บท 159: Breakthrough (2)

"Almost there," Lucavion muttered.

After dealing with the mana for a long time, he had finally finished cracking his core and expanding the mana that was stored inside there.

–CRACK!

With the sound of the crack, the hard part reached its end.

"It is over."

He felt the immediate shift, the moment when everything clicked into place. His core had expanded, and the stars within him pulsed with renewed brilliance, filling the space with their energy. He remained still for a moment, suspended in that brief weightlessness, letting the feeling sink in.

'It's done. The breakthrough… finally.'

The pressure that had once been overwhelming was gone, replaced by a steady, powerful hum deep within his body. But it wasn't over yet—he still needed to stabilize the influx of energy to anchor his core in this new realm of power. Without stabilization, all of this would be for nothing.
