And hope that somewhere between sleep and wakefulness, a window large enough for Ethan's plan would eventually reveal itself.
Unfortunately, it was at this point in time that a new problematic factor struck at Nathan; the issue of mana.
No matter how vast his reserves were, they were still finite. And the Astral Sea was many things, but merciful wasn't one of them.
Maintaining his consciousness here came at a cost, and the longer he stayed, the more aggressively it drained his mana.
Nathan had spent an entire day in the astral sea since his last conversation with his soon, and now he could feel the exhaustion hitting its peak.
His focus began to waver, then he stopped actively maintaining his presence within the Astral sea.
His form immediately folded inward like a collapsing whirlpool as he disappeared.
