It's been a while!

Despite not knowing what exactly the content of the secret page within the Control of the Ancient Monarch manual was, Nial could tell that it would help him accelerate the creation process of his first Origin ring.

Even if it wouldn't be helpful in a direct sense, at the very least his improved control over mana would allow him to absorb, annex, and liquefy mana.

The creation of the Origin ring would be much easier with a higher proficiency in wielding mana, which was why reaching a perfect mastery over the Control of the Ancient Monarch's technique was something Nial had to do either way.

With that in mind, he spent several days practicing the Control of the Ancient Monarch technique. Nial had read through it more than a dozen times and every single word of the entire manual was imprinted in his mind.
