Tave spent the next stretch of time in deep meditation, focusing on stabilizing his Gaia Force and absorbing the elemental particles around him. Thankfully, the environment here was rich with both Dark and Fire elements, his natural affinities, making the process smoother.
It made sense. He'd just killed four demons. The Gaia Force released from their deaths alone was enough to trigger a serious boost.
Imagine that.
He could feel the surge within him. And moments later, the confirmation appeared in front of his eyes.
[ You have advanced to Level 28. ]
Tave opened his eyes. The flow had settled. His power was stable.
Level 28.
That was a big leap, bigger than he'd expected, though deep down, he had hoped for more. After all, the demons he fought were leagues above him. If anything, this should've pushed him right to Level 29.
Maybe I'm close. Really close. He glanced down at his hands, still tingling with lingering force.
