The rune master observed the mana clusters he just got.
<200 tier-1 mana clusters in a day. Let's talk about efficiency.>
But Sebastian was going to keep them just for the time it went from leaving the site of the battle and reaching the refuge.
The rune master was going to absorb them before entering the underground city.
He would need to be careful, of course, because too much clusters absorbed here, and too much mana absorbed within the refuge, and he would die.
Regardless, everything was going to help free Richard and destroy the Marauders.
After that, he would head back to the citadel, finish absorbing the clusters on the way there, and then start hunting tier-2 fangeds.
That way, he could really get strong enough to leave Somnium as a tier-3 thespian. At that point, things were going to turn fun.
