RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse

The days passed quickly, and all of Blake and his wives both hit their second mana evolution and were now able to take in astral energy. Destiny had even begun her quest to reach her second mana evolution. While she was already a goddess, she did not lose her ability to evolve since her make up was different from others. She did not die and go through a rebirth to become a goddess. She was made a goddess during her evolution.

This meant she could continue to grow stronger through normal evolution, which would add on to her current powers. Ishtar also promised to train her in how to strengthen the divinity that she had now as a goddess. Destiny's thoughts were already on her golem creation for when she went home. Her ideas were spinning on making golems with the power of her divinity that would make them like mini gods.

She felt if done right, she could make golems by the thousands and have them be used for all the battles to come. An army of golems to protect the place her Papa had created from scratch. Just thinking about it made her smile and want to work harder to grow stronger.

Joy was another one who was finally calming down. She was about to begin her death and rebirth to take in Astral energy. She planned to strengthen both powers as much as possible and try to combine both magic and astral spells together to make a fusion type spell. Of course, she would first need to complete her current research.

With her hormones somewhat in check, she was finally able to roam the house without being yelled at by Lillia. She felt like her ears would be pulled off many times. While they were already pointed to begin with due to her race, she felt that they had grown longer due to all the tugging Lillia had been doing.

Currently, inside Joy's room, Blake, and all his wives, along with Destiny were standing next to Joy, who was lying on the bed. Blake was holding her hand sitting next to her on the bed. He promised he would not leave her side until the process was done. Unlike what happened to Lillia and him he should not need to let go of her hand as she only needed to take in a small strand of astral energy. "Joy, it is just like mana. Once you see the purple wisps, just beckon one over and take it in. "

"Mmm… I will do my best!" Joy nodded. She could not say she was not nervous, but she knew with everyone looking after her, no matter what, she would not die.

"Then we will start. Joy, honey, close your eyes." Ishtar spoke softly as she waited for Joy to do as she said, and then with a wave of her hand, Ishtar shot out a thin line of golden light and put Joy into a near death state. "She only has thirty seconds, but I am sure she can do it."

"Sister Ishtar, you know you are a softy when it comes to the girls." Mina teased.

"So are you!" Ishtar shot back. She did not take her eyes off Joy at all. She could not miss any changes. If she did, it could be fatal.

"Mina, leave her alone. If something happens, it will be your fault." Blake reminded the silly fairy. She was always doing as she pleased. Mina pursed her lips. She realized her mistake. Flying over to Lillia's head, she landed and sat down, watching over Joy.

"She's got it!" Ishtar announced with a big smile. Joy's body began to glow with a purple color. Her brow furrowing. But this was normal. Her body was now undergoing a rebirth. Her muscles and bones were being reformed. A new vessel inside her body was also beginning to form. This was where her astral energy would be stored. It was quite similar to her mana pool.

Blake held the hand that was gripping his tightly and smiled, knowing his daughter made it. After twenty minutes, the entire process was done. Joy's eyes slowly opened, and the first thing she saw was her Papa. "Papa!"

*Chomp!*

"Joy!" Lillia cried out as she pulled Joy away from Blake. She knew the little brat would take this chance to take advantage of her papa. Lillia decided she needed to stay more on guard.

Blake burst out laughing as he rubbed her head. This made Joy smile from ear to ear. "You did good. Very good. Your Mama Ishtar will work on the runic markings to let you take in more astral energy tomorrow. For now, rest up and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow morning you will be able to eat something that will help strengthen your body more."

"Okay!" Joy nodded her head obediently. She would always listen to her papa! Lillia sighed and wondered why she could not be this obedient all the time.

With everyone now able to take in astral energy, Blake and his wives headed to the living area to have a small meeting. Destiny also followed since Joy was going to rest. With everyone not seated, Blake stood and began to go over his plans. "Since everyone now has astral energy, we will first practice more on learning how to cast spells. I thought it would be easy, but the method of casting, while similar to magic, is a bit harder since we have to learn all the runes from scratch."

Sadly there was no cheat for astral runes as he had with magic runes. And the runes were completely different and worked in different ways as well. Astral magic was not tuned by elements. It was very different and more geared toward chaos than anything else. While it still allowed you to cast things similar to an element, it was not exactly an element at all but just chaos magic taking on a form similar to it.

It can be said to be the origin of magic.
