Theron leapt onto the Alpha's back and they shot off into the distance. He could feel the blood within the latter's body churning, and it only took 30 minutes before the burst came.
Chi.
The Alpha shattered the barrier to mid-tier Gold Mancy and its speed suddenly skyrocketed. It ping-ponged between trees, accelerating into a red blur through the forest until it suddenly leapt out entirely.
Harsh winds buffeted against Theron, but he closed his eyes in silence, sitting cross-legged on the beast's back.
'It won't hit Fifth Resonance…' he concluded.
It was a shame. A single Elder Kelyne Black had gotten the Alpha to Third Resonance, but the gap between tiers was too much. It would only be slower from now on.
Unless…
Theron's mind went toward the Beast Core, but he eventually shook his head. This Beast Core was his own. Plus, it was from a low-tier beast. The odds that it would help the Alpha were next to zero, although the purity of the energy would likely be much higher.
