Chapter 82 - 82. New Heights (1/2)

When the last 'Mack' died, a door made of light appeared at the center of the stadium, but Mack was in no hurry to enter.

With his eyes closed, Mack focused completely on the changes happening in his body.

This time was different from the others. Mack was not only making his body able to contain more essence using the mix of runespells but also actively telling his body where to become better.

His muscles already were harder than steel because of essence, but now they were like this in the natural form, even if Mack had no essence in his body he would still be a monster.

But the thing Mack noticed more was the fine tune with Essence.

It seemed at each evolution he became more and more familiar with it, as if a baby learning how to use his own arms.

Mack noticed his hearing becoming better, his teeth becoming sharper and the hair over his body disappearing, with only his beard and long hair in his head remaining..

A few hours later, the process finally ended and Mack could literally feel in his bones the changes that came with the new evolution.

But one thing bugged Mack.

His eyes.

He didn't need to look at himself to see the changes in his own body, essence could do that for him, and his eyes had become more sharper and incisive like one of a predator, but the color of his eyes changed, from green to opaque red, it was subtle but yet noticeable.

Essence had this kind of power, to chance things to make it more tuned to it

That red eyes were a problem for him in the future. It could easily make him stand out.

But that would be a good help for Mack in the next tests he would do today.

Mack mustered his will using the domain runespell and focused on his eyes, picturing the image of his own green eyes.

But nothing happened.

Then Mack thought about the pigment in his eyes changing.

But nothing happened again.

”It seems will be way harder than I thought”

But that for Mack was only the start.

The 'epiphany' he had during the fight was yet to be fully tested.

Mack deactivated the gravity runespell but kept active the domain runespell.

”Maybe the color of the eyes is too much to begin”

Mack pulled from his memories all times he had used the domain runespell until now and how it was easy for him to blow a head or move something using only his will.

'What am I missing?'

Mack had to test again.

He expanded his domain runespell a bit and tried to levitate like as if he was flying.

Still with eyes closed, Mack paid full attention to how the essence behaved and he could see that small and strong gusts of wind the size of a rice grain pushed him up.

Mack threw a dagger to the front and used his will to make it come back to him and paid full attention to the details.
