บท 1256: The Curtains Rise

"N-No, I wasn't trying to leak anything. I swea—arghhh!"

Varian indifferently stared at the man erased away and focused on his assimilator power.

As the man was devoured, his aura was also absorbed in. A typical Assimilator would take in the foreign aura before throwing it out.

Varian did something different.

His assimilator power continued to act, devouring the physical aspect of the man to improve his own strength.

But his spirit power also started working, breaking down the man's soul, expelling any parts with ego and using it to nourish his own soul.

This much was still understandable.

However, his sliver powers also pulsed through the man's aura and broke down his powers to the most fundamental form.

The man's accomplishments—his understanding in his Rank 2 Mystic path—were like an open book in front of Varian.

As a peak rank 4 Adept, he didn't gain anything remarkable from the comprehensions of a rank 2 Mystic.
