Damian flew above, using his mana liquid container to examine the entire sword in detail. The metal was scorching hot in this heat, so he didn't touch it, but from its appearance and color alone, it seemed different from adamantite. It was something else entirely.
Reusing metal already imbued with runic spells was not ideal. No matter how thoroughly one melted it, residual mana nodes from previous use would always remain, preventing it from achieving its original, perfect rank. Still, if even repurposed, this metal was stronger than steel—it was truly powerful stuff.
For a moment, Damian considered using the mana liquid to power the entire sword, but he quickly curbed his enthusiasm. Wasting such a vast amount of mana liquid and leaving himself vulnerable among so many powerful third-rankers was not an ideal thing to do. If he were alone with friends, he might have tested it—perhaps even get free spells people of this world used.
