"H-hoo."
Slumping back into my chair, I felt exhausted. Not so much physically, but mentally. The step wasn't particularly hard or painful. At least, when compared to the previous times, it had been a lot easier.
Perhaps, I had long been ready to reach the Fourth Order.
Nevertheless, it was still rather exhausting.
But—
"Herder, huh?"
I closed my eyes and felt my new node.
I didn't quite know what the new node did, but I had a hunch.
'If it's based on the fact that I did reach the Fourth Order before, even if I wasn't in the right state, it should be "that" skill, right?'
I tried my best to hide my smile. If it really was the skill I was thinking of, then it would be a massive boost to my strength. Alongside the knife, I was almost certain my rank wasn't unjustified.
In fact, I had a feeling that I could probably rank even higher.
But these were just my guesses.
At the end of the day, I didn't truly know how strong I had become.
