Chapter 150 - 150: Going Through the Heavenly Tribulation Part 2

Soon the whole sky calmed down once more. Though it didn't hurt like before, Theo was still suffering from his remaining injuries. So, he approached the Dimensional Bag once again and took out another medium healing potion.

"Huh?" Looking up at the clouds, Theo soon noticed that now, it was no longer lightning being manifested, but flames! These flames built up rapidly, and a small ball of red fire formed and morphed into a giant red bull.

"Wait… couldn't I just use on this flaming bull? Logically speaking, it isn't technically a living being, right?" Theo thought.

Wanting to test his theory, Theo intensified his illusions even further. Though he was rapidly using his Mana, he had plenty to spare right now. Especially after he reached the 9th Layer of the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom.

He hid in the illusions so he would go unnoticed by the girls. He didn't want them all to know about his ability just yet. It was mainly because of their regular contact with the Sects while working in the Weapon Shop. By meeting with them each day, even though the chances may be low that someone could read their minds unnoticed, Theo didn't want to risk it and have his secrets leaked to the Sects.

Soon the Flaming Bull began to descend from the sky toward him. It was as if it was burning the very sky itself. Wherever it passed, a trail of flames followed in its wake.

"!" Just when it reached a few feet from him, Theo activated his ability to devour. His magnificent tail expanded out towards it, growing even larger than the Flaming Bull, as a huge mouth formed at the tip of the tail and completely engulfed it.

"Arghhh…"

Theo moaned in pain at that very moment, as his entire body began undergoing a transformation. Although not as painful as when he first took the heavenly lightning, it was still a pain that attacked his body from the inside.

Soon, more and more notifications from the System appeared in front of him while he was continually improving thanks to consuming these flames. He had guessed that it would work, but still, he couldn't help but be surprised that it actually did. He even began to regret not doing it previously.

[Fire Affinity; Obtained]

[Congratulations! You have reached: 10th Layer of the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom Layer]

[Filled 2,813,018 Lineage Cells]

"Wow! This is incredible!" Theo was in a state of pure ecstasy. He did not expect that in addition to a significant advancement that he would also manage to gain affinity with fire!

"Hahaha! Send me even more!" Theo started to laugh out loud. If before he was worried about this tribulation, now he was more than happy to receive it.

*BOOOOM*

It was as if the heavens had heard his prayer and were now forming a gigantic dragon of fire…

"Wait… wait! I was just kidding!" Theo shouted back.

But of course, his plea was not heard… the red-flame dragon continued to form, and soon it roared loudly as it descended toward the earth from high in the sky. The sheer volume of its roar made the very earth tremble as if they were going through a great earthquake.

As it shook the earth with its roar, the dragon continued its descent from the sky. Theo began to wonder if it would be a good choice to use on this red-flame dragon as well. Also, because it was even bigger and more condensed flames, he didn't know if he could stand such pain from absorbing it.

"Forget that, what is there to fear anyway from a little pain? I can just take a healing potion… that's it, let's do it!" Theo reached his conclusion. Even if he suffers a lot of pain from it, what is he actually afraid of? With his System, he can always buy more healing potions to recover from any backlash.

"I could also turn it into Points instead… but I know that what I need most right now is to increase my cultivation base, even more since I know I have plenty of potential enemies at my door…" Theo muttered as he looked toward the auras he felt. There were people from the Sects flying around and looking toward the orphanage.

"Good thing I increased my illusion ability even further. Thanks to that, it looks like they can't see through it." Theo was relieved.

Glancing up at the sky once more, his full attention was drawn to the red-fire dragon, for it had just finished and was descending from the sky.

*Sigh~

"I just hope it's not too much power for my body to handle… well, I believe I can handle it, especially since I've gained my new fire affinity." Theo thought with a heavy sigh. He hoped that he made the right decision to use this fire dragon to increase his newly acquired cultivation and affinity.

Meanwhile, the girls were lost in Theo's illusions, thinking that he was going through the Heavenly Tribulation using only his willpower and the help of his level 5 armour. It reassured them that not a single shout was coming out of Theo's mouth, unlike before when he first took the onslaught of tribulation.

And so it seemed that they were now much calmer about the current situation, most particularly Yuki. Theo could only sigh at the sight of their reactions, but it couldn't be helped. He knew that the fewer people who knew what he was currently doing, the better.

At least, he wouldn't hide his power from them. That would have been more of a curse than a blessing. He knew that if they had no idea what he was truly capable of, they might not seek his help in the face of danger.

*BOOOOOOM*

Theo furrowed his brow as he noticed that the speed of the fire dragon coming toward him was alarmingly fast, even faster than lightning! It surprised him and even scared him a little.

Thinking quickly, Theo immediately used his Golden Fox Divine Eyes. He now began to see everything in slow motion, but he was also in slow motion. It wasn't like Flash that could see things in slow motion while he continued to move really fast. It was enough, though, to allow time for him to react and plan his next steps more carefully.
