Legendary Traveler: By Earning Progress Points I will Become Supreme!-Chapter 261: Breaking The Seal (3)
Seeing that Aoni could now basically wield his Ice Energia freely, Anthony could only respond in kind. Thus, a short sparing match transpired in the chambers leading to the treasury…as for the result…
"Huff huff, fucking hell Ant, you say that I'm the one who doesn't understand what moderation means, huff huff."
"GAOOO GAOOOO OooOoOO"
{'AN DA WINS GOESESES TO BIGGER BRODDER!'}
Making a spectacle of the fact that her Lord couldn't move, Glacia bounced up and down before running to Anthony and raising his hand like some type of grand champion.
*Only worked cause he, too, was on the ground*
"Oi… Glacia, you're supposed to be on my side, not his…" Aoni groaned, too tired to complain further.

After checking in on Nyria to ensure things were alright, Aoni was confused to find there hadn't been a tide that evening. Yet when he brought it up to Anthony, his eldest brother shrugged it off and claimed it was a side effect of him being there.
Apparently, he'd done the equivalent of "Scent-Marking" by leaving behind a hint of his Energia Signature. With it being so much more powerful than anything else that could enter the Territory, the Signature acted as a deterrent, leaving Nyria rather bored as she tidied up around the Cavern and scoured the area for new trinkets.
With Nyria pacified and Glacia fed, Ant and Aoni set up small camping tents and went to bed shortly after.

Day 2:
Waking up bright and early in the morning, the first thing Aoni did was scope out the surrounding area containing the Palace to check for enemies.
Once sure there weren't any threats around, he headed through the winding corridors and never-ending staircases to return to the stone door and got back to work.
Unfortunately, his first roadblock was the needle halting, aka the Tracker, being stuck at 70%.
Part of the way through the previous day's siphoning session, Aoni noticed that he was no longer gaining full percentages in the same window of time, meaning that although he was drawing in an identical amount of Energia from the Formation, it wasn't enough to continue pushing his advancement ahead.
At a glance, that shouldn't be much of a problem because if there was one thing Aoni had on his hands, it was time; however, his Passive List would prove otherwise.

'Shit, the only thing I have left to boost would be my stats…but with how it always kicked the hell out of me physically and mentally, and there are no guarantees that breaking their limits won't draw a physical reaction from my body, I've been avoiding it.'
'One thing's for sure, even if it doesn't, there is ZERO chance that I spam boost upgrading my Stats; breaking their limits is one thing, but the last thing I wanna do is have Anthony on my ass about why I am practically dying after being dismembered and destroyed a billion different ways.'
Glancing around the room and noticing that Anthony was playing tag with Glacia, Aoni moved his jaw side to side indecisively before throwing caution to the wind and distributing the siphoned Energia toward his Attack, Defense, and Speed Stats one at a time.
'Okay, first up, Attack…go ahead and allocate a portion of the Resource to Break its Limits.'

*ting ching ting ting C…cra…crack..ting ting ting.*
Not even a second after giving that command, Aoni could have sworn he heard the sound of chains shaking, followed by a shattering sound, causing him to close his eyes and search out the source.
However, no matter how deeply he looked internally through the use of Energia Manipulation, there were no chains, and the sound vanished as quickly as it had been heard.
'What the hell was that…' Opening his eyes with a curious look on his face, Aoni scrolled through the previous messages displayed on his Attribute Notice and found no mention of what happened.
'Don't tell me this whole "breaking limits" thing is, in the literal sense, like there's some kind of restraint placed on my body or something…'
| The Host should leave this thinking behind; there is no point in attempting to learn something they will not be ready for any time soon |
'Well, THAT'S totally not ominous or anything...'
| The Host needn't worry about things of such nature as they are far beyond the scope of their understanding; for now, it is advised that the host be content with the fact that there was no physical tribulation when Shattering their Natural limitations, as there is when increasing Ranks |
'…yeah you right, carry on, Defense Next.' Feeling his blood pressure rising, and as if he'd dodged a bullet, Aoni quickly went through the motions of breaking the limits of his remaining two stats, Defense and Speed, before sighing heavily.'
'Fucking Star didn't change, still stuck at Outer fill…damn it, I guess the only way for me to reach my Third Star is to Rank up all my Stats to their limit…wait…Dum Aoni, you're Energia Stat is still at D-, I can limit break that too.'

"Holy shit…that actually worked…"
"Hm? What worked?" Ant asked suddenly, appearing beside Aoni with Glacia in his arms. He looked down at his brother with a curious expression.
"Uh…um…Hey, look, a distraction!" Thinking on his toes, Aoni quickly pointed in the distance, catching not only Glacia slipping, *bless her innocent lil heart* but also Anthony, who wasn't expecting his brother to say something so out of the blue.
'Quickly Rank up My Energia to D+; it's the only stat that doesn't hurt me when upgrading.'
