Bloodlines Online

After each of the members of the team had the mana skills unlocked he proceeded to bring them to the dungeon.

"The place with the highest mana density that i have found is actually the dungeon's hard mode but i will be bringing you into the normal mode first."

He received an invitation to the team through the system before this so he would be able to enter with them.

"While inside the dungeon what you need to know is that you will be surrounded by mana from the start and while you are cultivating your mana cores i will be killing the skeletons in the area."

They each confirmed that they understood before they all entered the dungeon.

Since he wanted to let them develop a basic understanding he had chosen normal mode.

He had a suspicion that such high density mana as the hard mode would actually harm their efforts to cultivate.

He gave them each one more reminder of the best way to cultivate that he knew before he went off to kill the skeletons.

His time with teaching was actually very easy once he figured out how to help each of them.

He learned that War God needed extra moments to see how a process worked, Shade needed encouragement to keep his effort strong.

Hope didn't need any specific help when learning but she did seem to enjoy praise.

He watched the mana slowly coalesce around each of them with their bodies slowly growing more infused with mana.

Their chests were the main area where this glow began but he knew that they would eventually be able to gain a lot of power.

"So i am going to help each of your get to at least the Experienced rank of your mana skills before we enter the hard mode."

His ability to slay Diana in the normal mode was beyond easy now but he would still let them absorb all of the mana in the room first.

After the battle he was sad by his lack of any good silver mage gear but he did get a fairly good pair of boots that Shade wished to have.

Once they had left the dungeon War God approached him.

"Hey belial, what did you do in there? Why didnt she do her enhanced undead?"

It turns out when she reaches 50% hp she would becone immune to damage while channeling a specific spell, these undead would do the same damage that he knew was shadow element.

The power he could help them achieve would make their task easier and they even seemed to be having fun trying out their new potential with the mana skills giving them not only reduced mana usage but also natural regen.

From talking to them he had figured out that players do not have a natural mana regen and would be heavily reliant upon potions until they learned about these skills.

When they explained this he suddenly had an idea.

He could easily sell this information to people who wanted to take this game seriously as he knew it would rapidly become a hardcore esport.

It was already the night before the fifth day in this game and he wanted to see if he could bring his affinities to 100% before he left it.

With the 5 to 1 time ratio in this game he would have been playing for twenty four hours, he would have to leave and stretch so his body wouldn't be in pain when it finally moved.

So he sought out the hard mode once again to level up and raise his affinity.
