Chapter 680: One hundred thousand Voroe
Vlad was thrilled by the sheer magnitude of his recent improvements.
Not only had his energy pool finally advanced to Level 20, a major threshold that granted him heightened recovery and casting stability, but his body had also ascended to Level 22, placing him firmly at the peak of the Sage Tier.
Just one more breakthrough—Level 23—and his physical form would step into the Legendary Tier, granting him an immense boost in raw might, resilience, and body control that would greatly improve his survival abilities.
That alone was worth celebrating.
But what truly made his blood burn with excitement was the enhancement of his Depravita Aura.
Thanks to the consistent and methodical strengthening of his Depravita Seed using Jormungandr’s potion, he had successfully advanced from three waves to five full waves.

"It won’t be long now," Vlad whispered, eyes glowing like crimson suns. "Soon, I’ll have the strength I need... to ascend."
His heart thundered with purpose. Becoming a True Depravita was no longer just a distant dream—it was inevitable. With each day, each battle, each potion, he drew closer. But even in his exhilaration, Vlad kept a tight rein on his emotions. The path was not yet complete, and complacency would be a fatal mistake.
He had just turned to return to his work when suddenly—
A sharp alarm screamed across the stronghold.
