Tears welled up in Raymond's eyes.
As the prospect of imminent death loomed, his last thought wasn't particularly sentimental.
Surprisingly, it centered around the joy derived from treating patients.
His initial realization was that such joy would never be experienced again.
Unexpectedly, his second thought was of King Odin.
'I'm still owed an apology.'
Raymond gritted his teeth.
The source of all his anguish.
His profound trauma.
The person he hated the most!
'Damn it.'
But the train of thought couldn't be sustained.
After a few moments, mana finally began to course into his hands. It was at that moment Raymond recoiled at the peculiar, alien sensation.
[Your strength is woefully inadequate for the skill's rating! The skill's effectiveness will be very, very fatally reduced!]
[Most of your mana will not be absorbed and will evaporate into thin air!]
"...!"
Raymond's eyes widened, tears threatening to spill.
This unexpected message brought a revelation.
Indeed, mana was dissipating into the air, defying absorption into his body.
Like evaporating water, occasional drips of black liquid landed on the mine floor, producing an eerie sound.
'T-thank God...'
Yet, not all the mana had vanished into thin air.
[The fatal inefficiency of the skill causes a ridiculously small percentage of mana to accumulate in the body compared to the amount of mana absorbed!]
Raymond gritted his teeth.
'This is far from small!'
On the surface, a substantial amount of mana flowed into his body, creating the sensation of imminent bursting.
When the sensation reached its peak, Raymond finally succumbed, collapsing in a heap just before his vision succumbed to darkness.
The last things he saw were the messages.
[All mana has been absorbed, ending the use of your skill!]
[You have prevented a great catastrophe under your own power!]
[You have earned the achievement: He Who Averted Catastrophe!]
[You receive a bonus to a great achievement!]
[Gain a bonus level up!]
[Gain a bonus level up!]
[Gain a bonus level up!]
[You have 200 bonus Skill Points!]
[The whole kingdom will praise you for your great deeds!]
On the verge of losing consciousness, Raymond was stunned by the message.
'...What good is such an achievement if I'm going to die?'
His whole body felt like it was going to explode.
Raymond realized.
He was going to die.
