It took little more than eleven minutes to harness before my core released the strengthening essence, and it filled my runes before spreading into my body.
I watched all with shock, and why wouldn't I be; I had reached the limit, and other than the boosts of this place, nothing seemed to be working in pushing back the limit, and now I see a faint stream of strengthening essence filling my runes and spreading into my body and soul.
With me reaching the limit, I had thought I would not get a boost from strengthening essence gotten from the Grimms, but it seemed like the level of the essence I was getting was too low grade to push my limit back.
The stream was faint, but the boost it provided to me was huge; despite the immense resistance, the stream of essence pushed inside my body and soul.
