A bright light shone in the surrounding area as the sticky black liquid made a sizzling sound, turning into gray ashes.
"Mana burns these things?"
Eryke the Third thought, "Are these things weak to mana?"
Although this discovery wasn’t much helpful to him because he used the spell to attack the shadows, his attention, however, was on the gray ashes.
This was the only thing he felt was helpful to him right now, and he didn’t have any discernible idea on what else could be helpful.
Anyways, as he looked at the ashes, he lifted them in his hand and threw them away.
Nothing happened.
He tried to supply mana to it again, but still, nothing happened, and he was left empty.
He punched the ashes, but still, there was no reaction. He dug a hole in the ground and planted some of it to observe, then left it for a while.
Eryke the Third tried everything he could possibly imagine, but none of them worked. It was just like normal, ordinary ashes, with nothing extraordinary to see.
"What should I do?"
He looked at the spot where he had planted the ashes with a thoughtful frown.
"Maybe I could do something about this."
Nothing had grown out of it, but Eryke just landed a palm on the ground and supplied mana through it.
Although he couldn’t use any other spell now because he already had spells imprinted on his core, still, manipulating mana and even taking it out was within the realm of possibility.
Anyway, as he supplied the glittering blue light to the ground, nothing happened!
Eryke the Third waited patiently, supplying mana but feeling that it was going nowhere. Even after ten minutes, he was slightly discouraged.
Just then, he felt a terrifying suction force that sucked all his mana.
A glint of excitement flickered in his eyes as he started to supply more and more mana into it, one go after another.
The more he did so, the more it sucked in.
Until every bit of mana was drained from his core, Eryke the Third fell to the ground, completely exhausted.
"It’s still not enough?"
Shaking his head, he crossed his legs and started to absorb the mana from the surrounding area.
Mana was everywhere, even this gate or this forest was no exception.
It only took a mere ten minutes before his mana was completely restored.
"Restoring mana is much easier than going further with it."
Eryke the Third mumbled as he supplied again, but this thing—whatever it was—was like a black hole that continuously devoured all the mana he fed into it.
Only in his third refill did he finally feel that the suction force had decreased slightly.
Then, in his fourth attempt to supply mana, it suddenly stopped taking mana.
"Hmm?"
Eryke the Third tilted his head in confusion. Nothing happened!
"Is this a scam—?"
