Gasping air as he drained his mana-well, it was emptied with all his summonings. His feet became weary and slammed his butt on the floor. Bodies were littered around him and were emitting a radiant glow. Disintegrating as Joan sucked their essence.
He felt that his abdomen was throbbing. Signifying that his mana-well in his solar plexus was emptied. Joan then went into a lotus position to regain his mana. Absorbing the mana on his surroundings.
To his surprise, the air was thick on mana. Maybe it was because of the rift that was opened in front of him.
It was then, when he regained his mana, he immediately stood up and went into the front of the portal. Preparing his mana, he cast a spell to close the portal.
It was a race of time, the enemies were getting nearer and nearer. He felt that their coming was getting sooner than later. He felt that he has to close the gate no matter what. Or else everything will be in greater worst.
