Breakthrough

Grey's eyes slowly opened. Everything looked blurry to him. He tried to sit up, but pain attacked him when he tried. An injury could be seen on his back. He felt his back being wet, so he tried to touch it. His hands were covered with his black blood.

"Shouldn't ascendance be safe?" He questioned out loud.

Since the wound is still bleeding, it must have been a severe injury. Otherwise, the damage would have healed on its own when Grey was unconscious.

He stopped moving around, laid there silently, waiting for the damage to heal. While lying, he could not see his front or back, but he could see his left and right. He could see only trees. He has never seen such trees. The trees were only as thick as bamboo, but they weren't tall enough to be considered bamboo, and they had black leaves. The tallest tree he could see looked to be about 6 m.

Finally, after laying down for an unknown amount of time, the injury healed enough for him to stand up. He stood up by taking the help of the ground. He slowly started moving around the jungle to find a city or a way out of the jungle.

While traveling, he came across many attacks from beasts, but he was still a level 4. Even if a Lion is injured, it still can kill a jackal smoothly. He was a Level 4, and the highest attack he faced was of an intermediate Level 3. He quickly killed the beast, stored the demon core in his clothes pocket, cooked the beast's flesh, and ate it.

After traveling for hours, he finally found a village in the jungle. He took a breath of relief when he did not detect any being more powerful than him.

In Nehan,

Dev was meditating in his room, trying to open the Sacral chakra. He was trying to break the energy barrier. He forced the Prana to bombard the energy barrier.

"Boom,"

Suddenly, there was an explosion only Dev could hear or notice. The Prana broke the energy barrier, and the Sacral chakra was successfully open.

Gentle energy traveled through his whole body, strengthening the body in return. A new kind of energy was born in his body: Creative energy. Now, his sperm quality would always remain at peak, even on his death bed.

He could feel himself stronger than before, so to make sure he called status.

Suddenly a black screen with white fonts appeared in front of him:

Healing Prana.

There was a collective growth in all of his attributes, whether Physical, mental, or spiritual. Especially Spiritual growth, his Prana increased by a good margin.

He was happy with his growth this time. He was feeling rejuvenated, so he called Rose, "Ready for another match?"

"No," Rose refused straight.

"I just won once," Dev tried to coax her.

"No, It's not that. I think I am going to have a breakthrough today," Rose responded from the other side,

"Okay, Come to the clinic. I want to see your breakthrough and the inn room is too small to have a breakthrough," Dev suggested.

"Okay, I will be there in an hour," Rose announced.

"Do you need anything for help," Dev asked.

"No, It's just a Level 1 breakthrough. I don't need anything," Rose answered.

"I'll meet you in your clinic, bye," She announced and cut the call.

A smile appeared on Dev"s face. First, his Sacral chakra opened, and now Rose is going to have a breakthrough. Everything was going well for him. When Rose reached Level1, Dev could also try to become Level 1 with her help in hunting.

"Meow,"

Suddenly, Lily cried. He noticed Lily glaring at him. He checked the time, and he knew why this cat was glaring.

"You gluttonous fool, neither do you turn into a beast nor are you growing up," Dev spoke while taking out the meat for her. Dev can still hold Lily wholly in his palm. She was about two years old, yet she never seems to grow. The giant tiger's picture at the mountain's foot is still bright in Dev's mind. Lily's mother also looked the same, but her size was regular. How can there be so much difference between the two of the same species?

"Hiss," Lily hissed at him in response. She was growing intelligent day by day, eating beast's meat.

"Ahh," Hissing wasn't enough, so Lily rushed and bit him on his foot. Dev was stunned by her speed.

"I am sorry. I would never speak ill of you, my queen. Please, let me go," Dev apologized.

"Meoo,"

Lily seemed to understand what Dev said, so she released his foot. Tiny teeth marks could be seen on his foot, as she wasn't trying to hurt him.

Dev stretched out his hands. Lily ran and started rubbing her head in his hand. He picked her up, and she started cleaning his unshaven beard.

They played for a while. Lily even forgot to eat.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the clinic's door. Dev opened the door, and rose was standing at the door.

"Enter," Dev announced.

Rose nodded and entered.

"Are you sure? You don't need anything?" Dev asked once again.

"Yes, you're making a big deal out of it. The only difference between a regular and a Level 1 is that Level 1 is stronger. I can still defeat a Level 1 without a breakthrough," Rose responded, found a position to sit, sit down on the mat, took the pose for the meditation.

Dev didn't speak in response. He just looked. The energy in the surrounding started going turbulent the moment she started meditation.

All the five elements were moving toward her. Dev was stunned to see the response of five elements toward her. She is going to be a freak in the future. It was the first time he felt sorry for the whole Churchill clan. He has never heard about any individual who could control five elements other than an ancient Elf king in Nehan.

The breakthrough didn't take long. Rose has reached Level 1.

***

The five elements are Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Ether.

Rose didn't know about her being able to use five elements. Only Dev did. You can only see what elements you can control when you reach Level 3.
