BXBX NOVEL Chapter 889: Creating A Mana Core
It was relaxing, and my body didn\'t feel tired anymore, so I simply tried to wake up and walk out of the bed to take a warm bath and start a new day.
Even after what I did yesterday, there was a lot to do left. Training my siblings and their familiars as much as possible was one of them.
And also evolve Ruby and Blood, the two Familiars we\'ve raised with Eleanora. If Ruby evolves, I can harness more Draconic Power out of our connection, and if Blood evolves, Eleanora gets a stronger ride.
Though, now that I have Ranked Up enough, perhaps finally crystalizing a Mana Core should be the way to go! I need as much Mana as possible; the bonus Mana Familiars give to me is not endless either, or it always depends on the Spirit Orbs at hand.
I do have Mana Potions and the like to restore more Mana, but the more I consume over a short amount of time, the sicker I get.
Therefore, making my foundation of Mana even larger is a must, and using the knowledge of the Ancient Arch Wizards of the Outside Universe, this shouldn\'t be too hard now that my total Mana has reached a high enough amount.
If I take into consideration all bonuses, from equipment, skills, and familiar bonus stats, I should have over a million Mana or so, and even then, it feels like not enough!
"Alright, time to grow even stronger- Huh?"
However, before I could even stand out of my bed, I quickly realized the perilous situation I was on right now. Erika had sneaked into the bed and so did Elizabeth, both girls were tightly grabbing my arms while sleeping leisurely.
Lastly, Eleanora was sleeping over my entire body, pressing down with her even higher muscles and weight after her recent evolution… And that\'s without considering Saphira that was between me and Elizabeth.
I understand they care about me and appreciate me, but this is a bit too much now. Will I have to suffer this destiny every morning I wake up?
"It seems Master is going through some strange problems." The voice of an alien companion echoed, as the shadows in front of the bed changed shape, revealing the figure of Arka, clicking his mandibles. "Should I use Umbrakinesis to free you from your maiden\'s love? I have studied enough about these emotions you undergo…"
He has definitely become more understandable than before, that was surprising…
"I can… Free myself, thank you though, Arka." I sighed. "Where is Azahuk?"
"He\'s still inside the Spiritual Realm." Said Arka. "He said something about wanting his own lair where he could conduct experiments on live caught spirit beasts… He plans to increase the size of your army, it seems."
"Huh…" I wondered, thinking about it slightly deeply. "Well, as long as he\'s not harming anybody, I don\'t mind him… Did Hendrick join him?"
"Naturally, both clicked right away." Arka said with a methodical voice, as if he didn\'t had emotions but was trying his best to act as if he understood them. "Master, it seems you cannot free yourself no matter how hard you try."
"I can see that, Arka…" I sighed in frustration, trying to free myself from these girl\'s embrace was harder than I imagined. "Ugh, okay, help me out."
"Very well." He said, clicking his mandibles again as he shrouded my body in shadows and then teleported me to his side through Shadow Shifting, one of his Umbrakinesis Techniques.
FLAAASH!
"There you go, master." He said, looking at me rather intensively, his giant jaws were constantly drooling, a natural part of his body which was sadly copied into his spirit form.
"Thank you, Arka." I sighed in relief, stretching my arms and legs. "A human body is sure frail. I remember when it was even frailer. I\'ve been working constantly to become stronger since then. It is good to have you at my side, Arka. I do have a small job for you now."
"Oh? What is it? I will do it with the best of my capabilities." He said with an emotionless voice, yet his tail was waging with excitement.
"Nothing regarding killing though." I said, as I dropped those words, his tail fell. "Meld in the shadows and watch over the village for the next hour. I want you to familiarize with the people, make sure to watch the nobles closely."
"I understand. May I ask why?" He asked.
"I want you to familiarize with this world and get used to the light." I said. "Also, the nobles are suspicious, if not slightly so. I need to know what they might be up to. You\'re a spirit, no longer a true Metamorph, it means you shouldn\'t be weak to the light as much as you complained about."
"I see." He nodded. "Understood."
FLUOSH!
He disappeared amidst the enshrouding darkness, finally leaving me to my own devices. I mostly made him do this so he would leave and have something to do for the next hour or so.
I need these ruthless and evil aliens to calm down and let their minds develop more, they are too fixated to destruction and killing, I know that it was within their nature, but now that they have become Spirits, they should be able to learn new things without being stopped by their own bodies\' instincts and genes.
In resume, they\'re now capable of becoming more than what they used to be. It is not just because I have "grown soft" but it is also because the key to become stronger is to open your mind and understand the world around you much better.
Now, onto the important matters, time to create a Mana Core. The process shouldn\'t be too painful, but it is rather stressful.
I walked to the backyard to do this in silence and peace, channeling my Mana within my body and slowly beginning to harness it within my chest.
And slowly crystalize it!
FLAAASH!
