บท 362: Unexpected ally

"Shit," the single curse was all that left my mouth. 

A surge of mana rushed through my veins. 

Noticing that something was wrong, the dragon flinched, its deep, lake-like eyes carefully observing every last of my movements...

But at this point, I couldn't care less.

The surge of mana caused by my realization cracked the ice that my body felt like turning into. And within a single second, I lowered myself to my knees, tensed all the muscles in my legs...

I brought my hand up to the biggest of my pouches before throwing it aside. I also infused a small bit of mana into the formation stones inside, prompting those few formations inside to kickstart the process of activating my mage's tower. 

It all took no longer than a single second. And all of my efforts came to fruition right at the very same moment. 

Prompted by the main bunch of formations, my mage tower reappeared in the world.
