The Duke Stole Everything (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 68

The expression of Shukadi, a mage affiliated with the Kroff Mercenary Company, soured slightly.

A constitution impervious to magic was rare.

Generally, mana accumulated in one’s body merely by breathing, making Ren’s condition especially uncommon. It seemed his body was already so saturated with an energy other than mana that it could no longer accept any additional forces.

“So in the end, it’s best I stay away whenever my master is sleeping.”

On the contrary, he appeared displeased—deeply disheartened, in fact.

“It doesn’t even make sense! I didn’t directly cast magic on myself, yet because of my constitution, there’s a gap in the protective spell? I thought it was the Archmage’s magic, but it’s full of flaws.”

Not satisfied with that, he grumbled, acted sullen, was prickly, and even sarcastic.

Shukadi sighed briefly, wearing an incredulous expression.

Only then did he notice Ren’s gaze fixed solely on Sharti. All his disappointment and frustration revolved entirely around her.
