The viscountess was chatting away happily, but Saleen never spoke a word. He was hiding in between Sika and Nailisi, busy sensing the person’s aura.
This person brought with them a powerful mental pressure, and this pressure was being concealed. However, the pressure was not directed at Saleen.
Saleen had been very proud of his mental power all along, but he now realized that although his mental power was more than ten times stronger than that of other Grade 2 mages, his mental power seemed to crack under this mental pressure. If the fifth person tried to attack Saleen with all their might, Saleen might not even be able to retaliate with a Grade 0 spell.
Mental power was needed to cast spells, in the same way that a swordsman needed to use his sword. If the swordsman did not have the strength to wield his weapon, then he might injure himself first.
