"What? You didn't feel any magic at all?" Cipher asked in surprise.
Iris nodded.
"I suppose it's not that surprising," he thought. After all, his cheats didn't consume mana to activate, so he supposed it was fair to assume they didn't use mana. Then how did they work?
His eyes widened.
"~Does it..." he began, but the Heavenly Demon responded before he could complete the question.
[No need to worry. There is no energy similar to a god's in you] she said.
Cipher sighed in relief upon hearing this. The Heavenly Demon, however, held her chin in thought. "That being said, this energy does resonate deeply with something inside me. But what is it?" she thought.
A few minutes later, Iris looked down in disappointment. "I still can't sense it. Maybe it's just too high level for me."
Cipher placed his hand on her shoulder. "No need to feel down. We're still not out of options yet."
"You think so? We've tried everything..." she said.
