Kael was now officially at rank 7, beginner level.
However, he had not yet undergone the qualitative change; the red-steel-colored mana essence began to move of its own accord as if it had life throughout Kael's body.
Kael, with his consciousness, could see how this energy ran through his blood vessels and joined with the platelets moving through his bloodstream, rubbing against him, until it reached his heart, where he could see the exquisite magical diagram of the second circle.
The essence of red steel mana completely covered the heart, which stopped for a brief moment before beginning to beat much harder than before, as if it were coming back to life.
The mana essences continued to improve Kael's condition at an alarming rate—his lungs, kidneys, liver, pancreas, intestines, brain, and more. The same was true for his muscles and bones; everything grew stronger.
