Mana Range (Chapter 153)

The Blood Tower’s outpost in the eastern plains was at least 10 km away.

Basic message magic wouldn’t reach that far.

Oscar crossed one leg over the other and asked,

"Iris Stella. If you push your mana to its limit, how far does your influence extend?"

"…About 800 meters."

Gasps of admiration echoed around them.

For a 4th-level mage, that was quite a wide range.

"Not bad."

"…Not bad?"

Iris frowned.

She prided herself on her exceptional mana detection and range.

"What’s your range, then?"

She shot back defiantly.

Oscar tilted his head in thought.

"Hmm. I’ve never measured it exactly, but let’s see…"

At that moment, mana poured from his body.

Like an unraveling spool of thread, it expanded in all directions.

It surged outward at an astonishing speed, stopping only after reaching the southern region.

"Ah."

Oscar let out a sigh of disappointment.

Back in his prime, he could have covered an even greater distance.

"…You…"

Watching his mana spread endlessly, Iris asked in a trembling voice,

"Just how far is your range?"

"Hmm. Right now…"

As he calculated, the vast mana field continued to extend southward.

Oscar, having finished his calculations, responded.

"Approximately a 13 km radius?"

"……."

"……."

A long silence filled the VIP room.

Dozens of screens were displayed before them, but everyone's gaze was fixed on just one.

Oscar Crucian.

It was impossible to look away from the brilliance of the young genius.

"This is absurd."

Kudel Redmane let out a hollow laugh.

A child of that age could cover a 13 km radius with magic?

That could only mean one thing.

'That entire area is within the palm of the White Tower brat's hand.'

Unless he allowed it, his enemies couldn’t even approach unnoticed.
