Arriving at the entrance to the training room of the commander of this army post, Vicente silently used his skills to take out the guards on the outside of the room.
After killing three more, this time level 5 Acolytes, he arrived at the entrance to the room where Christopher was meditating alone.
Christopher had ingested a portion of the 3rd-stage herb. He had since been absorbing the nutrients, mana, and elements compatible with him from that resource through his meditation.
From what Vice sensed when he entered that place, the local commander was half a step away from making a breakthrough and becoming a Mid-level Mage!
Fortunately for Vicente, Christopher would still need about 30 minutes to finish his meditation, more than enough time for this young man to act!
'You bastard! You stole something that was supposed to benefit my family!' Vicente clenched his fists, but he didn't blame Rory and Bart.
