Malrik stroked his chin, falling into deep thought. Noan was a bit surprised by this: "You… don't want it?"
Malrik shook his head and replied, "Master, you may think that accepting a new source of energy is a simple thing, but for me, it's different."
"Basically, accepting a new energy source is extremely dangerous for anyone. It could even put your life at risk."
"It's like smashing apart everything you've built, and then trying to rebuild it all from scratch in a very short period of time."
"That's why, for now, I can't accept a new source of energy from you."
Hearing this, Noan nodded lightly, but then his gaze shifted toward Vylyss.
Vylyss had accepted the new energy from him; she must have endured excruciating pain that he had never realized.
'Perhaps both Vylyss and Austin felt the same thing—pain.' Noan shook his head and sighed.
Because his own process of absorbing new energy had been so smooth, he had thought others wouldn't be affected much either.
