Atticus released a small sigh, calming down slightly. He had been so tense that he had overreacted.
He turned towards Aurora to see her also calmed down. They were both deep inside the alleyway in a place so dark it would be hard to see anything, especially with their purple armor.
Seeing that it was not a threat, Atticus focused on getting himself back to full shape, along with Aurora. But regardless, he still kept a close eye on the couple.
It turned out to be a false alarm as they left after a few minutes.
Feeling himself back to acceptable levels, Atticus stood up from his seated position and took in a large breath, focusing on the state of his body.
He had finally unlocked his mana core, and Atticus was absolutely elated. It wasn't to the extent that he would feel should he regain his full strength, but it was something.
