Chapter 408: Awakening
"... I guess I can ask for some potions from them in exchange for my services," Rain said while smiling mischievously. "For each person that I rescue, I will ask for one bottle of their best spiritual potions. It is a fair trade, equivalent exchange to the rescue."
"Big bro, you are a mercenary, through and through," Dana said while frowning a bit.
"Yes, I am," Rain shrugged. "When you have something in high demand, you have to sell it. If you put low value on your possessions and skills, it is the same as asking to be exploited. In any case, just to be safe and to move as fast as possible, I will go alone.
With Limit Breaker and Magic Boost, Dad, Jori, and Reca can be strong as a battalion, but it will be better if most of our frontline stays here."
"I am going too. Someone has to be sure that you won't return half-dead," Terra declared. "Besides, I want to keep improving my healing skills, and there is no better place for that than a battlefield."
"Really, is that what you truly want?" Rain asked while looking at Terra with his eyes filled with suspicion.
"... What else would I want by going with you?" Terra asked, visibly surprised.

"Don't play dumb... you want half of the potions that I will ask for!" Rain replied after raising his voice.
"Yeah, sure... I am sick of drinking potions instead of water," Terra said after a long sigh.
It didn't take long for Rain to make some progress; he didn't use his magic and sharpened the feeling on a daily basis for nothing, after all. Still, while he was doing that... the chamber would lose speed and also would decrease in altitude as well.
"At least the mana regeneration speed is already two times better than when I use Meditation... I am still halfway through, though," Rain thought.
Terra was already in her deep state of meditation even though she wasn't using mana. Or maybe she was alternating between using that technique and Magic Boost.
Rain took a good look at her and soon realized that she wasn't moving at all, and she looked like a cat as well, staring at nothing, so Rain decided to use that as a guide.
Little by little, Rain began to enter that deep stage of meditation. As Rain delved deeper into the advanced Meditation technique, he noticed a remarkable transformation in his sensory perception. Even without shifting his gaze, it was as if his field of vision had expanded, offering a clearer and more detailed view of his surroundings.
Every minute detail became vivid and distinct, allowing him to discern even the subtlest of changes.
His heightened senses extended beyond sight. Rain's hearing became exceptionally acute, capturing sounds that previously escaped his notice. He could detect the faint rustling of leaves, the distant calls of birds, and even the soft, rhythmic thumping of Terra's heartbeat, each sensation becoming more pronounced and distinct in his newfound state of heightened awareness.
It was as if the world had come into sharper focus... before long, Rain also began to sense her scent as well, and that broke his concentration.
"She didn't say that this is actually possible..." Rain furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
The smell was quite good and relaxing, but Rain soon broke his attention since it was starting to get dangerous... The beast was awakening.
