Damian was once again trapped in the darkness. His mana armor was slowly being chipped away by the all-absorbing black void. But.. Damian noticed that the mana cubes inside his bulging mana armor were working perfectly—they hadn't stopped functioning like before. The armor was protecting them.
Damian smiled. Half the mana being generated was used to maintain the armor, but there was still enough liquid mana to launch a few spells. The mana cube needed environmental air filled with natural mana to work. It would stop working soon in this abyssal void.
Damian launched a small, body-sized laser beam to preserve mana and flew in one direction. The mana was depleting quickly. Damian thinned his armor but kept it stable. The cubes slowed down and, after a few minutes, stopped working. But the darkness didn't end. Damian couldn't sense anything in the void at all—it blocked all external mana and prevented any from escaping his body.
