Chapter 40.4 - A test

Just like that, Irina and Sylvie, distracted by their conversation, turned their attention to where Astron was pointing.

To their surprise, a small squirrel made entirely of mana walked gracefully in front of them. The creature's form shimmered with ethereal light, and it seemed to follow a predetermined path through the forest.

"A Mana Formula disguised as a squirrel?" Irina mused, her eyes narrowing as she observed the magical creature. It was quite a sight to see such a complex life form was imitated by a magic formula, meaning they would get a lot more points just from capturing and defusing it.

Sylvie couldn't help but smile. "It's so cute! Can we catch it?"

'Hmm….She is weak to cute things.'

Irina mentally noted seeing Sylvie's reaction and chuckled at her enthusiasm.

"Of course, we can. Remember, the goal is to find these formulas and understand them. Let's work together and capture it without harm-"

SWOOSH!
