And it wasn't just his body; he could feel that his soul, deep down inside, had suffered extremely serious wounds, giving him a second, immense pain.
But Maxime gritted his teeth and tried as best he could to control the energy that appeared throughout his body simultaneously.
And all that energy transformed him completely.
Not only had his hair turned white, but so had his eyes.
All the mercenaries and apprentice knights felt a shiver run through their hearts in Maxime's direction.
Especially Laura, who felt her heart clench with every passing moment.
It was as if a monster of unprecedented power had been born.
Everyone knew the details of Maxime's talent.
And they more or less equally knew the consequences.
Having become so powerful, they all knew that Maxime's chances of survival diminished with every passing second.
