1796 How To Reclaim Control?

Most of the tenants had their expressions turned for the worse at the realization that Felix's proud persona was going to ruin his chances to recruit Eris.

This was also one of the reasons Felix was hesitant at the start to enter the true embodiment state, knowing that whichever state he entered, its extremities might make the situation worse.

All the tenants turned to Lady Sphinx and gave her head nods with solemn expressions. Understanding what they wanted, Lady Sphinx appeared next to Felix's mediating wisp in the plaza. Then, she woke him up with a single message.

'It's time.'

Felix's eyes snapped wide open the moment he heard her voice. With a serious expression, he lifted his head and gazed at what was happening outside.

When Felix's pride persona caught his gaze, he gave one last warning to Eris, "I have to deal with a lingering pest. When I am finished with him, I hope you will have made the right choice."

Eris remained silent, knowing that the moment of truth was here. If Felix could reclaim control from his overbearing pride persona, then, she would have no more misgivings.

If he failed, well, she would be left with no choice but to leave this place. Even while chained up, she still had a way to escape unharmed. This was the reason she never thoroughly feared either Felix or his pride persona.

'Can he do it though?' Eris thought to herself with a deep frown, 'I understand he has chosen pride embodiment due to its overwhelming authority, but it is also one of the hardest personas to deal with.'

'How will he regain control from someone with the most overbearing superiority complex in the universe?'

While it seemed almost impossible, Felix wouldn't have chosen the pride sin if he hadn't already prepared a great countermeasure to regain control.

The moment Felix's pride persona manifested in the consciousness space, he found only Felix standing in front of him.

The rest of the tenants were told to not even use their senses to pry on them, in hopes of not agitating him and getting themselves expelled.
