By clenching his fists, Minos felt his control over space at a new level, being able to distort some of the space even though he was in the Spatial Kingdom.
The Spatial Kingdom was a place with highly stable space. So ordinary Spiritual Sages shouldn't even be able to disturb the stability of such a place.
Only Demigods would have such an ability!
But soon after advancing a stage, Minos felt a subtle spatial control even in this place, being able to distort the surroundings of his hands.
However, he was not as surprised as the people watching him. As someone who had actively stolen the energy and laws imbued in the giant bones in this place, he knew that his control over space would be higher than that of an ordinary person at level 80.
Thinking about how those remnants were so incredible, he couldn't help but look at the corpse of Fah'um of Dunov.
He saw this corpse that seemed to be being absorbed into the Spatial Kingdom, with various plant roots from that place connecting to it and thought. 'Level 100 was not the limit of these creatures... What level was this being at? Is the title Supreme Elder Over Heaven a stage of cultivation?'
But as he looked at that corpse, he felt an even greater connection to it and the bones in the surroundings.
Minos tried to use his innate ability and realized the differences between before and now.
After his breakthrough, he improved his ability to steal what was in those bones by more than 40%.
His connection to them had improved significantly!
The people in the surrounding area felt this, as they noticed their cultivation bases suddenly benefiting from Minos' actions.
After a second of testing this new feeling, Minos smiled and stopped what he was doing to check his techniques.
He had a new technique to learn, but since his old techniques had all advanced in phases and he was already feeling them even without activating them, he couldn't contain his curiosity and looked at himself.
Now because of his greater affinity and connection with his techniques, he didn't need to activate them to feel their new capabilities.
He only needed to think about the technique, and by emitting the spiritual fluctuations of it, not only he but everyone in his surroundings could perceive the basics of it.
Thus he proceeded to test the Devouring Art!
As he did so, a dark aura that seemed to swallow up any energy that came near it appeared in his surroundings, while a ring silhouette seemed to want to form.
But that was only the aura of the Devouring Art, not the activation of it!
'Its action space has doubled in size, and now I can reach those up to 800 meters away from me... Its conversion factor has also improved, and now I can use 60% of what it absorbs.'
"Perfect! I'll be able to use more of my enemies' energy and less of my own. That will give me more combat time against anyone!" He muttered, overjoyed at this improvement.
The secondary ability of this technique that worked passively on his body had also evolved. He had now gained an even greater mastery over it and felt that he could use its powers on other people.
'Uh?' Minos found this too magnificent to be true and could not contain himself. He immediately looked at Sarah and said. "Come here. I'll give you something."
Sarah and the rest of the people watching him didn't understand, but soon she approached her father, who was floating 2 meters off the ground while looking at his hands.
When he saw his daughter standing before him, Minos concentrated part of the devouring energy of his passive ability on the tip of his thumb, making it as dark as night.
Then he inscribed something on the forehead of this young redheaded woman with the dark part on his finger.
Sarah did nothing, feeling little more than a cold sensation on her forehead.
Soon after this, black inscriptions spread out from what Minos had done on her forehead, taking over every single part of her body.
A second later, while everyone was wondering what was happening, these inscriptions became invisible, as if they had never appeared on her skin.
Minos then said. "Gloria, attack our daughter."
"Uh? What's the meaning of that, father?" Sarah didn't like this, feeling her old man was playing games with her.
"Come on, Sarah, don't be a coward. Nothing much is going to happen. Let's test this out a little."
Gloria saw Minos wink at her and accepted. She then made a move equivalent to her daughter's level, which would cause a little pain but would not put her at risk.
When a small golden blade of energy broke toward Sarah's body, this young woman tried to defend herself, feeling bad for serving as a guinea pig for her father.
However, just when she thought she would feel pain, the inscriptions on her body reappeared, and she felt nothing.
Amid this, Minos felt the energy of that attack nourishing his daughter's body.
Realizing the usefulness of this breakthrough, he smiled and said. "All right, that's all, Sarah. You already realized what I gave you, right? This is a defense and a way to strengthen yourself during battles.
Now that I have reached my current level, I can place four inscriptions like that to help protect and strengthen people far away from me."
"Oh?" Minos' women heard that and felt how magnificent such a thing was.
With this, they would have his protection even when they were far away from each other!
While the people in the surrounding area were talking, Minos decided on who he should put these inscriptions. 'I will put this on Gloria and Ruth later since they will not accompany me for my upcoming trip. The other I will put on Kendrick.'
After thinking about it, he ignored the people talking about how unique this skill was and focused on his following technique which had evolved with his advancement.
As he thought about his Spatial Sword technique, Minos' surroundings froze with the aura of this restrictive and offensive technique, while a sharp sensation arose amidst the stillness of the surroundings.
'The range of the Spatial Sword is now 640 meters, and any being or object in that space will be under its restrictions.
My attacks with it have also become stronger, and I will now have an increase in attack strength of 50%, a 25% improvement compared to before!'
Before he could already make his blades travel through the gaps in space and thereby surprise his opponents. But now he could not only do this more easily, but he could also create spirit sword attacks hidden in the vacuum of space.
Through this, even without touching his sword, Minos could make several blade attacks emerge from the vacuum, traveling in directions nearly impossible to trace back to his opponents!
This would make predicting his sword attacks extremely complicated for people below level 90!
