Chapter 212: Warning
"Now I have even more reason to kill every last one of you," Adyr muttered with clear irritation as he glanced at the approaching mutants, then confirmed the registration without hesitation.
The moment he did, 400 units of energy were ripped from his core. It wasn’t just a number dropping on a panel—he felt it physically. The energy he had just converted through his energy body from Twilight Land vanished in an instant, leaving behind a hollow sensation in his chest. It was like watching a long-term investment in state bonds collapse overnight.
Still, the cost came with a reward. 80 free stat points were added directly to his system, waiting to be distributed.
More importantly, this marked the hardest requirement for advancing to Rank 3 Practitioner. Based on the intel he had gathered from Liora and others, the criteria were clear: at least one registered Level 4 talent and a maximum energy capacity of 600. He had met both conditions.
The only thing left was acquiring a Rank 3 Spark. He had already chosen the one he wanted, but the price was steep—something that would require serious preparation.
Yet even that wasn’t the real reason he was holding off.
The Legacy Domain event was approaching fast, and participants were limited to Rank 2 Practitioners and below. If he evolved now, he would be disqualified. For Adyr, that event held far more value than a rushed advancement. So, he decided to postpone his evolution and focus entirely on strengthening his talents.
These thoughts passed in a matter of seconds before he shifted his full attention back to the battlefield.
The first goal—unlocking Observer Level 4—was complete. Now it was time to move on to the second.
He finally stopped evading attacks. Now, it was time to strike.
He glanced upward, toward the swarm of drones that had been buzzing above the battlefield for some time now. A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
Those weren’t surveillance drones—they were media drones, live-streaming his every move across the networks of all 12 Shelter Cities. Since the moment he entered the battlefield, millions had been watching.
