Max opened his eyes slowly, a faint light flickering in their depths. 'With this… my physical strength should now reach the peak of Expert Rank,' he thought calmly. His muscles pulsed subtly, his body now infused with the raw might of dragon blood.
'Now I need the Chaos Stones,' Max thought, his gaze drifting across the quiet chamber as he noticed the absence of Princess Lenavira from the Tower of Truth.
A flicker of disappointment passed through his mind, but it was quickly replaced by deeper thoughts. Her absence reminded him of the conversation he'd had with the elf Supreme Master, particularly the cryptic words about the Heavenly Luminance Divine Bloodline and the Heavenly Luminance Royal Bloodline.
But Max shook his head, brushing aside those tangled thoughts. 'I'll deal with that later,' he resolved. For now, the priority was the Chaos Stones.
