66 Mana Reinforcement

Evan left the sparring arena and it was quite simple to guess what he did just after leaving the arena.

Did he test his full power using mana reinforcement in the real life?

Nope!

The first thing he did was to take out his phone and opened the calculator.

Then he used the calculator to see how much money he is going to get.

Since the odds were 1: 5 and Evan betted his entire bank account he earned quite a lot this time.

Evan's eyes released a bright beam of light when he saw the number on the calculator.

510,240.

"I hope this time my break up with poverty will last for the lifetime" Evan muttered and started to walk towards his room.

While betting he provided his bank account number so the winning amount will come into his bank account after some time.

After arriving in his room Evan sat down and once again used mana reinforcement.

A light blue layer of the mana with a faint layer of black that was almost invisible appeared around his body.

This time Evan didn't hold back and used mana reinforcement to its limit.

Evan felt his body beaming with power and he can easily feel the difference between his full power in VR and in the real life.

Evan lowered the power of mana reinforcement to 80% and find his power level was the same as the VR. If he uses 80% power he will reach at C+ rank.

Evan once again used 100% power of the mana reinforcement and felt his power level.

Soon Evan felt at 100% power he will be more powerful than a C+ rank hunter. Although he will still be far weaker when compared to a B rank hunter, Evan can feel he won't have any problem defeating a C+ rank hunter if he uses mana reinforcement to its full power.

But soon Evan felt something and his eyes narrowed.

'Why am I feeling the pain all over my body?' Evan thought and continue to maintain mana reinforcement to its 100% power.

The pain was not too much at the beginning but slowly it started to build up and get worse. After five minutes Evan felt like his body is at its limits.

Evan felt that if he continues to use mana reinforcement his body will not be able to handle it. The power brought by the mana that has little shadow energy mixed in it was too much for his current body.

Evan was very familiar with this feeling.

It was the same as what happened when he fought against the C rank wolf and used the one unit of shadow energy.

After using one unit of shadow energy Evan's body was at its limit and even his bones started to crack at that time.

Evan quickly stopped using mana reinforcement but he still felt throbbing pain all over his body.

Evan took out a healing potion that he brought when he went out to do mission and quickly drank it.

A refreshing feeling spread all over his body and the pain he was feeling started to ease up.

"I can't use mana reinforcement to its full power with my current body" Evan muttered and lay down on the bed.

When Evan used 80% power he reached at C+ rank and didn't feel any burden on his body, but just as he used 100% power and his power exceeded the limit of C+ rank Evan's body wasn't able to handle the power.

"I should just use mana reinforcement to 80% since my body can't handle 100% currently"

Evan wasn't someone who loves to harm himself for no reason so he decided to not use mana reinforcement to 100% power before his body become strong enough to handle the burden of shadow energy.

While laying Evan closed his eyes and tried to sense his monarch core. A black drop that is actually shadow energy was spinning around his monarch core.

Last time when his prime core evolved to D rank it absorbed one unit of shadow energy and mutated. At that time Evan thought he won't get that one unit back.

But to his surprise after twenty-four hours that one unit of shadow energy regenerated itself and appeared around his monarch core.

Evan looked at the pitch-black drop of energy for some time and then shook his head.

"Forget it, I shouldn't test it. What if my body can't handle the shadow energy like last time? I shouldn't take the unnecessary risk" Evan was thinking about using that one unit of shadow energy to see what will happen.

But when he remembered what happened after his fight ended with the wolf Evan just shook his head.

He still remembered how his mana went chaotic and his body started to break because of the power of shadow energy.

Evan does not want to feel that kind of pain for no reason.

After thirty minutes the pain that he was feeling because of using mana reinforcement completely disappeared.

Suddenly Evan received a message on his phone.

At first, he thought it will be a massage regarding the money he won after betting, so he excitedly open the massage.

But he was disappointed when he saw it was not the message regarding his winning amount. It was a message from an unknown number.

(Now that your match is over let's leave on Sunday after two days)

Although the number was unknown Evan immediately recognized who send him this message.

"How did she get my number?" Evan muttered because he never gave her his number.

But soon he just shrugged his shoulders and sent her a message that he has no problem about leaving on Sunday.

After sending her a message Evan put away his phone and thought about buying more potions and other necessary things.

But more importantly, he thought about absorbing the cores of the black ogre.

"I will absorb them tomorrow. Let's hope my luck will not turn me down this time" Evan muttered and closed his eyes.

Even though he didn't use mana reinforcement to 100% power for a long time. Evan still felt his body was drained so he decided to sleep for some time.
