Chapter 418: Absorption

One of the flowers drifted over to me and I picked it up, sniffing it a little. I could feel the throbbing mana inside flowing into me, restoring my strength considerably.

I was right. Miura had a tremendous amount of mana, despite having expended a significant amount of it during our battle. It was more than enough to replenish my own exhausted reserves and last me for another couple of rounds.

"Thanks, I really appreciate it."

I watched as the flower faded away atop my palm, slowly disappearing into the night, and closed my eyes briefly.

"It isn't fair…to think that you were hiding something this amazing…"
