"Good, now it's time for you to pay for your sins."
Mela felt her soul leaving her body as she heard those words.
Right now, her body was almost paralysed; all the mana in the room was forcing her to kneel.
It was almost like Mana had become sentient and was following the boy's will.
But it was actually a lot more complicated than that because William was currently focusing on all the mana particles near Mela and making them extremely dense, which was forcing her to kneel.
This little antic of his took a lot of his mental power, but it definitely did its job of making him look stronger than he actually was and also making it seem like Mana was following his commands.
And due to the dense nature of the mana around Mela as well as her weakened state, she wasn't able to use mana.
The potion William had fed her made all her sensory organs extremely hyperactive at the cost of her mana.
