"I told you not to call me master, and I can dispense with the sarcasm as well."
I go back into my meditation before Ruby can respond and focus my attention on the mana inside the ice. After studying a bit, I can tell that there are two different types of mana and they are fighting. One is trying to keep the demon locked up, which means the other is the demon's mana. If he can use mana, this will be an even tougher fight than I thought.
The problem is that the mana is constantly moving, there is no fixed structure that he can disarm. The only thing I can think of is to try to absorb the mana little by little until it weakens enough for the ice to break. I just have to figure out what to do with all that mana so my head doesn't explode or something.
Well, first I should empty my mana so I have room to absorb some of what I take from the ice. Maybe now would be a good time to finish working on my mana veins, I've been meaning to do that for a while now.
