Chapter 797 Nina's Chance

Four days after arriving in Metal City, Vicente had already eliminated the monsters about 50 kilometers from his city limits.",

With Onyx, Torne, and Lauren working alongside him in the city, he quickly pushed the boundaries of where his population could go, advancing from inside the city to a few dozen kilometers outside the city.

By setting up fences around this area and monitoring stations, the city could now explore the nearby terrain and even extend its boundaries if the local government so desired.

Vicente had already upgraded the city's defenses, and now only a high-level being at the 5th stage could threaten Metal City. Anything weaker than that would be stopped before it even approached the city!

With all of this done that afternoon, Vicente returned home with Nina and Lauren, who had accompanied him on this journey, one to fight the monsters and the other to get her pentagram.

Nina had absorbed her third pentagram and gained a new ability, Mana Parasite, with which she could parasitize opponents or even chase specific opponents without having to move herself.

For example, with this new ability, she could create a mana parasite, send it after a certain type of creature, and it would hunt it down and gradually drain its life force without her having to get involved. Her only job would be to activate the ability at the moment the parasite was created and give it the orders. After that, she could turn her attention to other things and receive the results later.

Nina could become stronger by absorbing the life force of her enemies. Then, when the parasite had finished its work and returned to her, she could use it to strengthen herself.

But the efficiency of this process wasn't very high. Let's say the mana of a Low-level Mage was 2,000 thousand units. Even if the parasite absorbed all the vital energy of an opponent with that level of power, it would only contribute 10 units of mana to Nina.

The good thing was that she could cast multiple parasites at once, and the mana from this form of cultivation wouldn't destabilize her magical foundation like external resources might.

Soon after gaining this ability, Nina used all of her mana to create 5 parasites and released them to hunt 3rd stage monstrous creatures beyond the borders of her city.

"Take the opportunity to generate more of your parasites and try to get stronger quickly," Vicente advised Nina.

"I have a feeling I wouldn't be able to produce parasites the way you think. I think I can make 5 more of them and then I won't be able to make any more until they come back to me." She explained a bit more about her ability.

"In order to create more parasites, would you need to increase your strength?" Lauren asked, with a curious tone in her voice.

"Yes, that would be the case." Nina nodded.

"Then do as much as you can and concentrate on your cultivation. With such a wonderful talent and such a fantastic ability, you should be able to reach mid-level in no time." Vicente said as he looked at Nina with great expectations.

"When you become an Earth Sovereign, I'll allow you to form your own battalion and have the independence to move around the Seidel Kingdom."

When Nina heard her brother's words, her eyes immediately sparked with excitement. Currently, she is unable to travel beyond the limits of Metal City. This trip of the last few days was the farthest she had gone since the beginning of the disaster in the kingdom.

However, her true aspiration was to explore the battlefields and actively contribute to her family's efforts.

"I'll do my best!" She promised with a smile on her face as the group headed back to the city.

As soon as they arrived, Nina ran back to the Fuller mansion, with Lauren following behind after showing her dissatisfaction with Vicente's earlier comment.

He just smiled bitterly before heading off to where the city's materials should already be waiting for him to create powerful artifacts.
