After focusing every corner of his Poem-strengthened mind on recovering mana, Alec somehow got his heart to start beating again.
'I…need to do something about that,' He thought to himself while breathing heavily, his hand on his chest to feel his pulse.
It wasn't even just because he was vulnerable as soon as he used a little too much mana. It was because it was a design flaw in the Heartguard he had created. He couldn't call this a finished product. It would be like writing a book with a huge plothole in the middle that never gets addressed or cleared up.
He did not like that kind of stuff.
But he was at a loss for how to fix it. So, he set the thoughts on it aside for the moment. He could endure it temporarily by just increasing how much mana he had.
Instead, he focused on the monster in the cell.
