would lose any intelligence and become nothing more than a living organism without a will.

Delving deep into the boy's mind and ”excluding” everything he saw as traumatic, this process ended up taking almost an hour for Theo to finish cleansing his mind.

This also put a fair amount of strain on Theo's mind due to the effort involved to keep complete control of the procedure. Now done, Theo sighed in relief as he saw that he had succeeded. The boy who didn't show much brightness in his eyes before, now looked at Theo with his bright greenish-brown eyes like he was someone entirely different.

The boy looking at Theo asked him, ”Who are you? And why am I here?”

Theo had already used his illusions to exclude the other people who had suffered the experiments from the boy's sight.

Theo smiled at him and said, ”Boy, I'm Theo. Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. Now, I'll take you somewhere else, okay?”

The kid looked at Theo with a bit of suspicion, but his instincts told him that he could trust him. It was a strange feeling, but he decided to believe in his instincts and listen to what Theo said, ”All right.

He nodded his head and started following Theo.

The boy was surprised by what he passed along the way. There were a lot of different things he'd never seen before, but he was even more intrigued by the number of people he saw nearby.

”Huh?” Soon his eyebrows came together, and the boy saw two familiar silhouettes. They were of the people in his memories that he saw a short time ago, but in reality, something didn't seem right to him. It didn't seem like such a short time, but he decided to put those thoughts aside and started running to them anyway.

He ran quickly towards these two specific people, they were a thin and slightly malnourished man and a woman who seemed to have aged a little, but still, his eyes couldn't fool him. He knew who they were, they were his dear, beloved parents!

”Daddy, Mommy!” He cried as he approached.

Seeing a young man running in their direction, they shouted out to him, ”Son!” The couple quickly burst into tears as they finally met their son. The tears flowed down from all of their eyes like waterfalls.
