"Saving me sooner, huh?" Kulas muttered before shaking his head. "Although it was quite painful and felt like an eternity at first, I quickly got used to it—the physical pain, that is. Due to the Great Mammoth Body Refinement technique you gave me, I was not only able to grow temper by physique to an extreme level, but it stopped being painful after a couple of months."
"As for the mental torture… that took far longer to overcome. It took me years to realize that all I had to do was stop believing in what I saw; once I did, it became much easier to endure. That said, I wasn't close to many people—if any at all—so they usually used you to torment me."
"If I have to be honest, I am sort of glad that it happened. After all, if not, I wouldn't be in my current position right now. Not only have I surpassed my entire family during their peak, but I also gained a real family who wouldn't betray me over some pressure."
Kulas spoke with barely a pause, hardly stopping to breathe.
