Chapter 41: Return
The Crimson Abyssal Drake hovered above, its serpentine pupils contracting sharply as it sensed a peculiar shift in the mana surrounding him. The pure mana circling through nature was unknowingly being absorbed into a certain someone's body, fueling his awakening.
The Drake locked its gaze on Cassian's body, its instinct screaming danger as it sensed the ethereal energy nourishing the body to perfection. It didn't hesitate any longer and unveiled its full-blown aura, the aura of a titan, a monster of its own kind.
With a deafening roar, it spread its wings and lunged forward, pacing toward Cassian with breathtaking speed. The Drake's abyssal black claws glowed menacingly with an ominous light like an executioner's blade, craving for blood.
Yet Cassian remained still, utterly detached from the chaos around him. His mind drifted into the vast expanse of enlightenment, where the boundaries of self and soul blurred into the infinite.
