Like a web of energy, these mana lines pulsed with power, facilitating the rapid transfer of mystical energy from the crystals to Simon's being.
The efficiency of the process was remarkable. As Simon maintained his concentration and directed his mana flow, the energy from multiple crystals merged and surged into him simultaneously.
The pale blue haze around Simon's body intensified, reflecting the immense influx of power. Level 540… level 541… One by one, the crystals transformed into empty husks, their energy fully absorbed by Simon.
The speed at which he absorbed them was a testament to his skill and proficiency in mana manipulation. What would have taken hours or even days using conventional methods was now accomplished in a fraction of the time.
