The pearl-like object that Julian had just consumed was a secret item he received from the Nephilim. It was a gift bestowed from a special someone who took notice of his talent.
The truth was, he had been keeping it a secret for a special moment, preferably to use during the upcoming tournament. However, he knew that he had to care about the present before worrying about the future he might not be able to reach.
Nevertheless, Julian, even though he had somewhat expected its effect to be potent, was still surprised when he felt a wonderful sensation rapidly spread throughout his body upon the consumption.
It was an exhilarating feeling of seemingly owning an absolute power. The item had elevated his battle power and spiritual force into a whole new level altogether.
