Kyle placed his hand on the shrine, allowing his mana to flow outward in an attempt to sense what lay beneath its surface.
At first, he felt nothing.
The structure seemed like an ordinary, half-burned ruin, but as he concentrated, he realized that something was interfering with his senses.
A barrier.
It was incredibly well-crafted—so much so that it had even concealed itself from Kyle's initial detection. His eyes narrowed.
Whoever had placed it here had to be a master of mana control, far beyond what he had encountered so far.
Kyle pushed his mana further, testing the intricate web of energy that formed the barrier.
The moment he did, a notification from his system rang in his mind.
[Your understanding of mana techniques has greatly improved.
Mana Control has evolved to Level 4.
New skill unlocked: Barrier Arts (Level 1).]
Kyle smirked.
This was an interesting gain, but he set it aside for now. He needed to focus on what was inside the shrine.
