Chapter 1255
“Did I… go too far?” I asked as I flew through the air, occasionally landing to take a break.
“No, Master was very cool!” Alysia declared.
Well, at least my sword thought I was cool. I was still fuming after dealing with Miki’s parents. I hadn’t said another word to them as I left. I was afraid of any more words were exchanged, I might do something I’d regret later. If I was being technical, they were the first parents I had ever met for any of my lovers, I mean… where I didn’t also have their mom as my slave and potential lover. That probably said something about me, but I didn’t want to think about it.
We moved at a rather alarming rate, but it was a method that took a toll on my body. For an explosive battle, it wasn’t a problem, but for a long-term transportation method, it used a lot of energy. When I was in the air, I tried to cast out my mana sense as far as it would go. Then, when I landed, I’d use the new map to portal to the edge, and then do it again. It ate through a lot of dungeon points, but not my mana.
Well, the way I had come to understand dungeon points, it technically still was my mana. Dungeon points came from the mana stored within blessings. So, when I used a dungeon point, I was essentially using up that mana until it had time to restore. For some skills, it was a continuous use, the mana regenerating at the same rate the skill was used. In other cases, the dungeon points had to be consumed, executing the skill in a single-use.
Since these dungeon points were allocated to specific skills and specific purposes, they could be used more efficiently than normal mana. It was like having a house connected to electricity, but also having a generator specifically connected to a high-powered device. When that device needs energy, the generator can provide it without taking from your normal reserve… but in the case that you need a little extra energy, the generator could do that as well. At least, that was how I understood it.
Reset naturally through this dedicated mana reserve off, allowing me to use it for numerous different purposes. However, just like when I used a Portal, once that mana was depleted, I wouldn’t be able to reallocate it until the mana was restored. I had never tested it out, but if I ever completely depleted my surplus mana pool from dungeon points, it would probably render me unable to use Portal or any of my other abilities.
This had some crazy implications, like that my additional jobs were supported by mana. I wasn’t sure about that. It was only my running theory. I had time to think as I was gliding through the ground. I didn’t want to think about all of the pain and loneliness Miki must be feeling at that moment. I didn’t want to think about how I had let her down. Thus, I let my mind dwell on these unimportant things.
That only lasted a short time though. I was covered in sweat and exhausted from the constant use of my abilities, but only two hours later I came upon a clearing in front of a large city. Situated there was an army, and standing before them was a girl I recognized too well. It was too late. The army was already charging at Miki.
