"…Wait."
He turned back to Owen, who was following behind lazily.
"What if I don't just absorb the remaining life energy like mist, but… break the whole body down into pure mana dust? What if I can turn the corpse into something my core can eat completely?"
Owen bounced once, confused. "You mean… turn the body into dust?"
"Not just dust. Mana dust," Axelius corrected, "If everything in a living being contains some kind of mana trace, then a dead body should still have some pieces left. What if I burn the rest into raw mana?"
"That's… not how to do Life Convergence," Owen replied,
Axelius smirked. "Exactly. no one didn't say I can't try, did it?"
"No, but… you might explode or something."
Axelius shrugged. "I've done worse."
