Chapter 54: New Powers...

"HOLY SHIT!"

Erik's astonishment was unmistakable. "Conal had an A-ranked brain crystal power?! WHAT?! HOW?!"

This revelation stunned him for several reasons. The first being that it was baffling why Conal followed Logan when his own power outranked the latter.

"The system says the power grants the ability to shapeshift into 'Creatures'—that could mean humans, but even... Thaids."

Perhaps what pushed Conal to follow Logan stemmed from his insecurity, given by his modest amount of mana, not that much different from Erik's. While their mana levels weren't enough to grant high status, Conal's shapeshifting ability, even if temporary, provided a notable edge in most situations. It offered the potential for wings to fly, or gills for underwater breathing.
