21. Mana Core:- First Aspect.
Evelyn wore a shimmering gold and silver gown. The dress hugged her slender body, showcasing her explicit beauty, and behind her were the elder elves.
Although they were called elder elves, all of them had the appearance of a human in their late forties, with pointy ears.
The elders were bowing in front of Elena and Orion when Evelyn walked towards her son.
She stroked Orion’s cheeks before asking. “Are you ready, sweetie?”
“Yes,” Orion replied and everyone walked towards the spot where Orion would form his mana core.
While walking towards the place, Orion looked around to see what the sacred grove was all about, and to his surprise, it was actually a breathtaking and beautiful place.
It was a circular clearing, surrounded by towering trees that seemed to stretch up to the sky.
Their trunks shimmered and glowed, allowing everyone to feel the strong magic within the grove.
The air was also filled with the sweet scent of a blooming wildflower, filling everyone with a sense of calm and relaxation.
At the center of the grove was a huge magic circle glowing on the ground and covered with a soft, velvety moss that looked as soft as silk.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates
Standing on the magic circle, was Hilda, dressed in a beautiful green dress that touched the ground.
Unlike the usual platinum blonde hair of the forest elves in the kingdom, Hilda’s hair was different.
She had green hair and a similar color of eyes.
She wasn’t a forest elf like most elves, instead, she was a nature elf with a strong affinity towards nature magic.
She was also the elf who was with Evelyn the night Orion arrived in this world.
The moment he was done compressing the last bit of mana in his body, he could feel one of the facets in the mana core slowly glowing brightly until a prompt suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully awakened the first aspect of your mana core ‘Elemental energy’.]
Orion read the words displayed on the screen and his lips widened in a smile but he wasn’t done just yet and this was merely just the beginning.
He knew he had to awaken the second aspect of his mana core as well if he wanted to achieve his goal and to do that, he had to fully comprehend what the first aspect of his mana core was all about.
Orion calmed his mind even further by breathing steadily before returning his focus to his newly awakened mana core.
Mana networks suddenly began to sprout from the mana core, spreading across his body to ensure a uniform flow of mana within it.
The mana networks were like veins and now that Orion had awoken the first aspect of his mana core, he could willingly draw mana directly from his surroundings and he could also control and manipulate mana.
This was all thanks to his mother’s teachings.
Last night, Evelyn had carefully explained the steps he needed to take and the first step was to compress the impure mana in his body to form a mana core which would then be refined in the mana core.
Once the impure mana was refined, the pure mana began to circulate his body through his mana veins, strengthening his bones and muscles which surprised Hilda who was seated in front of him.
She knew Orion would be equally as talented as his mother and aunt, but Hilda hadn't expected Orion to understand the intricacies of mana compression at a ridiculously fast rate.
Normally, it took most elves at least six hours to unlock their mana core.
Be it a high elf or a forest elf, it took everyone at least six hours to awaken a mana core. However, right now, it wasn't even half an hour yet, and Orion had successfully awakened his mana core.
Hilda’s lips instinctively stretched into a smile.
She never imagined the prince would do something as remarkable as this, but her eyes suddenly widened once again when she noticed what Orion did next.
