Chapter 1302: Asking For Help
From what I remember, to create a magic circle inside someone's soul, you need to first concentrate their internal Mana and Elemental Affinities into a single place, creating a ring and then forging their first Runes, after that, we need to stabilize it and connect it to their Mana Veins.
My mother had done this to me seamlessly when I was a child, but now that I think about it, it's pretty damn hard. Especially when it could endanger the life of the person you're trying to give them a magic circle to!
But Arboren were different, even the Unique Units, they were special, so I could heal them over and over again if they received damage anyways...
"It might hurt a bit, but I hope you can withstand it..." I said.
"Eh, I bet it's not going to hurt that much- UGEH?!"
FLASH!
Ivy groaned in pain as I gathered her internal Mana into her chest, slowly forging it into the shape of a brilliant ring of the color of purple and green, slowly, it spun around.
It was working, they can get a magic circle!
"Ouch, ouch, ow, ow, it hurts!" she cried. "Aaahhh!"
"Just calm down for a bit!"
I quickly gathered the Mana she had and added a bit of mine, plus some spirit essence to experiment something new, and forged ten runes into her magic circle, the bare minimum to start.
The runes were a combination of Poison, Plant, and Spiritual Essence elements, creating runes that shone with clear purple and green color, weird.
FLAAASH!
"OOOGGH!"
Ivy gave a moan that almost felt rather sexual, but she felt much better afterwards, gasping for air, and looking at herself.
With that done, I decided to step out of the dungeon after telling the Dungeon System to stop the acceleration of time for the 24 hours he had told me about.
[The {Dungeon System} says that for 24 hours the time acceleration of the dungeon compared to the outside world will not change and it will remain within a 1:1 ratio.]
[Cooldown: 24 hours after.]
"Ready, let's go."
Opening a portal, I walked outside the village after leaving everyone preparing. I told them to first forge more Runes, so I left a lot of Mana Potions with them and other materials so they
could get stronger.
Once I was finally back home, a whole hour had passed, and I hurriedly walked downstairs, finding Celica, Celeste, my dad, and Felicia having breakfast, they had almost finished eating. "Sylphy! You're here! What happened? You were gone out of nowhere," said Celica.
"She was inside the dungeon, wasn't she?" Celeste said.
"Yep, I was there, haha..." I laughed slightly. "I'm sorry, a lot happened..."
"So you have a dungeon, huh? I had no idea you had any of these things," said Felicia. "I would love to know more about all of that, to be honest. Especially about how you somehow possess and control a dungeon! Something that not even I have achieved after years of
trying..."
"Hah, yeah, we never told her about that, huh?" my dad sighed. "Calm down Felicia don't be like this... Sylphy, I got your breakfast ready, just sit down. Did you fight inside the dungeon? You look a bit tired."
"Ah, yeah... long story short, there's an infestation of miasmic monsters," I said.
"Miasmic monsters?" wondered Celeste. "What the hell is that?"
"I think we've gone to some miasmic swamp once! There were miasmic monsters there!" said
Celica.
"Those were more like the naturally occurring ones, I think? I don't remember well, but these ones inside my dungeon are surely different," I said. "And I don't like them one bit... I came back mostly to ask for your help, I need to take down a Miasmic Nest that formed there."
