Chapter 68 The Unseen

"That magic you used to weaken their durability—it was extraordinary," Owen continued.

 "Might I ask where you acquired the technique?"

The question caught Gin off guard. 

There was something in Gin's tone that implied an expectation—almost as if he believed such a technique could only be learned through acquisition. 

But how could Gin explain that he had created it himself? For reasons he couldn't quite articulate, revealing the truth didn't feel like the right move.

As Gin hesitated,

 Owen seemed to read his silence as a refusal.

 He chuckled softly. 

"You don't have to answer if it's a sensitive matter. I may have overstepped."

His eyes gleamed with curiosity as he shifted to another question.

 "If there's a durability-weakening spell, I assume there's also a durability-enhancing one?"

Gin nodded slowly.
