Chapter 354 Awakening

Just like after the First Night up within hih this neer came from inside his soul as opposed to so was very similar, onlyfro an ethereal, but alh his entire body, changing it, e feeling he got every timent, but so much more powerful

…A thousand times more powerful

And deeper, too

With a barely audible gasp, Sunny slowly sat down and crossed his legs, then closed his eyes, concentrating on the transfor was soon full of theoverwhel over his mind like a ave However, Sunny wanted to feel more, understand more He wanted to remember this moment in every detail

It was his triues that his body was undergoing to becoer, more perfect… was another, subtle, but equally incredible change

ReadNovelFull to his soul

Sunny had no words to describe it, but knew that he had never experienced anything as wonderful The transformation of his soul was not at all painful, like the creation of the second Shadow Core had been, and not nearly as torturous as the agony that consu a drop of divine blood had caused hih he was co complete, to what he had always been

Soon, the pulsating waves of heat retreated, replaced by a wave of soothing coldness The dull ache in his heart that had reotten Shore lessened a little His mind became calm and tranquil

Sunny felt like like a sword that had been te made of cold, pure, resilient steel

He exhaled slowly and opened his eyes

His body felt stronger, faster, and , sie was sufficiently pronounced, and he knew that it would only grow greater if he used one or both of the shadows to actually augment him

But it wasn't the main difference

Sunny knew that the actual quality that separated Awakened froht, but a new innate ability Just like Dreaained the ability to sense and interact with soul cores, the Awakened could do the sa were two different things

Before, he could vaguely feel his Shadow Core The feeling was elusive and ethereal, but unmistakable He felt its emptiness at the start of his journey, and felt it bri with power near the end

Now, that poasn't contained inside the Shadow Cores anyh his entire body It circulated slowly, co his bones and muscles with power

Sunny instinctually felt that, with some practice, he would be able to direct the flow of shadow essence to concentrate it in a certain area He could expend soive his arth for a short as with the power to jump a dozen h he had beco through walls and breaking delicate things by accident Instead, by wisely controlling his shadow essence, he would be able to gift hiht The rest of the time, he would enjoy a much smaller, but still considerable passive effect of his body being saturated with freely flowing essence

'More training…'

Sunny could now control the shadow essence by instinct, but if he wanted to truly master it and do it more efficiently, he would have to learn from experienced Awakened Some instructors at the Acade neakened just that, after all

And then there was a whole another layer of coy that he would have to understand and ht much like mundane humans, only with more power and tools But battles of the Awakened were much more tactical While essence always restored itself to the core's maximum capacity, it took time In the reality of a battle, it was a finite resource Because of it, one had to be smart and careful about how and when to use it

He would also have to absorb as ments as possible to increase the capacity of his cores Luckily, he now had two of thee over the rest of the Awakened

But this new a quality he had received was not the end of the Awakening The ain, filling hi Aspect Ability…]
