Link’s Moon Stone was the size of a fist. Round and highly translucent, it looked like a pearl. In the water, it also glowed with watery silvery moonlight.

Following the game’s method, Link held the Moon Stone in both palms and started adding red Dragon Power with his left hand.

Buzz. With a soft sound, the watery moonlight around the stone instantly strengthened. After a few seconds, colorless power surged out from the other side and returned to Link’s body through his right hand.

Link sensed the power surging back.

It was very pure and gentle like flowing water. If he sensed closely, its nature was basically the same as Dragon Power. It had all the attributes that Dragon Power had, like fast recovery, strengthening of physical power and endurance, and more. Link tried to manipulate it and found that it was obedient. It would flow wherever his thought went without any delay or inertia.

This feeling was great.

However, there was a shortcoming to this purification. Link had added 1000 Dragon Power points into the Moon Stone, but only 800 points of the colorless power came out. The purification process used up 200 points.

Link was a bit worried that his own power would be reduced by 20% too. However, the amazing feeling of control was too tempting. He decided to just purify everything.

Thus, Link began pouring red Dragon Power into the Moon Stone for the rest of the time, colorless Dragon Power returning to Link’s body. The seconds ticked by as the cycle repeated.

Gradually, the Dragon Power that flowed out of him grew fainter and fainter, becoming more transparent.

Link couldn’t feel anything strange. He just felt that his control was at an unprecedented height. When the power flowed into him, he could almost hear the soft scrape as it flowed through his body. It was also because of that fine scrape that he could almost “see” the fine structure of his body.

In reality, he wasn’t using his eyes but a very detailed sensory. Link could sense his body before, but it was never as clear and beautiful as today.

He “saw” every muscle, vein, and organ in him, as well as his beating heart, the white nerves, and even his brain… Wait, was that the Heart of the Dragon?

Link had modified the Heart of the Dragon before and had seen that it was a lump of dark red energy. Now, it had become a light red. It was fading even now.

He discovered he could clearly see the inner structure of the Heart of the Dragon. It was impossibly detailed. He looked closer, trying to understand the principles within, but it felt like his head would split open after a short while.

Operating his mind at this rate used up too much energy and all this energy came from his blood. Because his blood had to move at a much faster rate, many capillaries in his brain burst.

Link saw this process happen clearly.

I’m really bursting blood vessels. I guess I still can’t completely understand the Heart of the Dragon. A little disappointed, Link looked away.

The red haze around the Heart of the Dragon faded. Seeing this, Link realized, I already have the purest Dragon Power, but Dragon Power isn’t the purest power in the world. This red stuff is actually the impurities restricting my ability to improve.

Link also realized that under the effect of the pure power, his body was also changing. A bit of pain entered his brain, but it wasn’t unbearable. He overlooked it easily and continued purifying.

Slowly, the pain disappeared, replaced by an indescribable joy. Link fell asleep with this joy.

After a while, a familiar voice sounded in his ears. “Hey, wake up.”

It was Celine.

Link shot up and found himself in bed. He was still clutching the Moon Stone. “How long have I been sleeping?”

Worry was written in Celine’s features, but she was relieved now that Link was awake. “You almost died in your sleep,” she muttered. “It’s been five days.”

“Oh, that long?”

Link felt around his body. It felt empty. Bearing down, he could easily “see” inside him. His Heart of the Dragon was completely transparent now. A watery glow lit up from inside out. Like moonlight, it shone in every corner of his body, nurturing the body parts.

It was like there was a moon inside him.

He looked at the Moon Stone. It still looked the same—translucent like a moon. It glowed softly… No, it had changed. There were many fissures inside.

Shocked, Link studied it. Soon, its details popped up.

Link winced, feeling disappointed. This was a one-time thing. He’d planned on giving it to Celine and then Eliard and the rest. It seemed that it was only enough for Celine now.

Just as he was feeling sad, his vision flashed with a notification from the game system. Link glanced over at it.
