章 80: It's not a competition!

Over the last few hours, Tom continued to use his skills in a specific succession. The time that he had to sacrifice to use his desired skill for the first time resulted in his ability to rather easily replicate its effects. 

Tom struck his spear against the shining surface of the stone. 

It felt as if some sort of vortex appeared at the tip of his spear. A vortex that was at the same time connected to Tom's very own flesh. When Tom struck, the stone came into contact with that vortex. 

Tom's spear filled with energy. As if he sucked on the straw, the mana came gushing. It washed all Tom's exhaustion away. The burden of sharing his own energy to let Claudia strengthen her body was no more.

Then, Tom felt the energy rush into his body. As if it desired to reinforce every single cell his flesh was made off. All at once, he felt his personal strenght surge on the very physical level.
