"Cough, cough… damn it."
Ilwoo spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the floor, staring at the pillar now shining a golden hue, like the world's largest glowstick.
"I just have ninety-five pillars left to infuse with my mana… cough, cough."
Blood dripped from his mouth again as he forced himself to stand, trembling, pressing against the ground for support.
He wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand and glanced at the pillar he had managed to light so far.
"I've infused my mana into metal, demonic, dark, spirit, and bloodline pillars… only these five are lit so far."
He sighed deeply, pressing a hand to his abdomen. He could feel his mana recovering faster than before, much quicker compared to his previous attempts.
Pushing himself to the limit had forced a breakthrough with the pillars.
If this keeps up, I think I can speed up my mana recovery within hours.
