Chapter 163 – Ultimate Skill
The pain lasted for an amount of time completely lost to Cassius's scorched and burning mind.
His entire body was emitting steam that rose skyward, the result of skin that had taken the deep red shade of steel sitting in a blacksmith's forge.
It was all crimson, looking as though it would explode at any moment. However, just as the pain finally granted him mercy by dissipating, Cassius's body began to cool as his First Skill — Bloodflame — completed its evolution.
He lay on the ground, hugging himself so tightly he had curled into a ball, shaking hard as the phantom pain of the process lingered inside his psyche.
Ananke watched the scene with concern in her eyes. The evolution of a Skill was naturally difficult and involved some pain…but not to this degree.
'It is because the eye forced the evolution.' She thought, knowing she was right.
She let out a quiet sigh and observed Cassius in silence, giving him the time to recover.
It did not take long.
