Chapter 488
The power of Mana Reinforcement, refined to its extreme, did not result in mana emission.
Initially, when someone performs Mana Reinforcement, their body would be enveloped in a blue aura. This was merely a kind of phenomenon created by incomplete combustion of mana, a result of mana that was not properly condensed being released externally. Therefore, proper Mana Reinforcement did not result in the emission of power.
Complete Mana Reinforcement... I had succeeded in taking the first step toward it. Although I could only do it with a very small portion of my mana, I was able to compress that power to its limit in a state of calm and tranquility, achieving an extremely refined form of Mana Reinforcement without any emission of power.
“I thought you might have been caught up in some strange fantasy when you said you were meditating, but it seems you’ve achieved something,” Luna said with a slight smile, as if she had read something in my eyes despite my silence.
Strictly speaking, neither Luna nor Ronan had taught me anything. It was Arta who had thrown hints my way.
“Give it a go,” she said.
Knowing what I had to do, I immediately used Mana Reinforcement.
I focused on using just a very small portion of my mana. I focused not on the release of strong power, but on the feeling of transmitting my mental state into the flow of mana coursing through my body.
It felt like I was expressing my tranquil mental state through my entire body.
There was no visible change, but a sense of exhilaration from the circulation of mana enveloped my entire body. Although the output was certainly weaker than when I exerted my full strength, there was a definite sense that I had achieved maximum efficiency.
Luna quietly observed me as I succeeded in achieving this Mana Reinforcement that had been refined to its extreme. And then, still looking at me, Luna placed her thumb and middle finger together, and brought them to my forehead.
