Chapter 52: The road ahead
Of course, there’s still those who choose to ascend with a mix of different levels of Soul Seeds, which can place them anywhere from 8-50 BF depending on the rank and number of Soul Seeds they owned.
With 35.2 BF, Beast Slayer was already on his way to reaching highest limit one could reach in the first layer of the Beast Domain — however, this was actually quite low!
Contrary to what people thought about him, his number of Radiant Soul Seeds didn’t even surpass 200 yet!
There might even be some stronger individual hunters, or members of his own Radiant Slayers, or the War Beasts, who were near this figure.
But what truly cemented him as the undisputed 2nd place in the War Beast Sanctuary was his Soul Talent.
His ability to achieve a 400% boost to his physical strength for a short period of time was extremely powerful, and was the reason he won most of his battles with Radiant Beasts.
Without it, he would have a much, much more difficult time fighting them!
That short boost of strength temporarily placed him above the strength of a newly ascended Evolver, who’d ascended with a Mutant Soul Star!
The process of ascending quadrupled one’s physical attributes, and so the moment a Mutant Altered steps into the second layer after ascending, they’d find they’d have a staggering 100 BF from the get go!
And yet, Beast Slayer, not even being 50% of his way to filling his Soul Star in the first layer with Radiant Soul seeds, could achieve 140+ BF with his temporary boost in strength!
In essence, his Soul Ability granted him a temporary ascension...
