Almost instantly, Karsha appeared in front of the waterfall in the Queen's Embrace. Since his level-up during the blood expedition, he had become exponentially stronger and faster.
His strength had multiplied tenfold, and he could now move several miles in the blink of an eye—a speed that only a few Sages could match, and even Great Sages would struggle to keep up with him.
"I guess I didn't suffer for nothing," he mused, reflecting on his harrowing battle with the Tier 12 Calamity Mutant. It had been a daunting fight, and he had narrowly escaped death, thanks to Lunar buying him precious time and Khinux intervening at crucial moments.
"I will make sure there's no next helpless time," Karsha vowed, clenching his fist. Determination surged through him as he dashed toward the waterfall, passing through it in a blur and emerging on the other side.
