Ch 523 additions (Patreon)

derp, i'm an idiot and totally forgot that I wanted this to happen at the end of the Tyrant fight. Italics for additions.**Moment of Flow has reached level 231 > 238!**

…

**Brotherhood of Ichor and Animus has reached level 221 > 229!**

**Ding! Growth Weapon - A Father’s Gift has been sufficiently tempered! Provide a compatible Tier II (Epic) material to initiate advancement!**

Kaius sucked in a breath, shocked at the level of growth the single fight had brought him. Eight levels. For a creature that was only a bare twenty or so higher than him. The additional experience the System had mentioned for fighting an Essence user must have been substantial.

His skills too — they’d grown almost as much as they had in the entire week of the siege.

There was one thing more important than that mundane growth, though. A Father’s Gift pulsed in satisfaction on his hip, a phantom of almost-hunger awakened within it. His blade was ready. That, more than anything was a boon. 

Finding a material it liked would be more of an issue. An Epic would be tough to find alone, and he knew his sword wouldn’t accept just anything — it had to fit with what his weapon had already absorbed into its being. He’d hoped he might find something worthwhile from the Tyrant, but not even the material Kenva had hidden away at the end of their fight had spurred a reaction. 

He’d find something — even if he had to Delve for it. Regardless, he couldn’t just pull something else out of thin air now, and he still had more notifications.

The Honour he was less surprised by. If anything, he would have been shocked not to receive one for besting a challenge the System had directly named during the progression of the Integration phase.
