Forbidden Sphere

Chapter 108

In the days following his battle against the bear, Arran found himself unexpectedly busy.

Between purifying Essence, studying the seal on his forbidden Realm, and studying Snowcloud's Memory Amulet, he already had a hefty workload. But now, even more had been added to it.

He had decided not to let the bear meat go to waste, and absorbing its Natural Essence took hours of Body Refinement a day, followed by more hours doing the same with Shadow Essence to balance the effects.

And then, there was his Shadowsight. The technique was too useful to ignore, and practicing it was also useful practice for developing his Sense — even if it was his own Essence, he spread it in a mist so thin that Sensing it still posed a challenge.

Unlike his other activities, however, practicing Shadowsight required him to leave the cave. Despite the risk, he did so gladly — even if he could not see his surroundings, being in the cave for days on end felt too much like being in a dungeon cell for his liking.
