Chereads / His Promised Neverland / Chapter 49 - A Plan That Needs Completion

Chapter 49 - A Plan That Needs Completion

After collecting a few of the treasures .... Theo halted his seizing action .. and just left all of the Cores inside the list ..

he had taken far too much ... although there were a lot of them .. it simply didn't change the fact that .. quality was better than quantity .. and the latter took the high quality and left the cheap stuff ....

but luckily .. he only took one Core Egg from the Core list ... and left everything in place ...

but before he devised the plan he had in mind .. he took out the three white bright crystal emblems .. and placed them ... on the sofa next to him ...

he first took the one with the weakest ... energy and brought it into his hands closing his eyes as he meditated ...

soon .. strands of energy found their way prickling his orifices .. and filling him with a white pure holy light .. that invaded his blood ... system .. instantly enhancing everything ...

.... but before the energy could spread all over his entire system .. Theo took over the controls .. and directed the immense power towards his mind ...

the energy obeyed and flew straight through the nose to the brain .. and wrapped itself around it like a flat snake ...

a light as great as the sun shone inside his head .. as it turned his brain into crystal .. but when one looked at Theo's face they would see a face filled with happiness instead of pain ...

Theo knew that .. if he enhanced his brain capacity and mind power ... he could multitask ... even better .. he could use his will with great proficiency this time ...

and with time .. he would grow to be an intelligent existence ...

a strong one ... too ...

as he absorbed the purity of the energy... Theo's brain .. glowed in a brilliant light ... making his closed eyes open ..and effulge ...

white bright veins ... spread across his face .... spreading through his veins into his system ..

.. Theo felt an immense power gathering in his skin .. and muscles ...

at that moment .. he figured that .. it would be good to increase his physical strength and mental strength before moving to the main part of distributing energy throughout his entire body ..

he knew himself that .. increasing his energy capacity too much would make him lose vitality and metamorphose him into a mage from the old era ...

Theo didn't mind being one .. it was just that .. he liked his physical strength .. better than his element abilities ...

his will .. wasn't focused on quintessence .. rather his bodily strength ...

his endurance made it so that .. even if he was in a dire situation .. he would be able

being afraid was not in his dictionary .. he always steeled his will and always found himself at the top even though he was weaker than others ....

although most of his memories were not there .. he felt that .. his will was the result of his great determination and endurance ...

and without any hesitation .. he chose to reinforce and improve his strength first and would focus more on his energy after getting to the military .. or maybe even better ..

he would reinforce his energy ... after getting filled to the brim with great strength that would be comparable to none ...

as the veins spread throughout his body ... his cells reacted and attached themselves to his muscles and joined in .. the process and reinforced his strength even more ..

the most shocking thing he discovered was that .. even the cells were using their energy to make him stronger .. they weren't losing anything and neither were they running out of energy ....

infact .. they were benefiting from him more than he was benefiting from them ..

soon .. his strength soared through the atmosphere ... and startled the captain who was busy cultivating .. a strange energy that somehow got into her room ...

her meditation pose was immediately disturbed ... as she opened her eyes ..

her strength and energy power had received two magnificent stages ... making her a 7th stage Golden Rank captain ...

and with so much energy still .. out in the open .. she figured out that ... if she kept meditating and cultivating the energy she would get to the peak ... and later ascend .. and gain herself power she had once lost before ...

but after she was disturbed she could not help but furrow her brows as she made her way down the stairs towards the basement where she felt the horrifying power ..

Theo sat in a lotus position as the emblem crumbled to nothing but dust after getting absorbed ...

when comparing himself with a Golden Rank now .. he felt like he was insulted .. even a Prodigy Rank creature would hold no candle against him ...

infact his strength had reached the middle stages of the Prodigy Rank ... and was still going towards the peak ... and in a haste at that ...

he himself couldn't stop the smile widening on his face ...

his strength then received another breakthrough and soon reached the peak ...

his body became lighter with every second that passed by the clock ..

and before he knew it .. the veins covering his body .. spread even more ... and bulged out of his muscles and face .. and blinded the entire room with holy energy ..

within that moment .. something happened inside his body ...

his cells were vibrating in joy as they mutiplied more and more .. his strength started to hastily increase at this moment ...

his blood boiled as white and gold clashed ...

his skin .. hardened ... and glistened with a white goldish energy that made his vitality more higher than anyone with great vitality .. aside from the top dogs ...

his body became lighter and lighter to the point where he felt like he was one with the air particles ...

he felt like he could just jump into the air and suddenly .. disappear into space ..

his hair started turning from light brown .. to a color similar to that of copper's ...

and this kept on changing until it became khaki ... and it stopped ...as his face received more woman features ... and handsomeness ... his youth would even make the beautiful ladies in the world jealous of him ...

his previous fine built body expanded again .. and made him look like a strong man with tight ripped muscles ...

he was big but not as big as body builders ...

he was just in a fine shape ... his chiseled muscles .. were glowing with power ..

his body was neither big and neither small

... and in the next moment .. instead of increasing .. his muscles moved as if like they alive .. and struggling ...

they shrunk ... with each second passing ...

and then all of a sudden .. a gust of wind picked up inside the basement .. and his body ... expanded again to its previous state ...

he felt even more energetic than before ...

his power had broken through the Prodigy Rank .. and halted at the first step of the Demolition Rank ... The journey to becoming a full fledged commander ...

his cells and blood stopped moving and the air around him quietened ...

he heaved a deep breath out ... and suddenly .. the air he breathed out caused a lamp infront of him shatter to dust ...

even though his energy was still at the Golden Rank ... he felt like ... it was on par with his strengthened body ...

after standing up .. he loosened his body and warmed up ... stretching his legs .. arms .. everything ..

and every creak and crack. ... shook the air .. with a booming sound ...

whilst he was still stretching ... the door of the basement opened .. and in came ... a Red Haired beauty .. with eyes as calm as a peaceful forest ...

her face calmed after seeing that nothing bad had happened ... and seeing that Theo was fine .. she sighed in relief ... but her expression soon changed ..

"You .. what happened to your strength ..??" she asked out of curiosity ..

Theo hastily turned back and saw the captain looking at him ...

"I improved it a little .." he said in a joking manner ...

'His aura now seems so calm ... it's like he's not here ... but why do I feel like he's still a Golden Rank ... ' captain Rose thought ...

when suddenly .. Theo came up to her ... really close to her ..

her cheeks reddened ... Theo then took out an emblem .. and looked at captain Rose before grabbing her soft hand

..

the captain was shocked by this sudden action .. she even forgot to look at the emblem in his hands ...

"My captain .. I would like you to have this ... " Theo said as he placed the red crystal emblem on her hand ..

and another one bigger than the one her hand appeared on Theo's hand .. and he did the same thing he did before and placed the emblem in her palm ...

"Take this as well .. " he said and closed her hands ..

immediately .. captain Rose looked at the two emblems .. and her eyes shook in shock ..

"What .. .. what .. how ... " she mumbled in a low voice ...

Theo just chortled and offered her a seat next to him on the couch ..

"I know that .. this is none of my business .. but captain .. I realised .. that you're attuned .. with the fire element ... everytime you come in contact with fire you would either be gloomy .. sad .. or ecstatic ... so I got you these ... I'm sorry for prying into your business .. but it was my priority to treat you with respect captain ..." Theo said as his eyes closed .. with his arms spread at the top of the couch ...

captain Rose turned her gaze and looked at Theo with wide eyes .. soon though they softened .. as tears gathered .. but she then prevented them from falling and wiped them off before Theo could see ...

"I can't believe it ... but I guess I have to ... thank you ... Theo .. this means so much to me .. " captain Rose said in a soft voice ..

a sweet smile blossomed .. as her hands clenched ...

"I know that you have your own reasons for not telling me what was going on in your life .. I mean ... hehehe ... it's your secret .. and your decision ... all I did was get you what you actually needed .. it's nothing much captain ... " he said .. waving his hands around ..

"Yeah you're right ... but I still am very happy that you did this for me ..." her face then reddened .. and expression stiffened after saying that ....

she never thought those words would actually come out of her mouth ..

'Oh my ... he's going to think .. that .. I'm obsessive ..!!' she thought ...

"Yeah .. sure ... after all you're my captain at the end of the day .." Theo responded not paying what she said to mind ...

"Yeah .. right ..... uhm .. do you mind if I cultivated them in here ... ??" she asked without turning to look at his expression ..

"Sure .. you can take all the time you need ... " he said .. as he looked at her with a friendly smile ...

'I can't believe this guy would give me all of this despite what happened the first time I met him ... and I still can't stop but think of why he insists on calling me captain ..' the captain thought ... but even with those thoughts .. she felt that the word 'captain' coming out of his mouth was pleasing to her ears ...

subconsciously .. a smile found itself on her face ...

"Oh uhm .. captain ... after you finish up .. I think we should discuss things about the plan I have ... we must make sure it succeeds ... " Theo suddenly said .. as captain Rose sat in a lotus position ...

after hearing him .. she nodded her head and closed her eyes as she started with the weak emblem ... at the Mutated Peak Prodigy Rank ...

the moment .. she started running her breathing technique ... the energy inside the emblem ... shook and spread wide like vines made up of red hot energy that went straight into her pores ...

strangely though ... after thinking about it .. Theo noticed that .. captain Rose's absorption ability far exceeded his ...

infact each second the vines made a pulse ... captain Rose would've already absorbed 30% of the energy ...

and since she was already at the peak .. the emblem couldn't help her that much .. it could only reinforce her fire element veins ...
