After some time, Asher opened his eyes. A dark green light—thick and sickly—flashed within them, flickering like a phantom flame.
He had gained 3% comprehension of the Corruption Law now.
Across from him, Valeris stirred as well. She blinked slowly, then gave a small sigh. She had only absorbed two crystals, so her gain was naturally less.
"You done?" she asked, glancing his way.
"Yes," Asher replied, his voice low with mild disgust. "And it's pathetically weak."
Valeris tilted her head, amused. "What, expecting it to rival your Supreme Law of Death?"
He let out a short breath, not quite a sigh. "It barely scratches it. At most, it adds 30% of the force my Death Law already exerts. And that's being generous."
Valeris nodded thoughtfully. "Makes sense. A minor Law can't compete with a Supreme one, even if you master it."
