As for the other flow state—Overload, it was kind of the opposite of Overdrive in how it worked, and it required even higher control of Mana than in Overdrive.
In simple terms, it was basically chugging a Mana potion while still having full Mana in one’s Mana pool.
With exceedingly excess Mana in one’s Mana pool, the mana would become volatile, and it could severely injure them as well.
But as long as one retained control, the Mana would turn violet from blue, increasing in potency by 100%!
Suppose Almond had a capacity of 5000 mana, and he added 5000 More before trying to enter Flow State—Overload and even succeeded.
That would make his skills and whatever moves he used that consumed this 10,000 violet and violently potent Mana in his Mana pool extremely powerful!
Overdrive strained one’s body, making them exhausted after usage, and requiring 24 hours before using it again.
Meanwhile, using Overload strained one’s Mana pool, nullifying external Mana recovery for a few hours and requiring 24 hours of break before using it again.
Admiral Rudra was most proficient in these Flow States, but even he couldn’t use both at the same time and after one flow State, he needed at least an hour before using the other flow state.
…
After thinking, Almond decided to use Wind Elemental Crystal in the Revelation Pavilion.
Five hours passed by in the blink of an eye, and Almond opened his eyes with a cyan-green aura whirling around him.
‘Damn, I knew I had a bit of affinity with Wind. Not as high as Lighting, but it still reached B-rank directly!’

‘This will make the progress I do in my Lumeir element easier,’ Almond grinned as he looked at his Elemental Imprint. ‘Maybe I might be able to awaken it in the next three hours?’
Almond liked the thought, and he decided to activate his Elemental Imprint as his mind drifted into the dimension of Lumeir.
While Almond was meditating, the Grimworld Tutorial made an announcement about the monthly event.
Everyone got a notification with long lists of every owner of the territories in the Sanctuary Area.
Almond was at the top, numbering third as he successfully acquired the Mountain of Radiant Zenith throne territory.
The number one territory was still ownerless as nobody got a passing score in that.
Many adventurers who returned from the Battlefield started exploring and moving in their territories with new personal [Teleport] functions appearing for Dukedom and Throne-territory owners and higher, while normal teleport for the rest.
The starting phase of the battlefield was mostly about exploring and learning and it was clear that this event was going to be a long-lasting one so there wasn’t any need for any kind of rush unless the situation required it.
The meeting of Admiral Rudra and others in the Pygathor kingdom also revealed what Almond found on his own.
To the northwest was the Pygathor Kingdom, and to the northeast 200 kilometers away was another small Kingdom and many tribes.
However, one bombshell dropped in the Battlefield Hub’s hall due to the change in the leaderboard of cumulative Battlefield Points.
[Main Leaderboard]
– Planet Empyradrake: 10,000 Battlefield points.
– Planet Earth: 1000 Battlefield points.
– Planet Cyberterra: 0 points. Stay tuned with empire
– Planet Eldoren: 0 points.
Planet Empyradrake took the lead with 10,000 Battlefield points as they conquered the Kingdom nearby to their starting territory by warring with them!
Admiral Rudra also suspected that the other two Planets were doing the similar like trying to take control over the kingdoms near their territory, which was why their points were still 0!
Because if they became allies like them, their points would also be 1000 like them.
…
Almond opened his eyes as three hours passed by, and the mystical hazy-golden green wind whirled around him. The particles of wind glittered with light as the Light and Wind elementals were two in one, bringing out new characteristics and potential!

‘Awesome! This element can buff and heal both,’ Almond grinned. ‘This would be the perfect combo with my Golden Haze Lightning.’
“Almond, it’s time.”
Lily opened her eyes as she was also done with her training, a radiantly black aura with thin red hazy threads weaving around her as they shaped into daggers.
“Intent!” Almond shouted as he instantly felt the presence of an intent from Lily.
“Yep, It’s an intent of Shadowpierce,” Lily grinned, her eyes glinting excitedly. “Let’s go, darling. The war is on, and I can’t wait to show off.”
Almond laughed and nodded, “Same. Let’s go.”
He saw that others were also there, waiting for him and Lily.
Almond waved his hand, putting his Spirit Wraiths in his pocket and teleporting below with Lily.
“Everyone, it’s time to go!”
