Son of the Hero King

Chapter 597: Second Letter

Chapter 597: Second Letter

When Sol awakened, he found himself deep in a crater, energy swirling around him and constantly filling his body while being purified. His energy reserve, and his mana veins were all growing at tremendous speed but most of this energy was diverted toward his body, causing it to grow even more monstrous than it was.

In the past, thanks to the dragon blood, his resilience had been somewhat equal to that of a weak king but this only meant that he had been a good punching bag.

Now though, the feeling of power that was coursing through his entire body gave him the impression that he could fold a King in half if that one was not careful.

Damnit. Not now.

But the changes did not stop there. All this time, he had been stopping his realm from increasing and reaching the level of King. He had no intention of simply becoming a normal King-ranked being.

Now though, it seemed like he had absorbed too much energy and could not stop the process. Already a new name was forming in his mind and trying to overwrite the letter he had previously formed when contracting Milia.

That name was only halfway created but Sol knew what it represented, ‘Invic’Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

The name whispered sweet promises of power and victory to his mind. Invictus. Ever victorious. Never defeated. Unconquered.

The synergy he had with this name was incredible and unlike Hyperion, the previous Name he had rejected, this one here had truly great potential and could have allowed him to become a top-ranked King without any problem.

Sol Invictus.

This would be perfect for him and his situation and this thought made him hesitate. For one very short instant, he wondered if he should stop chasing after a wild dream with low probability and settle for this incredible power.

But in the end, Sol fought against the temptation and buried the feeling of hesitation deep into his stomach.

Crack~!!

This time, the name completely dimmed and was broken into thousands of pieces. Causing Sol’s eyes to roll over as his consciousness threatened to collapse. But Sol bit his tongue and forced himself awake.

He could black out later. Now though he had work to do.

Focusing, on the broken shards of Invictus's name Sol started gathering them and pouring them toward the letter “D” that had been on the verge of destruction. Invictus contained the legend of the Unconquered Sun and ever-victorious god. There was no way he was going to give up on those concepts as they would perfectly fit what he wished to accomplish.

What he was doing at the moment was something that should have been impossible but Sol felt like the law fragments were like docile sheep in his control and they followed his order. Perhaps this was a result of creating a perfect cycle with the seven chakras. It did not matter. What mattered thought was that the letter D started swallowing the law fragments greedily and shone brighter.

He could feel the wounds he had caused on his soul heal at a faster pace than he would have anticipated until no pain even remained and his aura continued to grow.

This wasn’t all, the control he had over his dimension increased greatly and extended to more than 500 meters square now and it was still growing.

He did not know how much longer he stayed like this. Perhaps an hour, perhaps two? It was hard to say.

When he opened his eyes, Sol realized that he was completely different from the inside out. His power had skyrocketed and he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that the current him could easily toy with his previous self.

All those changes were startling and even exciting but for Sol, the greatest and most important change was in his sea of consciousness.

After all, a second letter had formed and it was “E”
