As Alexander's group was finishing up the Vermillion Kobolds and the henchmen, Lucen's fight with Zehn was reaching its climax.
Unlike Gared, who had his body bursting after eating the irregular pill, Zehn seemed to be in a similar state to Lucen's RELEASE.
His body had bulged a little, veins could be seen all over, and Lucen could pretty much hear Zehn's heartbeat, which was like an engine.
Not only that, but Zehn's mana supply had increased, and his mana output became even more refined.
Lucen's eyes narrowed slightly as he observed the change. This was not like Gared's transformation, which had been violent, ugly, and unstable from the very start.
That one had felt like watching a body force itself apart just to imitate strength it had no right to possess.
Zehn was different. The power flowing through him was still unnatural, still clearly borrowed, but he was handling it with far more control. Not to mention, there was little to no trace of madness like with Gared.
