Chapter 1470 Memories
Quite a bit of time passed before the metallic sphere started to give him visuals in his mind, but when it finally did, Emery found himself to be quickly overwhelmed.
Pieces of memory after memory rushed at him in droves, filling the blank he had in his head. The recent ones were easier to retrieve than the older ones, but their sheer number still weighed a bit on his mind.
First, Emery remembered the white-haired girl called Silva. The days they had spent on the island together and the months she took care of him.
After that, it took a while to go through the memories of being in the dark, where the only connection he had with reality was his hearing sense as people came and went talking about his condition.
Emery's body began to tremble when the memory of multiple fights on a dark elven planet replayed back in his mind. The sights, sensations, and feelings he experienced back then came flooding back to him.
The memory of braving numerous dangers as he rescued people who seemed important to him, especially a black-haired girl. He knew she was someone significant to him, but he couldn't get the name no matter how hard he tried.
Instead, his mind was constantly plagued by great hatred and deep sorrow for the death of his master, which subsequently led him to despise two particular figures: a woman called Zenonia and a man called Lucius.
Even though one of them had died, Emery still hated her so much he wished he could kill her again dozens of times. As for the other one… he could only hope the man was still alive, as the blood within him began to roil at the thought of his name.
"He… is supposed to be my protector, my patriarch. How… how could he use me… and kill my master."
The indescribable feeling of intense despair, coupled with the inexplicable hatred for that man, seemed to become the catalyst that Emery needed to finally make a breakthrough.
[Your bloodline went through changes]
[Bloodline limit breakthrough]
Once again, Emery was greeted with a vision of two familiar wolves. This time, however, he wasn't startled nor afraid. On the contrary, as he stared at the two mesmerizing yet menacing creatures, they approached him with obvious respect, as if bowing to their master.
[Battle power increase exponentially]
[Battle power has increased by 20 points]
[Calculating ancestor blood essence percentage…]
[Analyzing genes]
[31% Twilight Fey Wolf essence found]
[Fey Wolf Bloodline evolved to rank 6]
[Rank 6 - Fey Warlock]
When Emery opened his eyes again, a sense of calm settled over him, as if a missing piece had fallen in place. The entire process had taken five days and all the [Fey Serum] that was given to him.
As his body started to cool down from the changes taking place, Emery turned his gaze to the bracelet on his wrist and checked his updated status. His eyes widened slightly when he saw the result the breakthrough brought.
[Emery]

[Fey wolf gene essence - 31%]
Apart from going through an unexpected breakthrough, Emery had managed to regain most of his memories from the time he was on the elven planet. For that reason, he was now able to make a proper comparison between his past and present self, but the conclusion was not one he liked.
"I was much stronger than this…" He muttered under his breath.
Before his death, Emery remembered his battle power had reached 350 points. Not only that, he had also attained the magus' famed [Immortal Body] which gave him a much better regeneration ability for combat.
Unfortunately, he now seemed to have lost the innate ability, which meant there was still something needed to be done for him.
The other difference he found between his past and current self was the percentage of his gene essence, where the latter had by that time reached the 50% mark, just a step to break into rank 7. Though, he did remember he had failed the breakthrough, to which he assumed he had gone berserk and died from the aftermath.
Finally, the one thing that annoyed him the most was the existence of his second core ― or rather its absence, which was really the biggest reason for his strength being weaker compared to his past self.
"Does this mean I won't be able to cast dark magic anymore?"
If that was the case, Emery's situation could only be described as disastrous. After all, that basically meant he would no longer be able to use his strongest gravity spells or the space magic he relied on the most, one of which was the storage spell he always used [Spatial Space].
At that thought, Emery's face contorted in complete horror. All his items and belongings…
"This cannot be!"
Emery let out a deep sigh, venting out his frustration before he was compelled to destroy anything. Now that he knew what he had lost, he felt more irritated than ever.
He should definitely ask someone about this matter. He hoped that there would be… maybe some trace of it left in his soul or something that perhaps could be used to retrieve his possessions… maybe.
Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and calmed his raging emotions, telling himself he had to do things one at a time, step by step, lest anything else went wrong.
That said, the first thing he decided he should do was recover his ability to cast spells. After all, if he couldn't even cast a spell with the core he now had, he really shouldn't bother thinking about the one he didn't have.
Taking another deep breath, Emery quickly returned to the lotus position and tried to probe his magus core.
He noticed there was much lower percentage in the Law of Light compared to the stats before he died, but other than that he should still be able to cast nature spells with the comprehension of law he had.
Diving into his mind, he went back and forth through the memory labyrinth just so he could remember what kind of spells he had. The result, two days passed by and it was a complete failure.
By this time, the 7 days were up and Annara came to pick him up for the task he promised to the Queen. When he finally saw the red-haired girl again, she simply nodded before motioning for him to follow her.
"Let's go."
