Reign simply zoned out as he looked at the huge difference in his status screen, even though he expected the difference to be big after going through the first evolution, wasn't this a bit too much?

His stats had pretty much-doubled thanks to the evolution and some of his skills, including the passive which was his mana heart, had improved. Thanks to his improved mana heart he was able to store more mana, which was very helpful of course, but one other thing that Reign had now realized was that his body was also storing mana everywhere inside of it. It was like his body was acting like mana was blood and it could actually store a solid amount of it. Thanks to that he would have a bigger mana reserve even without the mana heart evolving as his body pretty much acted as an early phase mana heart right now.

The change that was brought to one of his earliest skills [ Lightning Movement ] was also a great one, from the 15% increase to his speed and hand movement, the now evolved version of the skill, [ Lightning Flicker ] actually improved his speed by 50% whilst increasing his hand movement by 35% ], an incredible increase that would be very helpful in the future.

The [ Lightning Roar ] skill had actually reached 3/5 of its potential back when Reign used it against the orc commander, with it getting up to 4/5 of the potential it was bound to have become more powerful by a good margin right now. Of course, his ability improving and his being able to sense lightning and control it more efficiently was great as well, just not as visible of a change as the others were.

"How do you feel?" Raigon suddenly asked Reign who looked at him before summoning his items. He simply felt weird standing here and wearing only a towel.

"Strong," Reign answered.

"Hahahahaha," Raigon laughed out loud as he looked at the calm face of Reign, "I agree with you on that one, my mana reserve is larger than ever and I'm back in top shape right now, the evolution really is an incredible thing huh?"

"Yeah, all my fatigue and exhaustion from the battle is gone, I'm pretty much back at 100% right now," Reign answered as he stretched his arms a bit.

"Well, since both of us are so full of energy, do you know what we should do?" Raigon flashed a ferocious smile at Reign who simply smiled warmly in return.

"Go and help the others kill the first evolution combatants of the coalition?"

"My man!" Raigon flashed a thumbs up at Reign who shook his head while chuckling.

"Why not, I do wonder just how much stronger I am right now."

"Good, you're faster than me, so how about you go and help out the commander while I go and help out uncle in dealing with those 2 guys that he's fighting against?"

"Yeah, I can do that."

"Alright, see you after we finish this war." Raigon smiled at Reign before creating a pair of golden wings behind his back, with a clap of the wings he started floating in the air before going over the wall of the gorge. He had always wanted to do this, but before he had gone through the first evolution he was unable to create wings because of 2 reasons.

The first reason was simply that he didn't understand how wings worked, after studying birds for some time he was able to get a high enough understanding, but unfortunately for him, the power of his ability and his own power wasn't enough to allow him to use them, with him managing to go through the first evolution, however, he was finally able to use it.

The speed with which Raigon flew wasn't particularly fast as this was his first time controlling the wings. Still, it was faster compared to running there or using a horse and he would be able to get to the other fortification in a couple of hours.

As for Reign, he simply used his ability and coated himself in lightning before speeding off to a distance. His speed was incredible and it was obvious that the evolution had brought a great boost to him as his speed right now was equal to his top speed before the evolution.

( Author: By top speed I mean his speed when using everything, right now he is only using the black and white lighting without using the mark or weapon skills. )

Reign could feel that the power he had now was not something he could hope to match before, of course, that kind of power didn't come without any disadvantages either. He could subconsciously feel that the weapon skill from his katana wouldn't be as potent as before, it was able to double his power previously, but he would be lucky if it gave him a 50% boost right now.

The broken sword however was still fine, as the skill simply returned the weapon to its base form which was a rank S weapon, it had actually become stronger now since Reign's stats were all higher. When it comes to those in the first and second evolution, the main weapons that they would use were rank S weapons.

'So how does it go exactly?' Reign suddenly asked Aethion.

"Well, first and second evolution can use rank S items without getting any penalties like you are getting with the rank A weapon right now, third and fourth evolution use rank SS items, when it comes to SSS items, and the highest Z rank items, however, they work for all the above, well, the SSS rank items still have some limits compared to rank Z, but there's no need for you to worry about that, you still need to get to level 100 before having the opportunity to go through the second evolution," Aethion said calmly as he inspected Reign from the inside, the incredible boost to power that Reign had suddenly received was even beyond his estimates, one should know that it wasn't only the difficulty of the evolution that was based on talent, but also how potent the result of the evolution would be. It was obvious that Reign was one that had top-tier talent in the whole universe as Aethion himself didn't get such a boost after going through the first evolution.

'Really, meeting geniuses can truly make a dent in your confidence.' Aethion sighed to himself as he continued listening to Reign.

'Hey, how many evolutions are there anyway?'

"It depends on the person, to be honest, there are some that become Transcendent after going through the fifth, some after the seventh, some can't go through it even after more evolutions, from what I have heard, the tenth should be the final one, after one manages to get to level 1 000 they will be able to go through it and immediately break through the Transcendent realm, of course, that is only something I have heard."

'What about you, when did you break through?'

"I broke through after the seventh evolution, so I was a bit stronger than average right after becoming a Transcendent, but beware, evolution isn't all, I have even met some incredibly powerful Transcendents that have never gone through an evolution before."

'Not even one?!' Reign asked him with a shocked face, he knew that it was possible for people to not go through an evolution and still level up, but to think they could even become Transcendents, that was a first.

"The universe is vast and holds many opportunities, there are even those without talent that had managed to get treasures from ancient age and suddenly become powerful characters in the universe, nothing is impossible Reign, remember that."

'Mhm.' Reign nodded at Aethion's words before continuing his journey, the fortification he was going to was a bit further away compared to the one where Raigon was going and it would take him some time to get there. He was also a bit excited to see the third first evolution combatant the kingdom had, and to of course test out his new power.
