Chapter 194: Rank 2 Death/Null Mana Core!

-----

[Day 116]

After Benladann's parents' fight yesterday, they continued to practice their magic and techniques in several sparring sessions with a lot of other people. Yuki also got into the sparring sessions and ended defeating both rather easily… Well, she was Rank 2, so it was quite obvious.

After that, they ended practicing Group Cultivation with Benladann and me. Through the power of my Group Cultivation Skill, it was fairly easy to share our mana in smaller quantities with their weaker Mana Cores, and we also ended mixing the kids into the cultivation.

Today in the morning I managed to escape Benladann's grasp by turning into a small slime, as I decided to eat some things which I had forgotten… And those were a lot of Corpses from the Bandits.

I went to my lab and took them out. I had originally planned to keep some, so I only will eat a part of them.

I decided to dissolve them through my Slime Body so it can be easily digested in an instant, without munching these disgusting guys.

The pile was over 20 corpses, so I hoped to get something good, even if they were talentless guys, there should be something, at the very least.

I extended my body over the pile of corpses and dissolved them through gastric juices and Devour. It was rather easy.

After consuming them all, my Mana Core, the second one, seemingly Ranked Up. Wow, that was a surprise. I was slowly making it stronger, but I guess the Mana Cores of people are always tastier and stronger than monsters…

Ding!

<Your [Death/Null Mana Core: Rank 1 (Peak Stage)] has Ranked Up to Rank 2 Initial Stage!>

<All your stats have increased>

<The Levels of some Skills have increased>

<You learned the [Null Magic: Level 1] Skill!>

A lot of my Skills leveled up, some that I didn't expect, such as the weapon technique ones. Perhaps by eating those that have learned it, I gain proficiency. Although it is not enough to enhance it to the next level, I am sure of that. These most likely leveled up because they were already close to leveling up or because the Rank Up granted some bonus proficiency to all skills as well… It seems I didn't get any new Skill though.

My stats increased quite a lot, having a second Mana Core feels like a cheat, my Mana increased a lot! Although physical stats don't get as rewarded, the other stats such as Mana and Magic get the highest boost. I mean, my Rank 3 Mana Core is barely getting any power from Group Cultivation, or Mana Cores I eat, so I've been stuck at my former Mana and Magic stats, but this Rank Up helped a lot.

Sadly, I can't evolve for every Rank Up from the second Mana Core, but that's how it is. I guess it has to be related with that the Mana Core I was born with is more important or is like… connected to my very lifeblood? While the second mana core is like an implanted organ of sorts.

My growth feels like a cheat compared to everyone else… Well, they still got stuff like their Dragon Marks, which seem to be able to develop in more ways than they might superficially seem. Benlah had shown that she was able to use poison attribute magic… So maybe the rest can do the same! Though… it's kind of sad for those that got stuff like Ice or Snow Marks, but maybe those can still somehow give a boost to their ice magic in one way or another.

My Death Magic is already at level 6, I've been leveling it up steadily through my experimentations, and it seems that fully restoring Benladann's parent's bodies gave a lot of proficiency, though I have to admit that I've been slacking off in the physical side because I was so busy using death magic… But I will begin training more actively.

Nonetheless, my abilities still develop rather fast, I am not even a year old, so I should try to be happier with what I've achieved so far. Some Skills awakened as well, which are:

Abilities:

[Camouflage: Level 10] > [Great Camouflage: Level 1]

[Hastened Mana Regeneration: Level 10] > [Super-Hastened Mana Regeneration: Level 1]

[Phantom Body: Level 10] > [Spectral Body: Level 1]

[Group Cultivation: Level 10] > [Large Group Cultivation: Level 1]

[Projectile Fire: Level 10] > [Projectile Cannon: Level 1]

[Medium Self-Regeneration: Level 10] > [Hastened Self-Regeneration: Level 1]

[Keen Instincts: Level 10] > [Enhanced Keen Instincts: Level 1]

These Abilities awakened and became even better than how they were before. My Mana and Vitality regeneration had increased even more this time, and my soul had undergone special changes as its ability to move and materialize, while also shapeshifting increased a lot.

There are also things such as Group Cultivation, which has become Large Group Cultivation. Through this skill, cultivation between very large groups is possible, and the speed of cultivation through the sharing of energies has become even better than before. Perhaps with this, we can hasten the process of cultivation a lot, and I have some ideas too.

Projectile Fire became Projectile Cannon, and magic projectiles fired using it had become incredibly fast, precise, and quite devastating…

Now, moving on to something more important, I acquired a new type of magic, making it four, four magic types! Ice, Wind, Death, and… Null?

What is Null Magic? According to Draugann, it is magic without an element, pure mana that is shaped to do certain things. Due to not using any element affinity as its pillar, it requires insane amounts of Mana in exchange.

Huh…
