After perfecting her control over the shadow energy outside her body, Michelle started retracting her shadow essence from it.
But whenever she retracted just a tiny bit, her control would get worse.
So she had to stop and focus on perfecting the control again every time.
It took a long time, about five days, but Michelle was able to reach the point when even though none of her shadow essence remained within the foreign shadow essence, she was able to retain her control over it.
But it was extremely mentally taxing. She could barely make it change shape as she wished.
Seeing that, Alexander smiled lazily. "From now on, you have to keep that cloud around all the time while I give you new tasks."
Michelle moved her purple eyes towards Alexander. She was so mentally spent, she couldn't even come up with an argument to retort. She hated that.
Alexander could guess that, but he didn't mind. With a careless smile, he used a skill.
