Veer lay on the sea grass, closing his eyes as his whole body reeked of sweat and blood. It had been more than twelve hours since he had begun to practice the Primordial Arcane Forge and he had taken his first break now.
It wasn't because he was exhausted, well he was exhausted but he didn't stop because of that. He had run out of his mana in the twelve hours, which was already a miracle as he didn't expect it to last this long.
As he laid there, he was processing the things he had done in the past twelve hours and going through his mistakes. He had actually managed to get by ten of the Eighteen Mana Veins, making him happy with his progress.
He guessed that it was mostly because of how his body had been constantly improving since the start of his Labyrinth adventure, and had already reached the bottleneck to Ascend to Advance Stage.
But his perseverance also played a huge role, as he had to endure horrible pain while keeping his focus intact.
