Boom!
A deafening explosion erupted from within Richard's body as he unleashed the power of his heart—power that far surpassed his current Aether Accumulation.
His eyes widened at the strength surging through him. It was vast and overwhelming, yet incredibly easy to control.
He wasn't just twice as strong.
He was nearly three times stronger.
From his aura alone, Richard saw the surrounding darkness pushed back slightly, as if it feared his power.
This was clearly not something a Lord at Dasmond's level should have been able to achieve.
Despite having accumulated only fifty thousand Aether in the Grimoire Realm, the raw power released after activating his Black Heart already surpassed that of most Lords.
Richard felt this was on par with the Lord of the Crimson Veil before Ethan.
Of course, that was the Ethan from ten years ago.
Suddenly, Dasmond stopped chasing him, seemingly terrified by the pressure radiating from Richard.
