Chapter 134: Raise It!
Daniel let out a long, slow breath, a proud grin spreading across his face.
He recalled the exhausted but triumphant Nyx into his ring, promising her all the SS-Grade jerky she could eat.
He now knew her true limit, and the incredible potential that still lay dormant within her.
He then stepped forward into the empty white space, cracking his knuckles.
The A-Grade Kinetic Void Gauntlets on his hands hummed softly.
"Alright," he thought, a cold fire in his eyes. "My turn."
The silence in the plaza was absolute. The assembled aspirants and Academy staff had just witnessed a Level 20 familiar not only defeat the unbeatable Sango but undergo a draconic evolution while doing it.
The sheer impossibility of it all was still sinking in when Director Gareth Sterling, his face now a mask of obsessive fascination, roared a new command.
"Don’t stop! Raise it! Four times the strength! I want to see what the boy himself can do!"
The technicians, now looking like they were praying to whatever gods governed power grids, complied.
The test pod containing Daniel groaned audibly, the very metal of its reinforced hull seeming to protest the immense energy being channeled into it.
