An Anomaly Even Among Deviants

Magna took a pill from the pouch and swallowed it without waiting for permission.

Warmth spread through his stomach as energy poured into his body.

[Energy particles detected...]

Gaia's voice rang in his ears, feminine yet chaotic, while he checked how much mana he had gained from that single pill.

Mana: 17%

One pill had restored 9% of his mana. Taking around 20 more would be enough to bring his reserves close to 200%.

"How many more can you take?" Melisandre asked, continuing to write.

"Around 20." Magna took several more pills from the pouch and tossed them into his mouth.

Both women's eyes lit up at his answer as they watched him swallow another 20 pills before stopping.

"That puts your mana capacity on par with a 9th Trial Witch's…" Melisandre muttered, struggling to believe it.
