Chapter 144 King Vampiric Willow! (1/2)
Alec realized something.
When he killed monsters, compared to when he had so painstakingly practiced and steadily built up his magic, a small, miniscule part of the monster's latent magic flowed into his body instead.
All of a sudden, something seemed to occur to him when he noticed this happening.
There were four Societypes that were known to society.
Every, Bright, Cher and Sin.
The defining characteristics of each Societype were quite distinct, yet the information that was available about Sins were scarce and limited.
Every, which made up a whopping ninety percent of the population, were what was considered as the 'normals' of society. There were a range of people within this Societype. They occupied the entire range from unskilled to skilled, pertaining to their large numbers.
Of the other ten percent of the population, the other three Societypes were divided relatively equally.
The Cher Societype, who shared the Every's range of skilled and unskilled people in battle.
If the Chers and the Everys were considered the general populace, then the Brights and Sins were those that were considered to dominate and excel in their chosen fields.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Brights and Sins both, who occupied the upper-middle and higher realm of the skill range.
Even if Alec looked at it objectively, there wasn't a Bright or Sin that existed that was completely useless during battle, regardless of their Magitype.
Brights grew quicker because they understood the basis of their magic comparatively easier, yet why was it that the Sins continued to excel in battle even when they didn't share that characteristic? Why did they continue to be ostracized from society?
Alec felt like he'd discovered why.
Sins… Sins grew from each battle that they experienced.
The little wisps of magic that Alec was absorbing now was boosting the growth of his magic rank, essentially taking from the beasts and making it their own.
Since the magic was filled with battle intent and killing intent when it entered their bodies, it caused most of the Sins to lose their head in the middle of battle, becoming something similar to killing machines when they couldn't control their urges.
Now, it was all starting to make sense to him!
Sins, unlike the Brights who saw fast growth in comprehension, grew from experiencing an enemy's strength themselves and taking it for their own usage. They devoured their enemy's strength, using it to feed themselves and accelerate their growth.
Alec carefully prodded the new magic that was melding into his bones and marrows, feeling the fighting intent that dwelled and was emitted from it.
Alec didn't erase it but instead used it to hone himself from within. His heart was pounding from the desire to battle!
Instead of being anything harmful to him, Alec could see that the flow of battle became clearer than ever to him.
He wondered if this was how the rest of the Sins saw it.
In this state, his blood was boiling, and his potential was exploding.
So, why was it that Alec's growth had been so slow compared to the Brights and the other Sins?
It was because he hadn't thrown himself headfirst into battle like the rest of the Sins, yet his natural comprehension couldn't match up to the Brights either.
Alec had been slowly toiling away, trying to increase his magic capacity in the normal manner, yet it was the most inefficient manner for those who were Sins!
Now that he knew about it, Alec felt like an idiot for not taking into account his body's natural abilities.
Alec reserved a part of his mind to look out for the King Vampiric Willow as he moved around the battlefield unhindered.
He was killing to his heart's content today. The long suppressed violent tendencies that Alec himself didn't even know he had been suppressing erupted at this moment.
Alec freed himself from the burden that had been holding him back as he unconsciously tried to emanate the qualities of an Every, which typically did not show a Sin's characteristics for bloodlust.
