Chapter 839 The Next Day
?-----
The warmth of the sunlight coming from the window slowly woke me up, as I opened my eyes, I quickly realized I was resting above my bed, back in my bedroom.
Looks like my friends ended carrying me all the way back, this is a bit embarrassing… I shouldn\'t have overused my abilities. Though, I might have gotten carried away because I acquired that Skill.
It was much stronger than I imagined, and I abused its powers to win… However, it had a fatal flaw I didn\'t realized, it constantly drained both Mana, Ki, and Spirit Energy.
Meaning that by the time I conjured Blood Nova and defeated the monster, I emptied my reserves faster than I could recover them and passed out on the spot.
If I add all the bonuses I had right there, I might\'ve had over 600k MP, and even then, it was all emptied when I conjured Blood Nova, and it wasn\'t even its strongest form, it lacked Cosmic Energy after all.
Hmm, well, it was my first time fighting something at the Level of an S Rank and wanted it dead before it could become a threat, so I did the right thing.
But even then, I need to keep training and stacking on more Mana, especially Mana, it is the source of all my powers, and even the powers of my Vampire Spirits.
Sadly, although the Internal Magic Circle creation increases Elemental Runes, which allows for the creation of stronger Spells and also for lower MP Cost, it doesn\'t increase maximum Mana by too much.
I was thinking of waiting until I reached Rank 6 at least, but I guess I\'ll have to do it now while I can… I\'ll have to create a Mana Core.
Mana Core, these are the creation of the Ancient Order of Magus, that governed a large part of the Universe, they came from worlds governed by Magic, and were the strongest magicians in the world.
After I defeated them and drank their blood when I stopped them from terrorizing smaller planets with their greed, I learned their secret techniques, including the Magic Circle Creation.
It could be said a Mana Core is similar to a Spirit Orb, but the Spirit Orb seems more complex, and innate to our biology, meanwhile, Mana Cores have to be created from the total crystallization of all our Mana, and it needs a lot of it to be created properly.
Why was I delaying this so much? Well, because to create a Mana Core and cultivate my Mana to increase its maximum quantity to exponential levels, I need a minimum of, according to my calculations, 2 million Mana.
And even at my strongest form with all the buffs, I have at most, 700k… It\'s not near as enough. But now that I\'m getting a constant supply of Spirit Orbs, it might be possible to create Familiars that give me the most Mana in mass, maybe two or three thousand could give me the necessary Mana based on their Stat Buffs.
Hahh… But I\'ll leave those plans for later.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, as I tried to stand up to start the day anew, I realized I was being embraced by Eleanora\'s arms, my face has been resting over her breasts this entire time.
Ahh, they were quite fluffy and comfortable though…
"Oh?"
And right behind me, there was a little girl hugging me very tightly, the pink hair messily spread over my face already gave it away that it was Erika, she was hugging my back.
Were they so worried that they ended hugging me as I slept?
Well, isn\'t that cute?
I could probably just sleep some more now that we were like this, there\'s no real hurry…
I slowly moved around the bed and hugged Erika, who was fast asleep.
She was really warm, something that she didn\'t use to be back then.
When she had a doll body, she was usually quite cold, but I still embraced her and hugged her, and gave her my own warmth to her.
And now she was so warm, she was the one that ended warming up my cold body after I passed out… I guess she gave me back that favor.
"Hmm… Huh?"
As she cuddled with me, she slowly opened her eyes.
"Blake…? Ah… You\'re awake!"
"Shh, you\'re going to wake up Eleanora. She has a surprisingly heavy sleep if you leave her be."
"O-Oh… I was so worried, you passed out in there, and we all thought the worst happened…"
"Sorry, I overdid it a bit, but I\'m fine."
"Really?" She asked me with her adorable eyes.
"Really." I nodded, giving her a kiss in her little nose.
"Heheh… Mooch." She quickly gave me a kiss in my nose too, and then rubbed her own over mine. "You\'re a bit lovely this morning. You aren\'t usually this close."
"Am I?" I wondered. "Maybe you\'ve softened me a lot…"
"I like when you\'re lovely and nice…" Erika rested her head in my chest. "I love you…"
"…" I felt in silence as she said those words.
Sometimes I felt like I didn\'t deserve the love of such a sweet girl.
"Don\'t you love me?" She wondered.
"I do." I smiled, caressing her head. "I do…"
"Really?" She asked.
"Yes, really." I nodded.
"How much?" She kept asking.
"Hmmm… How much do you want it to be?" I asked.
"T-To the sky!" She said. "No, even more… If I just say the sky, it\'s a bit of a limiter, no?"
"Hahah, you\'re so goofy sometimes." I giggled. "I love you and that\'s enough, how much doesn\'t matter, because I\'ll always love you more than you can imagine."
"B-Blake…"
She ended blushing at my simple words. Were they that profound? I just said them out of the blue…
"I-I also love you more than you imagine…" She held my hand. "I\'m happy you\'re okay… Don\'t be reckless, okay?"
"Okay, sorry." I nodded. "I\'ll try to be more careful; I didn\'t want to make you worry."
I loved how considerate she had always been.
