After a bit of roughhousing, Lanci patted his sleeves and sat down next to Talia once again.
"Sorry, how much mana do you have left?"
Talia realized that she had, albeit reluctantly, entered into a combat state.
Although it was not a state of full combat readiness, her mana consumption must have been much higher than usual.
"I still have more than half left. It's fine if we're just chatting. Now, if you have any questions, let's hurry and get them sorted out."
Lanci shook his head listlessly.
"But why do I feel a little stronger?"
Talia, sensing her own body, asked him in confusion.
Her ultimate attribute should be the addition of the Great Love Poet's attribute times one hundred percent, but the Great Love Poet's own attribute was almost negligible.
"Could it be the [Hopeless Mark]? The mark of Sathya of Despair, a Ninth-order Great Demon, can slightly strengthen all one's summoned creatures."
Lanci mulled over and responded.
