Chapter 25-1

Mana Absorption.

It was the basic ability of Exceed Rain and a power that symbolized the darkness attribute.

If it was artificially manipulated mana, it could become nourishment for Exceed Rain.

Naturally formed mana could not be interfered with, but magic implemented by humans or Monsters is quickly disintegrated and absorbed as it is.

However, just as darkness disappears wherever light touches, the mana composed of sacred Magic could not be taken away.

Its good, but if youre not prepared, youll end up being used instead.

Exceed Rain also had inherent abilities of mental domination and mana erosion, along with Mana Absorption.

Mental domination stimulates the users desires, and evil intentions, while mana erosion forcibly assimilates the users mana exclusively for Exceed Rain.

In other words, as the users body and mana pass over to Exceed Rain, they become completely controlled.

In this process, Mana Absorption also becomes a harmful ability.

Usually, the limit of mana is determined by the user, and the body cannot accept more than that.

However, if Exceed Rain dominates the user, even that can be controlled as desired.

As a result, the users body and mind would be slowly distorted while absorbing excessive mana excessively.

The protagonist isnt very good at using it either.

The protagonist barely managed to subdue Exceed Rain after repeated battles, but couldnt use it as he wanted.

From the beginning, he did not have immunity to Exceed Rains Mental domination and Mana Absorption abilities, so he had to rely on El Tesoicves help to suppress it.

As a result, Exceed Rains power weakened, but as It did not have good compatibility with El Tesoicve, It considered the protagonist an enemy and stubbornly rejected him.

It will be the same in the later stages.

The protagonist acquired the diary left by that person in the later stages of the story.

However, by that time, he was already familiar with El Tesoicve and Nailing, and barely used Exceed Rain.

In the end, he acquired the two immunities as written in the diary, but as he couldnt use Exceed Rain together with El Tesoicve, thus he tried to find a way to seal Exceed Rain.

When they returned to the capital, rumors about it would surely spread widely.

Dont you have any secrets you want to hide?

I dont have anything like that.

Really? You seem like you do.

Do you think Im like you?

Well, if you say you dont have any, then you dont. I dont believe you though.

Sion lightly joked to ease the tension.

If they felt any pressure, they would psychologically weaken and the fear of the enemies would only grow.

Thats why Sion demonstrated the swordsmanship and mana absorption to boost morale.

Dont think about fighting. We are already at an advantage just by holding out like this. If Kelidoss troops come from the south, those guys will have to run away.

W-wouldnt it be better for us to attack first if you can use your swordsmanship? They wont be able to do anything against us.

One of the knights guarding them cautiously spoke up.

Sion was about to respond, but the Captain Guard spoke first.

You idiot! Sion-Nim hopes that no one gets hurt! We dont care if we get injured, but what if Sion-Nim or Miss Hanette gets hurt? Are you going to bring a priest then?

I Im sorry. I didnt think it through.

Hmm The Captain Guard explained everything. Thats the case anyway.

Sion calmly replied, looking at the guards.

As of now, he couldnt use the swordsmanship fully, nor could he engage in close combat.

Therefore, he demonstrated his swordsmanship and mana absorption to leave an impression of strength on both their allies and enemies.

If the enemies were to swarm them, they would have to risk their lives.

Theres no reason to fight. Even if we win, we dont gain anything special. We could get some information by capturing them, but its not a guarantee, and even if we do, they might not talk.

-Continues!
