The moment Alex touched the bonsai-like tree, his perception of the world shifted.
Where once he saw mana, he now saw Runes.
It was as though a veil had been torn away, revealing a deeper truth.
A massive runic formation unveiled itself before his eyes—so vast that it encompassed the entire cave system of the mine. Unlike typical formations crafted by Array Masters, this circle didn't feel technical or mechanical.
It felt… alive.
Spiritual.
Its structure shifted between a perfect circle and the serpentine shape of a Dragon. There was something primal about it—something beyond mortal design.
'So this was a natural mana-gathering formation…' Realisation dawned on Alex.
This ancient runic construct was responsible for concentrating ambient mana from the surrounding mountain region into this very location. The dragon's lair, reinforced by mana-restraining rock, served as a natural reservoir.
And at the heart of it all was the Dragon's corpse.
