Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 185: Creating Own Magic (2)

[How did you cast a spell?? How did you use Magic??]

Lee did not immediately give an answer, and inspected the partially destroyed fence. He found the wooden planks cut in uniform, which indicated the use of a sharp weapon. Walking towards the backyard of the inn, he saw several lowlifes sitting and chatting. The inn's backdoor had many sword marks on it. The bath cabin was emitting a very sharp and repulsive stink.

"Who are you?"

There were many people there. Mostly thugs and thieves, these anti-social men had destroyed another person's belongings, and had forcefully occupied a stranger's land. One of them wearing a bandit bandana, saw Lee and raised his knife to scare him.

The lack of response from Lee made him angry, and he shouted-

"WHO ARE YOU, SHITHEAD?"

A few completely drunk thugs stood up and turned towards Lee. The others, who were trying to break the metal chassis of the door, halted their activities and focused on the intruder.

This is my brother's property. Who are you all?"

Lee scanned the entire area, and counted the total number of thugs to be 31. D notified him that these people have a specific tattoo on their lower back. Nodding at the information, Lee raised his doubt.

"Then you must know where that brat Lee is. Talk, or die."

The thug with the knife walked to him and threatened him. Lee remained unfazed, and did a superfast attack which the thugs did not catch by their eyes. All they saw is the knife wielding thug falling on the ground, lifeless.

"You are standing on my brother's property. Give me one reason not to kill you all."

The thugs became alert and surrounded Lee. They had a wide grin on their faces, as one of them said-

"We are here to catch a man called Lee. Tell him where he is, or you die."

'D, put pointers on all thirty men left.'

Lee raised his hand and pointed himself, saying-

"I am Lee. Catch me if you can, lowlives!"

The term 'lowlife' was a word the thugs hated. Their anger erupted forth and daggers flew at Lee.

'Poison Pinch.'

Lee caught the two daggers by his left hand, and raised his right hand, and uttered the magic word. His fist in the shape of a gun, shot poison pebbles at the thugs. The projectile hit the thugs' foreheads and it immediately took effect.

One by one, the poison pebbles took down the confused bunch of thugs. The immobilised group of thieves were dragged by Lee, and he placed them as a heap.

Using Telepathy, he found out that the Typhoon Clan had posted these men here. Wondering what he had done to make them his enemy, he dug deep into the minds of all the thugs. Nothing more than the memories and visuals of their degraded lives could be seen.

Absorbing them into EsGen storage, Lee sat on the shair where one of the thugs sat luxuriously. D raised his doubt again, but in a more detailed manner.

[How did you cast Magic? I do not remember a spell called Poison Pinch. Did you make it up? How could you use Teleportation magic?]

'I will answer all your questions, but bring up the elemental affinity and immunity panel.'

D hesitantly displayed the information he had asked for.

"Upgrade all the affinites to Absolute grade."

[....okay, done.]

A surge of energy began to well up in Lee, and he sprang up from his seat. But, after a fraction of a second, the boundless energy disappeared into a bottomless pit. He was confused by what had happened.

[That was the elements letting you know that they have all reached Absolute grade. Now you can manifest the element souls at will.]

'They are both the Pzy and Ego, right?'

[Correct. The direct integration of the system with your soul, and the upgradation of the system, which enabled it to tap into the restraints of the soul, had expelled the need of a Pzy or Ego for you. Which means, when you materialise the souls into the reality, it can both empower your Qi or Mana, or could be empowered with Qi or mana.]

'Okay. Now let us go forth with Mana Mastery.'

[Then shall I proceed with stepping into the Veteran level of Mastery, and even further?]

'Yes.'

Converting a hundred million Essence into Mana, D started the saturation process. When stepping into the Lord level of Mastery, more than eighty million Essence was further converted to Mana.

=====

12 Mid-day.

32655 Essence harvested.

=====

In the meanwhile, Lee was going through a number of uncomfortable feelings. The sudden and steady progress in Mana Mastery saturated his bones and muscles with Mana. The customised anatomy of Lee greatly pacified the pain that was supposed to be accompanying the process.

Beads of sweat rolled down from the forehead, and ran over his cheeks, and finally soaked his entire dress. A faint pungent smell was rising from the sweat and Lee used Spotless to clean himself. But the clothings, despite being water resistant, was still drenched.

[I suggest you buy a new set of clothing. The purification of your body through Mana had left a quite an amount of extracted waste on the dresses.]

Lee undressed and threw his clothes into the air. Before they reached maximum altitude, bright red flames originated from his palm and disintegrated them to ashes.

Opening the Workshop, Lee designed another set of a jean pant, sleeveless cotton innerwear, a comfy underwear, and a long black jacket reaching below his knees. It also had a hoodie, which was his personal preference. The existing loafers were redesigned and Lee added a network of strands of steel underneath its surface.

'Now, about your question. Listen carefully.'
