Chapter 185 - 185: Totem Awakening
"Do I need to direct a lot of Mana to that totem until I can wake it up or control it?" It was the most logical thing he could think of when he saw the results of his tests.
"I just hope you don't need an absurd amount of Mana like from someone who's already in the Spiritual Kingdom." Theo sighed.
Sitting on the ground in a lotus position, Theo began to exercise the cultivation technique, Lightning of Primordial Darkness.
By the time Theo started cultivating, he had entered an ethereal state. His mind was calm, only thinking about following the flow of Mana while practicing the cultivation technique. It was as if he had become one with both his body and soul with his Mana. It was a unique and fantastic state that he had never felt before when cultivating.
The Mana around him danced as if it were celebrating being in his presence. A tremendous flow of Mana entered through all his pores, but despite the absurd amount of Mana going into his body, strangely, it wasn't hurting him.
In fact, it made him feel more comfortable than he ever felt when cultivating. Theo felt Mana go all over his body, feeding and strengthening him, while most of the Mana went towards a specific place.
If someone looked at Theo at that moment, they would realize that the totem of the white lion king on his left shoulder was shining in white flames, strangely looking alive.
As time passed, the white totem flames of the white lion king spread over Theo's body. Besides his left shoulder, almost his entire arm was clad in white flames. A sense of power circulated through the veins of Theo's arm, and he felt as if he could purify any taint from this world.
A puddle of black mucus has formed on the left side of his body. That was all the impurities that remained in his left arm. Despite this, it was a frightening amount, especially astounding, since Theo didn't have many impurities in his body.
When he had finished cleaning the impurities thoroughly from his left arm, Theo opened his eyes!

"Oh?"
Unknown to Theo, it's been a little more than a day since he started cultivating.
Looking around, he noticed Shina, Zaika, Yuki and little Yui cultivating. He did not see anything strange, though. He thought it'd only been a few hours.
Theo immediately looked at the arm and the left hand, he couldn't help but tremble with enthusiasm. His left arm was surrounded by white flames. It was as white as snow, calm and serene, almost without any waves.
Theo was excited deep in his heart and quickly asked himself, "With these flames, I should be able to purify the Magic Cores, right?"
Looking in the direction of the others, he said to himself, "They are still cultivating, so I will try to purify some Magic Cores in the meantime."
But first of all, he noticed that it stank. Realizing that it was because of impurities that came out of his body, Theo used "Cleanse" on himself. Grabbing a new change of clothes, he changed. Now, he was wearing a set of blue, black and red clothes, with jeans and a red V collar shirt and black sneakers…
After changing clothes, Theo took out the Wind Magic Cores. Almost 10,000 appeared, although he had many more than that. He still thought about getting used to the white flames before trying more than this.
Putting a Magic Core in his left hand, using the white flames that surrounded his hand, he began to purify it.
"Ahh?"

"Zaira, are you sure they're okay? It's been two days since they disappeared." Nanda sighed helplessly, "The City is also in chaos because of the Kenedy Clan."
"They're fine, don't worry." Zaira wasn't a little worried, she knew about Theo's abilities. She also had master and servant contracts with him and knew that nothing bad had happened to him.
"And don't forget that strange man who came here yesterday. He seemed very keen to talk to Theo." Aine added and asked, "Don't you know him yourself, Zaira?"
"No, I've never seen him before." Zaira shook her head: "He must have met Theo before he met me."
"Hrm, he has a bit of a full family." She said to herself, but she couldn't remember where she knew that smell.
"I understand…" said Ariana, "We can only wait for them. Speculating about it on our own won't make any difference."
They nodded in agreement.
Ariana yelled out of nowhere, "Ahh, Theo! Please, come back soon!"
Suddenly, a voice rang, "Looking for me?"
As she turned around, seeing that it was Theo, Ariana shouted cheerfully, "Theo! I'm glad you're back!"
Not worrying about the people around her, Ariana ran towards him as she said, "I missed you, did you know that?
Ariana, who practically jumped into his arms, was quickly caught by Theo. "Be careful! What if I had broken a bone in my body because you jumped in my direction too fast?" He laughed, even though he said that.
"I doubt it!" Ariana exploded with laughter. "I'm not so heavy, and I have confidence in the man I chose to be my husband!"
"We're here too, you know?!" Aine snorted slightly, seeing that they were in their own little world and forgot about them.
Little Yui, who came right after with Yuki, Shina and Zaika, said, "Ariana doesn't like bitter coffee either, so, you can't kiss Daddy!"
"Pft!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Zaira, Shina, and Yuki began to laugh loudly when they heard that. The others only looked at them, confused, not understanding why they were laughing at that.
Theo raised his thumb towards his cute daughter, who learns things so fast.
Little Yui seeing this, felt proud, then looked at the confused Ariana and started asking the same questions Theo had asked her.
In the end, Yui even gave Ariana a piece of chocolate that she had saved and said, "Here, chocolate is best for you." Wagging her index finger, Yui continued on, "Wait until you become an adult woman like Mommy, who likes to drink bitter coffee."
"That, that, my belly hurts." Shina was leaning on Yuki to avoid collapsing in laughter, while Yuki did the same. They laughed so hard that her shoulders trembled, and tears formed in their eyes.
Zaira, on the other hand, despite laughing a lot, still kept her composure.
Ariana, who was still confused, could only accept the chocolate, "Thank you, Yui."
Lilith, Nanda, Ainda, Zaira, Ayaka, Yuki, Angel, and Sumire, hearing what little Yui said, found it understandable that they were laughing before.
"Oh yes, how have the people I brought been doing?" Theo suddenly asked.
Nanda smiled when she said, "They're fine, they're also cultivating most of the time."
Theo put his hand on his chin, "I see, that's good…"
Aine considered it a bit, but ended up asking, "Theo, are you going to get into a fight with the Kenedy Clan?"
Theo lifted the corners of his mouth, his face was filled with a confident smile as he immediately replied, "Of course!"
"But…"
Theo interrupted her and said, "I know that the Kenedy Clan has a person in the Wizard Kingdom." Ignoring their surprise expression, he continued to say, "I can also guess that they conflicted with the Beasts Sect, but everything changed when someone from the Wizard Kingdom came, am I wrong?"
"…"
Nanda, who was the first to be able to react through their surprise, said, "That's what we also learned, but we don't know the reason for their fight."
"Haha, anyway, you don't have to think about it too much. It's not like someone in the Wizard Kingdom can kill me." Theo said, relaxed.
He didn't put the Kenedy Clan in his eyes. What really worried him was Katita Kenedy's brother, Jordan, who is in the Spiritual Kingdom.
"Ah, Theo, a man wanted to see you, he said you knew each other," Zenia said when she remembered.
"Oh? Did a human come to say that he knows me?" Theo began to ponder, trying to remember. He barely made contact with many men, so that remark confused him a bit.
"Is it him?" Theo wondered if he remembered anyone.
"Can you tell me where he is now? Is he still in Ravena City?" Theo asked. He was curious about it and even started using his Divine Sense to look all over the city.
"Yes, he's in a house not far from this place," Lilith answered.
Lilith: A cute 13-year-old Demi-Human with straight blond hair that goes down to her butt, C-Cup breasts, and a small body build. Her tail and ears are of cat's, patterned blonde with black stripes, and her pair of eyes were multicolored, the left is golden, and the right is red.
She is a very cheerful girl and is often a mischievous girl, which makes her very cute.
Theo had already found him with his Divine Sense, but he still thanked her with a smile. "Thank you, Lilith."
Lilith replied with a mischievous smile, "No need to thank me, with my skills, it's easy to follow him, you know."
Theo nodded, "It's true, your skills are excellent." Although Theo had erased much of her memories, he avoided wiping away the part where she had trained. It was the fruit of her efforts, it would be a shame to make her forget that.
Ever since she was only 8 years old, she has been vigorously trained. She was one of the guards who looked after the base of the Kenedy Clan, being in the Higher Student Kingdom. She had been brainwashed by them, and she was only following orders. Because of that, Theo had saved her.
"Theo, are you going out to meet this man?" Yuki asked.
Theo nodded, "Yeah, it might take a while, but you don't have to worry."
After exchanging a few words, he quickly left for an inn not far from where he was.
