Chapter 19
"What was that? What did you do? You’ve gained so much mana capacity in just a few minutes! Is that permanent?" Mary shouted at Karl, seeing he appeared to have survived.
Karl took a moment to take inventory of his body, searching for damages and changes. "Looks like it stretched the mana veins and cleared a couple of blockages." He started. "Feels like there’s some residual change to my body itself too, like it’s been refined in a way? It’s hard to explain."
Me and Mary both had to wonder at this, but in different ways. I for one, know nothing about mana veins, but the concept of refining the body at least makes a little sense. "You mean like the first time a Lycan shifts? How it clears out lingering damage, illness and replaces scar tissue with healthy?"
"Yeah, like that. Though not on as large of a scale. But more than the minimal healing when you usually shift. Are you willing to do an experiment Kat? I wonder what will happen if you eat one of these in human form then shift?"
Has Karl gone totally insane? Running human experiments on site in a portal?
"Are you nuts? What if something goes wrong? And why would you do it here of all places?"
"If we bring it back to the base, what will happen? The mages will want to study it for years, then study the phenomenon on mages for years, then they’ll involve the Lycan council and there will be ethics concerns, and demands it be tried on other races first instead of Lycans, and you see where this is going."
I do see. If this can help me, like I can feel it’s boosted Karl’s power, it’s a HUGE find. World changing level huge.
"Are you sure you can draw the mana out if it starts to get dangerous?" Both Mary and Karl nodded at this.
