Chapter 216: I Desire Freedom (1)
As Adrian returned to the realm of the mortals, his entire body ached. Unlike the last time, it seemed he had carried over the fatigue he felt after being dominated by the kitsune.
’Who would have thought battling without my eyes would be so difficult...’
As an analyst, Adrian could decipher the reason for his defeat. It wasn’t that the kitsune was powerful—well, she was stronger than Adrian expected—but it could be because of the abnormal behaviour of the creature he fought during the harmony trial.
Another reason for his defeat was the active curses on him. His stats were still reduced and would continue to be reduced for another day. If he had all his stats at his disposal, the kitsune would have lost more than a few tails, a fact that only added to his frustration.
However, it seemed Adrian wasn’t done and was given bad news after bad news. One such news arrived the moment Adrian stepped out of the cold storage.
[Due to their inability to pass the trial, the User’s effectiveness is diminished when utilising abilities associated with their eyes.]
[The User is requested to clear the trial to restore their control over the mentioned organ(s).]
"Of course, it just had to happen," Adrian rolled his eyes before closing the prompts.
[The higher entity, Faithful Spouse In Unfaithful Marriage, is pleased to notice the User’s struggle and hopes more misery piles on him.]
’Ah, this bitch again... you should know when not to open your blubbering mouth. Oh well, I’ll gladly teach you a lesson in etiquette.’
’Woah, careful! You’re letting the ugliness of your face out for everyone to see, madam entity,’ Adrian smirked. ’Maybe the ugliness is why your spouse is unfaithful to you. Can’t blame him, really.’
