Re: Legendary Berserker’s Advent - Chapter 198

The first thought that came to mind when analyzing Scar’s usage of Crimson Current was the size of the wave.

Although Scar didn’t add or subtract anything from what Kieran supplied to the skill, the tide seemed three times smaller than when he released it.

However, that size difference was temporary. Once the current touched the floor, it expanded faster than Kieran could comprehend, regaining its former yet somehow improved glory.

‘The force of the current was like getting hit with a wrecking ball unexpectedly. Furthermore, rather than fixate on hitting me with the first attack, Scar turned it into an attack that gained extra momentum.

From Kieran’s perspective, he felt Scar fused the principle of Seethe Burst with Crimson Current because the rapid explosion of momentum was eerily similar to when the blood coating erupted.

However, Kieran also felt there was more to it than just drawing inspiration from another skill. The fact Scar took control of his vitality, which should be unique to his body, meant Blood Mania didn’t stop at mastering one’s vitality.

There was a difference between absorbing ambient vitality to heal and claiming the vitality embedded in an active attack to redirect it.

‘It was only for a moment, and it was before he grabbed ahold of my attack, but I sensed the threat of death. However, it was so fleeting, lasting no more than a split second, that Retaliatory Sense couldn’t activate.’

Scar looked at Kieran’s pensive expression and smiled. He could tell from Kieran’s rapid eye movements that he was racking his brain to find an explanation and possibly a solution.

‘Perhaps I should help the young boy. It feels as if he needs a small push,’ Scar thought..

He crossed his arms and cleared his throat. “I’ll give you some advice. When restoring your vigor, experience the sensation with your entire being. To understand your power, understand your body. Focus on your heart. It is the crux of our power. The moment our heart falters is the moment our power ceases.”

‘Focus on my heart,’ Kieran mused. He closed his eyes and applied his Perception to its fullest extent. Kieran soon felt as if his body tingled unusually. He could feel the blood flowing through his veins with every heartbeat.
