Chapter 168
Khal was within his own body, in the mental world he had entered through the Mana Cultivation Method.
And within that realm lay a fragment capable of bringing him to instant death.
It was the wild soul of the Amphisbaena, trapped within the fragment.
Calling it a curse would not be an exaggeration.
The agony Khal had endured over the past few days was not due to poison. The Amphisbaena’s soul had been thrashing inside him, trying to tear his body apart from the inside.
‘…It’s infuriating to be pushed around by a thing like this.’
Khal felt a surge of indignation for several reasons.
The fact that he probably couldn’t have reached this point without McCally’s help was one of them.
In his past life as the Demon King, he could manipulate demonic energy as easily as his own limbs, but now, as a human, he had to control mana through a Mana Cultivation Method.
Did that mean the Mana Cultivation Method was flawed?
To put it bluntly, that was nothing more than an excuse.
Khal simply lacked a deeper understanding of the method compared to his master, McCally.
In that case, his next course of action was clear.
‘I will surpass you, McCally.’
Vroom! Vroom!
Barely reigning in his emotions, Khal forcibly reconnected the lost pathways through his Circuits.
From this moment on, he needed to focus entirely on crushing that fragment.
Whoosh!
The soul of the Amphisbaena refused to tolerate Khal’s actions.
[You… I will make sure you, and only you, die.]
