The effects of his everyday training, the【Strengthen Followers】skill and the Magic Item wouldn’t decrease in effectiveness over time, but the effects of the supportive spells would wear off. To prevent that, the caster has to re-cast the spell, but Mana was not unlimited.

「Now then, I’ll replenish your Mana.【Spirit Form Transformation.】」

This was where Vandalieu, who possessed a near-infinite amount of Mana, came in. He used【Spirit Form Transformation】on both of his hands, which branched out like the roots of a plant to connect to the bodies of the male and female mages, including Zadiris.

「Kuh…」

「Ngh…」

「Aah!」

Small voices rose up here and there… and one large moan, followed by heavy breathing. Putting that last sound out of his mind, Vandalieu released the no-attribute magic that he learned in Zadiris’s village.

「【Mana Transfer.】」

The most useless spell among no-attribute magic spells. Mana Transfer.

It is a spell that transfers colorless Mana that has not been stained with any element’s color to the target, and at first glance, it seems very useful. However, during the transfer process, most of the Mana is wasted.

The efficiency of Mana transfer can be increased based on the caster’s relationship with the target, the caster’s mental state, magical compatibility between the caster and target, the race of the target and so on, but on average, it is about five percent. There have been recorded cases where twins who trusted each other and had good magical compatibility with each other produced more Mana than the originally supplied amount, with a transfer rate of a hundred and twenty percent. But there were many cases where the amount of Mana transferred was less than the starting amount.

And currently, there were no discovered methods to consciously increase the transfer efficiency.

For this reason, it is very often more effective to use one’s own Mana, rather than transferring it to someone else. If a hundred Mana is spent to transfer only five Mana, this is the natural conclusion.

However, Vandalieu possessed over 100,000,000 Mana.

To transfer a hundred Mana, he would spend two thousand. To transfer a thousand Mana, he would spend twenty thousand. To transfer ten thousand Mana, he would spend two hundred thousand. He possessed an amount of Mana so great that he wouldn’t hesitate to do this.

「This is the Mana version of burning money to create light.」

「Boy, I do not think that one can burn gold and silver coins… Well, anyway. Everyone, use the Mana that the boy has given you to your heart’s content!」

「Yes! Here we go, everybody!」

「I’m overflowiiiing!」

And so the Ghoul mages whose Mana had been replenished and the warriors who were guarding them pressed forward after the group who had charged in first. Vandalieu saw them off before clambering aboard Sam, who had been on standby at his side.
