Dilan's strength had increased a lot but he was still not done.
He had to increase his strength even further to make sure that he would be able to overcome the third Night Invasion while procuring all the Essence Points he needed in order to pay the transfer fee for both the Miraculous Flower of Opportunity and the Artifact of Traction.
It was necessary to sacrifice something and to give his all to achieve this. Dilan understood that very well, which was also the reason why he ended up using his special trait [Bearer of Pain] once again.
Lifeforce equivalent to 300 Units of his Health was drained from him and converted to 150 Units of mana, replenishing almost everything he had used up before.
After this equivalent exchange, Dilan was left with only a bit more than 40 Health units. This was not a lot and he would die in two minutes because the unsealed Cursed Dagger drained 20 Health units from the wielder every minute.
