Neo massaged the bridge of his nose.
In the fourth vision of the Sphinx, he wanted to die but couldn't.
He couldn't rest.
It was why he started to see Death as a form of rest.
"It's my form of Death, I shouldn't force it on others."
Despite his words, the act of revival was a turn-off for him.
If he was not 'Immortal', he would've felt reviving himself was disgusting.
"I guess I'll ask them if they want to be revived.
"If they do, I'll revive them. If they don't, I won't.
"I need to return to the Underworld for it, though."
The Well of Death and the pond filled with Holy and Life elements came into his mind.
He needed to complete Barbatos' training and get a holy affinity to survive the Well of Death.
"At least, now I have an idea of how to complete the fourth trial."
He stood up and was about to leave Professor Daniel's office when his caterpillar moved.
It stared at him and opened its mouth.
A powerful suction force started to devour the chaotic Time elementals around Neo.
The caterpillar returned to sleep after having its fill.
"It can do this?"
Neo looked at himself.
He had barely any chaotic Time elementals left around him.
"If someone sees me now, they won't be able to tell I've been regressing for years.
"Only those with time affinity will be able to tell I regressed, and they'll think I regressed a few minutes or hours at best."
Neo stared at the caterpillar.
It was powerful.
And he felt the current abilities it had shown were but a small part of its arsenal.
"If only this pig wasn't so lazy.
"It only wakes up, eats, and sleeps."
The caterpillar rolled around as if it didn't want to hear the scolding.
Shaking his head, Neo left the office.
He went to his class.
He noticed Arthur and Felix as soon as he entered.
A wave of reminiscence surged inside his mind.
He suppressed the nostalgia and sat in his seat.
"Where have you been since the morning?" Felix questioned.
"I was busy with Professor Daniel."
"Professor Daniel? The one in charge of the Meditation Hall?"
"Yes, him."
"Why?" Arthur asked.
"He helped me awaken my Time element."
"Ah, your Time element…" Felix stopped speaking.
Her eyes slowly grew wide as she understood the implications behind Neo's words.
"You had a Time element?"
"Yes."
"You have Death, Darkness, Shadow, Time. That's four elements already! Isn't that too much!?"
Neo shrugged.
Arthur opened his mouth.
"Isn't four elements normal?"
His words made Felix freeze.
She turned to him.
"Dear Sir Kingsley, pray tell how many elements do you have?"
"I haven't awakened all—"
"How many?"
Arthur started to sweat.
Maybe he should've kept his mouth shut.
"Sir Arthur?"
"Exactly. Even if I don't have the Death element, I possess resistance against the Death element." freewēbnoveℓ.com
