My Elf System

Chapter 114: 114. Child Of Mana.

The child of mana title was awarded to Orion for completing the mission titled 'Fourth Aspect'.

The objective of the quest was to gain the ability to sense and manipulate Astral energy which happened to be the fourth aspect of his mana core, but to be able to unlock the fourth aspect, Orion had to fully comprehend the complexity that came with being able to manipulate spiritual energy.

However, to do this as well, Orion had to meditate and expand his mana aspect.

The moment Orion was able to do all these, the system rewarded him with the title.

This title meant that Orion had a higher mana capacity than that of other rank ten mages.

In other words, the current amount of mana flowing within his body was high enough to overwhelm any mage in the same rank or lower than his.

The system also rewarded him with a separate skill called {Mana concealment}.

This skill allowed Orion to suppress and hide the mana flowing around him so that mages and knights lower than his ranking wouldn't become too overwhelmed just by standing close to him.

These were the rewards given to him after he completed three of the system's quests.

Moving on, Orion noticed the last title he had obtained, which was the {Coliseum God} title.

During the last few years, Orion had spent a considerable amount of time in the coliseum, battling against elven warriors two or three ranks higher than him.

However, until this current moment, Orion had never been beaten once, meaning that he had an unbeaten record of one hundred and fifty fights in the arena with the same number of wins.

Currently, there was no one in the elf kingdom, be it an elf or an orc, who could challenge the prince to a fight in the arena and win.

After his hundredth win in the arena, the fans began to give him a new name, seeing as how their prince was still fifteen years of age and yet had accomplished something that even his peers could never dream of replicating.

The system also acknowledged and rewarded him the title given to him by his fans and royal subjects and now no one in the elf kingdom would be stupid enough to challenge their prince to a battle in the arena.

Even Ganesha wouldn't dream of fighting against the current Orion.

The same went for Adrian as well, who had already acknowledged the fact that Orion was simply different from the rest of them, whose growth pace could never be compared to his.

With that out of the way, Orion looked at his attributes which had increased a lot over the years.

He had also improved his understanding of the tiers and numbers of elemental magic he could cast.

Also, unlike eight years ago, Orion could now cast both elemental and Non-Elemental magic spells.

He had also memorized their magic circles so he could cast the spells without chanting them out loud, which could take minutes to complete for ordinary mages.

Orion lowered his gaze and noticed the skill called {Mana Breathing}

For mages who wanted to rank higher, the best option was to conquer dungeons or meditate, but the mana breathing skill was like a better version of meditation.

The skill enabled Orion to absorb impure mana throughout his pores, allowing him to constantly refine the impure mana he had absorbed, either while he was awake or asleep.

Moving on to the life skills he had learned, Orion had learned new life skills not only from Evelyn and Elena but also from Ariel and Karen, who were more than happy to teach him everything they knew.

Aside from all these, Orion also took some dance lessons with Mia.

Of course, it had been his mother and aunt who had taught them and he'd had a lot of fun learning the skills from the beautiful women he had in his life.

'The only life skill I regret not learning more of is my crafting skill and runesmith skill,'

'I heard the elves were pretty good at crafting materials, artifacts, and weapons but I've been unable to increase the tier of my crafting knowledge.'

'I guess it's the system's way of telling me that the knowledge I've learned is still mediocre compared to what I'm expected to know.'

'Mom said that elves' knowledge in crafting is second only to that of the dwarves.'

'I always wondered what happened to them and why they weren't in this world even though I've heard a lot about them in books and video games, but it turned out that all the dwarves were taken away to a safe location by the first rune monarch.'

'This occurred during the war.'

'The first rune monarch before Damien Salvatore was actually a dwarf.'

'As a vampire with a rare bloodline ability, Damien had the ability to steal the talents of those he had killed.'

'He killed the first rune monarch, Bjorn Ironside, and obtained his talent, which allowed the world to recognize and fear the talent of a rune monarch.'

'However, just before Bjorn was killed.'

'He found a way to hide his journals and knowledge of runes, along with his people.'

'No one knows exactly where he hid the dwarves and no one has heard from or about them ever since.'

'We can't even be certain if the dwarves are still alive or not.'

One could wonder why Bjorn Ironside decided to hide not only his journals but his entire race as well, and the answer was simple, the dwarves were weak compared to other races.

Their skills in showmanship and archery were underwhelming in comparison to the elves, humans, and beastmen.

However, they were extremely talented in crafting and weapon making.

Bjorn was also the first ever rune smith to be discovered in the world, so there had been no one aside from him who had ever delved into rune smithing.

Even Damien Salvatore never bothered to become involved in it based on how complex it was to learn and implement. This explained why Orion's knowledge of this was still at the lowest tier.

Moving on from the past, Orion decided to turn his attention to his elf-god bloodline and the progress he had made in it so far.
