Chapter 184: The power of La Rocha!
Mana and electric currents whirred alive as they combined together to form a being. First, his face became complete, then his torso and the rest of his body.
Streams of data flowed like veins across the floor, flickering with symbols too complex for the human mind to comprehend. His form, forged from mana and machine, crackled with volatile energy as it took its final shape.
A cold heartbeat pulsed within him, and when he was complete, a ripple of energy spread across the entire metallic fortress.
"You have got my attention now, insect. Wait and see how I toy with you. You will regret forever the moment you decided to run back into my domain! Hmmm... where are you now?"
The man’s green eyes immediately landed on the central core. He saw Damon sitting cross-legged near the mana field, and a cold sneer appeared on his face.
"A mere insect daring to steal from me? Let’s see how far you can go. I will watch you die from regret and despair at the greatness you will never achieve in your entire lifetime. Behold human! The power of La Rocha!"
The next moment, the mana field intensity became ten times stronger, and all of a sudden, the comfortable spot Damon had picked to meditate on was no longer comfortable. The mana grid in front of him, previously calm like a deep ocean, now rippled violently, like something had agitated it from within.
But Damon didn’t flinch. "Finally showing your hand?" he muttered. His voice was calm, but every muscle in his body was tensed, ready. He withstood the violent mana storm as it lashed out against his body.
Damon focused and pulled in all the mana that he could. The thick and sturdy mana pathways in his body, forged by his body tempering ritual, were instantly filled to the brim like flood gates bursting open after a dam cracked.
