Chapter 136: News About The Flame!
Aside from gaining a new time ability, Kranos’s comprehension of his initial time abilities remained stagnant; they hadn’t broken through to the next level. Kranos sighed and continued his practice, constantly simulating different battles in his mind.
He was also contemplating how to weaponize Rapid Thought. Since he could think so quickly, he had to use it in combat. That way, he could devise counterattacks faster, fight more effectively, and strike before his opponent could react.
Time passed as he focused on increasing his strength. However, after barely a day in the time space, he felt a strange sensation. His consciousness was forcefully pulled out with a sudden tug.
Kranos opened his eyes, and immediately, blood flowed from his seven orifices. A notification also appeared in his line of sight:
[Overuse of mental energy can lead to death. Be careful.]
"Mental energy? That was mental energy?" Kranos was stunned. He calmed himself and began to recover slowly. My decision was impulsive. Fortunately, the system warned me in time and pulled me out forcefully. Kranos couldn’t imagine what would have happened otherwise.
More than a week passed before Kranos fully recovered. He also felt that his thoughts had become clearer. Could it be because I overdrained my mental energy? Did it also increase in strength while recovering? Kranos had a guess, but since he didn’t know if mental energy was useful, he decided not to take the risk.
His thoughts shifted, and he returned to cultivating. In this manner, more than three months passed. Just as Kranos was lost in thought, he heard a knock on the door. Roughly estimating the time, Kranos raised a brow. Has the World Tree healed so soon? Could it be Kathryn?
Kranos was overjoyed. Without hesitation, his figure moved, and he appeared in front of the door. He opened it and saw a figure standing there; however, it wasn’t Kathryn.
