Anastasia was amazed. To feel something like this from a mortal, at the first stage, at that? Even in her wildest dreams, she hadn't imagined it.
Everything about Christian was already out of the ordinary. But, she had thought she had seen everything he was capable of. That time when his strength rose to an impossible level, she believed he would never be able to surprise her again. Yet this time… she was far more shocked than before.
A special ability… he had just asked her about it earlier, and now he was obtaining one.
If it had been an ordinary special ability, she wouldn't have cared, let alone be surprised.
But the one he gained… was valuable enough for even someone of her stature to feel tempted.
Her gaze sharpened, as if she wanted to dissect him on the spot, to uncover how this was even possible.
Yet, she didn't move.
Despite her burning curiosity, aside from observing and sensing with her eyes, Anastasia didn't attempt to probe him with her power at all.
