Leon's consciousness drifted in an endless void, weightless and boundless.
He could feel his very being shifting, evolving—transcending the limitations that once held him back.
Then—
Boom!
A tidal wave of energy erupted from his body, shattering the silence of the void. His senses returned all at once, and Leon's eyes snapped open.
He was no longer the same.
A surge of power coursed through his veins, denser and more refined than anything he had ever experienced. His body had changed—stronger, faster, more in tune with the natural world.
Ding!
⟪ Evolution Completed. You have ascended to Mythic Grade. ⟫
⟪ Your level cap has been increased to 500. ⟫
⟪ System Notice: You have surpassed mortal limitations. Your existence now treads the boundary of divinity. ⟫
Leon clenched his fists, feeling the raw might at his fingertips.
But then—his heart sank.
His connection with Fenrir was distant. Severed.
The memory of his defeat resurfaced—Seraphiel, the Divine Envoy, had sealed Fenrir away beyond his reach. No matter how much stronger he became, he still wasn't strong enough to bring his beast back.
A deep frustration burned in his chest.
He had come so far, yet it still wasn't enough.
He exhaled sharply, forcing himself to calm down. Dwelling on his loss wouldn't change anything. He had a path forward, a new limit to break.
And he wasn't alone.
His tamer instincts flared, searching for the presence of his remaining beasts—only to find silence.
His Mythic ascension had pushed him beyond his old bonds. The beasts he had once tamed were no longer bound to him.
He was starting from nothing again.
But Leon's gaze hardened.
If he had to rebuild, he would.
The world was vast, and countless powerful beasts roamed the lands. This was not the end. It was simply the beginning of a new hunt.
A new legend was about to unfold.
