Xion had always wanted to analyze the peculiarities of Darius' mana, but until now, he'd had no way to do so.
At first, he could not afford to let Rael waste any mana due to his condition. Then, even after stabilizing it, the opportunity never arose.
There was also the issue of storage. He had no means of containing mana for study.
But now, he did.
The Ring was more than just an amplifier; it was a reservoir, capable of holding mana for later use.
If he could extract Darius' mana and uncover why it rejected others, half his problem would be solved.
Excitement stirred in Xion. The sooner he unraveled the mystery behind Moonshade Affliction, the sooner he could disappear.
Thinking like this, he jumped to his feet. The pain thrumming in his ankle did nothing to dampen his enthusiasm. If anything, it only heightened it.
That was until he opened the door, and then... Nothing.
