Mana. It resides in both monsters and humans.

In our country, the mana released from dead creatures was sealed in a sealing stone and used as currency.

The value of the sealing stone is determined according to the capacity of the mana it contains.

That kind of thing.

Then.

Can't you extract mana from your own body and use it as currency?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There were people who tried to do something like that, but...

Basically, it is impossible.

If a living person's mana is sealed in a seiryoku (sealing stone).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As long as that person is alive, it becomes a different stone with a unique radiance that is different from that of a normal seiryoku stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sealing stone in that state is called a "kizuna stone. The connection with the main body will not disappear as long as the main body is alive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And the "mana of a living person in the Kizuna Stone" cannot be used as currency.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Instead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There is another use for the Kizuna Stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When going to the danger zone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You can leave a Kizuna Stone containing your mana with someone in a safe zone.

By doing so.

When you are exploring a dungeon for a long period of time, those who are outside will be able to know if those who are under the dungeon are still challenging or if they are already dead.

The glow of the kizuna stone disappears.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When it becomes just a sealing stone with mana, that is when the person who put mana into the stone is dead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We are.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We left each mana-filled Kizuna stone with Mitra at the orphanage and departed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Loloi seemed to have never done this before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He looked at the Kizuna stone with his mana in it with great interest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Burgess tried to hand it to Mitra, whispering words of love to her, but Chris took it from her and handed it to her via Chris.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'What's the point of giving it to her if she's blind?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I asked Mitra, impudent but important.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She said, "Yes. Because I am blind, I have the power to sense the mana around me.... I know exactly which Kizuna stone belongs to whom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Burgess, Loloi, and myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We were strangers to Mitra, almost completely unrelated to each other.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If Mitra can sense the brilliance of Chris's Kizuna Stone, that's all that matters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

By the way.

When we left Yak village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I exchanged Kizuna stones with Archana, which contained our mana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So if something happens to me. Arcana will be able to feel it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's obvious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
