Golden Fox with System

Three whips made of True Dark Mana suddenly manifested. Theo controlled them from his own shadow and directed them toward the fire dragon to delay it. At the same time, he used his <Devour> ability. He then headed toward the colossal fire dragon just as its speed was successfully slowed by the whips of darkness. A huge mouth expanded from the tip of Theo's tail, becoming wide enough that it could even swallow a blue whale.

"Crack!"

"AHHHHHHHH!"

The sounds of his bones breaking and shifting could be heard coming from Theo's body. The essence of the flames invading him was far too strong, and the amount was too much for him to bear. It put extreme pressure on his bones and organs. Some of the cells being filled had even begun to burst from the excess energy.

"Argh! I need to act faster than I thought…" Theo muttered through his suffering, taking a healing potion up to his mouth.

Soon, his injured organs, bones and cells magically began to heal. Theo wasted no time and drank another healing potion. He continued with this process for almost an hour. He ignored the new screens that kept popping up in front of him with the advancements he was making. This was hardly the best time to read through them.

He spent half his time screaming in pain and the other half drinking healing potions to combat the forces destroying him from within. Theo's body was now covered in flames and looked like a human torch! Even the soil on the ground around him had been burned, forming a small crater around him to a depth of nearly thirty meters.

But Theo didn't have any time to be concerned or surprised by it, all he could do now was take more healing potions like mad to avoid dying!

By the time it was over, he had already spent over 1 million System Points on healing potions. But he couldn't care less about the expense, because his life had been at stake.

"Phew~ it's finally over!" Theo sighed in exhaustion, falling back to the ground.

Theo could only be frightened to see the clouds forming a ball of Dark Mana. He knew this was not the end of his tribulation, so he would have to go through the one for darkness as well. Deep down, Theo was happy to see that, though, because the improvements this was providing for him were better than he could have ever expected!

Lying on the floor resting, Theo downed another healing potion as he looked through the System notifications he had been ignoring.

[Congratulations! You have reached: 11th Layer of the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom]

[Fire Affinity - Advanced to Faux Heavenly Fire]

[Filled 6,051,276 Lineage Cells]

[Congratulations! You have reached: Level 3 Golden Fox Royal Lineage]

[<Dragon Furnace> - Upgraded to <Flaming Dragon Furnace>]

"Just… wow!" Theo thought, shocked. He also noticed that he now had a new tail, too.

*BOOOM*

Theo used his tail to whip at the floor, but it was strong enough to make the whole earth shake, and also cause a loud explosion.

"As expected from a tail that was formed by10 million Lineage Cells." Theo thought in amazement.

"And now? Should I use the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom Elemental Pills right now, or should I use it after I reach the 12th Layer of the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom? Huh… I'm not entirely sure I won't reach the Wizard Kingdom if I use <Devour> in this upcoming Tribulation of Darkness…" Theo thought. "And my new Fire affinity that turned into Faux Heavenly Fire… now it makes sense that I could stand it, I was beginning to think that despite being called heavenly, they didn't really deserve that name…"

If someone who could use this Faux Heavenly Fire heard what he was thinking, you can be sure that they would kick Theo's ass for it. He had no idea just how rare these flames were, even if they are just an imitation.

Having decided to start using some of the Pills now, Theo accessed his System and purchased them. After buying all five Pills, costing 500,000 each, he ultimately spent 2,500,000 System Points.

Theo soon after began with the Earth Pill while there was still time before the tribulation would form.

After consuming the Pill, 60% of his body's organs started to get stronger. This feeling was extremely pleasant and addictive.

Wasting no time, he swallowed the wooden Pill that increases 60% of his Stamina. Not being able to afford to risk compromising their increased strength, Theo waited for the effect of the Pill to pass, before he then used the metal Pill that began to strengthen 60% of his body's bones.

"Well, this will also help me endure it when I devour this next tribulation…" Theo muttered.

*BOOOOOM*

"I can't any further… it's already advanced." Theo said in his heart as he looked up at the sky and "saw" a tremendous Black Wolf of the purest darkness. Its Mana was incredibly intense from the darkness that surrounded it, and it appeared like a dark abyss, almost making it invisible to the naked eye. However, thanks to Theo's Divine Eyes that were still activated, he could see through the darkness to the Dark Wolf within.

As the Dark Wolf approached, Theo had already prepared to use <Devour> by the time it was only a few feet away. He could imagine that this Dark Wolf's best move was to hide in the darkness it created. But fortunately for Theo, his Divine Eyes could see right through it.
