Chapter 767: Learning the Storm King’s Inheritance
Max’s fists clenched at his sides, veins pulsing as a fierce light ignited in his eyes. ’Looks like I’ll have to join many such battlefields between the human races and the Nulls.’
His lips curled into a smile sharp as a blade. ’It’s good that I joined the Hunter Association as a guest elder. With that status, I should be able to gain entry to even higher-level battlefields in the future.’
He felt a rush of satisfaction and vindication. The decision to accept President William’s offer now seemed not merely wise—but essential.
Yet, even as power coursed through him like a roaring river, a small flicker of unease sparked in the depths of his mind. ’Still...I feel like I’ve been leveling way faster these days.’ He couldn’t deny the slight chill creeping down his spine at the thought.
Whether it was simply paranoia or some unseen force nudging him forward, he couldn’t tell. But the truth was undeniable: his growth was beyond normal, even for a monstrous genius.
Though, as he felt the raw might surging within his veins, he couldn’t quite bring himself to complain. Instead, a quiet grin tugged at his lips. ’If fate wants me to rise quickly...then I’ll just keep climbing higher until no one can stand in my way.’
Following that decisive surge in strength, Max slowly opened his eyes, the golden glow receding as he exhaled a deep breath, feeling the dense new strength that now pulsed through every vein and muscle like molten metal.
But his focus wasn’t simply on consolidating the raw power of his new levels. He still had unfinished business—an inheritance he’d risked much to secure.
With the hum of residual energy swirling around him, he reached into his storage space and withdrew a handful of objects that glimmered faintly under the chamber’s lantern light: the Lightning Essence Stones.
