I felt like I was at the bottom of an ocean, literally at the bottom, where the pressure was a thousand times greater. That's what I felt when the wall between me and all that mana in the hall was lifted.
It was surrounding me so intensely that I didn't feel like I could move my body. It was seeping in through every part of my body, even trying to force its way into my own mana flow. Not only that, it was reaching even further inside. It was making its way into my organs, into my blood vessels, and more.
It was like... it was trying to tear my body apart from the inside.
It was so painful that my thoughts were muddled. My senses were confused, disconnected from the world. Even if I wanted to use my ascension skill, like I did in the corridor back then... I was under such intense pain and my thoughts were so intertwined that I couldn't.
