Mikhail stared at the last remaining shard of the Water Elemental's core.
And then, with a deep breath, he closed his eyes.
Spiritual Aether poured out from his Cerebral Core, flowing through the Water Elemental Routes. Through his neck and into his right arm, until finally reaching the route openings all over his hands.
From there, the Spiritual Aether left his hand and began seeping into the crystal.
With the vestiges of life gone from its structure, Mikhail had an easy time saturating that core chunk with his will. And after thirty minutes, the entire crystal was saturated with Mikhail's Spiritual Aether.
It had been a long process, but it was far faster than he otherwise would have managed. Because Mikhail had noticed that the amount of Spiritual Aether he could conjure at any given time had grown considerably in comparison to the hours prior.
