As I ran, I activated my talent. The Generator Core stirred to life, absorbing energy from the surroundings.
I pushed 10 units into Strength, making room for more Essence. I wasn't focusing on condensing or creating Essence right now. That wasn't the goal. What I wanted was fights.
Buildings lay in ruins around me, their skeletal remains littering the landscape. I barreled through the wreckage, leaping over collapsed walls and shattered stone, when a sharp shriek cut through the air.
I skidded to a stop and turned toward the sound.
My staff rested in my right hand as I sprinted in its direction.
A tilted building stood in my way, its foundation cracked and broken. Without slowing down, I jumped, my boots slamming against the slanted surface. Two quick leaps, and I was on the roof.
I scanned the area.
"There."
[Level 32]
I grinned.
"Found you."
Bending my knees, I activated [Seismic Burst].
