BXBX NOVEL Chapter 60: Mana veins
There were over a hundred paths that you could take, but there was something similar about them.
In most of them, you destroy the world and then end up dead, killed by someone you love. I\'ve tried to get a clearer picture of what I\'m seeing, but there is a force blurring out some details.
In most of the futures I see, you become a terrifying dragon, you rip through the planet and destroy all.
The guardians fought by your side and all died, even Lady Elsa. We all fought and died for you, but in the end, you let someone you love end your life.
That is why I want to make this clear to you right now. If you want to lead us, then lead us without emotions, cast aside all those feelings, because I refuse to die for someone who will waver from his course after others have sacrificed for him.
After we die, after we give our lives, the least you can do is carry out the course that killed us. I may not be able to see the details of the future, but I hope that you will listen to what I have said." Lily finished what she had to say and looked forward.
Silva paused, he stared at Lily\'s back as she walked, all sorts of thoughts filled his mind. This was news on a whole different level.
What would make him destroy the world, what would make him risk the lives of all the guardians and still die in the end, and who was the loved one that killed him?
Question upon question filled his mind, but he decided he would not overthink it, there was no point in beating himself over what he barely understood.
He carried the men and followed Lily, but as he was about to enter the torture room she went into, a message came through the system.
[Congratulations on getting some information toward the task given to you by the goddess Ophelia.]
[You are on the right path to understanding your function. 1000 EXP, 500 SP.]
Silva was happy after seeing this, it meant all the things that he had been doing so far were not off track, he had finally made progress as to why the goddess sent him.
With a smile on his face, he walked into the torture room, but that smile immediately changed into shock.
The walls were filled with all sorts of blades and torture equipment, there were also shelves with bottles of chemicals and lots more.
Lily snapped her fingers and the men all started floating, they got suspended mid-air, even the ones that Silva was holding not too long ago.
"Let\'s get started," she said in a calm, clean voice.
One of the men floated down to her side, she undid the spider webs but suppressed the man\'s ability to speak completely.
"Master, do you know what happens when two conflicting Mana meet in the Mana vein of a being?" Lily asked.
"No, not at all, I hardly know about Mana veins in the first place," Silva responded.
"Then I\'ll teach you as we go along," she said and ripped the clothes off the man, leaving him completely naked.
"Mana veins are what carry Mana around the body of a being, your veins develop after your Mana core is fully established.
The Mana that you absorb and also generate is fixed to match your own Mana. Even in the case of Mana deficiency, you have to slowly digest it into the core and then let the core charge it up.
But when the Mana is directly infused into the veins, it collides with the Mana of the person and causes unimaginable pain.
This is also amplified when the person has a very high Mana capacity. I noticed that this particular man has the highest Mana capacity, so I decided to try this method on him.
Now that\'s not all, what I explained to you is what happens when I infuse human Mana, but Fairies tend to have one of the most potent Mana.
And then there is me, who even among fairies still has Mana potency out of their league. What will happen if it is my fully potent Mana that this man gets?" she asked and then infused her Mana into the man.
Right after, the man\'s veins bulged, his body trembled, his eyes went blood red, and his skin turned a deathly purple color.
"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" His screams echoed through the room, he shook violently in pain, but she used magic to restrict the space around him, so as he forcefully shook in pain, he was cracking the space and it was ripping his body all around.
Still, his voice didn\'t come down, he yelled and yelled, writhing in pain, his blood poured from all the wounds, pooling on the ground.
Black, thick blood seeped out of his mouth, nose, and eyes, even the pores of his skin started bleeding.
He shook and screamed until his voice sounded like a wild goat, a puddle of blood and vomit formed under him, he even pissed and shat himself right on the spot.
Silva watched this horrendous scene, amazed by how brutal and ruthless this cute-looking fairy girl was. Even with all the pain that this man was going through, not once did her face flinch, there was only a slight smile on her face that had been there since the beginning.
She finally stopped infusing, giving the man a moment of peace, but at this point, he started to look more dead than alive.
"You see, Master, when the Mana infused is as potent as mine, the pain caused can break the mind in seconds," Lily said.
