Chapter 85: Magic structure and the outcome (1/2)

This thing! Yman picked one of the Iceweeds Cold-Reliever. He pinched to discard the ice. With his strength, it turned into powder in no time. He then blew to get rid of it.

Staring at the bare weed on his palm, he narrowed his eyes then used his channeling ability onto it. Yman was surprised at the result. A fluctuation of mana emitted on his hand.

A cursor was summoned on the tip of his finger. Unhurriedly, he pointed it on the weed. Without a lag, a screen section with twelve inches height and 6 inches width appeared in the air in front of his face.

What written on it was a list of data concerning the weed:

[Weed Lunaria]

•Magical weed.

•Rich in mana.

•Grow in places with direct moonlight and in places with an abundance of mana.

•For medicine purposes.

...

Such information was listed in it together with the other related data.

”Looks like this is not a simple weed, but a magical weed. And the reason why this weed coated by ice is the ice was trying to absorb mana from it. For this weed to grow here, this place might be rich in mana, and that mana source was no other than the ice itself. The weed and ice are seemingly in a 'give and take' relationship or 'friends with benefit' or something like that, but in a weird way,” Yman muttered in surprise.

Sistela stated.

”Mhm...”

He agreed to Sistela, There was no way a massive amount of ice would appear here. In the first place, it was weird that this ice did not melt. Could it be the caster was... behind this wall too?

He was taken aback at this thought.

Thinking about it, when he first saw the camouflage cloth on the hole, he had a suspicion that something was amiss in this place.

”Regardless, it's difficult for us to lift this wall,” Yman said in dismay.

He glanced at his comrades. Most of them were breathing heavily, yet the number of monsters did not decrease. They keep on coming from who knows where.

”Hmm, looking at it is, I think no one can do it at the current state. This wall is not ordinary. Rather than that, everyone is exhausted.”

Sistela fell silent.

Yman squinted his eyes around him as he fell into thinking...

Could it be a preset trap? To trap someone who was trying to come here. Whoever did this must be hiding something behind this wall. Or he/she itself must be hiding behind this wall.

The place and the ice were rather suspicious to him.

How come a thing that materialized through mana able to absorb another mana? It was as if — the same as my channeling ability. Eh? Right! Why I just realized it. Damn it!

Yman thought with a grin.

Sistela worriedly told him.

Yman made a quick glance at the back and saw the unfavorable situation. Almina and the rest had received bruises. Their bodies were covered by blood from the monsters and a little of their own.

He felt a little regret for bringing them here together with him. Never did he imagine that the situation would become as dangerous as this.

He shook his head slightly to get rid of the unnecessary thoughts for his current situation. No matter what happened he must do his part.

He bit his lips and focused his mind. If ever he failed on it, he would activate his Black Mana and force his way for them to escape this place, even if there was 20 or 10% or lesser chance of escaping alive.

Sistela wanted to ask him, but when she noticed his concentration she quietened.

”Let me try something first,” he said.

He tapped the wall without using Sistela's mana. Yman's brows twitched because of the coldness of the wall. The cold was biting him and his hand immediately turned numb.

However, he had to endure.

A moment later, he activates his channeling talent. His hand immediately glowed. As long as he had direct contact on the mana, Yman believed he could modify it using his channeling ability.

Sistela was surprised to see his partner's hands were deliberately glowing.

|I was right!| He exclaimed in his mind. It was his first time doing it to the mana owned by someone else beside him and Sistela. It seemed his channeling talent could actually be activated as long as he had a contact on it.

He was able to connect to the flow of mana on the wall. The coldness that he felt a while ago had finally eased.

Before getting drowned to his excitement, the next step he must do is to alter the construction of magic.

However, something unexpected happened.

His hands further glowed in a more blinding brilliance of silver.

Almina and the rest felt a strong fluctuation of mana behind them. They sneak a glance and gape at what their eyes were seeing. Yman's hands were enveloped by blinding brilliance.

Yman struggled to maintain his bearings. The massive surge of mana was trying to devour him.

Tsk, it was trying to go against my will. Whoever was controlling this magic... must be a renown magician!

He shouted in his mind.

Sistela's warned.

”Is it affecting the resonance?!”

”Tsk,” He clicked his tongue while trying to brawl the unrestrained mana.

Damn it, stupid brain! Think, think think...

Yman curses and chants the words repeatedly.
