Eventually, Jake confird that Frederick and the others got used to fighting the armored giants. However, they all suddenly began to hear the sound of wings flapping quickly approaching… that couldn't be a good sign. After not so long, they found so giant electric bats approaching and then firing Thunder Spears.
"Naturally, those guys would be on their side since this planet is theirs…" Jake thought.
Jake looked behind for a mont and saw a few kiloters away the backline fighting the golems that they had left behind. They were approaching, but not approaching fast enough… Frederick used his earth magic to create earth walls and block the Thunder Spears, and that was working, but then his allies began to miss the power of his magic agaisnt the armored giants.
"I suppose it can't be helped…" Jake thought and then sighed.
Jak jumped with all his might for a mont and then took a deep breath… he already knew how that technique worked, but he wasn't using it the right way, so it might have so problems… Regardless, Jake swung the sword with all his might, firing a single Mana Blade that expanded insanely fast as it flew toward the flying enemies.
When it reached them, the electric bats had no ti to dodge it, and they were destroyed down to atomic levels… in the blink of an eye, Jake recovered all of his mana, but not all the mana he had stored in the sword. The beam of energy illuminated the whole area and drew the attention of everyone in hundreds of kiloters toward the light… it probably had been the largest skill in terms of escape alone they had seen… they also felt that being directly hit by that would an death.
"I guess this should help stir so fear in the hearts of the enemies and make so runaway…" Jake thought when he landed.
Jake thought that the armored giants weren't that smart, but they were paralyzed after seeing the attack… until now, they had fought like they couldn't fear anything, but it seed that it wasn't the case. Still, they weren't the only ones paralyzed.
"What are you waiting for? Keep attacking!" Jake said to his and the other parties.
They probably were thinking that Jake could spam that attack… they couldn't be further from the truth… he would need three tis more mana than his mana pool could store. It was only possible because the sword was too much of a good conductor of mana…
"The analysis of the technique was completed," Virgilius said. "It seems that the more mana you store in it, the more the weapon will be able to affect you and the surroundings. You yourself won't obtain the power to drain the mana from the environnt and from the attacks of others, but the weapon will act like a dark hole of energy once it has enough mana."
"I didn't notice that happening until now, so I guess it will take a lot of energy to reach that level…" Jake said and then charged at the armored giants again.
The enemies ford several lines to increase their defensive power and that made Jake click his tongue in annoyance… with their arms raised like that, they truly looked like a wall. When he thought of targeting their heads or neck, his target changed the position of his arms to horizontally and then blocked the attack… even though Jake hit the enemy's neck and pierced it, he felt a lot more resistance than before.
"The mana dispersion increased by fifty percent," Virgilius declared. "Attacking like before won't cut it. Your allies are also having a hard ti due to it."
"Annoying beasts…" Jake said while considering his options.
"To make your mana gather faster and make it more effective the use, I suggest you to use your dark flas," Virgilius said. "Even at low levels that won't strain your mind, it should be enough to deal with the enemies when they are like this."
Jake was already aware of that, but that would make all of his sin skills work… he was fine in using only the dark flas, but it was sothing beyond his control now… in fact, he was fine using all of the others except his own… the power to take things from others… he truly hated that.
"Commander, I understand your hesitation to use that power," Virgilius said. "You feel like the only thing you have in your life is to take things from others due to that power. Still, you must rember your own words."
"Are you trying to act like my psychiatrist now?" Jake asked. "Anyway, what did I say?"
"The more you live, the more you start to rember only the bad stuff… we usually take the good things for granted, and the bad things like so consecutive strike of bad luck," Virgilius replied. "For the longest ti, you have been blaming yourself for the death of your mother. You think that you took her life when at that ti, you had control over nothing."
Jake sighed… why was he hearing life advice from soone he had just t a few weeks ago? His life sure was ssed up… but he had a point. He didn't want to use his power for the wrong reasons, but what about the right reasons? His allies were struggling to fight the enemies, and more of them were probably coming in… they were doing their best, and yet, he refused to use all of his cards.
"I am already doing plenty for myself, but… I can do better," Jake thought. "I don't have ti, and I don't want to waste more ti here than they have to…"
Jake enhanced his sword with the dark flas, and the flas were a lot more intense than before. Mithril was supposed to be the best conductor for mana, but perhaps it wasn't only for the purest form of energy…
Jake dashed toward the enemies and then swung his sword… cutting in half the targets without any resistance.
