One Down

Michael was not sure what the other groups were doing, but the energy shares reaching his War Rune increased exponentially suddenly.

Dozens of energy shares nourished his War Rune every few seconds, slowly increasing its refinement degree.

The sensation of growing stronger without the need to do something was extraordinary. It was addicting. Michael wasn't too worried either. He sensed that Hiraku and the Warlock Centaurs were fine and that most energy shares reached him through Zeroa.

The interesting thing about that was that Zeroa hadn't established a proper Link of Loyalty with Michael for a long time. She had a Taming Bond with Michael as his tamed monster, but she wasn't 'part of his territory' officially. That changed when the Elementals requested to be more integrated into Michael's territory.
