The sky was dark filled with dark grey laters of clouds, the morning breeze was cold and chilly as fog covered the forest
Kamila had traced back the Predators Den, it was a cave firmed within an obscenely large boulder than almost looked like a hill despite being much smaller.
There she carried the corpse of the predator and was barely able to skin it, the meat she harvested was sour filled with the internal juices of ruptured organs, a mistake she made during skinning.
She had eaten it regardless after roasting it over the flames, in all honesty Kamila did not know what she was doing and was only working based on memory.
She had seen Ivan skin and harvest meat from the corpses of the beast they hunted, Kaleb had joined in and learnt to do so but she....had never taken an interest to it. Not because she disdained the act, rather she purely did not have an interest in doing so until now.
But this was mearly a set back, the real issue was that her armor was damaged, the breastplate had claws engraved onto it, along with smaller cuts.
' I'll figure something out later,' she sighed discarding the thought she made way into the now white fogged forest ready to test out her new found strength
Her inheritance was rewarding, too rewarding one might say, it gave her a quantitative and qualitative boost to her power, her bones had been ground to dust and remade while she was within her sea of consciousness.
This was why Berian had called her weird, when a descendant begins to watch their bloodline memories all the cumbersome and painful elevations are conducted, how long you remain in this trance state dictates how much you will gain after awakening.
For Kamila who had been in that state four six whole hours had gained immense benefits that no one in the past millenias of the Varia Household had gained.
Her blood was cleansed, purified and refined, her bloodlines were strengthened, be it the Varia Bloodline or that of her mother's or even her grandfather's they were all enhanced.
Her bones were shattered and ground to dust before being discarded and reforged Into stronger sturdier and more flexible that could survive the full brunt of a Great Sword without breaking.
Her internal organs were also strengthened, enhanced and refined as they were four times stronger and could facilitate the brunt of long drawn out battles far better and were less prone to injury
Her senses and instincts sharpened to the point where she even surpassed the predator which had forced her back seem like a cub that was still adapting to their abilities.
But with boons comes consequences one which was felt despite her Cultivation being sealed. She had regressed in body Cultivation along with mana cultivation.
Her body Cultivation had been reduced to that of a mortal while still retaining it's Primal strength, her physique had changed into that of the Dawn Lioness, with this she had gained something most Beastfolk would kill for, Beastification.
Yes she had a trace of the ability but not like her Ancestor who could take the form of the lioness, she was only able to make claws a s further boost her physical capabilities nothing more
But this small boon was already grand as her own physical capabilities w1ere now obscenely high
Her strength had already reached the middle levels of inhuman as no normal body Cultivator below Primal stage could surpass her, her primal breathing technique also increased her strength by leaps and bounds.
The Breathing Techniques were a creation of mortal humans who could not cultivate but refused to remain weak, they were able to birth an ingenious means of bolstering their strength while relying on only their bodies.
The Breathing Techniques could boost a mortals physical capabilities to rival that of a supernatural which was what humans used to term Cultivators
Kamila's breathing based on her mastery could only increase her power by twofold, but twofold backed with an already inhuman standard base strength plus the fact that she would continue to consume beast cores throughout the Trials, that backed with the traces of beastification that could also enhance her physicality, she was a beast in the making.
But all these boons were useless if the bearer was lacking in hardwork and determination, thus was however something she had in abundance given that even under suppression in her family she was still able to reach red core realm without their wholehearted support.
Kamila made a light sprint into the foggy forest, but the light sprint turned into a dash as she crashed into a tree
' Too fast! I'm too fast....problem one speed training,' she highlighted picking out her faults and addressing the solution right there and then
She stood up and looked at the tree she had crashed into, she surprisingly felt little to no pain as if she were to scale what she felt it would be more of a graze than a bruise, ' I have stupidly high endurance and pain resistance....that's another problem, it might affect my fights,where I sustain more damage than I perceive...I'll have to test my limits,' she noted again her eyes still on the tree she grimaced as another fault registered in her mind
' I'm stupidly strong, that speed was not enough to carve my body's imprint onto this tree... unrestrained strength how troublesome...' she rubbed her temples feeling a headache coming along she sighed helplessly and smile " At least I got stronger though, can't wait to rub it in Kaleb's face," she laughed
" Anyways jokes aside my senses are also too high, my sense of smell for one is too potent that it's troublesome, " she sniffed herself " do I really smell that bad?! Shit this is worse than that time Kaleb refused to bathe for a while week despite his sweaty training schedule!!" she paled and panicked as her eyes narrowed Into slits " The top ranked problem, Find a water source and bathe! I refuse to be smellier than Kaleb! Never!" she vowed with weird determination
