It had been a week since Milo and his crew arrived at Azure peak and as everyone involved had expected, it had been a boring journey thus far. Milo, Ellen and Kamil all equally spent there time in preparation to absorb the stone of recovery.
Most of it involved completely cleansing their body of mana, which was risky in its own right. Doing so would allow the flash flood of mana trapped inside of the stones, mana that was about ten times denser than the mana they currently possessed, to rush towards their core and rapidly increase its level, without needing to hinder the mana surrounding it.
Milo sagged back into a chair as his eyes struggled to stay open. He hadn't thought that losing his mana like this would leave him in such a fragile state.
By some miracle he felt worse than he did when he lost movement in his legs. It was as if his entire body has been dried up, all of his muscles burnt each time he so much as raised his arm.
