At this moment, Sterl had just completed his enhancement through the infusion of soul power. Both his physical and mental states were at their peak.
However, Sterl wasn't sure how strong the backlash from absorbing high-level soul power would be. So, to be safe, he decided to absorb it at the slowest possible rate.
Once he felt prepared, Sterl grasped the Soul Devourer Sphere and carefully began drawing out the high-level soul power stored within it.
Soon, a faint trickle of high-level soul power, under his control, began to flow out of the Soul Devourer Sphere. With his full attention fixed on it, it gradually seeped into his body.
Then…
"Huh? It doesn't seem to be causing any problems?"
Sterl, who had been on high alert, waiting for the backlash, was surprised. The thread of high-level soul power, once it entered his body, behaved just like a drop of ordinary water—no reaction whatsoever.
