Power Of A Rune

[Ace POV],

I took a second look at the sowhat dense trees surrounding before settling on the tree in front of as my target.

It was a little bit larger than the other trees, but because most of the objects in my imdiate vicinity were still trees, it didn't really matter what I chose to use as a target for my tests.

As I considered these factors, I made the decision to test the bone dagger's edge first.

Without giving the idea any more thought, I pushed off with my leg and sprang toward the tree trunk I had chosen as my target.

I didn't do this to use it as a lever or a place to stay; instead, I did it to check whether I could chop it off with the bone dagger I was holding. This idea crossed my mind as I slashed at the tree trunk with the dagger in my hand.

Instead of encountering the pressure and resistance I had anticipated, my bone dagger cut through the tree trunk like a hot knife through butter.

The outco was unexpected, and I briefly beca distracted in midair before coming to my senses. Thankfully, I was able to manage my body in midair to adjust myself in order to land on the ground and avoid getting into an uncomfortable situation.

I descended to the ground and made my way to the tree trunk I had severed from the tree, which was now lying on the ground.

As I approached the tree trunk, I ran my fingers along its surface and discovered that it was unusually smooth, which was unexpected again because I had anticipated at least a few rough edges.

My response might appear a touch over the top right now, but it wasn't.

The trees in the true world and the alternate dinsion cannot be compared to the ones in the past world we previously knew.

Because of the main distinction between them, magic, these trees were stronger, more resilient, and more than ten tis better than any of the trees in the old world we knew could compare.

Mana was so amazing that even the most commonplace things it affected may have their characteristics altered and evolved into a much better version of themselves.

It wasn't a stretch to argue that if this specific tree truck's wood was processed, it could eventually be used as a weapon.

The dagger would still be able to cut through the tree trunk, but for this reason, I was bracing myself for so form of resistance.

Well, I could still know the bone dagger was sharp even if I couldn't tell how sharp it could possibly be.

It was ti to put to the test the rune's effect, which was the key feature of the bone dagger and what made it precious.

The basic rune 'ASB#' which was intended to absorb, is the rune inscribed on the bone dagger.

The absorb rune ('ASB#') is actually a passive rune that activates on its own when a specific condition is satisfied rather than requiring one to actively try to activate it with mana.

The only requirent is to co into contact with mana, whether it be by a spell or another kind of magical attack as long as it has sothing to do with mana.

The only thing I could do, though, because I couldn't exactly launch a magical attack against myself, was to produce sothing for the bone dagger to absorb. This was simple because all I had to do was release the mana within my body to the outside.

As soon as this thought crossed my mind, I began frantically to circulate my mana throughout my body, but I failed to recall that I now had two elents, which led to the unexpected events that followed.

I was ready to quit moving mana through my body as I stared at the blue magma that had begun to erge from the earth nearby when I abruptly stopped when an idea struck . Since it was exactly what I needed right then, I decided to act on it.

I crouched down and turned to look at the runic dagger in my hand, deciding to take this as an opportunity to also test the dagger's toughness as the blue magma started to accumulate in a spot to form a pool-like hole.

I placed the dagger I was holding into the magma pool while keeping this in mind, and as soon as it made contact with the accidentally created magma from a combination of my components, I experienced two responses.

One was that I sensed my mana being sucked away as the magma pool began to visibly evaporate, and the other was that the runic bone dagger began to radiate a yellowish-brown light.

Observing this helped to understand what was happening.

If I'm not mistaken, it appears that the magma is being absorbed by the bone dagger, which was a manifestation of my elental mana given how it seed given the declining magma pool.

And since I haven't ceased circulating the mana in my body, the reason why my mana was being sucked off was presumably that the magma that was dropping was still being filled up.

Observing this, I made the decision to speed up the circulation of mana throughout my body to enhance the amount of magma that was being regenerated.

The bone dagger then began to emanate a stronger light and began to madly absorb the magma I was creating.

Seeing this prompted to intensify my activities to test the runic bone dagger absorption limit, as the bone dagger emitted a brighter light and absorbed the magma voraciously in response to my efforts.

This went on for a few more seconds before I experienced another reaction, this ti purely from the bone dagger.

And the response I received was that it was full.
