Atticus stared at his newly improved stats with a wild grin. The highlight of this check was undoubtedly his elements.
The weeks spent in the elemental sanctum were most definitely worth it. He was so close to reaching level 4 in almost all his elements!
‘My normal stats just increased,’ Atticus thought.
Atticus had been focused on his elements these past few weeks; if it wasn’t for him crazily absorbing mana recently, his stats wouldn’t have changed that much. This was the stat he had at the bottleneck of the expert rank.
On another bright note, his ethereal cloak and elemental mimicry art had also ranked up. The former was a small surprise while the latter was expected. Everything about his elements had ranked up considerably.
Atticus noted all his changes and closed his status page. It was time for him to rank up!
Atticus sat down in his usual cross-legged position and instantly entered a state of absolute focus.
His body was brimming with energy because he had just eaten a truckload of food. However, Atticus’ eyes snapped open as he suddenly remembered something. He quickly stood up and undressed, leaving his body completely naked.
Atticus had just remembered the process of ranking up into the master rank, and he would rather not ruin his only clothes.
Afterwards, he sat down and focused once more. Releasing a deep exhale, Atticus began absorbing the mana in the atmosphere into his body, and at the same time, he released the restriction he placed on his mana core.
It took a few minutes, but soon enough, Atticus’ body started resonating with the mana, a gentle hum and vibration emanating from him. The energy within his mana core and his body synchronized, creating a harmonious flow.
However, he continued absorbing mana with fervor, showing no signs of stopping. Hours passed, and Atticus started feeling something change.
His mana core started to expand and evolve. Visible ripples of energy flowed across his skin, akin to waves in water.
An intense pain wracked his body in the next instant, followed by an awful smell that made Atticus want to puke.
Out of different orifices and his skin, black oily substance started streaming out.
This had been why Atticus wanted to take off his clothes. One of the benefits of advancing into master rank was that all the impurities within an individual’s body gets forcibly expelled, causing a brief moment of pain.
However, an intense relief followed after a few minutes, but a pool of the foul substance had already formed around Atticus.
Regardless, Atticus didn’t stop. He kept on absorbing mana into his core and body until he reached a climax after a few hours.
A catalytic burst of energy abruptly erupted from his body, followed by a blinding flash of light that surrounded Atticus and illuminated the entire cavern.
Atticus’ body temporarily became a conduit for pure mana, his body floating up in the air, and he started feeling a transformation take place.
It took hours, but eventually the light dimmed, and Atticus’ body returned to the ground.
Atticus breathed heavily, before immediately closing his nose and mouth. The black foul substance had formed a pool around him and the smell was beyond terrible.
Atticus took his hand off his nose and mouth in the next instant, filling his nostrils and mouth with the awful stench again.
He applied pressure to his legs, intending to dive into the water. However, he misjudged his strength and ended up shooting straight into the cavern wall with a brutal impact.
“Shit,”
Atticus brought himself out of the man-shaped hole that had formed on the wall.
“Have I gotten that much stronger?”
He resisted the urge to immediately check his status. First things first, he had to get this awful substance off his body!
Being more careful this time, Atticus dived into the water and had one of the most refreshing baths he had had in a long time.
Coming out of the water, Atticus used the ice element to freeze the pool of black substance on the platform and made it float up and stay on the ceiling. He could use fire to disintegrate it, but Atticus didn’t want to deal with the smell afterwards.
Atticus glanced at his body and a smile couldn’t help but appear on his face. He was still naked, but he currently didn’t care.
His skin had always been flawless, but it was as if it had gone up another notch after his rank-up. It was soft and insanely firm at the same time.
His muscles didn’t increase in bulk, however, they became more defined and dense. They were each brimming with intense power.
He could also feel that his perception had increased significantly. He could see even the faintest details without even trying. Details that the previous Atticus would have had to put in an effort to notice were all seen without him even trying.
Atticus punched the air casually a few times, each casual punch sending an intense air blast forward that landed on the cavern walls with force.
