Chapter 123
As soon as the fairy dust touched my skin, something popped up in my vision.
{An ally has used a skill on you. Would you like to create a combined skill?}
Wait, no one used a skill on me. Rather, I sprinkled fairy dust on myself. Was fairy dust considered a skill? It was more like an innate trait that certain species were able to create. In that respect, spirit fire also wasn’t really a skill. Miki could create fire as part of her natural tendencies, but it was less something she did and more something she created. Technically, once generating spirit fire, it’d stay lit as long as it was provided mana. In that case, spirit fire was really a mana product. It was something that didn’t technically exist in this world.
In the same manner, as soon as the fairy dust touched my skin, it shined and disappeared. It looked like fairy dust was something similar to spirit fire, in that it had no official physical existence, and its existence was considered a skill or a trait of some sort. Unfortunately, I only had the amount that was in this bottle. Once it ran out, I wouldn’t be able to use my combination spell again until I found a fairy queen.
While I was having these thoughts, Celeste started rubbing herself against my neck. I was focused on the screen, so I shook her off of me and stepped forward. I now had the capacity to create a new combination skill. What should I combine fairy dust with? What would it create? It was really tough to guess. Which ability would give me something akin to flying? I felt like it’d blend well with a healing ability. However, healing wasn’t a problem. The problem was that I didn’t have enough mana.
I was basically out of mana potions now, but wouldn’t a spell that made mana be a little ridiculous? Wait… fairy dust was kind of like mana, right? In the case of spirit fire, it’d cause a mana attack which could hurt ghosts. If I used fairy dust, it was more like a mana healer. How did I know this? Video games. That was really all I was drawing these conclusions from.
Perhaps if I mixed Fairy Dust with Low Regen, I could gain a low mana regen too. That would be really useful in fights. Being able to increase my mana regeneration could go a long way so we didn’t get this close to dying again.
“M-master…” Celeste tugged on my shirt.
“In a minute.” I shook my head. “I’m still deciding here.”
Combination skills essentially allowed me to combine one of my skills with an innate ability of my teammate. Maybe I could figure out a way to combine Lydia’s speed with a skill too, I didn’t know. The big problem with Low Regen was that it wasn’t something I could activate. Therefore, if there was a way to combine the skill, I didn’t know-how. I needed a way of replacing my mana potions by combining fairy dust with an active skill. Sanctify land? Healing Circle? Holy Circle?
“No… wait…” An idea popped into my head, a ridiculous idea. “Create… water…”
Water suddenly came out of my hand, but it had a faint green glimmer to it that immediately made me realize it wasn’t normal water.
{You have created the team skill Create Waters of Life.}
“No way…” I let out a cry of shock, instantly pulling out some empty bottles and filling up with the water I produced, which kept coming as long as I pumped mana into it.
“Deek!”
“The fairy dust is an ingredient to create the waters of life!” I laughed.
“Deek!”
“What?” I turned at Celeste’s desperate cry and then froze.
Celeste was standing nearby, except that she had the illusion spell make her body full-sized again. Her cheeks were blushing and her legs were held tightly together, but the thing that was most shocking was that she wasn’t wearing any clothing.
“Please… I can’t stand it anymore… take me!” She said tearfully.
“Huh?”
Fairy dust is an ingredient to create the waters of life. It’s also a very potent aphrodisiac for fairies. The more you know.
