In front of Cale�s tent. Obante, the Dark Elf mayor, caressed a black tree trunk.

�They�re huge.�

The black trunks seemed to be endless. He could feel the dead mana inside of them trying to escape.

There was so much that he could not tell how much dead mana was inside all of these black tree trunks.

�Mary will become significantly stronger if she absorbs all of this.�

Of course, it was impossible for her to absorb all of it because of the sheer amount.

Obante was disappointed, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Strength was not something that you could gain as much as you wanted just because you wanted it.

It was similar to how there were tiers in sword art and magic.

A beginner swordsman would be useless even with aura.

Everything was only in balance when you had just enough strength to match where you were at.

You were bound to get sick if you ate too much at once.

That was why he was both satisfied and worried about the hesitating Mary.

Cale had told Mary to have all of this dead mana.

That was why Mary was hesitating.

�She�s probably concerned about taking all of the dead mana by herself when the Dark Elves worked with her last night.�

Obante thought that it was very much like Mary as he approached her.

�Mary.�

She looked toward him once he called her.

�We are fine, so take as much as you want, no, as much as you need to become full.�

Mary could see Tasha and the Dark Elves nodding their heads behind Obante. They had all gathered outside Cale�s tent at some point.

�Yes, we have Elementals too!�

�We already absorbed a large amount of dead mana while purifying the black despair last night.�

All of them nodded their heads as they chimed in. JrNovels.com
