Arias’ thirst for power was something that he had more than anyone else. His desire to surpass all mages and stand at the pinnacle drove him to become stronger. But sometimes, there was just a blurred line between Arias’ thirst for power and recklessness. And today, it seemed like that blurred line was about to vanish altogether. Arias was attempting something that no other mage had ever done before. He started by absorbing thirty-two mid-level beastcores until his power finally reached the third level of the acolyte rank. But that was not enough for the power-hungry young man. He switched to absorbing high-level beastcores. But after absorbing only twelve of them, his power increased so much that it entered the fourth level of the acolyte rank. Arias’ face was drenched with sweat. With his current power, he should be able to take on a lower-level knight mage now.
