Chapter 53: False Hope

Everybody was terror-stricken and was trying hard to appear calm, but Jack was the calmest amongst them, which was the reason why he was in charge of their group right now.

Meanwhile, Nial was just exhausted, and could barely use his senses and mana perception to understand what was happening.

His thoughts were still distracted by the elemental crystal, but that was something that had to wait for a moment.

Forcing himself to stand firmly on the ground, he shook his head to clear it and followed the others that were led out of the cave by Jack.

The young man who was around his age was still filled with vigor and it was almost as if he was completely unaffected by the fight they had just fought and won.

His breathing was steady and so were his mana fluctuations.

This made Nial wonder if Jack was simply holding back or if his Innate ability had improved his stamina regeneration.
