Chapter 140: Mysterious Tattoos
Oh Jesus, I really just became a Death Dragon now… That was faster than I had expected.
Well, I will do my best to meet your expectations, Fafnir-sama!
And thanks for giving me your name too, I guess?
I was renamed.
You see… Before this, I was plain Drake.
But now, after being given the Divine Protection… Fafnir was so benevolent he called me after him.
So now, my name is Drake Fafnir.
Why? I don\'t know. But maybe by being named by such a powerful being such as him, my growth can increase a lot, perhaps?
This evolution brought me a giant amount of stats, that\'s for sure.
So this is the power that Rank 3 Cultivators have, huh? Quite something!
Now I got Death Magic, but I have to train it well and also cultivate this new core located near my stomach.
How can I cultivate it? Just using the Mana and making it flow into it?
<Answer>
<You must be careful, as it was previously stated by that Ice Giant, if you infuse too much high-quality Mana into your Mana Core of Rank 1, it might shatter and explode, and you will lose stats and permanently lose Death Magic as well as the possibility to learn Null Magic.>
Eh?! Well, thanks for telling me something so important…
I am glad I can ask you stuff, or I would be completely lost.
No, well, I should have come out with that conclusion sooner or later anyway, I am quite cautious, despite what others might say.
<Answer>
<Sure…>
Yes, despite what others might say…
Anyways, then, I must use the mana produced by this Mana Core itself to Rank Up? What about eating low-ranked Mana Cores?
<Answer>
<It should work, however, your Core Mana Core is the Ice/Wind one, your second Mana Core is cataloged as Secondary, and therefore its effects in stats are not as strong, although it will affect your evolution, your evolution are still locked into your Core Mana Core, so you won\'t evolve each time your Secondary Mana Core Ranks up or increases in Stages.>
I see… Well, I will get to eat a lot of Mana Cores soon after we go hunt for some time. So there\'s that.
But I really didn\'t know that one could get more than one. Although it makes sense now that I think about it, they\'re just organs, and in most Cultivation stories, people can strengthen their inner organs or something, so why not just get two Mana Cores?
Now that I think about it, this thing might not be unique of mine, there should be others all around this enormous world that already got secondary Mana Cores one way or another, perhaps this I how they grow even stronger aside from the natural affinity they\'re born with?
But because people cannot evolve, I would guess that it might be harder to acquire, or they need to do some roundabouts… Such as… Wait, what if they just stuck Mana Cores from monsters or other Cultivators they kill inside their bodies through some special technique?
I guess that\'s how they could get some more power… Well, I am just letting my imagination run wild into these guesses, time to wake up and have breakfast.
I quickly jumped off the bed as I sensed something odd.
I quickly ran upstairs as I saw all the kids waking up… but their essence, the mana they exuded, was different.
It seemed that they all recovered from the Fever, but something odd was going on in here.
Why are they glowing so brightly with elements? What is happening right now?
Every single kid is glowing with their mana essence…
They quickly notice me as they see that my appearance changed a bit, but I am still me.
"Papa! I recovered from the fever!" said Flayr cutely.
"I-I can see that… But what about this aura you\'re exuding?" I asked as I noticed a tiny dragon-shaped tattoo on Flayr\'s forehead, it resembled a coiling dragon, it was made of red wondered.
22:51
"Yeah… Maybe? I don\'t know either but I really feel refreshed- Wait, did my stage increased? Oh, it painting… when did this happen?!
"Eh? I don\'t know but… it\'s as if I feel a bit stronger now…!" said Flayr as she pressed her hands against me and suddenly formed a perfect watermelon-sized fireball!
"Fweh?!" she cried, as she accidentally launched the fireball towards me…
CLASH!
Of course, my resistance to fire is high for some reason, probably because I\'ve evolved a lot, so the fireball explodes over my chest and dissipates into nothing.
"S-Sorry!" she cried, rushing towards me.
"Ah, don\'t worry, it didn\'t hurt. And… you seem to have become stronger! Yesterday you were only able to produce a little ember, didn\'t you?" I asked.
"Y-Yeah… Something\'s odd…" said Flayr.
With Flayr and Noirenn sitting over my shoulders, I walked towards Benladann and woke her up, we began to speak about what had transpired and I told her about the divine protection too, which might have related to the kids suddenly changing.
"Eh? So the divine protection you got also affected us?" asked Benladann.
"It seems so… I don\'t know how, but maybe it affected everyone that is below my protection?" I wondered.
"Yeah… Maybe? I don\'t know either but I really feel refreshed- Wait, did my stage increased? Oh, it did!"
Benladann quickly realized that her Rank 2 Mana Core Cultivation increased to Middle Stage in a flash…
And after checking each kid, it was the same, each one went one stage up! This is most likely why their magic became way better. But not only that, the tattoo they have… showed up as some kind of ability.
Each kid had a different coiled dragon tattoo, it had a very small size so from afar it looked like a little speck, and most of them covered it with their hair too.
Their tattoo color was seemingly dependent on their affinity, and even Benladann got one, but not in her forehead, but in the middle of her chest, between her breasts…
Wait, no, I didn\'t ask her to show me her breasts! I am not a degenerate…
She showed the tattoo willingly…
