The moment Axel finished speaking, his figure burst into a spark of lightning, appearing in front of the man who had just spoken.
'So fast?' Modret was slightly surprised. 'Did Axel's strength increase once more?'
Modret was startled. Although he'd told Axel to hunt animals and gather shadow fragments to increase his strength, he didn't expect his strength to have increased by this much.
He touched the back of his head awkwardly. 'I need to dedicate more time to cultivating my mana. I can't be caught lacking.'
As soon as Axel landed, the man with gray hair froze in his tracks. However, being a seasoned bandit, he didn't hesitate to use his ability.
He leaped off the awakened beast and landed on the ground with a loud thud, causing the ground to cave in slightly and raising gravel and dust.
Then, he stomped his foot heavily on the ground.
It cracked apart, the fissure trailing down and rapidly chasing after Axel.
'An earth-type ability?'
