Chapter 494: Mana Sense



Eleiney stood with her back against a tree. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was stable as she slowly tried to feel the energy around her.

The technique that Adam had taught them was an application of the Sphere of Resonance,

allowing them to greatly perceive the world around them by enhancing their senses.

Reality was composed entirely of energy. This wasn't just an arcane perspective but the very nature of the universe.

Everything that seemed solid was merely energy vibrating at a slower rate. When examined at a microscopic level, even a stone was made up of particles that were perpetually in motion.

Everything I can touch, hear, see, taste, and smell is simply energy in different forms being perceived by my senses, Eleiney thought to herself.

However, energy wasn't limited to what one could perceive through their senses. There was energy that exceeded the normal five senses-mana!

Eleiney took long and deep breaths, trying to stabilize her mood and her state of mind. She had to be completely still in order to do what she was about to do.

But that was easier said than done. She then slowly recalled Adam's words.

'When Magi try to figure out their opponents, they sense the vibrations in their surrounding air. That is how they come to know how powerful a Magus is.'

'We refer to that as the energy flow of a being!'

'The element of air is all around us, it permeates every corner of the world.'

'Feel the wind.'

'Infuse your mana into the wind.'

Gradually, Eleiney fell into a deep meditative state. She first channeled the gathered mana in her body, directing it toward her hands.

Then, she weaved the specific hand gestures that Adam had taught them, allowing her to infuse the mana into the air molecules around her.

This process involved spreading her mana through the air and establishing a form of sensory network.

She didn't know how long it took, perhaps a few minutes or a few hours, but a thin, invisible thread of mana extended from the tip of her index fingers.

However, the thread was struggling to go past a few centimeters from her body.

The theory behind this technique was to use the mana threads and create a web-like structure that could detect disturbances and changes in the environment around the caster.

This, however, was vastly different from Adam's Sphere of Resonance.

Instead, of utilizing threads, the Sphere of Resonance used echoes. With the help of the white lotus, Adam could send out pulses of spiritual power through the air.

These pulses bounced back when they encountered objects, allowing Adam to map his surroundings based on the returning echoes.

However, his students couldn't use spiritual power as effortlessly as he could. Thus, he created this spell that used threads instead of echoes, and mana instead of spiritual power.

Rank 1 Spell: Adam's Mana Sense!

Through this spell, the caster receives sensory feedback through the mana threads. The feedback is translated directly into the Magus's mind.

The Magus's mind then constructs a detailed mental map of their surroundings based on the sensory input. This map included the location of objects, terrain features, and most importantly, the presence of living beings.

As the caster moved, or the environment changed, they were required to continuously adjust their mana infusion and sensory network.

This required constant focus and control, making it very difficult to master.

However, once mastered, this technique would become invaluable for navigation, scouting, and detecting hidden threats.

It could be used in dark and obscured environments, giving the Magus an edge over various situations.

The only limitation of this spell was that it required a significant amount of concentration which could be mentally draining.

But once practiced to an extremely high degree, this spell became second nature, just like how Adam passively used the Sphere of Resonance all the time.

Beads of sweat trickled down Eleiney's forehead as she struggled to extend the mana thread beyond a meter.

This spell proved to be much harder than she had imagined.

By the time the sun had begun to set, she was completely mentally exhausted. She was no longer able to maintain the spell.

She gradually opened her eyes in defeat. "This is tough—"

But the words got stuck in her mouth because what greeted her was the incoming paw of a cat.

POW!

...

A week later.

In the dim twilight of the winter evening, a figure emerged from the snow-covered forest. The man was wearing a long, dark cloak that billowed with the icy wind.

He was exuding a sharp and foreboding aura that seemed to chill the air around him even more than the biting cold. The man had a head full of black hair with a receding hairline. He had a thick beard of the same color.

Beneath him was a terrifying creature - a tiger of immense size, its fur was snow white and had black stripes on it.

The tiger's eyes glowed an unnatural blue. Each step it took was silent, its massive paws leaving only the faintest imprints on the snow.

As the pair moved along the path winding through the grove, the man's hand occasionally reached down and stroked the tiger's furry neck.

The path wound its way through the grove and towards a small town, its stone walls barely visible in the swirling snow. The town's gates stood tall and imposing, however, the man's attention wasn't on the town, but on the dark forest that lay beyond.

"Weeping Woods," said the man with a cold smile on his face. "The mayor claimed that it is filled with treasures and ancient secrets. I wonder how much of that is false..."

The man and tiger slowly approached the town's gates. The tiger halted a few steps away from the gates, maliciously gazing at the guards standing atop the walls.

Seeing the look in his familiar's eyes, the man chuckled and patted the beast's head. "Not

yet."

He paused for a moment before instructing. "Go ahead, let them know thier savior has arrived."

The tiger's eyes flashed with a vicious light.

ROAR!!
