Alex's circuit was garbage. It barely broke down anything. Instead, due to the massive resistance, it produced vast amounts of Recoil Energy.
But that was the trick.
Breaking down normal magical power yields a 1:1 ratio of mana. Breaking down Recoil Energy yields a 1:1000 ratio.
This was the fundamental reason why Demonic Humans in the game lore were so terrifyingly strong. They ran on pain and recoil. It was a realm of power that could never be reached with human-level resonance.
"Nnnggghhh...!"
My teeth clenched so hard I thought they would crack.
As excruciating pain spread throughout my body, tearing at my nerves, I could feel a terrifying amount of mana building up in my muscles. It wasn't the gentle flow of a mage; it was a raging river.
One second.Two seconds.
The heat was unbearable. My skin turned red.
Two point five...
"Stop!"
I cut the mana flow just before the 3-second time limit ended.
SNAP.
