Chapter Thirty-Eight: Dredging the Magical Thread
Sakura was stunned as she held the pale pink stone in her palm, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
(Everything related to Mao and fate is pink, hey!) Although I am not averse to pink .......)
"How do I use it? Other than that...... If I become that system, will my race change with it? β
"It won't change, the Primogem of Mana will change your body while preserving your bloodline. But, with all due respect, the blood in your body is really not a particularly noble kind, but ...... But it's nothing, as your strength grows, so does your bloodline. β
Sakura exhaled with relief, although she didn't reject becoming another bloodline, she didn't care, her father might care......
"You place the Magic Rough Stone in your hand on your forehead, then close your eyes and feel the magic patterns in the Magic Rough Stone. You will find that you can absorb the energy in this Life Primordial and build an identical Primordial Mana Gem within your body based on those mana patterns. Once the build is complete, I'll make a series of arrangements to allow you to absorb the Primordial Mana faster. β
Yu continued.
"Ah, yes! I forgot to remind you. When the Mana Rough Stone is constructed, there will be a lot of pain. You must endure this pain, otherwise you may fall short. Also, it's important to build gradually, not in a hurry. It's okay to take your time, and when you build, there's no time limit. But try to build it in twelve hours, after all, the absorption effect is best in this time. If you can't bear it, you can call me, and I will help you appropriately. But remember, once I build it for you, it will be much diminished and the usefulness of the Rough Mana will be diminished. β
"Don't worry, I'll do it in twelve hours, because I'm not afraid of pain, because I'm used to it......"
As if remembering something, Yu smiled mysteriously on the face hidden under the mask, and spoke softly, with a hint of banter in his tone.
"Get used to it...... What a strange usage...... Well, without further ado, let's get started! I'm looking forward to seeing where you go! β
Sakura nodded when she heard this, then looked at the magic rough stone in her hand, gritted her teeth, and gently covered her head.
Pale pink filaments erupted from the magic rough stone, turning into a cocoon that slowly enveloped Sakura. Her hands hung limply, her pupils dilated slightly, and she seemed to have lost consciousness.
She certainly did not lose consciousness, but came to a wonderful space. In this space, she could feel her body, but she couldn't manipulate her limbs, her eyes, or anything else. But she can control the veins of her body, and she can control the magic she already has, and wander through these veins at will.
Originally, she relied on instinct when she used her magic, and although she could retract and release it freely, it was not completely retractable and retracted. After all, she relied on instinct when she was running, and could only roughly judge when and how much magic to use.
It's like giving you a computer and you know how to use it. But if you want to use it more deeply, such as resetting the system, you may be helpless.
And the previous Sakura dream was in this situation.
It can be said that it was the first time she saw the veins in her body, and it was also the first time that she was able to control her magic at will. In the past, she could also control her magic, but it was far less flexible than that, as if her whole body was alive, and there was an indescribable freedom.
She followed Yu's instructions and looked at the stone in the most prominent position in this wonderful space. At this time, the stone was not like before, even if it was thrown on the street, no one would pick it up, and it was covered with various lines.
Sakura walked around the stone, and then silently analyzed the lines on the stone, and came to a very strange conclusion - if you follow the lines on the stone, it is not impossible. But if you run the magic according to that pattern, you will inevitably need to build several new magic veins.
Sakura hesitated for a moment, thinking about the feasibility of this method of operation. But she didn't get any results, because today was her first contact with the veins in her body. And most crucially, in none of the books she had read in the past had ever mentioned the development of body veins.
(Sure enough, the system I learned before was too different in rank compared to this system.) )
She took a closer look at the lines. The lines are not difficult to understand, and it is easy to decipher when the magic is moving where.
She didn't hesitate too much and decided to try this method. It's not that she completely believed Yu's words, but she had to believe it at this time, not to mention, Yu didn't break out hostility towards her from beginning to end. And if she wants to kill herself with her strength, she doesn't need to go to such a great deal of trouble in the first place......
She looked at the lines on the rough piece of magic, and the gourd ran through her body. At first, the veins were smooth and there was no pain, but they were very comfortable.
But soon she came to the first place that was different from her own. According to the veins in your body, you should move down when you run the magic, and according to the pattern of the stone, you should go to the right, pointing to your heart.
She hesitated for a moment, and then resolutely chose to believe. She gritted her teeth, controlling the flow of magic toward the side of her veins.
An indescribable tingling sensation made Sakura's brain go blank for an instant, but almost instantly, her consciousness returned. She gritted her teeth and broke out in a cold sweat in the space, continuing to rush towards that vein despite the pain. Only now did she understand why Yu would say such a thing to her at that time.
She didn't expect the pain to be so intense, because it wasn't just physical pain, it was more of a soul torment. That's right, torture. There was also torture in those dreams, and almost all of them were souls. In the torture of the previous dreams, she had been polished to the point that she was not afraid of any pain, but this time, the pain seemed to be magnified countless times.
(It's not a pain that can be persevered by gritting your teeth!) )
The pain in the soul is more intense than in the body. Because the pain in the soul is directly fed back to the soul, and the body needs the transmission of nerves, those pain sensations are more or less missing. But the soul is different, it is directly reflected in one's own heart, and that feeling cannot be described in words.
The pain she was suffering now, under her deliberate neglect, seemed to have diminished a lot. But that residual pain is still deeply rooted in her soul, and she can only grit her teeth and persevere. She didn't notice that she even had tears in the corners of her eyes because of the pain.
Finally, at her insistence, the first vein was opened. And at the moment of opening, a wonderful feeling came to her heart, as if the whole person had been sublimated.
She breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Yu said that she could take her time and not rush it. If you are in too much of a hurry, the gains outweigh the losses. But there's a time limit......
She didn't stop for long, and continued to control the movement of her magic to various parts of her body.
With every minute of movement, a fluid flowed from her bodyβdon't think about it, it was a liquid that was condensed by magical impurities and gushed out through the pores of her body.
The pain grew stronger, and even if she deliberately ignored it, it was useless. As a last resort, she could only stop and go. With every little bit of movement forward, she would stop for a few seconds or even tens of seconds to adjust to the pain.
Some people may ask, why not go all out and directly open up the veins of the whole body before adapting? But this does not make any sense, because it is acting directly on the soul. There is a limit to the soul's ability to endure pain, and once it is exceeded, even pain is enough to crush you.
So she could only move forward little by little, she had lost sight of time. The limit of twelve hours still seemed to her to be a floating cloud.
The pain left her with no time to think about anything else, and she could only feel the pain with all her heart.
Yu had already taken off her mask at this point, revealing her pale face. Her eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Sakuramu who was wrapped in that cocoon with a hideous face and trembling all over, and couldn't help but praise softly.
"What perseverance! It's hard to imagine being only thirteen years old! This pain may be very helpful for her future growth, and now it seems that it should be almost over! But...... It's just the end of this step, but there's really nothing to be afraid of later. β
As if to confirm what Yu said, Sakura in the cocoon stopped trembling, and the whole person lay weakly, as if collapsed, in the cocoon.
She opened her eyes weakly, her lips moving, as if trying to make a sound. But she helplessly found that she didn't even seem to have the strength to speak, so she could only look at Yu with her eyes.
Yu put her mask back on, and after feeling Sakuramu's pleading gaze, she nodded.
"The first step has been completed, and the veins of your whole body should be combed into the veins on that magic rough stone. It's almost time for the second step, rest assured, there is no pain in the second step, but it is a comfort! After the first step, the second step is not rushed...... Although it is said that in this world, you will not feel tired, but in this case, it is difficult not to get tired! β
Yu snapped his right hand, and the whole world immediately turned from day to night.
"Take a rest in peace, I've paused the time in this space and sleep in peace! After going through this ordeal, you are also tired. β
Then, Sakura closed her eyes gently and fell into a deep sleep......
