Anon is lying inside the cave, The floor underneath him is fully covered in blood and He is eating berries, While smoking cigar.

Master, You should take some sleep. You have lost too much blood in today’s training. Auric Energy suggested.

“Fuck Sleep… What’s the next thing in the list ?” Anon asked with a serious expression.

Master, The next training is ‘Self-Control’. Auric Energy spoke.

“What do I have to do in this Training ?” Anon asked with a serious expression.

Master, Try to bend your pinky finger forward without moving rest of your hand. Auric Energy spoke.

“Hmm…? What’s hard in that ?” Anon asked as he immediately opened his hand and tried to bend his pinky finger forward without moving the rest of his hand, But he failed to do so.

“What the ** ?” Anon spoke with an Irritated expression as he tried again but failed again.

Anon continued to do this for the next 10 minutes, But as he did this… His anger started to grow.

“Why the ** is that finger moving with my pinky finger ?” Anon asked with a very angry expression but at last he lost to his anger and broke both of his fingers.

*Crack-Crack*

That’s Body Control Master… In order to achieve it, You have to stand on one leg and close your eyes. Auric Energy spoke as she healed Anon’s fingers.

“Why on one leg ?” Anon asked.

Standing on one leg and closing your eyes will strengthen your Body Control very much, Master. Auric Energy spoke.

“Fine.” Anon spoke as he immediately stood on one leg and closed his eyes, But as soon as he did this… His balance wore off and his eyes opened up.

“What the ** ?” Anon spoke as he immediately closed his eyes once again and attained the same pose.

Anon failed to maintain the pose for more than 5 minutes, No matter how many times he tried.

Master, Make my Energy your eyes… Let it flow around you and Sense the gravitational field around your body. You will have an easy time if you do that. Auric Energy spoke.

“Fine.” Anon spoke as he released some of the Auric Energy out of his body and started feeling the gravitational field around him.

Suddenly, His focus increased and His balance becomes even more stable.

…

“*Sigh* What a weak Appearance for a Mind Flayer at it’s best.” Suddenly, A voice rang inside Anon’s Mind.

“Hmm…?”

“Don’t you remember me ? The esteemed one who travelled through the minds of billions and Killed without even looking ?” The Voice spoke.

“Mind Flayer ?” Anon asked with a smile.

“Exactly… Mind Flayer, Kid.”

“What are you doing Inside my mind ?” Anon asked.

“Haa… You have more than what you think in your mind, Kid. May I ask, What are you doing right now ?” Mind Flayer asked with a smile.

“Training to go to a mountain where you hided that Box’s Key.” Anon replied.

“Why do you want to go back ? You have a Very good reputation here and You know how to kill any demon, Just inject them with a simple dose of Pure mana and they are as good as dead.” The Mind Flayer spoke with a smile.

“Well, Why you wanted to go back ?” Anon asked with a neutral expression.

“Hmm…? That’s an interesting question… Why would I want to go back ? Let me think… It was because I wanted to help the Demon King.

Do you also have someone that you want to help on the other side ?” Mind Flayer asked.

“There is someone…” Anon replied.

“Well, Well… Ain’t this pathetic then ?” The Mind Flayer spoke with a smile.

“What’s pathetic ?” Anon asked.

“You are letting an energy take over your body.” The Mind Flayer replied with a Smile.

“What do you mean by ‘Take Over’ ?” Anon asked with a confused expression.

“This Auric Energy… I have observed it over time. She promised to give you a way out of this situation didn’t she ?” The Mind Flayer asked.

“She did…” Anon replied. f𝐫eweb𝗻o𝐯el.𝚌o𝗺

“She says that she has Ultimate Healing techniques and yet she couldn’t save her last Host, That Elderly Elf… Don’t you think something is wrong, Anon ?” The Mind Flayer replied.

“What do you want to say ?” Anon asked with a Serious expression.

“Energies are always searching for hosts, Anon. They make them believe that they are their friends and on the right time… When you need their powers the most, They will tell you to go through a body strengthening program in order to harness it’s full potential.

After **ing up your body for Seven days, You become so weak that you can’t even fight her back when she is taking over your body and you have already made spots for her in your whole body Anon. She will lock your consciousness in your own body and rule your body as she wants…. I don’t think you want to give your body away like that, right ?” Mind Flayer asked with a smile.

“Why should I believe you ?” Anon asked with a serious expression.

“You are a Mind Flayer… Just like me Kid and Mind Flayers Don’t need Super strength or Super speed to cross through an ocean, Anon.

You need to use Mind Control powers in order to reach there, Not her powers and I don’t think she has any plans to give you any powers in the first place.

Kick her out of your system Anon… You are a Beast who lives on mana and Manipulates people like tools in order to use them for your profit.

Don’t make me sad like that, you are Anon Agreil. Kick this **ing thing out of your system and start behaving like a man.” As soon as The mind Flayer stopped talking, Anon’s eyes were forcefully opened by the Auric Energy.

Master, Master… Are you alright ? Auric Energy asked with a worried voice.

“Yes, Yes… I am alright, Auric Energy. Hey why don’t we do it later ? I should take some rest now.” Anon spoke.

No, Master…

“Hmmm ?”
