As everyone knew, Ritsuka Fujimaru's qualifications as a mage were not particularly high. In theory, even if every last bit of mana in her body were drained, it still would not add up to a single Saint Graph Crystal.
And now, the reason she could mass-produce Saint Graph Crystals like an assembly line, practically becoming a wholesale Saint Graph Crystal dealer, was entirely thanks to the passive effect of the one-star exclusive Miraculous Item Chen Li had tailored for her—[Mind Bond]: [Jianghu Brotherhood, Birth and Death]!
As long as the user serving as the "anchor" had not given up, every friendly unit that had formed a deep Bond with her would be forcibly locked into their "morale" and "condition."
Put into plain language:
What Ritsuka Fujimaru was draining right now was not her own mana at all, but... the Doctor's mana!
Although the Doctor was also a good-for-nothing after becoming human again and had virtually no mana reserves, he had a life to spare! Converting Life Force into mana was basic practice in the magecraft world. It was cruel, but under Chen Li's Miraculous Item rules, it became an unsolvable bug.
As long as Ritsuka Fujimaru did not give up—so long as she was still making crystals—the Doctor would be forcibly locked in a "full HP and full MP" state. Then he would be drained dry in an instant, his Life Force plummeting; the next second, the Miraculous Item effect would trigger and force him back to full; the second after that, he would be drained dry again...
If someone used the Miracle Card [Game Life], which could detect health bars, to observe him right then, they would find the Doctor's health bar and mana bar bouncing around like crazy, at a frequency fast enough to blind anyone.
