Chapter 303: Tier IV At Last
Evolution completed without any problem as unimaginable power began flowing through his body. His muscles were screaming of power, and so was his core, now almost five times its original size.
Even without trying, he could feel mana dancing around him. Mana particles were getting sucked into his core even without any skill. Finding his core, the mana began to move toward a new organ.
Felling life returned to him...Dhruv opened his eyes slightly. Darkness remained in front of him as he found himself trapped inside of egg. A thought appeared as the information of the world began to pout in his brain.
The monster inside the egg was taken back as he found the extent of his mana sense far greater than before. Without his eyes, he could sense the entirety of the castle in a single go.
Suddenly, his attention was drawn to the skeleton kneeling in front of him. Paying attention to the skeleton he felt all sorts of information entering his mind.
Tilting his head Dhruv tried to understand it but was unable to do so... for the time being. Shaking his head, he finds the action of the skeleton peculiar.
’Why is he kneeling?’ thinking he tried to move but remembered the situation.
Not fond of being trapped inside of an egg Dhruv put one of his hands on the metallic shell, trying to tear through it. The egg didn’t give him enough time though as the moment it felt his touch, the egg turned to dust, evaporating into mana.
Standing on his feet, Dhruv looked around, viewing the world with a different vision. With a thought, the color of his pupils flickered as they returned to normal.
Illusive mana moved around as a layer of clothes appeared over Dhruv’s body, hiding it from the naked eye. Looking at the kneeling guardian in front of him, he whispered,
"Stand up..."
Ignoring the royal guard undead at the door, Dhruv moved out of the room and located a reflective surface. Reaching it, he began observing the changes that had happened to his body.
The very first thing he noticed was that despite using all his strength to increase the muscle density, his height had still increased. If he were to be generous, his height would still be two meters tall.
’Well, I wanted to be tall, but not this much,’ Dhruv thought, not really fond of getting so tall.
He couldn’t be displeased for longer as he found refined muscles all around his body. They were certainly a feast for the eyes.
A few more noticeable changes were that his hair had grown longer, now almost reaching his waist. He could feel a much stronger connection with the cosmic mark and mark of Asteri.
The changes in his exclusive ability Inventory were also apparent. To check something that wasn’t apparent Dhruv moved closer to the surface and his eyes.
’Woah! Why is it so colorful?’
The pupils, which had been black a few hours prior, were now a mixture of colors. Almost every color could be found in his eyes, making them look like a rainbow dancing within them.
While observing his eyes, Dhruv saw his reflection in the mirror. He was surprised to find that the clothes he had created with illusions were not visible to his eyes. They had disappeared under the power of his eyes.
’Huh! So is this the work of illusion resistance?’ he thought, looking at his body.
To test the limit of his resistance, he increased the potency of the illusion by continuing to add mana to the clothes. The luster of the clothes increased, but to his eyes, he was still naked.
After a while, Dhruv didn’t have any choice but to give up as he realized how much stronger his illusion resistance was now.
’From this, I can tell the illusion resistance is far more powerful than my manipulation... Well, that’s good isn’t it...’ he thought looking at his colourful eyes.
While he was playing with them, Dhruv noticed that the Ethereal Eyes had two modes. One is passive, while the other is active.
When in passive mode, the color of the eyes remained the same as it increased his resistance to illusions slightly. It also helped him enhance the casting of illusion spells while allowing observe the mana around him more precisely.
But the real prowess was exposed when he fed mana to his eyes.
When in active mode, The illusion resistance increased several folds, he could see the mana flowing very clearly and precisely, which in turn helped in spell casting of all affinities, not just illusion.
It didn’t end there... when in active mode, Dhruv began to get information about things he was looking at. He couldn’t understand what the information was yet, but he was sure it was nothing normal.
Satisfied with the changes Dhruv focused his attention slightly to his core. A smile appeared as he found the core was fully healed. He couldn’t find a single crack in there.
The evolution had healed everything perfectly.
Nodding his head Dhruv looked at Azarex and asked, "Where is the queen’s corpse."
"It’s in the throne room, Master," Aarex replied calmly.
"Okay... let’s go then.." Dhruv muttered.
’Let’s see what changes have happened there..’ Eager to check his improvements Dhruv opened his status.
