Bab 146: The gem and Ogre's story

Little Phoenix made a simple ball of mana with her Dark Element Mana, and when she finished, Shingi started manipulating it and moving it around. Next, Little Phoenix made a ball as big as a ping-pong ball, but Shingi used only half of it.

He quickly took the hand of it as the source of the mana, Little Phoenix, wasn't putting any resistance against him. But, since it wasn't one Element of his Mana Tree, he couldn't manipulate as well as those, but still, it was better than average.

He focused his detection skills entirely on the gem of the collar and on the space that the opening they decided to use was.

Azalea focused on some of the Tower's energy on the gem, and Shingi could see its energy that permanently moved had slowed down by slightly more than half. Still, it wouldn't give him much time to react if something went wrong, but it would increase his chance to do so if needed.
