Crushing Charles

Gift.

A sign of goodwill.

A show of joy.

Little things that made both the givers and receivers happy.

Varian learned a new thing about gifts that day.

…They could end up changing the course of an entire battle.

Thunder Fruit. Ice Orb. Tempering Liquids. Space Jade. Mind Flower.

It was a meticulously prepared gift. Not only were these treasures suitable for a level 7 awakener, they also covered all the divine paths he was currently awakened in.

The result, which seemed like a lucky coincidence, was in fact, the fruition of Sia's hard work.

'Sia…' Varian breathed out lightly as the surge of strength finally ended.

Without even consciously trying, he felt a significant difference in all his senses. It was a sure sign of his improvement.

"…Y-You just swallowed the treasures! Even I take days to digest all those treasures!" Charles, in the form of Lykos, growled.
