'I finally broke through…'
A smile appeared on Atticus's face. Most of his stats had been stuck at the 999 mark for what felt like ages. But after his rank-up, he was finally able to break through those limits.
'You sound happy,' Ozeroth commented.
'Of course I'm happy. Just take a look at those numbers,' Atticus replied.
'Hmph. They look average to me. Compared to me at my peak, they're nothing,' Ozeroth retorted smugly.
Atticus rolled his eyes. 'Well, you had centuries to reach that level.'
'Stop talking about my age! You—'
With a sigh, Atticus tuned Ozeroth out, focusing back on his stats.
His rank had reached the grandmaster- level, his stats had broken through their former cap, and many of his arts had advanced in mastery.
Atticus loved progress. If he hadn't fought Elderish, even he wasn't sure when he would've dared to challenge the fourth art. Yet now, he'd faced it and survived.
For now, he was content.
His expression darkened. 'Now I just have to deal with this,' he thought, his mind replaying the image of the Vampyros paragon and Cadence alongside the warriors of Fort Echohelm struggling against them.
'I really should've dealt with that spy when you told me to,' he admitted.
'I told you! But you wouldn't listen,' Ozeroth replied, his voice triumphant.
'Yeah, yeah. I've learned my lesson,' Atticus muttered.
There were countless reasons why Cadence might be in the Vampyros side of the buffer zone, but Atticus couldn't help but suspect Vyn, the Vampyros spy posing as a Resonara.
The reason Atticus hadn't dealt with Vyn earlier was simple: he hadn't seen any real benefit in doing so. Sure, Vyn was a spy feeding information to the Vampyros, but truthfully, how was that Atticus's concern?
If it had been the Ravenstein Fort, Atticus would have acted immediately. But he hadn't yet decided if he cared enough to help the entire human domain.
The truth was, he didn't. At least not yet. Fort Echohelm wasn't the only place the Vampyros had encroached upon. Taking out Vyn would've been like removing one ant from an entire swarm.
But now, Vyn was proving to be a pain.
Atticus exhaled deeply and turned his focus to the core floating in front of him. There was only one solution to his current problem: absolute power.
The core glowed brightly, its brilliance so intense that Atticus was certain he would've been blinded by it if not for his recent advancement.
'Now, how do I go about this?' he wondered.
'Use my power,' Ozeroth suggested.
Atticus followed the advice, his gaze turning a sharp, intense purple as he entered a state of utter focus.
Elderish, standing off to the side, watched silently.
Earlier, when Atticus had examined the core without Ozeroth's power, it had appeared as a knotted thread, a complex weave of blue lines so intricate that its very existence seemed impossible to comprehend.
But now, with Ozeroth's omincognition, the knot began to unravel, little by little, until Atticus could see it for what it truly was: a mana signature.
It was unlike anything Atticus had encountered before. Primal, ancient, and yet incomplete, like a fragment of a larger, more elaborate puzzle.
Atticus didn't hesitate. He got to work immediately. Luckily, as primal as the signature felt, once he unraveled the outer layers, its core was surprisingly simple.
He had no issues replicating it.
As he did, the air around him shifted. The world seemed to hold its breath as mana began converging toward him in waves, coalescing in front of his lower stomach until a radiant core formed, a blinding orb of light.
'It's reacting,'
Atticus's gaze sharpened. He could feel his original mana core vibrating inside him, as though it were trying to rise to the surface.
His focus intensified, holding his core in place. The new mana core trembled violently before shooting into his stomach, fusing with the mana core already within him.
A surge of force roared through Atticus's body. His figure convulsed, trembling as he struggled to contain it. Thick, throbbing veins bulged across his skin, his teeth clenched as he endured the excruciating transformation.
The force raging within him felt like molten magma coursing through his veins, reshaping his body from the inside out.
Gradually, a faint blue glow began radiating from his body. Its intensity grew with each passing second until his entire figure was engulfed in a blinding blue light.
The pain built to a crescendo, unbearable. Atticus threw his head back and screamed, his voice reverberating across the entire space.
In the next instant, his eyes snapped open, glowing with an intense blue light. The radiance of his body illuminated the entire space, bathing it in a brilliant blue glow.
Elderish's gaze flashed, and a wide smile spread across his face, his crimson eyes glinting with glee.
'It's possible,'
