Lord Of Mana Chapter 17: Release Date, Spoilers & Where to Read

Lord Of Mana Chapter 17 will be the latest installment in the Fantasy Action Adventure Isekai Manhwa. The story follows the life of an unnamed Korean Soldier turned hunter as he tries to traverse his new reality.

The world went through a dungeon-break scenario, and superpowered beings known as the awakened emerged to protect humanity. Our protagonist is one such awakened. However, he was unable to awaken fully, which made him unable to sense, gather, or use Mana. He learned how to make do with what he got.

Due to his inability to use mana, he tries very hard not to be a burden and is willing to do anything if it means he will be able to increase his affinity for mana even by a little. It was one such mission that led to his re-awakening.

Dungeon Defense Chapter 43: Release Date, Plot, and Where to Read

He was participating in a level 6 Dungeon where a giant appeared. Giants are notorious for being one of the hardest monsters to defeat. His entire party was wiped out by the beast while he was severely injured. However, using his last bit of energy, he was able to defeat the Giant.

After defeating the Giant, he saw a notification window that said that he had completed the tutorial and would now be transported to the main continent, The Continent of Panthea. That wasn’t all. Our Protagonist seems to have woken up in the body of another.

Even though they look similar, they are very different people. He was now living the life of Ian Ignis. Ian’s memories began filling up his head. The Ignis Family was betrayed by the crown prince, and Ian is the sole survivor of his onslaught.

Ian joined the military in hopes of building himself up from the bottom so he could establish the Ignis Family to its former glory and take revenge against the Crown Prince. Our Protagonist was moved by his resolve and decided to help him in his mission as his mission to become the strongest and Ian’s mission for revenge coincided.

Ian soon found out that he could sense mana now. Not just that, he can now see, absorb and even listen to mana. He got himself assigned to the Devil’s Platoon to further hone his skills and is on his way to becoming the strongest.

Lord Of Mana Manhwa Recap

Ian was asked to collect the left ears of 10 Orcs in a week if he was to be acknowledged as an official member of the Devil’s Platoon. On his first day of collecting Orc ears, he came across a Dark Mage trying to exchange a little girl in exchange for ingredients.

Ian rescued the girl but was unable to capture the culprit. The girl was revealed to belong to the Green Orcs Village. After visiting the village, they found out that the dark mage visited them and kidnapped several people.

Ian using his skills, listened to Mana, who was happy to help him. They told him where the Dark Mage was hiding. Ian, along with Jamie and Jason, went to the place. There Ian found the secret mechanism that led them to the Dark Mage’s lair.

There were several strong enemies there. Ian unlocked his sword aura and was able to defeat them. The Dark Mage showed himself and the duo fight. In their fight, the Dark Mage said that Ian possessed Dragon’s Blood. The very thing the mage was trying to find all this time.

Ian tried to come to a compromise. He promised to give the mage some of his blood to study in exchange, and he should help him understand what other abilities his alleged “Dragon Blood” contains.

This was just a ruse to buy some time for his mana to build up. The Mana was extremely displeased with the mage and temporarily gave Ian full control of it. With its entire might behind him, Ian goes to attack the mage.

Lord Of Mana Chapter 17 Spoilers & Predictions

We got to see a lot more of Ian’s abilities in the last chapter. He was given access to command mana to his liking, which is not an easy feat. Even though it’s amazing it might come with some drawbacks. His body might not be equipped to control such vast amounts of mana for long periods. That being said, it doesn’t look like he needs a lot of time to defeat the dark mage.

We also got to know that Ian has Dragon’s Blood. It wasn’t mentioned anywhere before. But I do remember seeing a Dragon just before the protagonist was transported to The Continent of Panthea. That dragon must have been a God of some kind and blessed Ian with his attribute before he was sent to Panthea. Hopefully, Ian will be able to learn more about these abilities in the coming chapters.
