Chapter 166: Erix In Big Trouble, Skeleton?!!
In the Magic Furnace, he would have to melt the ores and metal after infusing Mana in it and control it. Then, in the Magic Anvil, he can shape the weapon.
But those two were normal uses of it, not magical uses.
After all, Magic Furnace is also used to combine multiple metals into one to create a metal, and the Magic Anvil was even bigger.
It had a water tank, a metal table, and a design box for him to design his weapon's parts.
After cracking his knuckles and stretching his limbs, Erix started training by creating some simple melee weapons with Tier-1 materials.
He produced his own metals, and while the metal was being processed, he created Sigil formations.
Sigil Formations were "similar" to magic formations of skills and other things. The only difference was that they had to precisely add the paths and other magic formations inside a Sigil Formation that would empower the weapon and give it "Effects."
'Hmmm, I should add a self-destruct sigil formation that uses up everything of a weapon and explodes as well. These weapons won't be my main weapons, but I can still use them since I can control them.'
After failing a few times, he finally created his first Tier-1 weapon after half an hour—A Flameberg Dagger.
"Not bad," Erix grinned.
[+10 Smith experience gained.]
"Next," Erix threw the weapon into his Hunter Card.
He consumed some Mana and created a bunch of Tier-2 metal materials before processing them in the Furnace for his next weapon.
…
Time passed by quickly while Erix continued training and honing his Magsmithing skills.
After four hours, Lilith woke up feeling refreshed like never before and stretched her arms upward with a freshened smile.
"I've progressed more than I should have," Lilith smiled as she checked her source and the amount of Blood Essence.
"But how?" Lilith was curious. "Did getting a huge boost in strength and crossing 1000 stats in Strength riled up his source more?"
'That should be it. His source always gives him unlimited stamina, but now that his Strength has increased dramatically and his Spirit has also increased, the synergy of his other stats with his source was boosted, which explains why he was not tired at all.'
She turned to Rin and scanned her before speculating that it would still take five hours or more time for Rin to digest Erix's source power.
Before going to the bath, she spread her Spirit Sense and found Erix's presence.
'What are you doing, handsome?'
'Lilith? Perfect. I need to tell you something.'
'Alright, I'll be there after a quick bath.'
Lilith turned into a shadow, entered her bedroom's bathroom, and filled her big bathtub with water.
But just as she stepped inside and was going to sit, Erix teleported inside.
"Erix?" Lilith was surprised. "Ahh, wa…"
Erix's clothes vanished, and he appeared behind Lilith before he sat down in the bathtub with Lilith on his lap and his dick into her pussy.
"Close your eyes and feel my source," Erix said in a serious voice as he held her from the waist but couldn't help but grab her juicy tits instinctively.
"What happened?" Lilith asked, surprised.
"Just focus and check it. You'll know soon," Erix said before he moved Lilith's waist up and down with his full strength to thrust at a quick, blurry speed, causing Lilith to lose focus and making her let out an involuntarily moan and also climax.
"Oh my…Ahh…Y-You went all out right off the bat! And I am still very sensitive…"
"How can I focus with this?!"
Erix stopped after several seconds and shot his load into her while he absorbed her juice with his special skill, "Now check. I released a load. Inspect it deeply and then Inspect my body."
"Alright," Lilith nodded and closed her eyes. After two seconds, her eyebrows raised, and after another two seconds, her brows furrowed into a deep frown.
In the next second, she absorbed Erix's load and opened her eyes.
After making a turn to face Erix while his dick still throbbed into her, Lilith bit her lips and sighed. "You are in trouble, Erix."
With his throbbing dick, she could clearly feel that Erix still needed to release a lot of his source and also replenish it, but with pure vitality higher than death.
"What will happen if this continues?" Erix asked with a frown.
"Do you feel any side-effects or strange for now?"
"Nothing except for more horny and wanting to release more load."
"Hmm, that's a defensive reaction of your body and mind to your source, telling you to balance your source since one aspect is heavier than the other."
"Yeah, I figured it was something like that," Erix sighed. "But how do I fix this? And what will happen if I don't fix it?"
"Your source is a newborn unique source and hasn't developed yet," Lilith explained from the start. "But when you get a Bloodline, your source somewhat balances since a Bloodline depends on one's source. The resources I am collecting are balanced between life and death to trigger a proper unique bloodline from your source that is a mix of life and death."
"However, if death power in your source overtakes life power, you will gradually lose…well, life," Lilith wryly smiled. "Ultimately, you will become a skeleton with no flesh."
Erix's face turned paler than it was already pale.
"Fuck!"
"You also won't be able to fuck anymore, which I would really hate," Lilith smacked her lips.
"Since you are an evolved lifeform already, your intelligence and everything will still remain even if you become a skeleton. After all, when a source lead changes, it also helps you adapt and transform."
"Tell me we can fix this, please," Erix said, his lips twitching. "I don't want to become a skeleton king!"
"Of course," Lilith kissed him and buried his face into her breasts as she started moving her hips slowly.
"Your semen contains the most amount of your source, so you'll have to release a lot of it. As for how to gain pure vitality, Rin and I can give you that when we climax, and you absorb it with your special skill, but our sources still have the influence of death, even though it's not as pure as yours."
After all, Rin and Lilith also had death power in their source, which was the main reason they could quickly form Blood Essence using Erix's semen.
Erix sucked her tits and released a load after a while as Lilith moving on her own also gave a new type of pleasure to him and Lilith herself.
"Absorb it….Aaaanh~"
Lilith also climaxed.
Their bodies glowed briefly as they absorbed the powers from their essences.
"Alright, I paid attention this time, and shooting one load is like a drop in the ocean of my source," Erix was speechless. "Your essence contained 3 parts of death power and 7 parts of life power. Although your death power doesn't feel much, it didn't make much difference since I am releasing a mixture, losing both the life power and death power of my source."
Erix sighed. "If I could release just the death power part…but that's impossible since it's mixed."
Lilith held Erix's cheeks and raised his head to face her as she lovingly smiled, "Don't worry. We'll fix this problem. For now, just release some loads inside me and absorb mine."
"Fine, I am going to be wild and fast for faster stimulations," Erix stood up and properly held her buttcheeks while his dick fit into her pussy and hit her end.
Afterward, he opened his mouth wide and put one juicy into his mouth for more pleasure, his tongue playing with her nipple. And then, he started moving his lips in a rhythmic fashion.
…
After two hours, they left the bathroom and arrived in the backyard.
Lilith was still a powerhouse of peak Royal-order rank and so also actively processed Erix's essence, not needing to sleep for it.
Previously, she was also tired of continuous work and climaxed a lot in the kitchen, so she had to sleep to recover.
However, just doing this deep with Rin and Lilith was not going to solve this problem.
"I want to give you this Leaf of Life Crystal, but it's more important for your bloodline," Lilith said as she sat down at a chair while Erix started doing his Magsmithing work.
"Even if I give it to you, it won't fix your problem instantly since one Leaf of Life crystal is not enough to balance your source. Moreover, this valuable material is used as a catalyst to trigger your source and manifest your bloodline. If I give it to you without preparation, you might experience some side effects and damage to your source."
"Then what's the plan?" Erix asked as he created some Tier-3 metals and put them in the Furnace.
"This is a unique situation and first time for me too, so we'll experiment a bit first," Lilith said. She took out a comm card and called Lily.
"Lily? Why her?" Erix asked, his eyebrows raised.
"I'm going to have her buy some Life-attributed ingredients and see how your source reacts to them when you absorb their energies."
"Ah, alright," Erix nodded and continued his work.
After half an hour, Lily arrived and took out three ingredients.
"Here, try this Tier-1 material first," Lilith handed over a green mango-like fruit with dark green patterns to Erix.
"What's the matter with him?" Lily curiously asked as she sat at the table beside Lilith. "Did something happen?"
"Well, you can say that," Lilith nodded and proceeded to tell her about Erix's condition.
On the other hand, Erix took quick bites and finished the fruit in two seconds before closing his eyes.
'Let's see…' Erix thought as he focused deep and started observing.
