As Caleb swallowed the pill. He braced himself for the incoming murmurings that were about to assault him.
Then. Just like he expected. Changes began to take place in his vision. Red beca redder. Blue beca bluer. Green turned greener. It was a kaleidoscope of damned colors. It was as if soone had kicked towards a canvas. Stay updated through empire
However, this is just the beginning. Following that, he felt that the bones all over his body were ground to fine dust. The pill started the process of changes to the cellular level!
'Fucking pain!' Gritting his teeth, he tried to hold back the intense itchiness that began to spread throughout his entire body. Furthermore, what really horrified him was the changes in his skin. From pale, the color transitioned seamlessly to blue and red. He felt confused and was unsure if the pill had failed.
"Calm down... That's a normal change."
David's voice pulled back Caleb to reality.
He gradually cald down, and a determined light erged from his eyes.
Fortunately, it only took three minutes before the painful process began to gradually recede. He felt his entire skeleton suddenly twitch and the pain fully stopped.
Regardless, Caleb still feels uncomfortable due to the fiery, indescribable heat that erupted from his heart.
What the fuck are these side effects!? They are more severe than the last ti. Well, he knew that this was the case because it was more of a physical side effect.
'Goddamn it! Here it cos!'
An intense dizziness assaulted his mind. Hundreds... No, thousands of voices ca pouring down on his head. The intensity was like a dam being broken! Whispers, screaming, and constant buzzing repeatedly echoed directly to his brain.
However, instead of pain or anything of the like that he had experienced before. He felt an unprecedented coolness in his head that lessened the voices by at least 60%!
And gradually, the physical effect on his body completely disappeared. The murmurings eventually vanished.
A smile appeared on Caleb's face. It seems his high spiritual attributes had really helped him resist the barrage of voices this ti. He would be already thankful if he didn't directly turn mad. Who knew that his spiritual defense was already reaching such a point that even the advancent of Shadow Path which should have had ten or a hundred tis worse side effects than the other paths would be completely resisted that easily. Not to ntion, at such a fast speed!
Caleb carefully tried to feel the change. His physical body was stronger, and his senses were more acute. He thought that now, he could feel that he could bend tals without exerting much force and kill most Tier 9 Apokalips with just a finger!
As he flexed his fingers, he could sense an improvent in strength coursing through them. The muscles felt denser, and the bones seed fortified. It was as if his very essence had rged with the fabric of power that surged within him.
"tal..." he mumbled, his eyes narrowing in concentration. Caleb extended his hand towards a nearby tallic object, a chair sitting in the corner. As he gently pressed his fingers against it, he felt a peculiar resonance, a connection between his intent and the malleability of the tal. With minimal effort, the chair began to contort and bend under the pressure of his physical strength. He could estimate that physically, he was almost a hundred tis stronger!
A grin ford on Caleb's face as he marveled at the realization of his enhanced abilities. The very idea that he could reshape most solid matters around him with such ease was both exhilarating and daunting. He could envision a scenario where even the toughest mineral would crumble under the sheer force he now possessed. Of course, this is just an illusion brought by the rapid increase in strength. In reality, he could only bend silver tal. As for gold, that was still far away.
"And Apokalips..." Caleb whispered, his thoughts shifting to the formidable foes that had once posed a significant threat. Closing his eyes, he envisioned and perford a simulation facing a Tier 9 Apokalips, known for their resilience and strength. Due to fighting a lot of Tier 9 Apokalips, he could easily visualize their average strength in his mind. Caleb saw himself effortlessly overpowering such creatures, his finger piercing through their tough exterior like a hot knife through butter.
The prospect of such power both fascinated and unsettled him. He had ascended to new heights, and the capabilities that ca with it were a sure ans to increase survivability in this world!

'So the na of this Tier 8 of the Shadow Path is called ghost. Interesting...'
Then Caleb's attention was directed to the two new passive and active abilities. By their na, he could vaguely guess their effect.
Epheral Cloak (Passive): The user gains the ability to blend with shadows seamlessly, becoming nearly invisible to the naked eye. This passive skill allows the Ghost to blend effortlessly into the darkness, concealing their presence even further. It not only diminishes the user's sll, aura, and sounds, as in Ghost Walk but takes it a step further by providing an almost ethereal quality to their form, making them exceptionally elusive. The effect is heightened when the user remains motionless, further enhancing their ability to remain undetected within the shadows.
Shadow Veil (Active): When activated, this ability extends the Ghost's concealnt to nearby allies within a certain radius for a limited ti. The Ghost can temporarily shroud their comrades in the sa epheral cloak, making the entire group nearly invisible to enemies within the shadows. This active support skill synchronizes seamlessly with the Ghost's passive ability, Epheral Cloak, by not only concealing the user but also extending this concealnt to their allies. The duration and effectiveness of Shadow Veil may vary based on the user's mastery of their Tier 8 abilities, creating a tactical advantage for the entire team during covert operations or stealthy maneuvers.
Limitations: Can only use 3 mbers currently. Once perford an attack or moves out of the shadows, the effect of the ability would get deactivated. Can only be activated once the targeted allies are in the shadows.
I'll be damned!
