Chapter 9: Leveling Up For The First Time
Mana Shards were everything in this world and hunters could use them to advance quickly. However, there was a limit to them as well.
Fighting soul battles with Remnants drained their Soul Energy, meaning they couldn't absorb many Mana Shards of higher level at once.
Not unless they have a way to replenish their soul energy.
There was also the fact that Mana leaked from Mana Shards every single second, so the more time that passed, the more mana would be drained from them.
Many people used this tactic to bring down the Remnants' strength and then absorb the Mana Shards. But it was quite wasteful.
Max had done the same thing, but it was unintentional. He simply didn't have enough time and space to absorb the Mana Shards.
After all, what if some monsters attacked him when he was absorbing the Mana Shards? He would be dead instantly.
So, while it hurt that the mana was lost, he didn't want to take risks.
As he watched the sparks of light merge with the grass field, Max thought, 'Stelle will probably do the same then. Maybe fight when its strength is Level 7 or something.'
The next moment he was thrown out of his soul sea, as everyone called it, and Max looked at his EXP count.
[EXP: 7.5/10]
