Chapter 1038: Mana Reserves
Inside the underground laboratory, the number of participants was quickly dwindling in numbers.
In the beginning, there were about two hundred of them, including their close friends and family members, but now, only a couple of dozen remained.
Adam had been contiously supplying mana to the teleportation portal, and swifty transporting the Magi to his underground vault in Saratoga.
If not for his vast mana reserves—thanks to forming a familiar bond with Valerian—he would have long since run out of energy.
But still, having to activate the teleportation portal for an extended period of time was depleting his mana at a very quick rate.
It had to be known that the teleportation portal was a result of the Rank 4 Spell: Dimensional Door. Thus, the mana consumption for its continued activation was enormous.
Yet, it had to be done.
The safety of these contestants took precedence above all else. Perhaps... even his own well-being.
As the young Magi, all of them showing a mixture of concern and gratitude on their faces, continued to be drowned by the resplendent light of the teleportation portal, Adam couldn’t help but wonder:
Since when did I start putting others’ lives before mine?
This was a sudden relization that startled him greatly. Unbeknownst to him, it had sort of become a his life’s mission to deliver these Magi to safety.
Would the old Adam ever do such a thing?
