章節 99: Tom's mere moment

*At the same time*

"What the fuck just happened?" Claudia asked, watching how Cleo's lifeless avatar fell into Tom's arms. 

"I killed her avatar," Tom said blankly, still having trouble processing what happened. Because what others could see was nowhere as complicated as what he went through. 

In a single instant, when this strange, different kind of magical power overflowed his senses, Tom experienced a lot of stuff at once. 

For a mere fraction of a second, he could sense the magic flowing inside Cleo's body. 

It only happened because he both reached a higher level and touched Cleo's avatar at the same time. Tom couldn't stop his mana from leaking out. But now that he could use it, there was nothing stopping him from attempting to absorb it. 

All at once, he pushed his inner energy to its limits. Using the sense that he just discovered by instinct alone, he furiously sucked the mana inside.
