Chapter 578 Runic Stele

"H… Ho did you break into Solid Stage so quickly?"

When she saw Eren approaching her with a charave her a gentle hug before responding

"Well… it see the Red Lightning helpedrunic stele, I reaped far better gains than I thought I'd reap"

The butcher wasn't lying when he said he had progressed even further in the way of the elements than before This was courtesy of the runic stele lent to hierated its effects He ress he had made, most of which was due to his abilities

A runic stele was a metallic surface or a stone's face that was etched with runes made by at least a Grandmaster level ranker Such a stele could only be carved by a ranker of this caliber who had reached a certain point in their elemental path

Hence these runic steles were precious They could only be obtained fro broke Of course, the black market would also contain runic steles obtained by cultists during their explorations But most of the time, such steles were counterfeits

Then there were the runic steles, which were meant to haralthese steles was more expensive, but also more reliable

One also had to note that runic steles weren't co or rankers who had h contributions to their establishments were privy to use the element wasn't that common, the amount of army contribution points required to lend such a stele was no joke That's why Eren had to use Arjun's help to get his hands on this precious ranking resource

The runic stele for the red-lightning element that the butcher had received was a square-shapedevery time someone touched it

This runic stele was created by a ranker with an official title of Red Ripple In the stele's description that Eren had read before collecting it, Red Ripple was in the liquid Stage of the A-Rank at the ti it

The ranker was expected to isolate theenerated mana compatible with the stele and ranker's affinity Then they were supposed to drink supplementary potions, if any, to ease theirthe stele

The stele could be used by rankers i their element's mana into it The stele would then slowly take control over the ranker's five senses This would enable thehts of the ranker that had created the stele

Soes of the rankers who had uidance recorded by such entities, enabling the low-level rankers to benefit greatly from them Of course, such steles would cost even more

Eren had not used runic steles in his previous tiet his hands on such premium stuff He also had to thank his military status for this
