When Nial finally regained his senses, and the ability to move his body, he felt refreshed.
A black reeking mass trickled down from his body. It were the impurities expelled by his body, that allowed him to reach a higher potential.
However, Nial was not even able to sll the reeking impurities that covered the ground all around him. His focus was on scanning the changes occurring within his body.
'It's tightly revolving around the Mana core, great! Nothing went wrong!' Nial thought as he perceived the primary Ancient Origin ring, which had cald down after absorbing enough mana.
He finally reached the Low Prym rank, which was also labeled as the 1st Mirae rank by many other races.
Adding the fact that his primary Origin ring was an Ancient Origin ring, while the following would be the sa, the na of Nial's true rank would be 1st Ancient Mirae rank!
The quality of the primary Origin ring would be the deciding factor in labeling soone to be at the 'Basic, Interdiate, Advanced, or Superior' Mirae rank!
This was extrely important to consider. After all, the quality of one's Origin ring determined how strong one was, and how much one improved upon creating a new Origin ring.
In Nial's case, everything about him had advanced drastically. His senses were much sharper now, and he could tell that his senses had improved by several tis. This included his control over mana as well.
Nial could tell that even his mana veins had grown stronger, which was great. Nonetheless, that was just the tip of the iceberg.
His abilities beca much stronger, and his physical strength improved as well. Even his Heart seed stronger and his mana core had enlarged a bit. And this was not even supposed to happen under normal circumstances.
After the Origin rank, his mana core shouldn't enlarge anymore. Yet, by advancing through the creation of an Ancient Origin ring, Nial's mana core seed to have grown.
Even if it was not the Ancient Origin ring's direct influence, all the changes in his body were more or less caused after the Ancient Origin ring's creation!
After all, it looked like the Ankh had regained so of its power, which seed to have strengthened the Odyssey seed a lot!
In fact, the Odyssey seed had grown quite a bit. This was sothing Nial had expected to happen, but he was astonished, nonetheless.
There was a difference between predicting sothing and it actually happening, after all.
"Everything is growing/improving/advancing in proportion to my growth..." Nial quickly understood upon using the black miasma of his Curse [Hodur's Heir] and the dark energy of his Odyssey seed.
anwhile, his [Mana Sense] had improved drastically as well. Everything around him beca much clearer. Pure mana filled the air of the Forest of Life once again, and Nial felt that he was able to visualize everything he wanted to as long as he used a bit of his Mana to support his Innate ability [Mana Sense]!
"I need another ability that can connect to the Odyssey seed...or maybe even the Ankh. That way, they'll keep growing stronger with . Or I can choose an ability like [Outburst] of Bella...this is a hard choice to make..."
Nial was feeling flustered due to the situation he was in.
While he tried to figure out all the changes in his body, and how much every single trait of his body had improved, everyone stared in Nial's direction.
He was still standing in the exact sa position as before. However, right now, he was standing naked as his clothes were now reduced to threads and the Elves were staring at him in fascination.
"Looks like humans have one thing about their body that is better than ours..." One stupid Elf said without realizing that he had voiced out many female Elves' thoughts.
He received nurous side glances that were filled with anger, and the desire to beat up the stupid Elf. However, nobody dared to say anything to him in response.
After all, Nial's little monster was certainly superior to that of most elves.
'He is just a special human. Not all of them are like this...I think...and hope...please don't let all of them be like this.' That was the thought of a few Elves, who didn't want the few female Elves to go on a journey through the human shelters to have so fun, for once in a lifeti.
"Ya, you idiot! Do you think this is an exhibition where you show off your body?! Put on so clothes!" Miranda's voice bood through the entire center of the Forest of Life.
However, just when she wanted to throw a cloak at Nial, another one could be seen flying down from above Nial.
It was the Tier-2 mantle, Nial had gotten his hands on within the Ancient ruin's palace.
The mantle quickly moved to its rightful place, and draped itself over him, covering the majority of Nial's body. However, his little monster could still be seen every now and then.
'Is he an idiot?' Miranda wondered for the first ti when looking at Nial. But upon looking straight at his face, she realized that her disciple had not yet fully regained his senses.
Nial's gaze had turned to the green portal that was deactivated and had turned extrely dim. The portal that was supposed to be a mass of energy, and manifested runes turned out to be nothing but a tal ring just now.
However, this tal ring was the manifested Divinity fragnt of the Empress, which Nial seed to realize at this mont.
He didn't even notice that Miranda had thrown a pant at him and that he had subconsciously put them on. His eyes were fixated on the portal as fragnts of mories flooded his mind.
Nial was already familiar with Damian's mories, but this ti it was a little bit weird. He furrowed his brows upon receiving the fragnts of mories.
Nial digested them in an instant but sothing was wrong.
'They don't belong to Damian!' He thought, feeling positive about his assumption.
This was weird because nobody else ought to be able to transfer their mories to him. At least, not without him realizing it.
Nonetheless, Nial could only avert his focus for the ti being as he thrust his feet into the ground to catapult himself toward the portal.
With two leaps he appeared in front of the portal that was more than 100 ters away from him before Nial squatted down to touch the tal portion of the portal.
A green spark appeared the mont the tip of Nial's fingers neared it and was about to touch the portal.
"Is that really...?" Nial mumbled before he noticed a few faint gusts of wind appearing next to him.
Protheus Elves had erged around him, but Nial did not pay any attention to them.
'Did he just disappear in front of my eyes?!' Mathias stared in shock.
He might not have focused on his friend and his movents because he was trying to hide his surprise about the fact that Nial's little monster was a lot bigger than the average of what humans usually had.
In Mathias' opinion hiding the truth was of utmost importance.
After all, mankind's pride was on the line, though he wanted to feel better about an advantage humans had over Elves, even if it might not be the entire truth!
Nevertheless, for Mathias to be unable to trace Nial's movents, one could easily tell that he had beco much stronger than before.
If he was already as strong as a 1st Interdiate Mirage rank before, his current strength might even be higher than a 2nd Superior Mirae rank!
And Originals with Superior Origin rings were usually stronger than other Originals by a grade or two!
To everyone present, it was obvious that Nial's strength was extrely high.
However, the reason for the Elves to move next to Nial the instant he erged in front of the green portal was Nial's rather odd behavior.
Even the Elves, who had learned about body language and various other ans to determine the next actions of their opponents, weren't able to tell what Nial was about to do next.
His motives were unpredictable, even more so after he advanced to the Mirae rank!
"Why did soone create a portal with a fragnt of their Divinity? The creator of this portal will never be able to revert the manifested Divinity fragnt to what it had been originally..." Nial asked out loud all of a sudden, not intending to lower his volu.
While most of the younger Elves were confused and unsure about what Nial was speaking, many of the older Elves flinched the mont they heard him starting to speak about the real identity of the portal.
However, even before they could say anything, Nial shook his head.
"Well, whatever, I am not here to judge what others do with their Divinity. But...Silvian will definitely try to get his hands on this. Now it makes much more sense for him to have left all of a sudden!" He added without averting his attention from the portal.
The fragnts of the mories that flashed through his head without warning hinted to Nial that the portal was a manifested Divinity fragnt.
The mories of the unknown existence revealed to him that there were nurous types of Divinities that could take various forms. They could be corporeal, parts of bodies, of elental nature, alive, undead, and much more.
This was already interesting, but even more important was the fact that the stranger's mories were helpful to identify the manifested Divinity fragnt in front of him.
'Silvian definitely wants this!' Nial thought, certain that he was true.
"You know who Silvian truly is?" The voice of the Old Elf Crevian appeared next to him. He began to doubt Nial's identity once again.
anwhile, Valvian had approached Nial as well. He noticed that sothing about the young Original had changed. The words he said were also quite alarming, and whether it was a coincidence or not, Nial's conclusion about Silvian's action was the sa as Master Crevian had already predicted.
But even then, Valvian couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure that he will attack us?"
"Let's just say that I know Silvian and the Dryx worked together. I felt that sothing was foul when the Sacred Knights appeared all of a sudden. They seed to have planned their entry and waited for the mont mankind faced extinction due to the sudden appearance of portals where thousands of Dryx erged.
I don't know if you've already heard about that incident but the portals were created from purple crystals that were nurtured out of the soul of their host. They had erged in the middle of our shelters, and the training camps of our young trainees. Utter chaos and destruction followed later, just for Silvian and his people to rescue us.
That was his debut, the first ti he appeared in front of mankind, making a spectacular entry by creating a big show." Nial revealed a few pieces of information as he answered Crevian's question to a certain extent.
anwhile, Valvian's question could be answered quite simply,
"There shouldn't be many Dryx at the Protheus rank, but if Silvian is greedy enough he will make them eat each other to create a powerful force. So...yes, I think he will attack. The Divinity fragnt is way too valuable to be ignored by anyone who knows about its importance."
Valvian squinted his eyes at Nial's last comnt and he felt like asking sothing he had been increasingly curious about for a short while.
"Just who are you?!"
