Chapter 83: A dense gathering of mana (2/2)

Yman scratched his face in dismay, ”Shall we take a break first?”

He was puzzled. Seems like, his guess was wrong after all.

The area where they are at the moment has a size of 10 square meters and the ceiling was about 20 meters high from the ground. It was also illuminated by the radiance coming from the crystalline.

Anyhow, there was only one exit, and that was the entrance on their back where they used to enter.

He was checking their whereabouts and put a red 'X' mark on the dead-end alleyways. While he was busy fiddling on his Floating Map, ”Yman, what is this?!” He heard Almina's question.

Yman saw her and Maena fixedly staring something on the ground while hugging their knees. On the other hand, Mercenary Ultima walked towards them, and said with a frown, ”T-That is...” he said with a pause while trying to remember something in his mind.

They both glanced at him and waited for his next words.

”Right it's Iceweeds Cold-Reliever!” He exclaimed when finally able to remember.

Yman's eyes widened and immediately went to them. He went down sitting at the back of his right foot, while his left leg was bent. His left elbow was on top of his left knee; his back slightly curved as he was staring at the weeds on the ground.

|It was really as Mrs. Merced described.| He thought after seeing the object that was lying on the ground. Yman noticed that there were a number of these, scattered around. He didn't notice this at first because his mind was muddled in thinking of how the beast in this place mutated faster.

”Iceweeds Cold-Reliever?” Almina and Maena asked the same questions.

”It is a medicine for cold,” Yman answered.

”Right, Rat Slayer was right,” Mercenary Ultima said while nodding his head.

”Can we take it?” Almina asked.

”Yes, Miss Almina. Actually, it cost a lot and of high demand. We are lucky to find it here,” Mercenary Ultima excitedly said.

Almina gazed on Yman. He didn't answer immediately, rather he picked one and lifted it in front of his eyes.

|A stem of it has three symmetrical mint leaves converge on its tip and constitute a triangular-shape. From stem to the leaves it's covered by a thin layer of cerulean ice.| Yman described the weeds in his mind based on how he saw it.

Yman felt a ticklish feeling from it when he touched it. It was chilly and felt like a breeze of wind caressed his skin. This was a familiar feeling that he usually felt whenever he was channeling mana.

”Yman?” Almina who was beside him muttered his name when she noticed his face contorted into a frown.

”Weird,” it was the only word departed from his mouth.

”I-Is something wrong?” Almina asked.

”It seemed like — this ice was made from mana,” he replied.

Almina and Maena also picked one, ”Right, this is made of mana,” Maena said in surprise.

”Mhm,” Almina agreed.

”Eh? Is it true?” Mercenary Ultima asked.

He knew about these weeds but only now that he saw it in person. So he too had no idea about it.

Yman and Almina nodded their heads at him while Maena took off the white glove on her hand. Then her naked jade-like hand tapped the ground.

They saw her summoning a bit of her greenish mana. She closed her eyes then a moment later, they noticed her brow twitched.

”There is a dense gathering of mana, and it was coming from... that.... wall?” She said as she opened her eyes and pointed on the wall in her left side which was in front of Yman and Almina, and at the right side of Mercenary Ultima.

Yman briefly glanced at the Floating Map, then he noticed that in the map outline that part of the wall was having a thinner line than the rest.

He pointed his hand on the ground then summoned a bit of white glow on his hand, trying to sense the mana like what Maena did. This was his channeling talent at work, it enabled him to percieve the flow of mana.

Unlike the real magician who had the access of internal and external mana, a False Magician like him could only sense mana externally but in a much wider range, as long as he used his channeling talent.

A moment later, Yman gawked in disbelief, there was truly a dense gathering of mana behind that wall. Not just dense, but super dense. A moment later, he felt a vibration on the ground.

”Enemies!” He warned.
