What the seed intrigues me. What consequences are these? And why is my Mana Circuits locked in the first place? There are so many questions in my mind that are running through but all of them remained vague. Now that I think about it, my past seems blurry. Even the death of my parents and how I got the house is also blurry. I can"t remember much of it. Does that mean, this has something to do with my mana circuits sealed? I remembered the seed tell me that due to my mana circuits being sealed, it made most of my recent memories easily forgotten. Now, the question is, who sealed them and why?I looked at the seed and nodded to it. " I am fine with it. Let"s unseal the first seal you can unseal first."
"You will need to pay for my charges if you want to take the seal out. 10 years amount of memories or 10 years amount of lifespan. Just make your choice."
I frowned hearing this. I already expected the seed to say that to me but I never expected that only two choices for me to choose from are the ones left behind.
"Are there any other choices just like the last time?" I asked.
"No. I already told you, unless it"s borrowing the power just like what you did last time, there would be an extra choice but since it"s different, there isn"t any for now because this is so important. It hangs your memories and life in a balance. If you want to ascend into a higher power, just sacrifice your life or your memories instead."
10 years amount of memories, that would be almost half of my memories. I don"t want to give up my memories. On the other hand, lifespan is something equally important too. I don"t want to waste it just for unlocking a seal in my mana circuit. Then, I just remembered that I got a few years" amount of memories from Onizuka. Can I use it?
"Can I use the memory of Onizuka for this instead?"
"Any memory is fine. As long as you can pay for the fee, the deed will be done,"the seed said.
"Then use that," I said immediately. I have no use to it anymore and even if I want to peek on most of his memories, I don"t want to succ.u.mb to the darkness that Onizuka acc.u.mulated.
The seed twirls around and suddenly started spinning as fast as it can. Before I knew it, a few orbs with moving pictures on it flew towards the Crystal Seed. It amounts to 10 orbs overall and from the looks of it, it"s not my memories but rather from Onizuka. The seed stopped spinning and all of a sudden, a violet vortex appeared on the center of the seed and started sucking the orbs of memories inside. I did not expect this to happen because the seed just looked normal. Who would have thought that this seed can be able to eat memories easily with just the way it is doing!
After it is done, the orbs were no longer there. Before I knew it, the seed suddenly releases a few net-like threads and sprays it out on my body. It attached to me and grips hard for my whole body. I can"t move a single part of my whole body.
"F*CK! What the h.e.l.l are you doing to me?!"
"I am removing the seal of your Mana Circuits. Stop struggling."
The net-like threads started to move and for some reason, I suddenly felt a pang of pain all over my body. It was like I was being gripped too hard and being squeezed dry. The feeling made me get too uncomfortable. I gritted my teeth in pain. Is this too much?
The squeezing net-like threads grips more and all of a sudden, some sort of memories started to enter my mind. These memories seem to be foreign yet it seems to be familiar too. But I have no time to remember this, for now. I still have to try my best to endure the pang of pain in my body. The net-like threads were like squeezing something to my body and after a few minutes of excruciating pain, I suddenly felt a gus.h.i.+ng cold current in my whole body. It was like something is... released?Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
After that feeling, the net-like threads released me from the pain. I collapsed on the ground, devoid of energy but at the same time, it seems like something changed from me. However, I don"t really know. It was not something I can easily pinpoint. My whole body became too hard to control and before I knew it, even though I was in my consciousness, I lost it and collapsed.
...
When I wake up, I find myself back into the real world. Maple and Moonlight are sleeping on the side, while Catmod is also resting. Hikari and Itazura are sleeping beside me. The only one not sleeping is Miya who is currently sharpening her dagger. She is proficient enough on it. Miya noticed me wake up but she still continues sharpening her knife without stopping at all.
"Oh, you are awake. Are you fine now?" Miya asked.
"Y-yeah," I said but in truth, it"s not because I felt like my whole body is sore. The feeling of being constricted by several binds of ropes makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.
I stood up and stretch my limbs a bit. It felt like I was renewed but I also felt like I did not change at all. What made me surprised is the fact that I suddenly felt more powerful. My maximum mana is also overwhelming, which means I am almost there ready to do my rank up soon.
The cave"s only sound came from the sharpening knife of Miya. I did not bother to initiate a conversation but the situation is rather awkward. I was hesitating to say anything at first but then, Miya broke the silence first.
"Have you ever wondered why I have chosen you to be the person to handle the egg of the Elemental Pixie?"
With her question, my curiosity reacts. Just like what her question says, why did she ever do it? Before I can say anything, Miya answered her own question.
"It"s because of your potential. The potential that might help us win the incoming war brought upon by a conflict."
