‘Kuh!’ Zich quickly regained his senses.

‘Did I lose my consciousness for a bit?” That seemed to be the case. Even if he had mentally prepared himself, the clash between the fire mana and his own mana was beyond imagination.

‘I can’t let that happen!’

‘It cracked!’

The mana that hadn’t even budged when he tried his hardest broke out. Like a farmer cutting wheat during harvest season, Zich collected them all.

‘I am going to do it one more time.’ Zich moved the fire mana again. He put his guard up to not faint this time.
