After another week of the same routine, Theo reached the three-hour mark.
He could barely handle the immense pressure of maintaining so many connected minds at the same time.
With constant use and a clear goal to fulfil in his mind, he only later realized that he had already reached level 8 with the Hive Link 1 ability.
At one point, he stayed within Hive Link for so long that it felt like days had passed, only for him to realize that it had been just four hours.
Things were progressing well for him, but unfortunately, just when he was so close to reaching the five-hour mark…
He collapsed.
Theo had to rest for several days in order to recover. At times, his mind would drift away completely, leaving the people around calling out to him in fear, unsure if he was still with them or not.
It got to the point where even the baron had to order him not to use the ability anymore.
