Axel forced Teruria to tell him what happened. But after he did, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming.
"So..." He summarized with a hand to his forehead. "To ensure I survived the Mana Overload, you were forced to use that Witch's Kiss or something on me, is that it?"
"Exactly~!"
Teruria nodded energetically.
"And thanks to that, the two of us now share the same mana pool~!"
"...What?"
"Ah, let me explain that too!"
The covenant through the Witch's Kiss was something meant to help each other out, not simply a proof of each other's trust, but also of everlasting commitment. And as they use a modified mana combined with vitality, the sharing of mana pools is basically sharing one's lifeforce with the other for witches.
Of course, that's the case only if it's a covenant between witches. But Axel was neither a witch nor a warlock. He was a human. His mana was not mixed with vitality or anything, just pure and unfiltered.
