"Stay here my foot... like I'd listen to you?" Karin scoffed as she watched Kara's figure drift into the air.
She knew the sphinx hadn't truly trusted her to stay put—it was more that Kara believed a frail human girl wouldn't dare wander anywhere on her own.
But Karin's body was far from frail now. Raw energy spiraled violently within her veins, wild and untamed, forcing her body to adjust every second. The power was incredible—frightening even. It allowed her to grow stronger at a rate no ordinary person could ever hope to match. She had already left her peers in the dust, ascending faster than any of them could imagine.
And yet… Castan was right.
Her powers were too much for her own body. Her greatest strength was also her deepest flaw.
Karin could grow stronger during battle by absorbing her opponent's energy, fueling her own rise. The stronger the enemy, the more she could take in—and the faster she evolved. In theory, she could surpass almost anyone.
