Cipher felt that although he could still go on and drain the others' mana completely, winning the battle of attrition, he would burn through too much Demonic Qi, which wouldn't be good.

He summoned a patch card and used it on his Unwavering Will skill.
[Skill: Unwavering Will (B-Rank)]
[Type: Toggle (Passive/Active)]
[Cost: 200 Mana (Active)]
[Description: Passively boosts resistance to mind-related status effects. While active, improves concentration to the maximum for five minutes, resisting all mental disruptions and allowing complete focus.]
Now he wouldn't be mentally exhausted after using the skill.
