Chapter 31: Breakthrough

Mana, though not as useful to divine beings like myself, has proven to be a valuable resource for Ikem. While he still struggles to fully integrate mana into his abilities, he has shown remarkable success in other areas. This discovery has opened up exciting possibilities for our training.

As I delved deeper into the nature of mana, I observed striking similarities to divine energy. It possesses properties that enhance strength when focused on specific areas of the body. By honing his control and mastery of mana, Ikem has experienced overall physical improvements, allowing him to continue his combat training with me.

Initially, my superior strength enabled me to identify and address Ikem's weaknesses effectively. However, as he made progress and overcame those flaws, I realized that the power gap between us presented a significant challenge. Despite his unwavering determination, landing a hit on me has become increasingly difficult due to my heightened senses and speed.
