For a whole week, Atlas kept himself in shape and continued to train his aura without eating except to do his toilet work.
During this process, he was able to experience an astonishing 4% increase in aura energy. Obviously, he was more skilful with aura than magic, and this was a very pleasing situation. Perhaps in just six months he would be able to increase the level of his aura to three.
It was possible that he would be able to achieve this even before he created the fifth magic ring.
After taking a shower to clean himself and finally eating one of the sandwiches he had taken out of his inventory, he left his room and then met River standing right outside his room.
It was midday, the sun was high in the sky and today, despite the cold of the north, the weather was clear, cloudless and showing the sun in full.
The smile and glimmer of hope on River's face surely told Atlas that the time had come. He was already aware that a week had passed.
