The Goal Is Near

Chiron came out of the Shadow Pool. He walked over to Mani and looked over him. Mani was a complete mess of blood, broken bones and cuts that filled his body, making him look like a bee hive. 

"Nice! That was a really good show!" Chiron chuckled.

Chiron squat close to Mani. He could see in Mani's eyes that he was still alive, but this was not Chiron's problem.

Because of the use of that technique, Mani was now in a half-alive state.

Normally, Mani could have used the technique and even taken his enemy's strength.

However, the mirror egg was an incredible artefact.

The mirror egg fed on Divine energy, coincidentally, the Runes on the body of a godchild were divine.

This meant that the blue rune on Mani's chest was just food for the mirror egg.

However, just to be sure, Chiron tore his shirt open

And there it was.

The blue rune glowed in a faint blue light. Obviously, it had been exhausted.
