Chapter 58: The Nether Wolf
After Draven was gone, Kael spent his time trying to relax his soul and body, which seemed to have suffered heavily after just one incident.
Once that was done, Alpha informed him of something that Draven had left behind.
[According to this, you can seal the artifact in a Wall of Mana, and then you can touch it or hold it—whatever you want. It won’t be in direct contact with you and also won’t be detectable, so it won’t attract other beings.]
"That’s good," Kael sighed and asked Alpha to transfer the knowledge of how to make the Wall of Mana.
It was much easier than he expected, but it needed precise control over mana, which he certainly had, so he quickly got to work.
Reaching over to the Hand of Nyraxx, Kael stopped his hand just on top of it and let his mana leak into the atmosphere. He felt his connection loosening with that mana as it mixed with the surroundings and tried to retreat to the Astral World, but Kael held on to it.
Once a sufficient amount of mana had leaked out of his body, he compressed and solidified it through his precise control over mana, forming it like a wall around the Hand of Nyraxx.
The wall itself was invisible due to its connection with the Astral World, so it looked as if there was nothing surrounding it.
But this also meant Kael had to regularly check on it and repair the Wall of Mana often. Still, that was nothing compared to what he would be facing otherwise.
Just then, Kiona barged into the room and heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Kael’s healthy complexion. Although she knew nothing would happen to him, the fact that he was alone in an injured state still worried her.
She smiled and said, "The Nether Fortress has been cleared, and we can head over to the Boss room any moment now. Also, I just noticed that our loot disappeared with the reset, so I guess materials that we leave anywhere in the Labyrinth return to it."
