Chapter 215: Sun Vampire's Core (2)
"What we're going to do is my core, it's supposed to provide you with the blood element, I'm going to make you one of a kind, and eventually, there will be vampires that will follow you, eventually I'm going to infuse you with my race, and what we're going to do now is we're going to refine the blood element one more time. Do you see what I mean?"
James shook his head in surprise for a few seconds before saying, "I have no fucking idea what you just said."
Vladimir shook his head in disappointment when he heard these words and then said, "We will refine your magic ring again, which has been refined with the blood element. This means that your mana capacity and aura capacity will increase due to my use of aura. James...can't you understand? We will be able to create the second layer, which is normally created after 12 magic rings."
When James and the others heard these words, they waited as if they couldn't make up their minds.
"But my father said it's impossible, I mean he said it is literally impossible," Abby suddenly said.
"True, it should be impossible, but that only applies to those who can control one thing. James has both magic and aura in his body, the elemental core has opened up on him, and it binds the two powers together. This means that if he succeeds in targeting only one element, James can now put the second layer against the ring to which the blood element is connected." Vladimir answered these words.
Abby waited a few seconds after these words and then shook her head at the possibility of such a thing being possible and said, "It is quite possible if you, the former owner of the power, direct James."
James was waiting where he was.
"So we're going to gamble with my life AGAIN?" James suddenly asked and Vlad, hearing this, silenced him by saying, "It's something you've already done quite a lot of on your own, I don't think there will be any difficulties."
"I mean, I mean yeah I do that but like...Fuck, alright..." James managed to say, and then, closing his eyes, he added, "Then let's get started."
With these words of James, he felt the core he had eaten. After focusing on his body, he could see that the energy coming out of the core he had eaten was already in front of the elemental core that surrounded his heart and the total aura in his body.
As he started to approach the energy, he suddenly realised Vladimir standing next to him.
"I didn't know you could get here," James suddenly said, and Vladimir, hearing these words, chose to reply, "I mean, I tried."
"Now James, you know what to do, dissipate the energy and let your body absorb it, when your mana capacity starts to increase you will transfer some of the energy to the fifth ring. You will suffer because you will be breaking the rules of magic itself, not the tower, but if you can endure it, the reward will be unimaginable." Vlad said and with that, he disappeared.
James was left alone. Faced with this image that he was now accustomed to, and then breathing deeply, he touched the Sun Vampire's Core and met the very energy that made him tremble.
The energy was the size of a pill and had a deep blue appearance in the appearance of the core.
As soon as James touched the core, the energy itself began to be swallowed by the elemental core.
With each passing second, both the aura energy held by the branch of the elemental core and the magic energy held by the other branch of the same core began to grow.
The size of the energy was truly enormous. James saw that his aura was growing faster than ever before, and he realised that his mana level had increased by at least 150%.
As the energy from the Core slowly began to diminish, James began to send all the remaining energy to the fifth magic ring, the maroon-coloured ring.
At that very moment, his eyes widened. He was in insane pain, he was already writhing on the ground in the tangible world, and it was not much different when he was observing his soul and body.
Both on the tangible and intangible side his body was indeed writhing, but even with that James could see the progress he was making.
"NO PAIN NO GAIN GOD DAMN IT!" James suddenly shouted and with that, he pushed all of the energy towards the fifth magic ring.
The fifth magic ring seemed to stumble from the enormous amount of energy that was being thrown at it, it really did seem to be alive, it was constantly being depleted and it was becoming much thinner than James had expected.
So much thinner that it was perhaps less than a centimetre thick.
It was the strangest thing that such great power could exist in such a thin ring, indeed the magic was incredibly 'magical'.
As James took deep breaths, he saw that the colour of the maroon magic ring was becoming more vivid and bright.
The pain he felt began to lessen, and immediately afterwards another colour was strangely added to the magic ring.
The colour of the magic ring was no longer just maroon, but the second layer that had begun to cover it had added a dark shade of blue to the magic ring.
With that, James opened his eyes to the concrete place, reality itself.
He could see four spirits around him, looking at him intently and strangely.
"I think that's it? It hurt less than I expected, but my body feels...very light. I'm more alive and my mind is clearer. It's good that it went smoothly." James suddenly said.
After only five or six minutes it was over and everything seemed to be in order.
"Ummm...Well...My dear nephew, we can't say it's not all smooth sailing." Emily suddenly said, not realising how much those words must have frightened James.
