[A/N: Question Solving Chapter,hehe.]

**Silence***

Sigh*

A profound silence enveloped me as I sat in solitude near the tranquil Bloodwell, my focus solely on maintaining the connection between Blaze and myself by supplying him with mana. At first, our bond seemed intact, allowing the energy to flow between us seamlessly. However, as time wore on, an unsettling realization settled within me—I could no longer reach Blaze through our contracted bond.

Frantically, I attempted to establish the connection once more, but my efforts proved futile. It was as if an impenetrable barrier had been erected between us, rendering our connection severed and unresponsive. 

I remained by the Bloodwell, hoping against hope that our connection would be restored, that Blaze would resurface from the depths with renewed vigor and clarity. But for now, all I could do was wait in the encompassing silence, uncertainty gnawing at the edges of my consciousness.

Amidst the mysteries surrounding Blaze's existence, one aspect remained clear: the abnormalities within his form. Our initial contract, forged through a solemn ritual guided by the divine presence of Falkor, revealed a troubling truth. Falkor, whom Blaze considered a dear friend and brother during his Klashier form, had agreed to seal him away for a millennium within a single dagger. The implications of such an act left a somber feeling within me, as I pondered the depths of their bond and the sacrifices made.

Within the expansive spirit realm, a realm brimming with diverse and enigmatic creatures, the mighty dragons reigned supreme. They held a position of unparalleled power and authority in the hierarchy of beings. Yet, when I first encountered Blaze, he presented himself as a mythical-grade weapon, perceiving his existence as a means to serve a purpose—akin to that of a weapon crafted for battle.

However, as our connection grew stronger and Blaze underwent some transformations, he gradually unveiled the secrets of his origin. 

As I pondered over the enigmatic circumstances surrounding Blaze's physical vessel, Klashier, my thoughts wandered to the events that unfolded within the game. The dagger, initially brought to Adam by Mary, had undoubtedly been pilfered from Marylin's study. Adam, driven by his self-centered nature, embarked on the same ritual I undertook, albeit under the watchful eye of Falco, whose guidance had aided him in acquiring the power boost of Klashier. 

Curiously, after that moment, both Falco and Klashier seemed to fade into obscurity within the game's narrative. It struck me as peculiar, especially considering the previous portrayal of Falco as a formidable force capable of challenging Adam. The lack of further mention of Falco, and even Klashier, left me with unanswered questions and a sense of intrigue.

Comparing my own experience with the ritual and the subsequent emergence of Blaze as a conscious spirit, I couldn't help but wonder why I hadn't encountered Klashier in physical form. According to Blaze, he had sensed Klashier being taken away while he was trapped within the spatial rift, indicating the involvement of a formidable individual capable of manipulating dimensional barriers. The possibilities narrowed down to the twelve out of sixteen star mages and warriors, or even someone of even greater power—an outcome that seemed nearly impossible to fathom.

This realization highlighted the intricate nature of the butterfly effect, which seemed to have been set in motion even before my arrival in this world. It also emphasized the fact that my own actions, such as breaking off the engagement with Mary, had yet to manifest significant changes in the overarching storyline. The same held true for this mysterious individual who had influenced the course of events, suggesting that their impact had been subtly woven into the fabric of the game's narrative.

As I contemplated these thoughts, a sense of anticipation washed over me. The intricacies of fate and the delicate balance between cause and effect began to unravel, revealing a tapestry of possibilities that awaited me. The stage was set for my journey to unfold, and it was in these moments of reflection that I realized the magnitude of the path I had embarked upon.

I took a deep breath, exhaling slowly as I adjusted my posture, crossing my legs and fixing myself on the hard ground. This position allowed me to focus inward, delving into the depths of my being to examine the state of my mana core.

As a mage, this technique was commonplace, a means of assessing the condition and composition of one's mana.

Following the transformation I underwent, I noticed significant changes in my mana core. The most striking alteration was the core's location. Previously situated in my solar plexus, it had now shifted upwards, encasing my heart in a protective embrace. It felt as though my heart was held within a cage, surrounded by the pulsating energy of my mana core.

Another notable change was the size of my mana pool. It had expanded exponentially compared to its previous capacity. In the past, my mana would deplete quickly, necessitating frequent replenishment. However, now I possessed a vast reservoir of mana, allowing me to sustain my magical endeavors for prolonged periods without feeling the strain of depletion.

Moreover, I discovered a newfound ability to perceive and harness a purer form of raw mana from the surrounding atmosphere. It was as if my connection to the elemental energies had deepened, enabling me to tap into the abundant mana that permeated the world around me. This heightened sensitivity to the ambient mana was both exhilarating and empowering, granting me greater versatility in my magical practices.

The newfound ability to perceive and harness a purer form of raw mana from the surrounding atmosphere is different from the normal ability in several ways.

Like, the normal ability to perceive mana typically involves sensing and manipulating the elemental energies within a specific range or spectrum. Mages are attuned to certain types of mana associated with their chosen elemental affinities, such as fire, water, or earth. They can detect and manipulate the mana within their affinity, but their perception is limited to that specific range.

We can use Raw mana but in a very crude way.

In contrast, the ability to perceive and harness a purer form of raw mana goes beyond elemental affinities. It allows me to sense and tap into the fundamental essence of mana itself, unbound by specific elemental properties. This means that I can perceive and work with mana in its most primal and unadulterated form, unencumbered by the limitations of elemental classifications.

Secondly, the purer form of raw mana is more potent and refined compared to the mana associated with specific elements. It carries a greater concentration of magical energy and possesses a heightened vibrational frequency. This heightened purity and potency result in enhanced spellcasting capabilities and greater efficiency in manipulating magical forces.

"Something like this."As I waved my hand in the air, a surge of power coursed through my veins, *crackling* with electric energy. I channeled the purer form of raw mana that I had recently discovered, and the air *crackled* with anticipation.

With a swift motion, a small vortex manifested above my outstretched hand, creating a resounding *whoosh* as it materialized. It began to spin with increasing speed, *whirling* through the air. As the vortex gained momentum, it drew in the ambient mana from the atmosphere, creating a faint *hum* of mystical energy.

The swirling vortex acted as a catalyst, causing small white particles of mana to gather around it. They danced and twirled in the air, *sizzling* as they collided with the intense magical forces. The mixture of the white particles and the swirling vortex created a brilliant display of radiant light, accompanied by a *bright flash*.

The vortex continued to spin, its speed increasing with every passing moment. The concentrated energies within it built up, crackling and popping with raw power. The air around me seemed to tremble with anticipation, creating a faint rumble that echoed through the space.

The culmination of raw mana and concentrated power within the vortex reached its peak. The intense energy caused a mighty *boom* to reverberate, shaking the immediate surroundings. The brilliant light emitted from the vortex illuminated the area, casting a soft *glow* on everything it touched.

The light was so bright that it lit up the whole chamber, showing me the size of this humongous place and the whole Bloodwell which was no less than a pond itself.

Phew*

With a final flourish, I released the vortex, allowing the accumulated energy to disperse into the surrounding space. The remnants of the mana particles gently scattered, twinkling and fizzling as they faded into the air. The echoes of power slowly dissipated, leaving behind a profound silence and a lingering sense of awe.

With these changes, I felt a surge of confidence and excitement. The transformation had bestowed upon me not only physical alterations but also an enhanced connection to the wellspring of magical energy that flowed through the world. It was a gift that I would not take for granted, and I eagerly anticipated exploring the depths of my newfound powers.

"Ah, why don't I try that?" I had a stupid experiment idea at the moment, so why not give it a try?... Or should I wait until Blaze comes out? I should at least be able to see his new form before becoming a lab rat in my own experiment.

The anticipation was growing, and I found myself wondering when Blaze would emerge from the depths of Bloodwell. 

Time seemed to stretch, making each passing moment feel like an eternity. I sat near the shore, patiently waiting, my thoughts consumed by the possibilities of what Blaze's new form might be like.
