Chapter 9: Leaving The Great Helios Pass
[Name: Vandal Alexi Hyperion]
[Race: Human]
[Title: 13th prince of the Helios Empire, The 7 Demon Gods' Successor]
[Job: 7-Star Aura Knight, 3rd Circle Mage]
[Strength: 910]
[Dexterity: 940]
[ Stamina: 959]
[Magic Power: 495]
[Aura:1420]
'Indeed, even though I'm still a 7-Star Aura Knight, my stats are comparable to that of a 9-Star Aura Knight.' Mikhail inwardly thought as he was looking at the transparent blue screen in front of him.
Normally, A 7-Star Aura Knight usually had a 700 Aura unit within their Aura Nodes. However, he had 1420 which was twice that of a regular 7-Star Aura Knight which was insane.
Whether it was strength, stamina, and dexterity, they were all comparable to that of a 9-Star Aura Knight. Even his amount of mana was comparable to a 4th Circle Mage despite being a 3rd Circle Mage.
With this insane amount of Aura and Mana, Mikhail could exhaust an opponent of the same realm or even an 8-Star Aura Knight to death in a fight.
However, though Mikhail's Aura Nodes have suddenly become bigger and sturdier which allowed him to store more Aura within his body, it also had a major drawback.
Unlike a regular Aura Knight and a Mage, the amount of Aura and Mana he needed for each breakthrough was now double.
However, Mikhail wasn't worried about that. He knew that once he completely unsealed the Demon God Avaritia's Unique Skill Plunderer, he would be able to make up for that.
Once Mikhail was done checking out his new stats, he closed it and opened the Skill Windows.

'I need to hurry and completely unseal the Demon God Avaritia's Unique Skill if I want to increase my strength as soon as possible.'
"Is everything ok brother?" While Mikhail was lost in thought, an overbearing voice suddenly rang out in his ears which jolted him awake.
"I'm good." Mikhail coldly answered as he raised his head to look at the owner of that voice. It was a handsome young man dressed in luxurious noble clothes who looked similar to Mikhail.
[Name: Handal Alexi Hyperion][Rank: 5th Circle Mage]
Indeed, this young man was none other than Handal, the 12th Imperial Prince of the Helios Empire and also Mikhail's older brother in this world.
Currently, they were both sitting inside an incomparably luxurious carriage on the way to the Imperial Capital of the Helios Empire.
The carriage was roughly fifteen to sixteen meters long and its insides were extremely comfortable and spacious, befitting of royals.
The seats of the carriage were all covered with incomparably soft furs, making sitting on them extremely comfortable
The carriage was also guarded by dozens of Imperial Knights. Every single one of them was powerful and had a cold and awe-inspiring presence.
Each one of the Imperial Knights was also armed to the teeth and their armor was branded with a flaming golden sun which was the insignia of the Helios Empire.
Even though the carriage was currently passing through a large empty plain, the Imperial Knights looked alert. Their eyes were scanning from one side to the other. They were like leopards, ready to pounce and react to any danger.
"Brother, I was so surprised when I heard you were going to attend father's birthday party." Handal suddenly said as his cold gaze was fixated upon Mikhail who was looking at the beautiful scenery outside through the window of the carriage.
Indeed, ever since he was a kid, he always hated social gatherings and was a kind of a loner. It was also one of the main reasons that he ran to the Great Helios Pass three years ago after relinquishing his right to the throne.
Nonetheless, Handal was truly happy that he was coming with him to the Imperial Capital. When Mikhail was holed up in the Great Helios Pass, there's not much he could do due to the tight security of the Great Helios Pass. However, it was different now.
"It was Uncle Ivan's idea. I didn't have a say in it." Mikhail coldly uttered as his gaze was still fixated at the beautiful sceneries outside.
"Anyway, I'm glad that you're finally going to the capital after three years of absence. Mother will be very happy to see you."Handal added with a cunning expression on his face.
"Ohh yeah! Me too brother." Coldly answered Mikhail as he finally shifted his cold gaze towards Handal with a devilish smile on his face.
Looking at the devious and ominous expression on Mikhail's face, Handal suddenly felt his blood run cold. It was his first time seeing that kind of evil expression on Mikhail's face.
The way Mikhail was looking at him felt like a poisonous serpent stalking its prey in the darkness and it caused his hair to stand on end.
Finished saying that, Mikhail didn't pay any more attention to Handal anymore as he gently closed his eyes to rest inside the carriage.
It's already been three hours since they left the Great Helios Pass and it would take them another two hours before they arrived at the next city.
Mikhail already had enough of the beautiful sceneries outside. As such, he decided to do something more productive, like increasing his mana.
As for Handal, he wasn't worried about him making a move on him right now. The moment Mikhail closed his eyes, he suddenly fell into a semi-conscious state.
At the same time, the surrounding mana was suddenly rushing toward him like a magnet and was being crazily absorbed within his body.
[Mana Stat Has Permanently Increased By 0.1]
[Mana Stat Has Permanently Increased By 0.1]
[Mana Stat Has Permanently Increased By 0.1]
[Mana Stat Has Permanently Increased By 0.1]
[Mana Stat Has Permanently Increased By 0.1]
Seeing this scene, Handal was dumbfounded. He could feel the surrounding mana rushing towards Mikhail and was being crazily absorbed by him.
'How come he can absorb the surrounding mana so easily.' Handal inwardly thought with a darkened expression on his face.
'It seems like I'll have to speed up my plan before he became too much of a monster.'
