After setting his mind on exterminating the bloodmetal mites within the contaminated water, Leon immediately acted upon it by increasing the range of his nihility.
Millions of bloodmetal mites were quickly reduced into wisps of True Grandmist Energy.
Although the bloodmetal mites were many, possibly in the billions, they hardly produced many wisps of True Grandmist Energy.
In fact, it took millions of bloodmetal mites to produce a few wisps of True Grandmist Energy.
The mass of objects used did not equal the mass of True Grandmist Energy produced. This was even more true for the puny bloodmetal mites that could be barely seen by ordinary human eyes.
Evidently, a majority of the matter was lost in the conversion process. They were gone from the world forever, reduced to nothingness.
Leon had been aware of that.
