While Alice and the others were slowly closing in on Esna, Keira hovered above the clouds while a flaming aura flickered around her body.
During this entire time, she wasn't just watching. No, she has been accumulating as much power as her body could contain.
If she was a normal human, she would've long reached her limit. But as a hybrid, the benefits of being a beast allowed her to accumulate far more energy than what should be possible.
In fact, it is because she's a hybrid that she could get the benefits of both sides. The control and utilisation of Abyssal Energy of a human and the capacity and adaptability of a beast.
A constant tether to the Abyss that funnelled power directly into her body.
Breathing in the air around her, Keira could feel the pulse of energy running through her body.
After all this time of accumulating energy, her appearance had changed somewhat.
