Chapter 14: Mana Manipulation!



Draco looked at his status and asked: "What's with the new stats? You added the boosts or something?"

[Yes, to make it easier for you to know how powerful you are, Host.]

"Why didn't you add it earlier?"

[... Technical Difficulties, Host.]

"Uh? ... Whatever. Expand mana skills."

[Roger Host]

[<----------Mana-Skills---------->]

<[Mana Usage(Lvl2)], [Lesser Mana Reinforcement(Lvl2) - 20% Physical Boost, 10MP/Min], [Lesser Mana Regeneration(Lvl2) - +1% MP/Min], [Mana Manipulation(Lvl1)]>

[<----------------------------------->]

"Hmm, I know what to do next. Creating spells is a must when you come to another world, but before that, I feel like I am missing something." Draco looked at his mana skills and then at his status, especially his HP, stamina, and MP sections.

"I know, system. I want to buy a stamina regen; also, is it possible to spend skill points to level up skills directly?"

[Negative, host! You cannot use skill points to level up skills currently; please upgrade the system to unlock this function.]

[Skill [Lesser Stamina Regeneration(Lvl1)] Purchased! -15 Skill Points]

[Skill [Lesser Stamina Regeneration] Evolved Into [Medium Stamina Stamina Regeneration(Lvl2) - +2% Stamina/Min]

"Alright, let's see, Mana." Draco closed his eyes and concentrated deeply on trying to connect with his mana, which was very easy for him to do.

Feeling the mana in his body, he quickly tapped on it, withdrawing it outside of his palm in the form of strings made up of mana.

"Now, What should I make for my first spell? Heh, not even a question." Draco grinned evilly, his racial trait unconsciously showing up. He controlled his string-like mana to turn in circles.

It should get stronger the more mana he puts in it and stay active all along, Though it shouldn't waste mana passively and continuously. If possible once it gets mana it should revolve around him protectively till it defends enough damage to break.

And he succeeded, but this time it took a minute or two to finish. After he was done, he had to put his mana into it to further strengthen it.

*Fshh*

Draco's still pure blue mana exploded out from all around his body and the barrier greedily absorbed it until there were only a few points of MP left from his 8736.

[You've Created The Skill [Mana Barrier(Lvl1) - Form A Barrier With Your Mana And Protect Yourself From Your Enemies. 10 MP Cost/Barrier HP.]

"Phew, This is good enough for now, but, once My MP is recharged, I will strengthen it again, Let's see now." Draco was thinking what spell he should make next, but then, he remembered that he wasted all of his mana.

"I was too hasty, dammit. What do I do now?" he regretted quickly.

[I can suggest some skills you can make using Mana Manipulation, and you can decide what to do once your MP regenerates.]

"Don't you have some potions in your shop?"

[Not yet, Host.]

"Urgh, Alright, bring it on."

[Roger, Host! To start, let's simply start with skills you already have and how you can use mana to amplify them or redirect them, For example, [Mana Reinforcement] can be used to strengthen one organ or specific body part instead of the whole body.

For example, your eyes to create the skill [Mana Vision], your legs for [Speed Amplification], your arms for [Explosive Strength], or your brain for [Brain Amplification].]

"Yeah, that's very useful. Thinking about it like this, I can also use mana to amplify basic regenerations, like HP regen or stamina; I believe I can't do the same for mana, right?" Draco sat down cross-legged, put his hand on his chin and contemplated.

[Affirmative, Host! however, you can meditate, try to sense mana, and then absorb it, although it won't be as useful as an actual technique, it can still help depending on your talent.]

"Oh, interesting. Bring it on!" He grinned.
