We 'chilled' together for a little while. Only after 4 hours had passed did we separate and the worst thing about it was the fact that I was unable to speak with Rose alone the whole time.

A few hours later, one could see that I was sitting in a lotus position on a blue mat. At the same time, transparent specks of light started to form in the air while moving towards my heart and accumulated as ethereal amorphous clouds formed in the center of my heart and expanded out with it. Those same clouds eventually turned into pure divine mana and diluted into the blood the moment my heart pumped.

"I'm going to sleep. Goodnight

" Olivia spoke groggily from under her sheets as she felt as if her soul was sinking into her pillow

I slowly opened my eyes allowing my radiant golden eyes to shine within the darkroom.

'Finally, she is asleep' I sighed and quickly flickered out of the room.

Flying in the skies above the city, I looked down at the mediocre view with a bit of melancholy. While a view from up here might seem beautiful to many people who live in this city or really, anyone in this continent, in reality, it was nothing compared to what earth looked like back when I was alive in it.

'I might have lived a ** life, but at least I can appreciate beauty when I see it' I sighed as images of greyish and slightly colorless memories replayed over and over again in my mind.

It was then that I heard a loud voice call out to me, making me halt my advancement towards the forest and look back.

"Hey, you! What do you think you are doing flying above the city like this huh?

" His deep voice rang out in the skies as countless green elemental particles moved towards him.

"What?

" I looked at him with confusion. Was the rule about not flying supposed to be enforced at all? Why is it suddenly being enforced now?

"You heard what I said! Get out of the sky or I'll have to force you down! Only those in the Colorless Feather clan can fly up here. That damned red demon might be able to get away with it because she is strong, but when the boss gets the treasure, he'll make sure to teach her a lesson for breaking the territory rules... You on the other hand I can take care of myself

" A disgusting smile curled up his lips as he looked me up and down, consequently making me frown in disgust.

"DON'T YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT! I AM A MAN WITH DESI-

" He was finally able to see my mask under the light of my eyes. His body froze in place while the urge to flee overtook his entire being.

While he might have been disgusting, he clearly was not stupid, otherwise, he would have tried attacking me for the bounty the moment he saw my mask. However, clearly, he was a man who read the papers, and therefore, he had chosen to run rather than fight 'The demon who killed a wyvern'.

He believed that Rose had killed the wyvern and had given me the credit for holding it off for so long, but in the off chance that the rumors were wrong, he did not want to be the man to test their credibility.

With a sigh, I quickly used a lighting body which increased my power level to approximately 320,000. I then flickered in front of him before taking out both my katana's and slicing him into 8 pieces as if I was cutting onions.

I then swiftly used the gluttony flame to swallow him whole which not only gave me pleasure and soul energy but also gave me mana from technically consuming his entire being, mana heart and body included.

While before I would swallow a mana-heart and would have my body destroy it and break it down to its key elements, in this example being air, before allowing it to travel through my body as nutrients, therefore strengthening it further, this time it would automatically go to my heart to increase its cultivation.

While humans could cultivate, beasts start off by eating other beasts to get stronger. It is technically not needed for dragons and other beasts that are inherently intelligent enough to cultivate, to eat other beasts, but they choose to since it is the fastest way to cultivate due to cultivation methods working better on people who could not cultivate through eating.

Since I had both absolute consumption and pride, none of this applied to me, meaning even though I had consumed a dragon heart and now could get stronger by eating another being, I could also gain the same results from using a cultivation technique like the breathing technique I was using before being able to cultivate properly.

Anyway, after allowing my flame laced with the gluttony sin swallow the 8 pieces of the man, I felt a surge of energy enter both my heart and my soul, making me feel both a cool breeze and a huge amount of euphoria, yet nothing compared to the amount I felt when I had killed the wyvern.

A few seconds later, I turned into a golden bolt of lighting and shot towards the forest at the fastest speed I could muster in this form and without using lightning of absolution. It took me a few minutes to get to the forest and even longer to reach the hole that was the entrance of the wyvern's laboratory.

I deactivated the lighting body and allowed myself to fall into the hole, letting gravity do all the work forme rather than having to shoot down at full speed.. It only took around 30 seconds for me to reach the bottom, making me instantaneously activate lighting body again before flickering off into the tunnel as lighting crackled off me and onto the walls.
