Chapter 88: He is awake

Oliver was still in his mindscape, he was experiencing the vagueness of being in Abyss but he was unable to clearly feel anything.

He would shudder from time to time whenever a monster-like entity would be seen by him.

Creatures with shadowy hair as thick as leather, otherworldly faces bulging from the skin, and horrifying specifics that he was unable to see in the void.

As he kept falling more and more, the creatures became more and more menacing.

Suddenly as if something clicked, he felt an even deeper sense of connection with the Abyss.

He felt his body anew, as if he was now in a different body, he could feel power rushing from every corner of his body.

Unknown knowledge about many things suddenly rushed into his mind, he was unable to comprehended some while other pieces of the information were just as equally complex or disturbing in nature.

Information regarding his new self entered his mind, it seemed that he had become a creature of Abyss.

Or something more…

He was unable to tell.

The abyss energy, he could feel it inside his veins… flowing naturally as blood.

He was unable to understand many things but he felt himself calm.

It was an eerie calm, as if he was not much affected by things happening around him.

Oliver….

Oliver.

Oliver.

"OLIVER!"

He started hearing his name being called out, slowly drawing him out of the void.

"Umm…"

He groaned slightly confused, slowly opening his eyes, there was no pain in his body anymore.

A bright light assaulted his eyes as he slowly opened them.

'Beautiful…'

He said looking at the black sky, well, not exactly the void clouds but the countless colorful particles floating in the atmosphere all around.

Those were the espera particles, he could clearly see them, more defined and more detailed.

From the different colored particles, he could tell their attributes and other stuff, he could define the particles even better than before.

Not only that, he felt the surroundings also felt more detailed than usual.

"Oliver-!"

He heard a feminine sound and slowly got up and sat down, he looked around but found no one.

Who called his name just now?

Tug.

Feeling a tug on his clothes, he looked below to see a pristine white cat.

"Zippy…?"

He picked her up slowly and looked her seriously in the eyes.

The clan guardian also looked back into his eyes but was momentarily stunned, his eyes… seemed to have changed for some reason.

She could feel a deepness into them.

Eyes were the windows to one's soul and could tell a lot about the person.

For an expert like her who could even read fate and future from the stars, she was naturally able to feel the immense deepness in his eyes.

'Something had definitely changed in him.'

She thought with a pondering look, for some reason, she felt an invisible pressure as she continued to look into his eyes.

Those eyes felt dark… for some reason.

She had fought countless demons in her lifetime, and knew what was dread.

She could feel an evil presence inside him… an inherent evilness.

'No, this shouldn't be the case? Why am I feeling this?' She shook her head.

The inherent evil aura that she was thinking of was something that was present in the most gruesome and fearsome entities of the world. It was not something that could be present in a child.

Especially considering he was a kind-hearted boy to begin with.

She was unable to pinpoint what was causing it and what exactly was it but she knew it had something to do with the phenomenon above and his mysterious power from before.

"Did you just speak now?" Oliver looked at the clan guardian curiously.

He felt that the clan guardian forgot that currently she was acting as his pet—a normal pet!

"Meow?" she shook her head and replied.

"…"

'You are shaking your head, this means you understand me, right?'

He could tell that the clan guardian was quite stupid at acting and her skills were below average so he did not mind her and just patted her head.

"How can that be?" he said. "I must have misunderstood."

The cat also glanced at his body and was momentarily stunned.

'He's already Rank-1?' she was shocked.

'What's with this ridiculous amount of espera,' she found it hard to believe, 'this is definitely not the espera level of a Rank-1.'

She could obviously feel the espera radiating out of Oliver's body, he had broke through Rank-1 for some reason.

'But how…!?'

He was a normal talentless boy with barely any espera and now suddenly he not only had abundant espera but also way more espera than any genius she had seen so far.

It would be hard to believe that this kid was the same kid who had barely any espera just a day ago.

If someone sensed through him, they would feel he was nothing but a genius among geniuses.

He put her down as he slowly got up.

He knew things were not simple looking at those fading clouds filled with those hollow particles.

And for the clan guardian to come here, he must be the cause of this.

'It seems she has helped me this time.'

He placed his hand over his chest as he felt the tremendous abyssal energy flowing inside him.

And looking over at her, he felt that she was not able to sense this.

In the novel, there was never been the mention of the Abyss or Abyssal energy so he was able to conclude that she was not aware of it.

Even though this was a complete mystery, he did not intend to tell her about it. He doubted that she had any clues about it either.

He knew things were about to turn troublesome, with all the disturbances and Nadia and other girl in the chamber with the elders, reinforcements should be arriving soon.

They might also be searching for him.

He looked at himself, he was drenched in sweat and his espera was leaking out.

He frowned, he could not go out like this.

If he suddenly showed espera ten times greater than Nadia, the clan genius, he would directly be sent to a laboratory where a group of people in white coat would operate on him.
