That was the reason why he put his hands into his pockets during the earlier incident. He was connecting with his only source of Mana, the beast crystals in his possession.
If he hadn't done so, then he would be nothing more than a dead corpse at this moment. Killed by a fifth level Qi Spirit Esper.
Just the thought of it gave him a headache as well as some lingering fears. Anyone who it was explained to would understand the gravity of his situation and yet he could do nothing about it.
With his body's inability to store Mana, he was able to withstand the Mana wave without a hitch. It was like pouring water into a basket, as for if he would have survived the Mana corroding if the case were different, only heaven knows.
Feeling extremely depressed, Damon s,uppressed his rampant thoughts by taking a deep breath. Now was the time, and he couldn't allow anything to muddle his mind and mess with his plans.
He had prepared for this day. No matter what situation he encountered, he was 100% sure that the outcome would be the same. He was going to change the world, but first things first, time to get to work.
"Hmm? What the?....."
Damon sensed something had locked unto him and was approaching at a fast speed. Damon's face changed slightly.
Reacting in instinct, his body implemented the first thing that came to his brain as the Mana within the beast crystal was absorbed.
The space around his left arm distorted before turning as good as new. However, he now held a meter long silver battle axe with purple engravings on them.
The silver luster it gave off made it look extremely mysterious as I gave off an ethereal vibe.
Damon's left arm suddenly felt like it was overflowing with energy.
[Superpower: Super strength]
His body akin to a leaking bucket for Mana was only similar in strength to a human before the apocalypse who had undergone special training, however, that had changed at the moment.
Damon who felt overpowered at the moment moved with nimble steps. A strong wind assaulted the back his head and he bent his neck to the right.
A gust of wind blew past as a sickle like arm slashed past his face, only millimeters away from the surface of his skin.
"Shriek! Woosh"
A loud shriek echoed near his ears as he heard the sound of the window being split in half. Damon's perception sped up incredibly and he twisted his body at an angle impossible for humans to achieve.
His body bent downwards and the second attack breezed past him again but this time, he had had enough. His muscles flexed and the large axe slashed upward at high speed.
BANG
A head exploded into bits and pieces while the body came to an abrupt half before falling to the door lifeless. Damon finally saw the creature that ambushed him, or at least tried to.
It was a Black Armored mantis with a sixth level Qi spirit realm cultivation base.
