Cooldown = 25 seconds.

Casting Time = 2 seconds.

[Lumen Mortem - ACTIVE - LV 19

A beautifully divine yet dangerous spell. With a short incantation, the user welcomes the light into him with open arms, being, in turn, completely enveloped by heavenly particles of light that absorb all around him all forms of available light present, from the sky and beyond.

Once there's no more light to absorb, the user releases this energy down on the enemy in the form of a beam of pure divine light.

Cooldown = 10 hours.

Cost = 100% of total MP.]

"I think that will do," I nodded with a smile, reading over the spells I had acquired to fight Knull during this past week, feeling proud I had managed to get them all before shit went down. Now, it was simply a matter of continuing with my leveling; the skills I wanted to use would grow with me during the whole process.

I already had all the skills I wanted or felt I needed to fight Knull.

Meaning that the rest would fall into place alone.

In other words, no more hunting for skills. Now, it was time to grind some EXP.

"Let's see…." I muttered, opening my dungeon tab with a thought to see what I had available for my level that gave the most EXP.

[Delves of the Gentle God - LV 3215 - 3290.

Maze of the Doomed Hunter - LV 3275 - 3350.

Tombs of the Neglected - LV 3277 - 3352.

Lair of the Ruthless - LV 3354 - 3407.

The Whispering Shadows Vault - LV 3400 - 3500.

The Forsaken Maze - LV 3425 - 3516.

The Sunken Vault - LV 3520 - 3700.

The Ethereal Vault - LV 3715 - 3901.

The Demonic Lair - LV 4000 - 4657.]

Well, I can only do one… the Delves of the Gentle God; the rest are above my LV, so I can't really enter them, even if I wanted to risk it. "A lot of Vaults and Mazes in the dungeon menu now that I see it…." I chuckled, realizing there were three vaults and two mazes. And, now that I see it again, some Lairs as well.

I guess why change what works? Am I right?

[Thor Odinson POV]

I was far behind my brother now.

I could no longer walk by his side, shoulder to shoulder, let alone see his back or shadow anymore.

I was running an uphill battle to reach him, and while my training was proving to be rather effective, mighty even, so might say. I was still falling behind.

Each step I took towards him meant my brother had taken a thousand steps more.

This, however, was entirely my fault.

Sure, there was no doubt that my incredible brother was a mighty being without equal! Save for me, of course. Nevertheless, his potential was one worthy of envy, respect, admiration, and fear.

All of this was nothing but the truth!

As it was an undeniable fact, I was to blame for falling behind.

I was barely tapping into my power, grasping the mere surface of it all, having access only to what little my body couldn't help but leak. I had realized this some time ago.

The Super Duper Thor.

That's the name I had given Alex.

A transformation that allowed me to tap into more of my power.

It wasn't really a transformation, or at all, really. It was more of an attunement process with my powers, where, by meditating, I would manage to access more power.

The results of this… varied.

Sometimes, I would not be able to draw any more power, resulting in an explosion that would send me flying away.

Other times, I would succeed in my mighty endeavor getting a sizable boost in power. However, this increase was temporary, lasting at much, a minute or two.

I didn't quite understand why that was.

I had a noble cause to fight for, a family to protect, and a Kingdom to rule, yet, my own power was rejecting me.

I even started to question, was I truly worthy of this power?

Turns out, I wasn't, not yet.

I had yet some lessons to learn.

One of them was that this situation I was currently dealing with, with not being able to access all of my power, wasn't something new.

I had had this glaring flaw for a long, long time.

I had never truly been at full power. Because as a blind, stupid fool, I had never tried to learn about myself, about my powers, neglecting what made me Thor, the promised son of Asgard.

I refused to continue that way.

Mother used to say something when I was but a boy.

My sweet child, to uncover your true potential, you must first find your own limits, and then you have to have the courage to blow past them.

I never really understood what she meant by that, not at that time.

Now, I did.

"Just wait, brother, you will not face the challenges ahead alone," I smiled, for the day I allowed my sworn brother to be alone in this universe would be the day of my death.
