Chapter 340: 15 year old Inglis and the Prisma Battle (18)
「Well then…」
Said Black Mask as he touched Inglis' shoulder. The Ether surrounding Black Mask's body had been adjusted to match the same wavelength and hue as Inglis'. As a result, Inglis could sense that his Ether was permeating her body, replenishing her depleted reserves of Ether at a rapid pace.
In a matter of moments, Inglis' Ether was restored to a nearly perfect state. Despite Black Mask's assertion that he was not in top form, Inglis regained almost all of her strength after receiving his Ether. This suggested that the magnitude of Inglis' Ether was not on par with Black Mask's, but rather significantly less.1
The disparity in strength between the two wasn't solely determined by the quantity of Ether or the determination to keep fighting. What Inglis learned from this experience was that she still had much to improve upon and could benefit from having an opponent to strive towards.
「Hm. This will be enough…」
Said Black Mask as the Ether's radiance dissipated from his body.
「How impressive. Even though you claimed to not be in top condition, you've filled me up almost completely.」
「I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you. I'm near my limit and won't be able to supply you with Ether again.」
「Of course, I understand. Thank you very much! I will repay this debt on another battlefield!」
