Chapter 87: Cleansing
The horrendous pressure coming from Estrada wasn't something Felix who was a Warrior Apprentice could handle.
His body couldn't keep up with the energy pressing down on him, making him fall headfirst onto the ground.
But that was when a voice entered his mind.
[Succesfully created a new skill!]
Suddenly, it felt as if time stopped for a second, but that one second felt like an eternity to Felix.
'Huh, what's happening?', it all started with a puzzled question inside his mind. Then,
"Boom!"
Before he could find the answer to his question, Felix felt as if a bomb had detonated inside his consciousness.
"Whooshhh!"
And then, as if a black hole had formed deep inside his mind, every useless thought started to twist around at one point, until it absorbed everything leaving behind nothing of disturbance.
Felix, whose body was moving closer to the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, showing pure clarity without any disturbing emotions.
Seeing the floor getting near to his face, he quickly moved his right leg and stomped hard onto the floor, balancing his swaying body.
Like an agile cat, he turned his body around and went back to the position he was before his body fell down, but with his eyes open now.
Seeing such a spectacle play right before their eyes, Estrada and Mr.Dealer arched their brows but then nodded at the boy's determination to not fall at the pressure.
But only Felix knew what was happening inside his mind.
'Huh??'
No, even he didn't truly understand what actually was happening.
'My thoughts....'
He felt as if he didn't have to worry about anything, that as long as he had the ability to think, he could find an answer to every problem there is.
'Let's do this!'
Standing straight like a tall tree, he closed his eyes, unaffected by the sheer pressure pressing down on him.
Even though a great mass of mana was being engulfed on his whole being, his muscle nerves connected with his mind where his consciousness was didn't respond to it as it would usually do.
Instead, they remained in a state of complete balance, not letting any external factors influence his actions.
'I can feel it now.....'
As he went back into meditating while taking much more precise breathing rhythms then before, he could finally feel the surrounding mana gushing into his nerves.
The mana flowed through his whole body and eliminated all the harmful and impure substances at every corner of his body.
Compared to before, Felix didn't feel anything disturbing in his mind at all, making him focus all his attention only on meditating.
Few minutes later, he could feel that the impurity in his body was about to released out of from the pores of his skin, 'It's coming out...', but that was when the pressure on him abruptly stopped.
'It stopped?'
A bit confused, he twitched his brows and slowly opened his eyes.
Around the same time, the other three also opened their eyes and looked confused as to why the pressure was stopped just when they had reached the climax.
Estrade saw their confused faces and coughed at Mr.Dealer, who nodded back at him and turned to the four with a strange face.
"You guys have now already reached the point where you can release all the impurity without anymore help, but we can't let you do that here....."
He eyed them seriously while bringing his hand over his nose and continued.
"So go to your homes and do it."
The four youngsters who had been totally focused on meditating were confused with what he was saying, but quickly they were brought back to their senses when they smelled a nasty odour coming off from them.
Their faces turned a bit pale as they quickly blocked their nose from smelling their own bodies.
Estrada could already be seen walking upstairs back to the second floor as he wasn't fond of such things.
Mr.Dealer gave them a quick nod while taking a few steps backward.
"Alright guys, you can go and rest for today, we'll meet again tomorrow."
He waved at them and chased behind Estrada without glancing back.
"This...."
Falcon was left speechless at their behaviour, but turning around he saw that starting of with Crystal, everyone had already ran out of the building back to their homes.

Felix was going back to the guild building, and throughtout the whole way he had to tightly hold his robe around his body and pinch his nose hard, preventing himself from breathing in.
'Shit! I smell worse than shit!', he cursed in his mind.
The smell was very suffocating making people run away from him as soon as they smelled it, giving him a clear path to run on.

'Ughh I need a bath!!!'
He felt that if he opened his nose, then he would surely faint.
But thankfully, his newly created skill helped him a lot in this situation, by keeping a balance in his thoughts and giving him a mental protection from unhealthy odours.
As for the people around him, they ran away the moment he came ten meters near them.
'I'm sorry everyone, there's nothing I can do....'
Travelling all the way from the underworld, the secret tavern, and to the surface, Felix ran through the alleyways of Edenmont and finally arrived at the guild building.
'Finally!!!'
He quickly activated the skill Silent Steps while entering the gates, and opened the main door of the building.
Not wanting to be careless, he also avtivated the skill Agility Burst and sped through the main hall the moment the doors opened.
There were a bunch of guild members sitting around at the lobby, and when they heard the door open, they turned around to look but there was nobody standing there.
"Huh, thats weird...."
"Yeah, why did the door suddenly open?"
As they discussed among themselves in confusion, suddenly a horrible stench hit their nostrils.
"Fuc*@ng He!!&!"
"Holy Sh!£!"
"Who farted!!"
"We're under attack*^!!"
Chaos spread throughout the lobby as the members quickly blocked off their nose and brought out their weapons looking around for the culprit.
Meanwhile Felix who had unleashed a fight between the guild members locked himself inside his room and jumped into the bathroom, throwing the dirty clothes in a corner.
His only thought at this moment was to take a long and satisfying bath, removing all the dirty smell on his body.

Edenmont Underworld, Mr.Dealers base.
Estrada walked out of the building and turned back to the man who was seeing him out.
"You've done well. Gathering those youngsters was a good idea, especially now that we need more people eventhough they're weak."
Mr.Dealer gave a polite smile and replied.
"It was nothing. Compared to who we are about to face in the near future, we've not even anywhere near close to fight them."
Estrada's face turned into a dark look as he sighed.
"Don't worry, the situation is not that bad. But if things comes to worse, then....."
He didn't continue but Mr.Dealer got what he was getting to, as his face took a drastic change.
"Hmm, there's a lot of work to do, I'll be going now then."
Estrada left the building and walked out before disappearing into nothing.
