Infinite Mana In The Oasis-Chapter 174 Breakthroughs P2

"How did you achieve a breakthrough all of a sudden? Did you have a potion on you as well?"

Lagartha asked Eren as she saw him get up. The fire-element domain was about to be dispersed when Eren was pulled into the state of epiphany. Eren strengthened the spell as soon as he opened his eyes, making it last for a while longer.

Ren dusted off his butt after getting up and channeled his mana through his entire body. The lightning mana produced a tongue of lightning all around him while his fire element mana made his bare skin catch fire at various places.

Eren got rid of all the blood and flesh residue on him by calling his mana throughout his body. Although his clothes still looked a bit haggard, they were devoid of any bloody marks.

Eren opened and closed his fists by putting his hands in front of him. He felt the newfound energy inside his body before commenting to himself.

"Hm. The last stage of the Meta Rank. Not bad."

Eren mumbled to himself as he noticed the state both of his mana cores were in. The unthinkable had happened again. This time, Eren wasn't surprised by the fact that he had again achieved multi-stage breakthroughs.

Before the breakthrough, he was in the sixth stage of the Meta Rank. And now he was in the ninth stage, which should have taken him a considerable time to reach under normal circumstances.

However, he wasn't normal.

'My infinite mana core doesn't stop processing the mana until it hits the phase bottleneck. That's why I can achieve multi-stage breakthroughs.'

Since it had happened three times in a row, Eren could deduce the reason behind his peculiar breakthrough phenomenon. He was sure that others in the Stardust guild would have had their jaw dropped on the floor if they were here witnessing the scene.

Eren chuckled and shook his head before answering Lagartha's question.

"Call it a sympathy breakthrough. I only wanted to give you company and ended up receiving a reward for being a distinguished gentleman."

Lagartha looked at him as if saying "that was not funny." Eren laughed at her look before asking the question he wanted to ask her.

"Are the restrictions lifted?"

Eren could feel that Lagartha was a rank ahead of him. She had safely entered the ranks of the Awakened. For some reason, since Eren started having his breakthrough, the environment around him helped her stabilize her breakthrough as well. As a result, she could process her potion-induced epiphany faster and safer than she had anticipated.

Lagartha's looks had been changed after entering the Awakened rank. She somehow started looking more beautiful and full of life than she already was. Thanks to the Awakened rank breakthrough, her skin appeared more youthful. Her green hair gained more shine and looked more voluminous.

Her feminine features had also become more prominent than before. She felt like all her current clothes needed to be replaced with larger sizes. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

Lagartha ignored Eren's gaze on her body and continued.𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

"Yes. The restrictions were lifted as soon as I reached the Awakened rank. We can talk now."

"Excellent. Let's wrap this up quickly before Mia returns."

Eren clapped his hands and ordered Lagartha to tell him everything. The latter nodded at him before she started telling him everything she knew about what the House of Spiders was up to.

Since the guild's restrictions no longer controlled her and she was bound to betray it anyway, Lagartha had decided to take it all out. She provided Eren with all the information he needed.

Eren knew that he had never been on the Spiders' radar. But things would change when it starts investing in the disappearance of its entire party.

"The way you are saying it, it seems unlikely that you will return to the guild anytime soon. Are you not joining the Spiders right away?"

Eren asked when Lagartha gave him all the crucial information. She shook her before commenting.

"You had asked me why Geer was made the vice-captain of the team instead of that position being assigned to me, right? The reason is simple.

Geer is the younger brother of my team's captain. His name is Gian. He was the one who chose to make Geer the team's vice-captain.

Gian is bound to cause a ruckus when he learns about his brother's death. Me being there in front of him as the only survivor of the team might put me in his crosshairs. The guy is crazy that way.

I could always say that I was thoroughly injured in battle and chose to remain in isolation before using the Awakening potion. I'd just stay underground until the dust settles. I'd only surface when his hate is directed at someone else."

"You mean Mia and me?"

Eren said and shook his head. The wood-element ranker he had put under his command was a cunning vixen. He couldn't hate her for not putting herself in the face of danger willingly.

Lagartha then proceeded to tell Eren about everything related to Gian. he knew it was only a matter of time before the guy came looking for him.

Gian was an Awakened rank berserker who was in the last stage of the liquid phase. Eren had fought with Bulal Blood at one point. So he wasn't really scared of someone like Gian. He would prefer if his potential enemy did not jump on him because he was unprepared.

Lagartha then told Eren about the lead she had regarding the Hexers' testing grounds. After she finished speaking, Eren dispersed the fire domain and welcomed the rays of dawn onto his body.

Lagartha and Eren nodded at each other before the former disappeared from her position. She didn't want to be seen with Eren now that they had come to an arrangement.

Of course, the duo would stay in touch with the mental connection they had established through Eren's soul mark. Eren had decided that he would keep his connection with Lagartha a secret until the guild wars. That way, hie mole's cover wouldn't be jeopardized.
