"Just now... I successfully activated my Noble Phantasm, right?" Mash seemed unable to believe it.
Kiyohime, standing beside her, covered half her face with a folding fan and said with a smile, "Though it is not yet a complete Noble Phantasm, there is no doubt about the strength of Miss Mash's conviction to protect Master."
"Indeed. Facing the Flame Giant's attacks for ten minutes without retreating, little sister, you may be a Demi-Servant, but you are undoubtedly already a first-rate Heroic Spirit."
Dog Brother praised Mash first, then said regretfully while rubbing his chin, "But although you can deploy a Noble Phantasm, you still have not obtained its True Name..."
At that moment, the director, who had been watching from the side, walked over. "Though it is only at this level, it will do. Mash, your Noble Phantasm shall be called Pseudo-Deployment/Foundation of Humanity, LordChaldeas."
"Pseudo-Deployment/Foundation of Humanity?" Mash murmured the name.
"Not a bad name, right? Chaldea is very meaningful to you, so this should be a resounding incantation capable of activating your Spirit Origin, shouldn't it?"
"Thank you, Director. I really like this name!" A heartfelt, satisfied smile bloomed across Mash's innocent face, and she nodded heavily at the director.
Su Mo was happy for Mash as well. Just as he was about to pat his junior's head as a reward, his legs suddenly gave out when he walked over. It felt as though all the strength had been drained from his body, his vision blurred, and he cried out as he pitched forward!
"Master!"
Kiyohime reacted quickly, rushing over in time to support Su Mo and preventing him from having an intimate *0 encounter with the ground.
"What the hell? What is going on?! Where is my mana? Where did that huge mass of mana inside me go?" Su Mo said, cold sweat beading on his forehead as he panted heavily, words that terrified Dog Brother...
Three updates a day. One extra update for every thousand flowers, and one extra update for every five hundred in tips. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on the backend data. If it exceeds the target, I will add more.
Where Did My Mana Go?
Seeing Su Mo suddenly lose all his mana, Olga Marie and Mash found it very strange.
"Could it be...!" The director instantly remembered something and sharply turned her gaze toward Cú Chulainn, frightening Dog Brother so badly that cold sweat appeared on his face and he immediately became extremely nervous.
"Exactly how many times did you use your Noble Phantasm during those ten minutes to leave Su Mo without any mana now?"
"There was nothing I could do! Master wanted to support little sister, so the training took so long to finish. And during those ten minutes, in order to maintain the Flame Giant's existence, I could only keep activating my Noble Phantasm..."
Dog Brother swallowed as he explained, then looked at Su Mo with great unease.
"Damn it!"
Once he understood the reason, Su Mo nearly spat blood. Before Dog Brother met him, his mana had already been nearly depleted. If he had not formed a contract with Su Mo, he would definitely have returned to the Hall of Heroes.
But the problem was that this was a temporary contract. They could not establish a magical connection through Command Spells, so the price was that Su Mo's mana would be consumed even faster. Not to mention that Dog Brother had just spammed his Noble Phantasm like crazy. No matter how abundant Su Mo's mana was, it would have been drained dry. After all, his mana was only two or three times greater than that of an ordinary Magus.
Su Mo shoved Kiyohime aside, then walked toward Dog Brother, who had already been scared senseless, with a dark expression. He viciously grabbed the collar of Dog Brother's robe, yanked him close, and said coldly.
"There are two ways to quickly restore my mana."
"What ways? If there is anything I can do to help, I will definitely do everything I can!" The moment Dog Brother heard there was a solution, he was overjoyed.
"The first is to find a quiet place and sleep to restore my mana. But that recovery is relatively slow, so I do not recommend it."
"...Then what about the second?" Dog Brother swallowed. He had a bad feeling about this...
"Eat high-calorie food. Find a place to stew you and eat dog meat!"
"Master, I was wrong! Please do not stew me! My meat and bones are too hard to chew, you will definitely hurt your teeth!"
