Ten minutes later, the ditch had been widened on all sides, almost triple its former size.
Smoothing it out, Zydrax fills it with ice before jumping in.
Once inside, he places layers of magic circles to conceal it better before sitting taking a meditative posture.
With the abode widened, he now had adequate space for the gigantic orb of negative mana.
As such, he wills it out of the space ring.
It appears in front of him, negative mana held in an orb shape.
The change in the atmosphere is as expected.
Though, from where he was sitting, the negative mana had coalesced so much it looked like a round black boulder, the type that fell off mountains.
With the negative mana gathered, the next step was to change the ice source's essence, turning it into a negative mana refiner.
Controlling the negative mana, he condenses it, making it thicker but smaller, as by the time he was done, the orb was much smaller.
