Chapter 550 A New Perspective

"Two months? Are you serious?!"

Rey's eyes were wide open as he heard those words from Ater. He had expected a few days-perhaps one or two weeks tops-but this new revelation was a complete subversion of his expectations.

"Well, two months and about three weeks, but yes..." Ater added, a strained smile planted on his face.bender

The seated boy's eyes turned even more bloodshot as his Familiar added more fuel to the fire.

"That means I've spent over six months in H'Trae, and... wait, that's not the most important thing right now!'

He didn't have a sense of urgency before, since he wanted to take his time to fully unpack and process everything that had happened to him, but now?

Now he could feel his heart racing like crazy.

Jumping to his feet in an instant, he didn't waste any time before activating all of his Passive Skills in order to gear up for what would come next.

The moment he did so, though-

"A-ah..."

-Everything around and about him changed forever.

At first, it felt like something was surging through his body, like currents of electricity, fused into his very being. He soon found those to be the cells within his body.

He was connected to every last one.

His mind expanded beyond what he previously perceived as normal, and he was perfectly with sync with every facet of his body.

Not only did he feel much stronger than before, but his perspective on everything within and without was completely altered.

Rey could see the world from a 360 degrees angle, having complete awareness of his surroundings-and this was without his Domain Skill activated.

He felt everything-from the tension of the air, to the particles that floated around him. Every detail in the room was burned into his memory and perfectly registered, and he processed everything within a tiny fraction of a moment.

The further away things were, the less details he had of them, but everything within the room was completely assimilated into his mind.

It felt like a whole stream of knowledge was imparted into him, and that was only the beginning.

"These particles in the air... they're Mana?'

He could not only detect every strand of Mana, as if they were visible elements of reality, but he could also detect their flow, trajectory, and origin.

Even when he closed his eyes, he perceived a completely different world-one where there was blackness, but the outline of everything around him still remained. He could perfectly sense things, but it felt different.

It wasn't worse... just different.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Much to his surprise, the clashing problem was gone. Not only could he see the world in Dark Mode, but strangely enough, he could also see it in Light Mode.

It was a perfect blend between the two.

It made no sense to Rey, so he looked at his Familiar for an explanation.

"You're still very inexperienced when it comes to adjusting your Divine Senses to this world, so the best thing is to mitigate the effects of both by allowing them to overlap."

As a result, Rey's sight had returned to what would be deemed 'normal' for the most part.

"You can take your time to slowly acclimate to this state of things. Then, at moments, you can alternate between Light and Dark Mode by shutting off your vision or ensuring both your eyes do not need to blink."

Once again, the level of detail by which Ater spoke showed some expertise in the matter.

"How do you know so much?"

"Pardon my impudence, Master. But, I genuinely do not remember." Ater replied. "I must have had the experience in a previous world."

"Eh?" Rey slightly tensed his gaze on Ater as he heard this explanation.

It did seem a little odd, but after recognizing all that he had done to explain and even solve Rey's ailment, it made no sense for Ater to be lying.

Plus, they were connected by the Soul, so there was no doubt about how genuine he was being.

"Alright. I believe you." He sighed, shrugging a little as he smiled. "There's a bunch of stuff I don't understand and I would like to know, but let's take it one step at a time." "Thank you, Master." Ater bowed his head even lower. After shaking his head a little, heaving a little sigh, he walked past Ater and tapped his shoulder.

"Enough with that. I really should get down to business."

His dark hair swayed ever so slightly as clothing began to appear all over his body. He instantly donned a long dark coat, with a black attire and matching trousers. His shoes were of the same color, perfectly blending well with his dark hair while contracting his slightly paler skin.

His outfit had traces of red lined around them, however, and this intricate design made both dominant colors pop out.

"Where do we start?"

"Well... I left a certain friend behind in a particular Dungeon for nearly three months..." Rey said as he turned back to see Ater smiling at him.

"Let's hope she doesn't skin me alive for the delay."
