Chen Chuan gently stroked the Snow Monarch Blade, sensing the power that remained within it. He raised the blade again and, with a swing through the air, cut open another tiny Rift, barely an inch wide.
Then, focusing his mind, he swung the blade over it once more. This time, too, he successfully mended it.
He tried a few more times, and after a short while, he could feel a sense of fatigue coming from the Snow Monarch Blade.
This meant that both creating and mending Rifts consumed the blade's power, and the Mutated Organization within it would also grow weary.
Upon careful assessment, he realized that mending a Rift consumed far less power than creating one, likely due to the suppressive effect of the World Ring.
This meant that if he only had enough power to create a Rift at maximum strength once a day, he could mend them two or three times.
