Tave had finally reached level 20. A significant milestone that left him only a breath away from breaking into level 21. And once he crossed that threshold, he would ascend to the revered stage of a Gaia Guardian. It was no small step. It was a transformation.
For a Gaia Awakener, reaching the Gaia Guardian stage was nothing short of extraordinary. It meant unlocking the ability to channel Gaia Force as elemental magic, not just internally, but outside the body. With that, came a whole new tier of abilities, rare and powerful. Reaching this stage didn't just elevate one's strength. It could multiply it exponentially, and change the balance of power entirely.
