Meeting Zaphreal IRL (3) - Microbes

In the end, ice would work perfectly fine, Eldrian concluded. He simply had to keep the shield from touching him, thus preventing a direct line from forming between him and his shield. Which he felt would be true in all cases when facing lightning—or electricity. 

"We are here." Zaphreal said, pulling Eldrian from his thoughts on what would be a better shield.

"And what is here?" Eldrian asked.

"The place where we monitor the company, and the world." Zaphreal replied. "One of our magic observatories."

"Magic observatories?"

"Indeed. Thanks to some recent breakthroughs, we've separated magic from ourselves." Zaphreal smiled and indicated towards Qiren. "We finally managed to create a method to observe mana without requiring magic."

'Oh?' Intrigued, Eldrian listened on. However, it wasn't that interesting. 'They basically made something like Mana Examination, but slapped it onto a telescope.'
