101 Trust

After Amelia applied a bottle full of healing potion to Quinn's wounds and bruises, she walked up to me and stood behind me.

Meanwhile, I too applied some of the healing potion to the area where Quinn had stabbed me earlier.

It took around five minutes for the effects of Embrace Discard to die down, and all my stats returned to normal.

The duration for which one can maintain the effects of Embrace Discard is directly proportional to their mana core rank.

Someone with a stronger mana core like Nero would be able to maintain his boosted stats for a long time. 

However, there was a side effect of using Embrace Discard that I experienced but wasn't mentioned in the novel - executing pain.

The pain was anguishing.

It felt like every muscle fiber in my body was being ripped asunder while every bone in my body cried out in agony.
