Chapter 244: Mana Parasite
"Damnit! Work you stupid thing!" Troy growled, rubbing his palms which were now cold. To get some friction and heat, with hope of restoring some of his mana.
"It’s alright, I promise you’ll be safe." Troy vowed with a determined expression, but his heart said otherwise.
His accumulation of mana had long stopped, during his 30th or so stabilization process. Thanks to Lumia, he was able to continue with balancing the mana in the citizens core.
But not without paying a price of sacrificing his own core and body to the exposure of the wild mana. Which he didn’t mind, taking full responsibility.
But unfortunately, Lumia was also pulled into the circus. And now she was fighting for her life, trying to balance her core with zero mana.
"You mentioned he can’t stabilize her core because of his mana is already corroded right?" Kyle abruptly asked, bewildering snow.
[Yes?]
"So that means it has to be done by another person without direct exposure to the wild mana inhabiting their cores." He theorized, his brain calculating different possibilities.
[You’re right. Since their cores are already highly under the influence of the unpredictable switch up, it would require a fresh stabilized core to balance theirs.] Snow explained to which Kyle nodded, stepping out.
[Wait, don’t tell me you’re actually thinking of balancing their cores?] Snow grumbled with a distinct frown, clearly not in approval of Kyle’s decision.
"I’ve made up my mind." He stated not going back in his words, closing the distance between Troy and Lumia.
His eyes clashing with the ruthless king, darting a wary questioning glare at him. Slowly crouching down, he didn’t exchange words with the king. His gaze instead shifted to the struggling Lumia.
