The Limit

"Haah…"

Letting out a long exhale, Valyr slowly opened his eyes sometime after feeling he'd absorbed all of the Mystic Energy in the surroundings.

Giving his eyes the time it needed to acclimate to the light once more, it was only after a while did he stand up before looking at Marcus to ask him a question.

"How much time has passed since I started absorbing Mystic Energy?"

"Hmm…" Glancing at the sky above them, the man made a few gestures with his hands before looking back at Valyr with a calm expression. "Like four hours or so."

"Really?" Valyr's eyes slightly widened in surprise, feeling like he'd been immersed in that state for far longer than four hours. "It felt like half a day passed to me."

"That's what usually happens when you're absorbing Mystic Energy," said Mystia in response to Valyr's words, prompting the latter to look in her direction. "I'm sure you've felt a sense of relief while absorbing Mystic Energy."
