Chapter 451 - Tamers War - Turning Points - Failed Promise - 2
Moments before... Ren’s POV
Things were going extraordinarily well for Ren’s energy network.
Each healing provided him more power, each infected soldier who touched the roots added energy to the system. He could feel how his capacity grew exponentially, as if he had directly connected with an enormous power source that expanded his consciousness.
Mooshito was ecstatic.
"Incredible, so many golds and high silvers shouldn’t be underestimated!" he communicated with emotion that Ren rarely had felt from the small mushroom. "Practically the entire space covered by the infected is already very close to being trapped in our network!"
His companion’s enthusiasm was contagious. Ren could feel the network extending farther and farther, connecting soldiers he couldn’t even see from here.
"With so much energy in the environment it seems the fungi absorbed more than expected," Mooshito continued, "even rising to Silver right now wouldn’t be impossible if we skip some processes. It would be a bit of an energy waste and a bit slow, but..."
The sentence remained unfinished when Ren suddenly tensed.
Joy completely vanished when the new "nervous" network he had developed gave him much higher perception of the surrounding battlefield.
Through connections he had established, he could see mana and "feel" what was happening within the high-level battle arena with clarity that terrified him.
Selphira and the others were in serious trouble.
