Chapter 10

7/21 9:38 (Summer, Day)

A rain of Arrows coated in lightning fell upon the Drake only to be destroyed by tentacles made of water as it roared before releasing a stream of water from its mouth in response towards Azure only for her to dodge, an arrow already nocked in her bow.

Marine controlled the water around it, slowing it down even if she could not stop its ability to manipulate water.

Meanwhile Evan launched himself at the Drake, his blade wounding it through its aura, cleaving its scales before jumping over a platform made from solid water by Marine, dodging the swipe of its tail.

This opening was not wasted as it gave enough time to Azure.

“Oh, Roaring Spirit, respond to my plea.”

Upon this prayer, a mass of lightning formed in the shape of a vaguely humanoid figure floating around her, as spark started to fly around them as she rose her bow to the sky, clouds amassing overhead as the lightning around her was concentrated in her arrow.

“Fall, oh thunder, and strike down the enemy before me.”

She launched the arrow high in the sky before a three meters wide lightning fell upon the False Dragon, being guided by her Unique Arma straight towards it.

Upon seeing such, the Drake did not hesitate.

It roared, its aura intensifying and mixing with the Barrier as water rose from the sea and forming various layers of shields to disperse as much of it as it could while expanding its territory to stop the barrier.

The B-Rank Party observed the cloud of vapor obsuring their opponent before it roared in pain, showing itself.

Most of its scale upon the top of its head were completely destroyed and its flesh burned as its eyes were exploded in its skull.

Upon seeing such, Evan went in to end the fight before it could heal itself completely, his Unique Arma having a blade made of lightning, as he slashed through its brain using the fact it could not see anymore.

Or at least, that was his plan as it dodged at the last second, being saved by its new Innate Skill, Extra-sensory Echo, retreating under the water.

The Iriblades kept their guard up before, after a good 13 minutes of waiting seeming to relax.

A couple of minutes after even that, the boat shook as it was attacked from below, waves of water attacking it in conjunction, trying to capsize it and all those on the vehicle.

Fortunately, they already advised the staff of the boat to keep all other travelers safely hidden within the barrier if a Monster appeared until they signaled them, thing they hadn’t done yet and they are sea-men by profession.

Unfortunately, they found themselves having to improvise ways how to not fall in the water as falling in it with a Water Drake hunting them would be a death sentence.

Hurriedly Klevel and Marine held onto Fora for dear life as she rose her hammer, the head directed towards the boat, before slamming it in and anchoring all three of them in place, manipulating gravity around them so that they would not move.

Meanwhile Evan stayed stable by jumping and creating a platform of almost solid light under him while Azure just jumped, her feet landing on Fora’s shoulder as she fired an arrow clad in water, precisely striking the Drake passing through the water without any resistance.

The Drake rose from the sea, fully healed thanks to the time from its injury and most of its Vital Energy and Mana restored, before releasing a jet of water at high pressure towards Fora only for her to rise her Unique Arma and striking said jet, shattering it in drops of water that Marine quickly took over, shaping them in blades that cut it in various places.

The swordman jumped in, the blade of his Unique Arma made of lightning again, slashing through its left eye before jumping away from its answering bite, a rain of arrow coated in lightning falling down upon it, shattering its barrier, followed by a single arrow, it too coated in sparks, piercing its scales and destroying its right eye.

A roar of pain escaping it as it regenerated both eyes, both Evan and Azure landing back in the boat as Klevel was chanting as an enormous golden Magical Circle was being created slowly high in the sky above them, increasing in size as time passed.

Marine restarted to weaken the Drake’s control over water while both Evan and Azure prepared to distract the Monster before them.

The battle restarted, the water continuosly attacking the barrier around the ship as Evan launched himself at the Drake releasing slashes made out of lightning as he went and Azure continuosly launching arrows to support the assault as it manipulated water around it as fast as it could to block the attacks while launching its own.

It roared, the water rising around it forming not tentacles, but blade intent on ripping them to pieces and, without hesitation nor any problem dodged the attacks, before Azure prayed again.

“Oh, Flowing Spirit, respond to my plea.”

A mass, this time made instead out of water, formed in the shape of a vaguely humanoid figure floating around her.

“Rise, oh water, and chain the enemy before me.”

The plea was heard and obeyed as the sea rose in chains to immobilize it.

“How much time do you still need? After this I can’t use Spirit Magic with Water Attribute for another hour or Lightning Attribute for another 20 minutes, so move it.”

At her barking, Klevel merely sighed before continuing to pray in a tone barely above a murmur as the Magical Circle above them was slowly reaching full completition as the Witch started to weaken the Drake’s attack against the chains to lenghten the time it will be stopped for.

Meanwhile Evan was in place, his Mana and Vital Energy rising and being absorbed by his Unique Arma and his Unique Skill converted it in electricity while Fora posed her right hand on his back, her own Unique Skill amplifying its quantity and potency both.

Finally it was able to break the chain around it and resurface only for the Magic Circle, now around 100 meters in range, to be completed and activated, generating a barrier around both the boat and the Drake, generating the biggest Spell he ever Casted.

“Holy Field.”

This Spell, normally used to protects Temples and Churches by being linked to a Mana Capacitor, was Casted for the first time by a Person during a battle, being boosted by his Skills, his Staff and the lenght of his chant, and had a very simple function.

The function was the weakening of all Monsters and the strenghtening of all People within it.

Furthermore, thanks to his mastery of the Holy Attribute and his Unique Skill, Life Link, this barrier consumed the Water Drake’s Mana and Vital Energy to maintain itself instead of the Caster’s.

This gave Evan enough time.

“Awaken!”

The order was heard by her Unique Arma at B-Rank.

His Unique Arma ceased to be material and become made completely out of iridescent energy that quickly become pure lightning.

He rose the sword even further, stepped forward and swung releasing a slash made of lightning, using his Unique Skill to negate all possibilities of the attack being dodged.

“Lightning Fall Slash.”

The Drake could only widen its eyes before it was cut in half, its parts falling apart before being taken in a Magical Ring by the Party to be sold afterwards by them.

The journey restarted, even if thanks to the Drake, they will arrive even later, after all a lot of Mana was spent to protect the boat and so its speed would be quite reduced to make sure the barrier would still be up.

At that information, Azure scowled to herself before returning to her room under the gaze of the rest of the Iriblades, to sulk while observing Her photo.

*Luna Gained 600+123 Magicules.

*Luna Gained 600+123 Magicules.

*Luna Gained 600+123 Magicules.

*Luna Gained the Ability Skill “Artifact Proficiency.”

*Luna Gained the Ability Skill “Meditation.”

*Luna Gained the Ability Skill “Presence Suppression.”

*Luna’s Innate Skill “Vital Mana Authority” Rank increased to D-Rank.

Luna smiled as her boat finally arrived in her destination.

She quickly jumped from it before it could even stop, quickly hiding within the crowd.

She smiled sneaking through the port before reaching the city itself, jumping high in the air and moving from rooftop to rooftop towards the protective walls around the city.

Finally she passed the barrier around it and created a pair of Wings quickly flying where she thought nord was after storing away her Artifact.

*Luna Gained 600+138 Magicules.

She smiled as the day finally ended as shown by the fact she gained even more Magicules.

Her objective was to move from Midrar to Higrar and use the fact that Gaea was a sphere to then pass briefly throught Terrar and then into Dunrar, a continent-spanning nation that is, more or less, made entirely of small city-states in a wilderness full of Dungeons.

A Dungeon is a place, most of the time a cave, in which Miasma naturally gather in large quantities forcing the birth of many Monsters and their successive growth in power.

An ideal place for her own growth, especially considering how the only rule there is the rule of power and she would not accept orders from any other.

The fact that she “obeyed” Edgar was caused merely by the fact that this was his dying wish and to thank him in her own way.

There was, however, no need to grieve him.

After all, as a Vampire his Soul would join the Moon in time, as it should.

As the Sun was slowly rising she slowed down, searching a road that was going where she was before starting to run following it, unaware that she was already lost, Shapes being manifested and controlled around her before being dismissed.

7/29 16:13 (Summer, Night)

It was finally time.

They finally arrived even with the delay caused by the Water Drake.

Azure smiled, her Unique Skill, Blood Hunt, pointing her towards her target.

Finally, she would find Her again.

The rest of her Party was following her as she ran.

They quickly found themselves within a mansion, their target, a white-haired human looking Vampire waiting for them, ready to battle, the barrier shut off to conserve as much Mana as possible for the fight.

Somewhere else, Luna found herself in quite the situation, being surrounded by around a couple dozen people while in a place of the road among a forest, weapons aimed at her, a hollow smile on her face.

Status

Total Magicules 10476 (V)

Stored Magicules 464

Racial: Lunarian D

Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV)

A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity.

The owner has no need for breathing and this body will not be affected by time, and the owner’s body will find it easy to store and use their Vital Energy, that will regenerate automaticaly.

The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon’s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can now be accessed actively.

The owner will have increased resistance to all attributes and a natural resistance and vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules.

The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner’s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity.

Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner’s of this Skill’s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon’s database.

At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them.

The Familiars created are derived by one of the non-Racial Skill of the original Souls, but with one lower Rank than its highest Ranked Skill.

Also at D-Rank you can now use Vital Energy to control your own Blood and Mana to control and shape shadows.

Unique: Singularity D

Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV)

A Skill that denotes the nature of the owner’s Soul being a black hole in which nothing will ever escape.

The owner of such a Soul cannot use any elemental magic of any type.

However magic that doesn’t depend on any element will be vastly enhanced and so will be the ease in the control of Mana and energy in general and the efficiency and speed of any energetic conversion and transfer.

Additionally limits on magical affinity, Mana control and conversion efficiency will be nullified.

The final effect at this Rank will be that the increases in an elemental affinity will, instead, increases non-elemental affinity.

At D-Rank, all sustain costs are negated and the stability of any construct made of energy is brought to the maximum.

Growth: Soul Harmony D

Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV)

This Skill denotes that the owner’s Soul is moving towards harmony guided by their Unique Skill, their Soul being strenghtened by this process and increased ease of use of the owner’s energy in general and both their growth speed and their potential.

Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules equal to the total Rank of all their other Skills times 3.

At D-Rank the owner’s Vital Energy and Mana well are further increased.

Growth: Unique Arma: Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity D

Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV)

A person is considered such if they have an Unique Skill, whether it is active or not.

This is nothing, but the use of Orichalcum to manifest it in a physical form able to be wielded only by its owner.

This particular Unique Arma is derived by the Unique Skill “Singularity” and, as such, is extremely efficient to convert, transfer and amplify Energy in general, whether it is Mana, Vital Energy or other types.

This armament is able to strenghten both its owner’s existence and their Spell, Technique and Crafting by increasing the ammount of Energy in them without actually using any automatically.

Additionally, this Skill increases the quantity and the recovery speed of Energy of the owner, depending on the Unique Skill “Singularity”’s Rank.

This Skill manifests for the moment as two gloves covering up to most of the owner’s forearm principally made of a black scale-like material, had a circle made of Orichalcum on the center of it, both in the palm and the back of the hand with details in platinum around them connecting with a bracelet made of the same material around her wrist.

At this Rank, once it is manifested, the owners resistance to damage is increased and so is the quality of all Energy of the owner.

Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules depending on this and the corresponding’s Unique Skill Ranks.

Innate: Regeneration D

Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV)

This Skill denotes that the owner is able to passively and automatically generate and heal themselves using Vital Energy.

In this case, however, this Skill function as an enhancement towards the healing caused by the nature of the owner as a Lunarian.

At D-Rank this Skill also further increases the well of Vital Energy and Mana of the owner.

Innate: Blood Gift D

Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV)

This Skill notes the owner’s affinity with Blood, healing and Vital Energy in general by allowing it to convert the first in the latter.

However, this function as an enhancement to this process if, like in this case, the owner can already do such.

Finally, if the previous situation is true, it allows the transfer of Vital Energy to heal others by allowing them to drink the owner’s Blood at a reduced efficiency, except in this case because of the owner’s Unique Skill and so the efficiency isn’t lowered.

Thanks to Vital Mana Authority, this Skill can transfer Vital Mana, Mana or Vital Energy to the target.

At D-Rank this Skill further increases the speed at which Mana and Vital Energy are generated in the owner.

Innate: Vampirism D

Magicules: 1k/100k (IV)

A Skill that denotes someone’s thirst for blood, both biologically and mentally.

In someone who is not naturally vampiric, this Skill allows them to gain sustenance and some Magicules from Blood.

However, in a natural vampiric being, it enhances the effects of said process slightly and further increases the owner’s Vital Energy and Mana Well.

Additionally, in either cases, it allows the ability to sense Blood nearby.

At D-Rank this Skill allows the owner to store objects and non-living beings within the owner’s shadow.

Innate: Blood Forging D

Magicules: 1k/100k (IV)

This Skill denotes the ability to use the owner’s blood to enhance an object beyond its limits.

At this Rank the ammount of Blood needed to activate Blood Forging is greatly reduced and the owner’s Vital Energy recovery is increased.

Innate: Vital Mana Authority E → D

Magicules: 1k/100k (IV)

This Skill denotes the authority of the owner over the use of Vital Mana.

It automatically fuses together Vital Energy and Mana within the owner and counts it as either parts with much higher efficiency, quality, control, quantity and recovery speed.

Thanks to Singularity, the efficiency of the fusion of Vital Energy and Mana is set to a minimum of 100%.

(New) At D-Rank, the potency of Vital Mana is increased further.

Innate: Familiar Summoning E

Magicules: 1k/1k (IV)

This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to fight with summoned Familiars, made with Mana or otherwise.

In this case, the number of Maximum Familiar is negated because of the owner being a Lunarian, so long as all Familiars are made by the Lunarian Skill, even if they still require Vital Energy and Mana to be Summoned.

Additionally the growth of all Familiars is increased.

Innate: Black Blood Manipulation E

Magicules: 100/1k (III)

This Skill shows the ability of the owner to fuse the shadow and the blood of the owner within and without the owner’s body to create a black fluid that is considered as both blood and shadow.

Additionally, thanks to both Singularity and Vital Mana Authority, both the blood and the shadow of the owner is passively changed to this substance, enhancing the owner’s existence further.

Ability: No Attribute Sorcery D

This Skill denotes the ease and ability with which the owner uses No Attribute Sorcery increasing the owner non-elemental affinity and the Power of No Attribute Sorceries.

No Attribute Sorcery is based upon the use of Mana untainted by any attribute within the owner’s body and without any chant, magical circle or other similar ways based entirely on the owner’s willpower.

At D-Rank this Skill increases the use with which the owner can manipolate Mana.

Ability: Mana Shaping C

This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to shape Mana outside their body throught willpower alone.

This Skill enhance additionally the Power of the owner’s Shapes and the control of their Mana.

The process by which Mana Shapes are made depends on the owner’s control of their Mana, this Skill and the Skill and magical affinity in a type of sorcery from which the shape is formed dealing damage based on it.

In this case, however, the Mana efficiency derived by the owner’s Unique Skill “Singularity” is such that all Mana Shape are transparent except for their outline.

At D-Rank Mana Shapes can now be considered as independent creations, no longer needing explicit mental commands.

At C-Rank Mana Shapes can now be freely manipulated depending on Mana Control both in aspect and function.

Ability: Unharmed Technique D

This Skill denotes the ability of the owner without the use of a weapon or with only fist-type weapons and increases the Power of Techniques used with their own body.

At D-Rank this Skill increases the owner Vital Energy Quantity and Recovery.

Ability: Mana Forging D

This Skill denotes the owner’s ability to actualize the process to enhance something, using the owner’s own Mana as a medium, with a Spell.

Magicules sources.

#Lunarian #Singularity #Vampirism

A process to convert 100 leters of Blood in Magicules, the number of which depends on the owner of said blood.

The ammount of Magicules gained is equal to 100 plus the total ammount of Magicules the former owner absorbed.

This process is 1 hour long every 100 leters of Blood to convert them, with a 10% conversion efficiency, however with the combination of Unique Skill “Singularity”, the time is instantaneous and the efficiency is of 100%, however this process kills the victim without a doubt.

Additionally because of the Innate Skill “Vampirism” the efficiency is further enhanced to 103%.

#Soul_Harmony

A process to automatically gain Magicules equal to the sum total of all other Skills the owner possess depending on their Rank times 3 every day.

E=1; D=3; C=5; B=7; A=10.

At the moment the Owner possesses, other than Soul Harmony:

5 E-Rank;

12 D-Rank Skills;

1 C-Rank Skills.

Every day, then, the owner will gain 46 Magicules times 3, 138.

#Unique_Arma #Singularity

E=100; D=300; C=500; B=700; A=1k
