Gabriel's physique hadn't changed, but he appeared slightly taller.
The aura around him was calmer than ever, to the point that he could control it to a precision where not a trace of it could be sensed even by the strongest of people.
It was as if he was nothing but a mere mortal with some physical strength. His eyes were filled with serenity, yet there appeared to be a storm brewing within them.
Even Ezekiel couldn't see exactly how much Gabriel had grown, but he had a feeling that Gabriel was able to defend himself now. In the last few weeks, Gabriel had trained non stop, challenging himself at every step of the way.
Moreover, he had defeated many Abyssal Dragons without any external help, passing the test set forth by Ezekiel.
Gabriel gazed at Ezekiel. After a brief pause, he spoke, "Thank you."
