Capítulo 117: Secrets

( One month later, Leo )

After a full month of practicing the 'Kill Strike' Leo was able to finally grasp the essence of mana compression.

The problem had lied with him trying to compress mana as if it was a solid object all along.

In his mind, he tried to compress mana like one would try to compress a ball of dough, trying to make it as compact as he could, however, that was a mistake.

Ben always told him, that mana was like a stream of water, that mana was ever flowing, however, Leo never understood the importance of these words until one day it suddenly made sense.

After repeated failures, constant reflection and comprehension, Leo realized that to compress mana on the tip of his dagger, he needed to compress it not as a solid, but rather like channeling and narrowing a stream of water through a tight passage, focusing its flow to achieve a more potent force at a single point.
