Carmine was obviously the first to break through, moving quickly to Rank Two and then Rank Three as Wolfe held her in his arms. Rank Four took half an hour, and an hour into their bonding, Nimue made it to Rank Five.
"That is brilliant. I don't even know if the old man's Time Magic can advance someone that quickly. But I see how it's working, the purified and Condensed mana of a Rank Six Demon can force the progress much more quickly than they could hope to do on their own." Queen Jasmine mumbled to herself as she took notes.
Then she reached a tendril of mana out to Wolfe, wondering if he could use it to infuse into his link.
Wolfe gathered the tendril of mana and let it flow through them, causing an instant reaction that took Carmine to Rank Five, and which was rapidly moving both of the other bodyguards toward Rank Six.
On the other hand, Risa seemed to have stalled at what felt like the peak of Rank Six, even with the influence of the Queen's mana.
