While Nero was resting, taking his time to unwind after everything that had happened, he had no idea that a powerful change was quietly taking place within his body.
It had happened almost immediately after he had slashed the possessed Barak.
The moment his blade severed the connection between the corpse and Leviathan, something unexpected had occurred.
Just like when Nero killed monsters and absorbed their essence, allowing that energy to flow into his inner world and shatter the black chains sealing his stars, the same phenomenon had happened again.
Only this time…
It was on an entirely different scale.
The energy that had entered his body after injuring the vessel of the Sin of Envy was terrifying.
It was roughly twenty times greater than the energy Nero would normally obtain from an ordinary monster.
That alone was proof of how dangerous an owner of Sin truly was.
The moment the violent energy entered Nero's inner world, it completely ignored the fifth star.
