Chapter 1555: So Fucking Glad
Nigerra’s guard had risen like the morning sun. She realised then that unlike Yuyui, Kintar wasn’t someone who could be goaded into a rational conversation. Four of the members of the Order of the Trodden Rose were already dead, and just because they exercised a bit of the ol’ moxy against Kintar.
Indeed, there was no way to reason with such a monster.
Even if this feat only proved to Nigerra that having Kintar join them would be a great boon, she couldn’t forgive so many of her sisters being killed just like that. Thus, her eyes, both spotting arrows within them in place of their pupils and irises, charged with mana as she prepared to attack.
...That was a mistake.
Most of Kintar’s opponents had this delusion that they could utilise mana-based, Aura-based or even Nitros-based attacks without her knowledge.
It might have been possible against Kintar while she was in her Limited Mythos Form, but now... It was simply impossible.
The Unlimited Star’s eye fell on Nigerra before she even made her mana stream to her Eye of Moving. She was unnaturally sensitive.
Kintar had learned, reverse engineered and evolved all the high-level mana manipulation skills Skullius ever had. She’d done it during the Impossible Task, after he’d taught her how all of them worked and gifted them to her.
Copying his utilisation of [Sorcery of Essence], Kintar had developed her Advanced Class – the True Myth Mage – and created a system that allowed her to limit her own powers when she wasn’t using them.
[Sorcery of Essence] composed of two other sub-skills: [Sage Strain] and [Save Sage].
[Sage Save] had allowed Skullius – as Replicus – to boost the mana quantity in his mana cores by 0.0001% every minute he spent without using his internal mana reserves, and [Sage Strain] did the same thing, only, it increased his mana concentration by 0.001%. The boosts Skullius would earn after releasing both skills were frightening.
...Kintar had loved that. Thus, she created her own ability which employed similar mechanics when tied to her Class, the Limited Mythos Form. While using that ability, she would turn smaller and weirder – proportion-wise – and could only access half of her stats, and only a fraction of her total mana reserves.
