Chapter 126: Picking An Evolution Option and Evolving!

-----

Chaos glanced at the evolution options. He had a hard time picking something…

However, as of now, Chaos was still a priority due to it being the component of his very soul. Due to this, maximizing chaos was the best thing to do , and well, it was the best thing to aid himself. After all, by picking the chaos evolution, he would be able to strengthen his soul and make it stronger, bringing himself into a healthier state of the soul.

He had seen how his soul was, it was like a giant black cloud that expanded the more mana he gained, but it also weakened and became smaller the more mana he used. He couldn't have a soul like this for too long, and required something more solid that could take his excessive use of his massive mana pool…

And due to these circumstances, he chose the obvious choice.

"A difficult choice… But I will pick this one." Said Chaos, picking the obvious choice! The others seemed very nice, but he needed to nurse and enhance his soul through these soul-enhancing evolution that also gave him chaos power.

Ding!

[You've selected the [Elder Chaos Vampire Dragon] Evolution Option!]

FLAAAASH!

Darkness enveloped Chaos as a cocoon of spiraling and chaotic elements formed around his body!

He felt like not only his body, but his soul was evolving! What a wondrous feeling of exhilaration!

His Chaotic Heart began to beat faster the more he gained power, his Chaos Soul danced like an ocean of eternal darkness, as it suddenly began to get tighter and more compact, without looking so much like an enormous and disorganized black cloud…

But it stopped midway through, the evolution wasn't enough to "Fix" his soul and make it into a more compact and "normal" one yet…

He broke through the cocoon and opened his eyes, he had evolved.

[You have evolved into a [Elder Chaos Vampire Dragon]!]

[You've reached Rank 6 of the Pseudo Demi Deity Realm!]

[All your stats have increased!]

[You learned the [Chaotic Soul: Level 1] and [Mana Mastery: Level 1] Abilities!]

Chaos had evolved! And with that came two Abilities as well.

Chaos had already reached Rank 6 of his current Realm, in this little time, in just a bit over a month, he had reached what many would do in many years…

His Cultivation was indeed fast, but he wanted it to be faster, to prepare himself for the dangerous future, he needed more, more raw stats!

But for now, he relaxed and looked at his gains, the two new Abilities. They looked quite interesting!

…

[Chaotic Soul: Level 1]

An Ability inherited by the Chaos Dragon Ability Tree.

Your soul is shrouded in Chaos. Your soul IS Chaos itself. You are Chaos. And Chaos is you.

As you have a Chaotic Soul, you are capable of manipulating your soul to an insane new degree without any problems. Your soul can be shaped however you want and move however you want.

Your Soul can be used to enhance your attacks, to attack directly, or to even cut itself apart and possess other beings… Your soul is a monster by itself, and you must learn to tame it.

Each level of this Ability enhances the power, resiliency, and regeneration speed of your Chaotic Soul by +20%.

"A Chaotic Soul is not something that you mortals can even comprehend. It is the essence of our beings; it is part of what we are. You are not even capable of comprehending what's beyond the horizon of your feeble desires, what can you even understand of what make us what we are, Chaos?" -Elder Chaos Dragon Azran.

…

[Mana Mastery: Level 1]

An Ability inherited by the Vampire Sorcerer Ability Tree.

You have an innate ability over Mana, your mastery is instant, you don't even need experience, you have the power to learn and comprehend mana and magic at an outstanding pace.

You are magic itself, blessed by this power, you stand before the world, the universe and order mana to do your will. No one can defy your authority over mana, mana is your servant, and your lifeblood.

Grants the ability to manipulate mana freely and masterfully, without wasting any in the process of using it, chant less magic does not cost extra mana, and your total Magic Power is enhanced by +20% with every level, alongside your Mana Regeneration speed by +10% with every level.

"Ah, Mana… It is what we are. It is the power we were born with, the pillars that maintain the power, the essence of everything. Some say that there are higher energies than mana, but at the end, everything is mana, of higher or lower quality, Divine Energy, Primordial Essence, anything… It is all Mana at the end, one way or another, we always go back to this mystical energy that exists everywhere… Mana. And we are ruled by the same rules. The ones with more Mana, are naturally stronger." -Cthusekh, Progenitor Vampire Warlock.

…

These two new powers were fantastic! Chaos couldn't help but think that with them, his power might skyrocket to new and greater heights than ever before!

The first skill helped repair his soul by leveling up, each level would make his soul stronger! And the second skill helped him on magic casting, without letting him waste not even a droplet of magic and making chant-less magic not cost more than magic with chants! Additionally, his magic power is enhanced alongside his mana regeneration with each level! How wonderful.

Chaos stood over the floor as he glanced at his hands, mana began to dance like it had never done before to him. Before, he only brute force mana to obey him by merely using millions, but this mana mastery ability made it, so he had become incredibly proficient in the control of mana, even of the control of the monstrous amount he possessed compared to others!

Mana was purified or contaminated into miasma with a mere thought, the blue and transparent essence turned dark and gooey, and vice versa…

This was Mana Mastery!
