Kapitel 177: Silence [1]

The familiar heat blanketed over me. 

Despite the mana covering my body, sweat continued to trickle down the side of my face as I had a hard time breathing. 

I felt an uncomfortable heat at the back of my throat with each breath that I took. 

"Haa..." 

But it wasn't the heat that was bothering me. 

"Mana." 

The fact that I was low on mana was bothering me the most. On any normal occasion, I'd be able to last more than a few hours before completely running out. 

However, the situation was different. 

My mana was almost completely depleted due to my effort in trying to escape. 

It was so low that I figured I had less than ten minutes to spare. 

'Good thing I brought some water with me.' 

The main problem with the Crimson Shade was the fact that everything beneath it would dry up, including living beings besides monsters.
