Varian closed his eyes on top of a snow mountain.
He sealed off his powers abruptly and his body trembled at the bone-chilling coldness. The sealed power tried to soar back and protect him instinctively but he pushed it down.
With a calm mind that a normal man could never have in such an environment, he noted the sensation of his body.
The brushing of cold wind against his skin, the way his skin twitched and shook,
longing for a little warmth. The bits of ice forming on his skin and the cold air entering his lungs.
"Haaa~"
His perception of the outside world ceased, turning inward towards his own body–the flesh, blood, bones.
Then, it went deeper.
The wisps of aura flowed in every inch of his body. Unlike before, they now carried a hint of divinity in them, glowing faintly with a silvery light as they moved.
And it went deeper still.
To the divine paths outside the material existence.
