The Head Butler's years of experience and mastery over mana manipulation guided him in this moment of unprecedented strain. Recognizing the futility of attempting to absorb the entirety of the potion's energy, he prioritized survival and preservation of his mana core.
Carefully, though not without difficulty, he allowed his core to absorb only as much as it could safely handle—a mere forty percent of the potion's potent energy. The remaining sixty percent, however, was dispersed throughout his body, flooding his mana veins in an uncontrolled torrent.
This choice, though strategic, was not without consequences. The Head Butler knew full well the risks of such an action. The foreign mana now coursing through his veins was relentless, seeping into his system with no regard for its destructive potential.
