Seraphina Sullivan stared at the remaining Power Apples in her hand, an eager impulse surging within her.
’Since one had such a great Effect, eating another one should be fine, right?’
She hesitated for a moment but couldn’t resist the temptation. She took out another glistening green fruit and took a bite.
After she swallowed the second apple, the warm current was even more turbulent than before.
Seraphina could clearly feel her muscle fibers reorganizing and her bone density increasing. It was as if her entire body had been infused with limitless Power.
She tried lifting the table inside the RV with one hand and did it effortlessly!
It felt as light as a styrofoam board.
’This is amazing...’ Seraphina was thrilled. As if possessed, she picked up a third one.
However, shortly after she finished the third apple, something strange and sudden happened.
Seraphina suddenly felt an abnormal sense of expansion from within her body. It wasn’t the fullness of being overstuffed, but rather the feeling that every cell was being forcibly charged with Energy, on the verge of bursting.
The sensation was instantly followed by a wave of pain.
"Ugh..." She doubled over in pain, cold sweat beading on her forehead.
Her Power was indeed growing wildly, but her body was starting to send out dangerous signals.
Veins bulged under her skin, her muscles twitched uncontrollably, and even breathing became difficult.
’What in the world is happening?’ Seraphina thought, struggling to endure the discomfort. ’Is it because my body can’t keep up with the explosive surge in Power?’
She suddenly remembered the Item Identification mentioning that a person could only withstand the transformation from a maximum of five Power Apples.
She was already having an adverse reaction after only her third, which clearly meant she had consumed too many in a short period, and her body hadn’t had time to adapt.
’I can’t eat any more...’ Gritting her teeth, Seraphina returned all the remaining apples to her Space.
Although she could theoretically eat two more, she had to wait until her body had fully assimilated her current Power before continuing.
The pain came on quickly, but it also faded just as fast.
Forcing herself to stand up, she began doing simple stretches inside the RV, trying to help her body adapt to this explosive new Power.
She was careful with every movement, afraid she might accidentally wreck the RV if she used too much force. With her current Power, that was no joke.
The Effect of three Power Apples was truly astonishing.
Seraphina tested it out. She could now easily lift at least 200 kilograms with one hand and leave a clear fist print on a steel plate with a single punch.
Even more impressively, her explosive strength had increased several times over. A light leap could send her more than three meters into the air.
’This Power... it’s insane.’ Seraphina looked at her fist, both excited and terrified.
’I’ve practically developed Monster Power!’
’I can’t imagine how terrifying my Power would be if I kept eating them.’
She decided to train hard and only consider taking the fourth apple after she had gained full Control over her current Power.
As for now...
Seraphina glanced at the lightening sky outside. She stretched her limbs, and her joints let out a series of crisp CRACK sounds.
"I think I’ll go out and use some real combat to get used to my new Power."
Seraphina muttered to herself, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
’I can’t sleep anyway. Besides, Flora is still digesting the [Poisonous Fang]. Who knows if she’ll be starving again when she wakes up.’
Thinking of Flora’s astonishing appetite, Seraphina couldn’t help but sigh. ’Judging by Flora’s appetite, I’ll have to stockpile a lot more supplies from now on.’
Seraphina felt that her need for food would only increase in the future.
’Yup, I’ll have to put Flora to work when she wakes up.’
