"Ngh..." Lena groans as she opens her eyes. Her long hair spreads across the pillow.
A familiar roof stands before her and a wave of relief washes over her.
"I-I'm alive..." she mumbles.
Lena tries to pull herself up until a servant outside sees her and stops her. Her body is too weak.
The monster's strike barely missed her heart but punctured her lungs. The elf's healing patched up the wound but her body hasn't recovered.
"Ma'am, don't move too much!" a maid insists.
Lena nods with a smile.
Then, she realises something is off. Her smile fades away.
"I...what," she mumbles.
A special ability that only a mage can develop is to detect mana near. It's not a skill like the one gained from a Fairy's Blessing but more of an instinct.
However, Lena no longer feels anything. Not even a drop of mana.
=================================
Mages and workers alike are trying their best to erect tall rocky structures outside the broken gate of Chael. The structure funnels into the broken gate, protecting everything except for the "vulnerability".
I supervise their work standing on top of the inner curtain wall.
The walls facing outwards are coated with magic arrays that reduce the wall's friction. I test it by running my finger across it and my hand slides by easily as if I am touching ice.
In addition, they start to dig a deep trench surrounding the wall and fill it with water.
Buildings near the gate are being demolished and many ditches as tall as a human replaces.

T1 Defence Potion Absorbed.
Absorption rate: 100%
+3 Def stats
---------------------
I pop another vial of green liquid out of my coat and gulp it. Tier 1 Defence and Dexterity potions have the same description as the Attack one with a limit of 30 stats.
"Ugh...damn it..." I groan and use the wall as support. That is my 6th vial of potion and I'm starting to get used to it. My muscles are jacked by this "legal" doping with no long-term consequences. If I somehow get the formula and return to my original world, gyms would not exist.
However, I notice every worker near has been mumbling and staring at me. I ignored it thinking it must be about my reputation. When I tried to question some workers, they try to wheeze their way out of the conversation quickly and leave politely.
...
Hmm...
---------------------
Mana sense(lvl 1)
A mythical sense of the higher life forms.
Detection of, control and affinity with Mana greatly increase.
---------------------
I close my eyes and try to gather mana within my ears;
A thread of mana forms.
*HWIWISKSKSKDJJZJSKAOZLLAPPSOLSS*
!!!
"ACK!?"
A haphazard barrage of sound explosions burst into my ear. I quickly cover my ears and dissipate the mana.
"Okay...huff...too much mana...how about a little bit..." I mumble.
I try again, closing my eyes. This time a thinner thread of mana forms.
