Chapter 1323: Mana Destruction
Ding!
[You have chosen the [Second Choice]: [Mana Destruction]!]
[You learned the [Mana Destruction: Lv1] Skill!]
The new Mana Destruction Skill was everything I could have ever asked for right now, it was much more aggressive and destructive than Mana Disruption, and with this, I could probably fight enemies several times over my league and deal proper damage.
Though at the same time, if I am not speedy enough to catch up to their abilities, it'll be all for naught and I wont even be able to hurt them.
Nonetheless, as the Skill description dictates...
[Mana Destruction: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/25.000
The Ability to naturally destroy Mana Constructions and Mana Pathways from your surroundings or a specific target, the more Mana you add into this skill, the stronger the blow will be against your target as long as you aim at their Mana. This can easily cancel spells and techniques from foes as long as you can match their speed, cleanse areas around you from other types of Mana, or even destroy Magic Formations, Magic Artifacts, and more.
By destroying the Mana of the user's surroundings, it is possible to create leftover Decayed Mana, which might even become Miasma if not treated carefully, Decayed Mana can often times be toxic to foes before even turning into Miasma, and is much more versatile, becoming a type of energy that can be manipulated.
However, its power is dangerous and might hurt the user if not used carefully. Nonetheless, its powers are truly frightening, and only a few people in the entire world can utilize such a terrifying power.
Level Bonus (1): Enhances the ability to Destroy Mana by 25%, Lessens the Chances of Mana Destruction Backfiring by 10% and Enhances the Destructive Power of Decaying Mana by 30%.
It is possible to not just destroy mana constructs and pathways, but other things! Artifacts become a possibility, and even magic formations, and more. I could probably use this to unlock new possibilities within alchemy, if I could destroy and take away certain negative properties of materials related to mana, then... yeah, this open so many new gates.
Oh right, and I guess there's this Decaying Mana, an early stage of Miasma I can now manipulate, it stated its destruction and toxic to most life, so I could give that a try? Let's
see...
"{Mana Destruction}"
I aimed at the floor where there was a large 30 centimeters big insect walking around.
BOOOM!
A giant sphere of dark purple energy hit the bug, destroying its internal Mana Pathways, and frying it from the inside out.
Before I could realize what happened, the insect's charred corpse laid over the floor.
Oops, that doesn't even tell me something though!
"But isn't this too destructive? It can even target things inside a living being, means nobody is truly safe from it," I sighed. "Well, it still has limits related to the amount of practice and mastery I have, right?"
"Yes, although your Mana is endless, you also have difficulties going forever with it, your soul takes damage and backlash, and we don't want that," Alice said. "So you're restricted to only use that when necessary, okay?"
"Got it!" I nodded. "Oh? Is this Decaying Mana?"
I noticed a blurry black essence growing over the monster's corpse, I quickly manipulated it with a thought, as it flew towards my hands and started spinning, taking many shapes and forms.
It slowly dissipated though, but it seemed almost alive.
How odd, it felt like it somewhat was something more than just Decay.
But I just couldn't quite understand yet.
"Hapy about your new acquisition?" wondered Alice.
"Yeah, more than happy," I nodded. "Now that we got this done, time to depart."
I walked towards Ivy and Bark that were nearby, both had finished polishing and cleaning their clothes and armor.
"Hey guys, how are you doing? Ready?" I asked with a smile.
"We're good, yeah," nodded Ivy. "Hah, a bit tired, but let's get this done with."
"I am not that tired but I am quite mentally exhausted, I require some sleep too, perhaps," said Bark.
"Haha, just push forward a bit more and then you'll get to rest all you want," I said, patting their shoulders. "How do you two feels after everything though?"
"Fine, I mean, a lot happened. But I think I can control the wind element more than I imagined," said Ivy. "Though, from whatever faint memories I have of my previous life, I was never able to really use that power at all."
"You didn't learn how to?" I wondered.
"No, no, it's more like... I just had no power at all," said Ivy. "Yet now... I feel so strong, my second life is truly full of weird things and powers. It also felt like the wind always accompanied me even to another world, weird right?"
"I don't think it's weird, it just means you are deeply connected with this element," I said. "It isn't just about talent sometimes; memories pay a great deal in the ability to learn magic. Perhaps what you experienced was a large amount of memories about such things, about traveling and being with friends, about feeling the breeze in your face, with a bright smile. All these things... Maybe they influenced it?"
"Yes," Ivy smiled cutely. "You always get it right, Goddess Sylphy... You're truly amazing on your own, huh?"
"Aaahah... you're exaggerating a bit," I said. "Oh, what about you, Bark?"
"I remember something..." Bark muttered. "A time when I had a sword and a shield and also an armor of shiny silver color, with lions engraved into them. That time I was an honored knight, that time I met my old lord... I... ugh, I can't remember much, but those memories,
they made me happy."
"That Spiritual Swordsmanship comes from you or...?" I wondered.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"It comes from me, yes, although it manifested as a Hero Ability," said Bark. "It was something... Someone, ugh... Someone taught me, someone very important."
