3829 Breakthrough

"Fuck!"

The curse is the first word that comes out of my mouth as I woke up. I was not supposed to sleep.

That, feeling of regret only lasted for a moment, before the memories flooded me. My eyes widened before I closed my eyes.

I appeared at my core and looked at my meta-scan.

"Limit finally," I said, looking at the meta-scan. It is more than a limit; in the end, the energy was powerful enough, that it had strengthened the limit and filled it.

Feeling the strength in my veins, I really wish I could fight that Werewolf right now. I am confident that I wouldn't have the same trouble as I had when I fought with it; I wouldn't even need to use my strings.

I now, truly have the strength of Sky Sovereign while being a Sovereign.

Unfortunately, it is not enough to deal with Hyenaman despite it being on the same level as the Werewolf. They may have the same level, but there was a huge difference. The Hyenaman has a bloodline.

I shook my head and looked at the clock.

I had slept right after the practice and only two hours had passed.

I only have seven and a half hours, usually, it is more than enough time for my breakthroughs. That didn't take more than four hours, but it is Earth's Sovereign breakthrough and things could change.

I opened my eyes and looked at the girl, who was staring at me. There was a timer of two hours and she had woken up a few minutes ago.

"Why were you sleeping?" she asked. There was a worry in her eyes and also fear.

I could read her emotions through the seed and also what happened since she woke up. She could have attacked me, and I could see she wanted, not that she would have been able to do anything.

She didn't attack and instead helped me. She cleaned my body and watched over me.

"I was practicing a method," I replied truthfully. She didn't say anything and turned.

"There is a Grimm outside. It seemed powerful," she said, with a fear that she didn't hide. "It is why, we are hiding here," I replied, and the girl shuddered visibly.

She might not be able to tell the Grimm's level, but she could understand, that since I was hiding from it; it must be powerful enough to kill me.

"I am going to practice a method; it might take a few hours," I said to her, and a faint sparkle of hope lit up in her eyes.

"Will it give you a chance against it?" she asked. "If I succeed, then it won't be a problem," I replied.

"Best of luck," she said after a moment of silence.

"Thank you," I said, and an iron ring appeared in my hand. I looked at it, before closing my eyes and appearing back into my core.

There is a huge humanoid of runes. One could see a considerable number of ancient runes on it. Their numbers have reached high enough that, anyone could see them through a single glance.

I am pretty proud of what I have created.

It is such a regret, that I could check it for mistakes before I make the breakthrough.

'I hope, if there are any mistakes, they would be small ones as that,' I said, looking at it. There were two mistakes that my clone had found; they were small and inconsequential, but they had scared me.

I wish, I had time, but unfortunately, I do not. I need to make a breakthrough to survive.

I looked at it for a couple of seconds more before tapping on the inheritance before I was thrown out.

Buzz!

The ring buzzed, and the thin flakes of runes began to come out of it and spread across my body. Seeing them, a surprise appeared on the girl's face.

It is not the common runes that made her surprised, but the ancient ones.

One-tenth of the runes comprised are ancient runes. I had worked really hard on this breakthrough formation, both designing it and crafting it; I hoped it wouldn't disappoint me.

Buzz!

Soon, the runes spread into every part of my body, and they buzzed, before slowing gently.

As it did, I got the look inside and I saw the resources inside the twelve-origin element start. Every essence that will enter inside me, will have the faint power of this origin element.

People could consider me nouveau riche, using the origin element of Earth Sovereign breakthrough.

I am not.

My body and core are strong enough to handle them. Most importantly, they need them. It would help them tremendously in their growth and made my breakthrough safer.

A few seconds passed, and the essence began to form my body. First in a faint stream, but within a second, it had turned into the torrent. The core begins to absorb it all and craves more.

I fed everything it needed but was surprised when it swallowed up the resources, I estimated in forty-five minutes and still taking more.

Thankfully, I had prepared a lot.

A lot of things had changed, that affected the estimation. The dance especially; had brought unexpected results.

I had received a big advancement, greater limit, and the cleansing.

Yes, there was a cleansing; the energy that came last played a big part in it. It took the energy to the very deep and brought out the impurities that were hiding in there.

It was an hour and seven minutes before the core began to slow down. A few seconds later, it stopped.

It didn't remain as such for long.

A few seconds later, the energies begin to enter into my body. They are too got treated with the power of twelve elements of origin. The core, like the essence, begins to swallow them in a massive amount.

The way it is doing, it seemed to have a limitless appetite.

It kind of scared me, but there was nothing I could do, except to feed it till it satisfied and I did just that.

It took it one hour and twenty-one minutes to be fully satisfied.

The easiest parts of the breakthrough are over. Now the hardest parts. If I survive them, I will succeed. If I fail, I will die.
