Rain had taken precautions to safeguard the information about his friends and family who were still training. Aware of the risks involved in the mission, he had encrypted and sealed this information within the depths of his consciousness, ensuring that it would remain hidden even if he were to fall into enemy hands.
But even as he maintained this mental barrier, Rain's focus remained divided. The pocket dimension he had created to shield them from Arel's attacks required a constant stream of mana to sustain, as did the Time Dilation effect he had employed to manipulate the flow of time around them as well..
It was a delicate balance, one that required him to carefully allocate his limited reserves of mana. As a result, Rain found himself with far less mana to spare than usual, leaving him vulnerable during the fight.
