The grain that appeared in the core of my Anima Depth was smaller than a grain of sand. It was the first speck of crystalline Anima, and despite the pain, I understood what this meant with the first hint of the Arcanist tier.
If I were not in serious pain, I would be shocked, even after I had experienced this insane growth three times already… but Demon Slayer was allowing me to grow faster the stronger I became, instead of the opposite.
Usually, growth should stall when you get stronger, but in my case, it was different. However, I knew that I had paid for this growth in pain and lives, and so I was not too against it.
With the presence of the crystal of Anima inside my Anima Depth, the unreasonable pressure finally had an outlet as it drew the massive amount of Anima into it, and yet the size of the grain did not change; I could feel that it was growing denser.
