Right after I finished my level up to the Brigadier Stage, I slept. Even though the level up had energized me, it was not able to bone-deep exhaustion and lack of sleep; I had for nearly three days.
As my breakthrough finished, I planned to walk toward the trees of the Emerald Kiwis and pluck them, but just as this thought came to my mind, bone-deep exhaustion came over me, and I slept.
I slept under the intense Gravity and Energy Pressure, and to be honest, I did not feel anything throughout the night. It was just a few minutes ago when I was waking up when I felt crushing pressure came over me.
When I woke up, I did not walk toward the Emerald Kiwi tree to pluck the kiwis; instead, I walked toward the open space near the entrance of the cavern.
'I want to feel like a human again.' I said in my mind as I activated my abode and went inside. There I refreshed up, showered, and sat on the kitchen table in the unhurried pace as I before I finally came out and walked toward the Emerald Kiwi tree.
Yesterday, I had acted like an animal that is obsessed with training. My showering and eating normally is my way of expression that I am human. I may feel an animalistic compulsion to increase my strength but I am still human.
Soon, I reached the place when I was, this was my limit yesterday, but today, it is not. So, I unhesitatingly took a step forward, as I did that more Gravity and energy pressure hit me, but it was not able to stop me.
I took one step, then another and another, I continued to take steps until I was just two steps away from the Emerald Kiwi tree, from there I could easily use my hand to fetch the Emerald Kiwis.
But these two steps are going to be extremely hard, as the pressure where I am standing is so high that I am barely able to keep myself straight, and if I took another step, the pressure is going to increase again, but I have no choice but to take that step.
I have no time for training, so I have to bear the pressure that came at me and pluck the fruits; that is the only thing I could do.
STEP!
'F.U.C.K!' I took another step; the step sounded heavy due to the intense Gravity. As I stabilized on my spot, I couldn't help but curse inside my mind, I could have cursed loudly with the open mouth, but unfortunately, I don't think I could even open my mouth under such pressure.
I bore such pressure and started to take a deep breath, which felt like I was inhaling thick mercury, not air. It is extremely difficult to breathe, but I have to. If I did not, then I would suffocate and die.
I stayed on my spot for a few minutes before I finally built up enough courage to take that last step.
STEP!
Crack Crack…
I finally took that step, and the next moment, I felt as if the mountain was crushing me. The pressure is so great here that I feel my bones are getting crushed slowly, and it is taking me my all, just to breathe.
Seeing I did not have much time before I got crushed to death under such pressure, I started to Emerald Kiwis. Like Yellow Thorn Peaches last time, this time, too, I did not have any problem in plucking the fruits of the trees.
Pluck Pluck Pluck…
I plucked one kiwi after another and stored it in my storage, which fortunately is still working under such pressure. It took me whole, but I was able to pluck the whole ten Kiwis off the trees, and by that, I had barely held myself from crashing on the floor.
Every bone in my body had broken in some and some way, and if I stayed here one more minute, I would be crushed, so as soon as the last Emeral Kiwi went to my storage, I made a run back.
With every step, the pressure on me would lessen, and only when I reached near the exit/entry of the cavern, did I heaved a sigh of relief. The pressure under that last step was too great.
In just half a minute, I was seriously injured there, if I had stayed a minute more, I would have collapsed on the ground and would not have been able to rise again ever.
Gulp!
After calming down, I gulped down the potion to heal my injuries. With me drinking potions, all my injuries started to death at rapid. Skin sticking together, bones mending on their own, and soon within a minute, my body returned to normal.
Now that I finally have the Emerald Kiwis, I could finally make a potion out of them. I don't need to make a potion out of it, I could just eat it raw, and my strength will surely soar above Nine Star Golden Elite.
But with the potion, I will better be able to utilize the power of the Emerald Kiwi as for the impurities.
I don't have to worry about that. The main ingredient Emerald Kiwi itself did not have any impurities, as for whatever tiny amount of impurities I will get my current body could handle it.
If I were still Eight Star Golden Elite, I would have eaten the Emerald Kiwi raw, but with me becoming Nine Star Golden Elite, a tiny amount of space opened inside me for more impurities, so I will not have anything to worry about.
The Emerald Kiwi potion is quite simple, so in it, I will not have to worry about mistakes. As long as I did not make any major mistakes, I will be able to create the potion in two hours.
So, without wasting any time, I took all the alchemical instruments and ingredients before I started crafting the Potion.
The potion-making is a very delicate business, even if the potion is simple. One still has to be very careful as during such simple potion crafting, did one make the stupidest mistake.
I follow the one step after another perfectly before finally adding two Emeral Kiwis into the bubbling potion.
The Emerald Kiwis started to melt into the potion slowly, as they did, the color of the Violet potion began to change that of Emerald and an hour later when all both Emerald Kiwis Melted into the potion and the potion became completely emerald in color.
The potion looked like it was made of melted crystal, it looked so amazing that if I did not want to drink it, I would have packed in a glass bottle and kept it as a showpiece in my apartment.
Gulp Gulp Gulp…
I let it cool down before picking it up and walking toward the high-pressure area. I walked till I was only five steps away from the Emerald Tree.
I stopped there and gulped down the potion in a single try before I started to practice the Body Cleansing Exercise and the Secret method.
This time I do not want to call out Nero, and this potion is for me; I drank it in such high pressure because the suppressive energy had an affinity with here, here drinking practicing will not help me in completely digesting the potion but will also help suck more than regular suppressive energy into my body.
