Chapter 1605 Calm and Composed!
Initially 56000, 40000 stored in the Source of Mana, 1000 consumed to activate the puppet, and about 500 consumed by the previous sweeping attack, leaving 15000 points available, with 24 mana reserves in the Source of Mana.
Furthermore, the source of magic can absorb nearby unclaimed energy to further increase its storage capacity.
"Fortunately, I had stored up most of my mana beforehand, and fortunately, I obtained the treasure, the Source of Mana." A huge sense of relief welled up in Ye Chuyun's heart once again.
Without the massive reserve of 200,000 from the Source of Mana, relying solely on his own 50,000-plus points of mana, he probably wouldn't have lasted even ten minutes under such depletion.
He steadied himself, maintaining the flow of magical power to the puppet while also keeping a close eye on the consumption of his own magical power, preparing to replenish it using the source of magical power when necessary.
With this substantial financial backing, he felt much more confident and was able to comfortably get through the final half hour.
However, others were not so lucky.
"Ah, my magic power is dropping so fast!"
"I've only killed a dozen or so monsters, and I've already lost a third of my magic power!"
"No! I can't hold on! I simply can't hold on!"
"Help! My magic power is almost depleted!"
The shrill screams came one after another.
Those trial participants, whose mana reserves were already stretched thin, had a thousand points drained away the moment the puppet was activated, their hearts bleeding.
The puppet's continued firing was like cutting through their lifelines.
As his mana plummeted, the mechanical army ahead seemed endless.
That feeling of despair is enough to break a person.
A trial participant with only 3,000 points of mana had his mana completely reduced to zero in less than 20 seconds after the puppet began firing.
The moment his magic power was exhausted, the humming of the puppet cannon barrel abruptly stopped, and the beam of energy it was shooting out vanished instantly.
At the same time, the red light from the lens on the puppet's head dimmed, returning it to its previous cold and lifeless appearance.
At that moment, the mechanical army had already rushed over, less than ten meters away!
"No! No!!" he cried out in terror, futilely trying to gather his magic power again or use other means.
But under the constraints of the rules, it's all in vain.
A flying robot with 30 health points raised its launch port, and a blue energy ray struck its chest precisely.
"puff!"
Before the trial participant could even let out a complete scream, his figure turned into a white light and disappeared into the path of light.
disuse!
And this is just the beginning.
One after another, white lights lit up on different light paths.
Those trial participants who had squandered their resources during the third wave of monsters were now paying the heaviest price for their previous indulgence.
Ye Chuyun calmly watched all this, continuing to supply energy to the puppet.
He always maintained a safe distance in front of his light path.
But the mechanical army seems to have no end.
As soon as one wave was cleared out, new robots immediately emerged from the end of the chaos to fill the void.
The scarlet numbers above their heads were no longer life points in the eyes of the trial participants, but rather death warrants.
Each number represents the amount of mana required.
The discarded white light, like a death countdown, flashed one after another along the paths of light.
Every desperate scream tightened the nerves of the other trial participants who hadn't yet been eliminated.
The trio is also struggling to stay afloat.
Yama's expression was tense. His 15,000 points of mana seemed like a lot, but it couldn't last long against the puppet's terrifying rate of consumption.
They might not even last ten minutes.
He had to start selectively controlling the puppets' attack frequency, prioritizing the elimination of the robots with higher health.
The remaining robots with low health were allowed to approach to a certain distance before being eliminated in a concentrated manner, in order to conserve mana.
Ghost Blade and Crimson Snow were even more stretched thin. Their magical reserves were already inferior to Yama's, so they could only adopt a more extreme defensive strategy. The puppet's attacks were intermittent, and the safe zone was constantly being compressed, creating a perilous situation.
The most tragic one was Zi Sha.
At this moment, the arrogant and domineering one-horned youth was pale and sweating profusely.
His mana, which was just over ten thousand, was already depleted, and he was frantically using the opportunities and rewards he had previously obtained to recover a small amount of mana.
"Damn it, this lousy potion only restores a thousand points, what can that do?" Zi Sha gritted her teeth and gulped down a bottle of mana potion.
Watching the mana points barely jump for a moment before being greedily drained away by the puppet.
He had squandered too much money before, and now it's just a drop in the ocean.
Along his path of light, the mechanical army had closed to within five meters, their footsteps seemingly right beside his ears.
Zi Sha could only frantically inject his remaining mana while searching his personal space for any missing supplies with red eyes, looking utterly pathetic.
In stark contrast to them was the light path where Ye Chuyun was located.
Ye Chuyun remained calm and composed, her right hand lightly resting on the groove.
The puppet continuously emitted beams of energy, making the area in front of his light path impregnable.
All robots that tried to approach, regardless of their health, were precisely killed the moment they entered the firing range, turning into piles of scrap metal.
Ye Chuyun even felt like yawning.
It wasn't that he was arrogant, but rather that he really had no room to maneuver.
All he needs to do is be a reliable battery.
After consuming about a third of his own magical power, he activated the source of magical power with a thought.
Soon, a surge of pure magic power flowed into his body, instantly replenishing his depleted magic power.
[Mana Points: 56000/56000]
The reserves of mana have only decreased by a negligible amount.
[Reserved Mana: 220000/280000]
"It feels like playing a game with unlimited firepower." A strange thought even crossed Ye Chuyun's mind.
With the Source of Mana as his treasure, this fourth wave of monsters was indeed not a challenge for him.
He even spared a bit of his attention to observe the battle situation on other light paths.
It's quite amusing to watch those who once mocked him struggle in despair.
His points are undoubtedly rising at a rate that leaves everyone else in the dust.
But at this point, no one was paying attention to the standings anymore.
Survival is their only desire.
Time slowly passed amidst the killing and despair.
Ten minutes felt like an eternity.
Just when many trial participants were about to completely exhaust their magical power and had given up entirely...
Mutations reborn!
"Tick...tick..."
Without warning, a light drizzle began to fall throughout the entire Endless Trial Corridor!
Each raindrop emitted a soft white light; upon closer inspection, it was not rainwater, but an energy liquid containing pure spiritual energy!
They pierced through the void and fell evenly upon each trial participant.
"Is this rain?"
"What a peculiar feeling..."
