Another week had drifted by since Erik took on the quest to hunt the Grythoks, a time filled with momentous progress and transformative achievements.
He now stood in the new building, a space he'd bought through Lysa at the cost of 4 million Eurems. Despite its smaller size compared to the guild's main headquarters, it was classier and filled with an air of quiet elegance.
The past week had been eventful for Erik. One of the most significant accomplishments had been getting the telepathic power from the Grythoks' brain crystal.
This newfound ability allowed Erik to converse with other humans and his clones through a mental link forged by mana. It had a seven-kilometer range and the added benefit of complete privacy.
Erik appreciated the immediacy of it, knowing he could use this telepathy during battles without delay.
But there was more. His experiment with Luke absorbing human blood had yielded astounding results.
