His journey becomes even more complicated when he awakens a Mythical-Grade Talent called Soulweaver, granting him the ability to manipulate the souls of monsters, animals, and humans alike.

The Scales

Ethan's heart pounded in his chest as he watched the Shadow Behemoth grapple with the dragon. He was excited as well as anxious.The behemoth's grey, muscular skin was already marked with deep gashes from the dragon's relentless assault. Despite its immense power the Shadow Behemoth was struggling to hold its ground. The dragon's scales were nearly impenetrable, deflecting the behemoth's claws with ease.Ethan realized he had to intervene more directly. With a determined grimace he lunged toward the dragon again after dodging.He aimed for the dragon's exposed flank, hoping to exploit a weak spot in its armor.As he swung his blades the dragon shifted and his strikes glanced off its scales, leaving only minor scratches. The dragon roared, more annoyed than injured, and turned its blazing eyes toward Ethan."Keep pressing the attack!" Ethan commanded inside his head to the Shadow Behemoth, though his confidence was waning.
