Vanessa stood frozen, bewildered by the situation.
Even 6th-circle mages had collapsed, unable to withstand the strain. Alfoy, who was only a 5th-circle mage, should have been out of mana and on the ground by now.
But realization quickly dawned on her.
âHe didnât fully contribute his mana...â
That was it. Alfoy had been too frightened and had subtly slipped away, conserving his energy.
They had specifically brought him to this location to prevent such behavior. Given Alfoyâs temperament, unless he was closely monitored, he would inevitably shirk his duties and avoid exerting himself.
And now, in the midst of the chaos, while Vanessa was preoccupied, Alfoy had once again managed to avoid taking responsibility.
âAlfoy... Please... Transfer your mana to me...â
Vanessaâs voice trembled as she tried to finish her plea, only to falter as she acknowledged her own state.
Her body was far from normal. Even now, she was coughing up blood, her insides twisted and broken.
If she tried to handle transferred mana in this condition, she would collapse immediately.
Desperation flickered in her eyes as she thought of another solution, albeit a risky one.
âAlfoy... just control it for a brief moment...â
At her words, Alfoy recoiled in horror, shouting, âWh-what? I canât do that! Thereâs no way I can!â
