Chapter 58 58:Breakthrough
?
Several days passed by in the blink of an eye.
Classes went on as usual, and in between classes, Lucas increased his training frequency. Under Harris's strict tutelage, Lucas could perceive the changes occurring within him.
His control over mana had improved by leaps and bounds. He could now punch normally without breaking the eggs but it still breaks if he uses too much force.
Unable to overcome his guilt for the wastage of eggs, Lucas replaced eggs with sponge balls. If it's squeezed when he punches the dummy, then it's a failure.
Meanwhile, in his free time, Lucas sneaked into the dungeon for a few hours. He would clear his daily hunting quota by hunting five monsters and then leave.
Since he participated in green gates dungeons, the risk exposure was quite less. Fortunately, his bad luck seems to have been dormant and did not come into play. It was as if his fate had been conserving all the bad luck to be used during the Hunting Field Test.
Seeing Lucas pushing himself like a maniac, Parth started calling Lucas a training masochist.
Parth seems to be adept in the art of getting onto one's nerves. To ease the tension, Frederick would arrange a spar in which Lucas would be the one who lost.
Parth was too fast for Lucas to handle. Lucas knew Parth had an agility stat of max 2-Star even though he was in the mid-2-Star realm…
"Damn, you....."
"After today, I will beat your ass to the point that every time you shit, you will remember my hits."
Lucas took off his shirt and sat in the middle of his room. Bluish-green mana stones of radiant fist-sized gemstones lay around him.
Lucas spent a fortune to buy the mana stones. Each of them was at an intermediate level in terms of purity.
Lucas's breathing hastened as he rubbed his sweaty palms while looking over the system.
[Experience points:204500]
After running around crazily, he had finally accumulated enough experience points to buy bloodline potions.
Lucas's goal was to save and buy golden bloodline potions or above cause his locked bloodline ability of his would only be unlocked at golden or above, so he did not want to waste points on silver but he need to improve quickly due to the dangers ahead in the hunting field test so if he could not accumulate enough, he would have gone for silver.
"Thank God, without that 6-Star mountain troll, I wouldn't have reached this far.
Singing praises of God, he began the operation.
"Everything is set. Upgrading the bloodline is quite painful and needs a supply of mana. I hope this is enough and the process went successfully."
Lucas clicked the buy button and a small vial of 10ml appeared in thin air. The vial was colourless but the contents inside it glowed with golden austere.
"May Goddess bless me."
Lucas prayed and gulped the contents.
His lips contorted due to heavy bitterness but he made sure to chug down without wasting a single drop.
"Haaaaaa..."
As soon as Lucas lowered his hand, he felt something bursting within me. Something was slowly breaking and morphing inside him.
Golden clusters of energy started to gather near the center of Lucas's heart. His heart beat faster and wilder, making loud thumping sounds as if it wanted to escape from the confinement of the rib cage.
Lucas felt a gentle pain in his heart which was still bearable.
"Is this it? I thought it would hurt more."Lucas, who just let out a chuckle, felt his body bursting out of nowhere.
His lips opened wide while his eyes bulged, becoming bloodshot.
Starting from his chest, veins started to appear all over his body. Thick veins bulge making his body convulse.
His pores opened sucking on mana greedily and after some time blood started to pour out from his skin, eyes, nose, and his lips.
Lucas wanted to scream but he was unable to due to the momentary shock.
"Kykk…"
"Ahhh.....Ahhhhhhhh!
Not able to sit anymore, Lucas jumped up in pain while yelling loudly. He wriggled around crazily and hit the walls, losing his mind.
His body felt hot with a stinging sensation covering every part of his body as if thin needles were stabbed into every pore of his body.
Like a beast, he scratched the wall and then scratched himself to get rid of the prickling sensation but no matter what he did, everything was for naught…...
Blood oozed out from his body, exhausted by screaming until his throat brunt, he fell to the ground convulsing like dead fish.
His eyes became blank and his mind finally shut off due to the exceeding level of pain.
After a few moments…
Drops of tears started to slide down his cheek.
"It hurts...."
"It hurts like hell..."
A painful groan escaped from his lips causing tears to leak out from his eyes.
Lucas curled up and hugging his knee, cursed while shivering in pain.
A splitting headache assaulted his mind making him unable to discern his surroundings. Everything looked dim and blurry.
As he moved his finger, he found something sticky and gooey, like filth covering him.
When his eyesight returned fully, he was startled to find a puddle of blood underneath him along with a blackish-dark slimy substance emitting a very rotten odour.
"..."
His nose twitched due to the unbearable smell.
"Just what sin have I committed in my past life that I have to go through all this..."
"Huh! The pain is gone."
Startled, Lucas got up and moved his body.
"My body feels lighter and I feel more alive than ever."
Lucas hurriedly opened his status screen to take a look.

"Holyshit!"
"Telekinesis...."
Gaping at the status screen, Lucas covered his mouth with his hand.
"Fucking hell...This twirp's family had telekinesis as a bloodline ability. No, I can't believe it."
Rubbing his eyes, Lucas pinched himself to wake him up to reality but the words on the screen did not disappear.
"This is reality."
He almost shed tears of joy.
"The ancestors of this kid's family might have been quite powerful until bloodline degradation took place. I wonder from whose genes this bloodline ability came"
"Is it from my father or mother? Maybe my father wooed my mother who belongs to a rich family and eloped."
Letting his run wild, Lucas couldn't help but salute the spirit of his heroic father giving him a thumbs up.
'Father, thanks for sacrificing yourself for your future generation. You might have surely lived a hard life with a constant threat from my mother's family.'
"Let's see...Telekinesis is the ability to manipulate objects from a distance using mental power or by non-physical means."Lucas mumbled trying to remember the telekinetic power he had seen in anime.
"I hope one day I can hit my enemy with buildings just like a mob. What an interesting way to kill?"Lucas rubbed his palms and then extended his hand.
He tried to pick one of his books from afar.
"Book come to me..."Lucas imagined the processes in his head over and over again while his heart screamed in excitement.
However...
Even after a moment, nothing happened.
Lucas then made various hand signs one after another only to feel thin air ruffling him.
"System, did you just scam me by showing this?"Lucas gritted his teeth and pouted.
Running his brain, he decides to change his target trying to lift various objects.
After a few moments of testing.....
THUD!THUD!THUD!
Lucas hit their head on the wall and shouted"Just kill me. I can't take this humiliation."
Undergoing repeated trials and errors, the successful result he got was that he could lift the eraser, candy, and pens.
"What do you want me to do? Throw mini stones at my enemy and kill them by making them laugh."
"No, Lucas, calm down."
"Great power looks useless at a low level. They just need to be levelled up and then.."
"Or maybe I need to train my power properly. Most people began to get the hang of bloodline ability from the 3-Star stage."
Saliva dripped from Lucas's lips as he emerged in the sublime fantasy where he would crush the enemies just by lifting a finger.
'Time Dilation…My foot…I am gonna make telekinesis the best bloodli…"
THUD!
Lucas choked as the eraser that was kept flying by his power fell.
Lucas felt someone slap his ego just now but he ignored it.
"Let's take a bath."
Knock…Knock…
"Who is it now?"
Confused by the sudden visit, Lucas opened the door.
SLING!
As the door slid, a sickly thin woman with fuzzy hair covering her face reflected in his eyes.
Her clothes were stained with a reddish liquid.
A chill crept up inside him and as soon as the woman ruffled her hair, Lucas's hair stood up seeing a pale bloody face and he screamed in terror.
"GHOST!Ahhh!"
"GHOST!"
The other side also yelled, making Lucas's heart skip a beat.
BAAM!
Lucas shut the door to save his life and prayed to the Goddess…
"Oh, my God..now how did I offend an undead and how did an undead appear here."
KNOCK…KNOCK…
The door vibrated as the other side smashed it repeatedly.
Lucas ran his mind at full speed, looking for his gun and sword.
'I don't think this is an undead. Either someone is playing a prank on me or she may be after my life.'
Just as he picked up his phone to inform the authority, he saw a message from an unknown person.
[Dimwit, It's me. Professor Shiya, open the door.]
"What?"Lucas shrieked in panic and opened the door.
"Professor Shiya, what are you doing here and why do you look like a ghost.?"
Shiya, who was about to scold Lucas for treating her rudely, choked as he stared at Lucas.
Feeling her odd gaze, Lucas screamed in panic and covered his dirtied body.
Fortunately, his lower body was covered.
"Cough…Cough…"
"I wanted to talk about that candy. When you are free, meet me in the garden"
Shiya muttered averting her gaze and was about to leave but seeing the mess inside the room, asked curiously "What is going on here?"
Seeing her sharp gaze, Lucas smiled bitterly"Nothing, I just took a potion to get rid of my body impurities."
"I see…."Shiya nodded and walked away.
Walking back, she waved her hand to fan some air over his face.
Sniff…Sniff….
Lucas, crying inwardly cursed himself for being absent-minded,
Having his image ruined, he closed the door with a bang.
