Mana Core
After that incident of Meeting Oliver's Human Party Members, Lay and Sophia, We all started to talking. The Lay and Sophia told me about their travels around this world, and how their adventuring used to be.
Sophia and Lay are nice people. They Didn't see any of us Monsters and Demons with a disgusted look on their faces. they Treated us like their family and friends.
Oliver Told about me to lay and Sophia. As, I am the Only Golden Dragon that is Left in the entire World, and I am too powerful for my own good, and things like that.
Well, I definitely thought they would be so excited and somewhat surprised, but, they seemed to be calm and collective.
Everyone thought about the Exciting on me, but, They started to think about the situation carefully. Like, if an Holy church know about my birth, they would definitely attack the Great Forest of Silvanus and the Village here.
I started to Fear, About this Place, Not about me. Even If I die, It wouldn't matter much, but These People who took care of me and respected me, What did they do to die?
So, I'm really starting to think about leaving this place and go on an Adventure around this world.
When We were Talking, Sophia and Lay also Mentioned they Don't have a baby yet. But, judging by their looks, I think they Didn't have a baby for so long.
Man, I really envy the baby ought to be Born to the both Both of them someday. It's really hurts when you think, you Don't have Parents, not once, twice. It's been like that for me since my past life.
Yeah! my parents threw me on to the trash, when I was a Kid, and In this Life, I am the only one of the species still living. ha! I think I have been cursed by the Gods to not to have love of the parents.
Lay looks mature and kind, And Sophia is lovely, gentle and has a Mother's Feel. If I Should choose the Parents from this world, I would definitely choose Lay and Sophia, cz, they are the best I could ever think of.
later that day at night,
Sophia and Lay came to my temporary hut, Oliver and his Grandfather Leviathan, gave me to stay.
They both Told me that, they wanted to teach me Magic and Swordsmanship.
Lay's one of the few knights in this world, and still had the status as a noble. While, Sophia on the Other hand, Is a Court magician who spent more Time to researching on magic, And now, Adventuring alongside with her husband on discovering mysteries of the World, on the King's Order.
Well, I also need teachers to learn one or two things from them, And More importantly, the Sword play, as My Blood Nexus Weapon is a Saber Katana....I guess.
Well, Now I have some what figured out what is Blood Nexus Weapons are.
people are able to materialize their Blood as a weapon referred to as Blood Nexus Weapons.
Lay Asked Me that, "Aiden, Can You tell me what is Your blood Nexus Weapon is?".
"Ah, sure" I replied him that, as I didn't exactly explain about my unique saber katana.
I summoned My Sword inside my body with the Spell "Igris".
Summoning the blood nexus Weapon in the demonic stage can be done without chants, but, Unlike Magic, I need to use this Word to summon my Sword. Oh yeah, It is also the way that the Humans use.
Lay and Sophia's eyes lit up on seeing my sword.
"ah..Aiden, What is the Name of this Weapon exactly?" Sophia asked.
I think it would be a bit of Trouble on saying this Weapon's name, I will just create a new name for it myself.
I replied as, "This Sword's name is Igris!". I couldn't think anything better than that, so, I might as well give it's own Chant's name.
After Hearing that name, their reactions were slowed and calmed.
Woah! I think it is really that serious.
Well, I wouldn't dare to say the name of this sword to anyone. hahah!
And with that, it's decided that in the morning, it'll be Sophia's lessons, and in the afternoon, it'll be swordsmanship studies under Lay.
...
It's Already been 2 weeks, since Mom and dad...Oh, Sorry, I started to call lay and Sophia as Mom and dad. I don't know but, I just started to call them that, and they also seemed to like me and even became as my real parents.
Well, I am happy that, there are even the people, who cares about me.
Anyways, it's been 2 weeks since Mom and dad started to teach me Magic and Sword play.
Mom told me about the Mana Core cultivation. The Stages are given below.
1. Black Core | None
2. Red Core | Dark Stage - Solid Stage - Light Stage
3. Orange Core | Dark Stage - Solid Stage - Light Stage
4. Yellow Core | Dark Stage - Solid Stage - Light Stage
5. Silver Core | Initial Stage - Mid Stage - High Stage
6. White Core | None
A Mana Core is classified into six colors: black, red, orange, yellow, silver, and white. One's mana color starts off as black, due to the body's blood and other impurities mixed with the mana particles as they form together into a mana core. Each stage of the mana core colors is split into three shades(dark, solid, and light), except silver which is split into initial, mid and high and white core which does not have stages. In general, the lighter the mana core color, the purer one's mana core was. Therefore there was more power one could have access to. Even the Developing of Mana Core results in the Developing of your Blood nexus Weapons. The mana core becomes purer as impurities are filtered out over time, with the stages for each color being dark, solid, and light. The colors of the mana core include Black, Red, Orange, Yellow, Silver, and White.
Mom doubted that, a Demon could do that, as only the Pure bloods like the elves, Dwarves, and the humans could Condense Mana core in their Body.
But, I never gave up. I tried and tried, I had been constantly trying to gather the little bits of mana spread out in my body and focus it in an attempt to form a mana core . Let me tell you, it was a slow and arduous task . this body is very strong, trying to will my mana core to condense . which lead me to evolve into the Dragonoid. But, I am not completely Condensed the core Yet, haha!
[Notice: Dragon's Body is Fully Evolved into Dragonoid]
Haha! Well, See, This is my recent Improvement. I have successfully became a Dragonoid.
Now, I have become a Dragonoid, I can control the Nine elements of the Nature, Completely, than before. and all my skills and Levels are Maxed out.
Its really cool that I can Control all the Major and Minor elements of the nature.
You see, All the creatures in this world only exceeded up to only four elements, And never gone higher, The 4 types of Elements for mages to use, Fire, Water, Earth, Wind.
Each of those elements has a higher version of itself, Mages capable of using those are referred to as "Deviants". There are 7 types of elemental devastations:
Water → Ice (Humans & Monsters only)
Water + Earth → Plant (Elves & Monsters only)
Earth → Gravity (Humans , Dwarves & Monsters)
Earth → Metal (Dwarves & Monsters only)
Earth + Fire → Magma (Dwarves & Monsters only)
Fire → Lightning (Humans & the Higher Monsters like The 4 great Dragon Kings and Kijins only), For Lightning, there are two main methods that Augmenters opt towards. One is Internal, and the other is External. Because of the unique properties of lightning compared to other elements and their deviants, some individuals focus on using internal lightning skills, which is stated as much more difficult.
Wind → Sound (Humans & Elves)
Apart from the elemental deviantations, there are special forms of deviants:
Emitter or Healer (Humans only)
Diviner (Elves only)
But Yours's truly, has already exceeded the Laws of magic and Started to Control The Nine Elements of the Nature. Which are:
1) Earth (Including Gravity)
2) Fire (Types : Blue, Red, Green, Black, Violet, Purple, Rainbow | Including: Lightning)
3) Water (including Healing)
4) Dark magic (Sub -Shadow magic)
5) Demon magic
6) Dragon Magic
7) Time & Space (Absolute Control)
8) Spirit Magic (Absolute Control)
9) Plants
After Hearing this, mom Couldn't believe or understand anything.
She thought that only humans could condense Mana Cores, But I guess I am a Bit Special.
On my Advancement of evolving into a Dragonoid, Dad said, usually dragons attain this stage of Dragonoid, If only they Posses the royal blood of the Dragon God Bahamut.
So, from what he Told me is,
The Dragon God Bahamut was at the top of the Dragon Clan. He was born during the creation of the world. He was one of the most ancient Gods, the originator of all beasts and Monsters. He created 4 greater dragon Kings, which are the Earth Dragon King, Water dragon King and the Fire dragon King. At some point, the Bahamut went on a rampage, leading to a great war with the Other Dragons That existed from it's Creation. No Dragon had succeeded until, The Creation of the Sun, The 4th Blood of the Bahamut, The Golden Dragon king "Helios Aurelius" and his Golden Dragon Army, Stepped inside the Battle Field.
Helios was considered as a Lost Particle of the real Bahamut, But he isn't a Normal Dragon. Unlike the Other Dragons, he was created as a Dragonoid. When He Defeated and Sealed the Bahamut inside the Dragon Clan's Tower, The Dragon God's Throne was Striked by the other Gods.
Aside from that, Helios married the Fire Dragon King, Lucius Scylla's Daughter and the Only Dragonoid Demon Lord in Power, Edna Scylla, and It said that they both had a baby. But after they Both were killed by the Demon Lord Roux, four years ago. And eventually, the Golden dragon Clan has been Wiped out without leaving a trace.
Well, I don't quite exactly believe that, The powerful being's death.
Anyways...I could see why the book said that it'll take until at least the adolescent age for a Human to 'awaken . ' If I had let the mana particles in my body move by themselves, it would take at least a decade for them to gravitate towards each other to form anything remotely close to a mana core .
[Notice: Unique Skill, "Mana Manipulation of Humans" Enabled]
Instead… A perk in having the mental capacity of an adult meant that I had the cognitive ability to consciously will my mana particles together. If left alone, the particles will eventually slowly float towards each other anyway, but I'm just grabbing the feathers and shoving them into the twill sack instead of waiting for them to float down by themselves, figuratively speaking of course .
trying to spend as much of my limited energy as possible on gathering my mana. I understand there would be a kind of adrenaline effect that may excite Mom and dad, when a Demon is trying to Condense Mana Core and half succeeded in Evolution.
When I raised the pace of my training was strenuous and slow,
[Notice: Special Skill "Over Grow" Acquired]
I was getting a pretty big head start compared to everybody else so I wasn't complaining . Thanks to me special skill, "Overgrow"
These past two weeks, have not gone to waste, for I finally gathered all of my mana into my Body and midst of condensing a mana core inside me completely, on Leveling higher and higher.
only after Two weeks, I am currently at Black Core.
Not bad for a dragon huh?
