Chapter 276 Creating A Magic Circle Inside My Soul!
-----
After we were done with lunch, my father decided to take the rest of the day (by my mother's suggestion) and get to work tomorrow morning. I helped wash the dishes with my mother before she went to the bathroom and then back to her room to rest until dinner. My grandmother said she would sew some scarfs and hats with my mother's spirit wool, so she would keep herself busy. With nothing else to do, I decided to walk to the backyard and sit down cross-legged over the grass. Eleanora had decided to enter my Spirit Orb for what I was going to do.
"Are you sure it will work as you are right now?" She wondered.
"Creating a Magic Circle is nothing too special. And yeah, I had already calculated I would need around 600 MP, which I've successfully accumulated. That should be more than enough to build the Magic Circle and at least a hundred Elemental Runes." I said to Eleanora.
"I wish I could get a Magic Circle as well, but due to my lack of personal Mana, it seems impossible." She sighed.
"I think you could help me though." I said.
"Help? How so?" Eleanora wondered.
"Remember that you're inside my Spirit Orb right now, which is connected to my soul. I will make a Magic Circle inside of my soul by accumulating Mana inside and then creating several runes which I will keep together generating a ring that takes a fragment of my very soul to make. This is a technique invented by old magicians in the outer universe eons ago, which had granted magic brand new abilities, such as chant less and magic circle less magic." I said to Eleanora, as she kept listening attentively.
"Yeah, I know… And?" She wondered.
"Sigh… You're not the brightest, aren't you? Well, you've always been the muscle head of the two." I sighed.
"H-Hey!" Eleanora felt slightly embarrassed.
"You can help me in creating the Magic Circle by adding a fragment of your soul, this way the Magic Circle that is born will be several times stronger, and will also be shared with you as if it were your own magic circle as well. Which means…?" I asked.
"Oh! …Which means?" She asked.
"…Sigh. It means you will be able to also use magic." I said.
"OOOOH! I see. Sorry to not understand… It has been ages since I used magic." She sighed.
"It's fine." I sighed. "I am already used to it, and it honestly makes you cute."
"I-Is being clueless cute?!" Asked Eleanora. "W-Wait, don't tell me that's the charm you find the most atractive of me…"
"Not really, the most atractive thing about you is your bloodthirsty side." I said with a smile.
"I-I wasn't asking for real…" She answered nervously. "But really? how's that charming?"
"I don't know, I might have weird fetishes." I said.
"Y-You've really gotten more open about your thoughts, haven't you, my lord? …I-I mean, Blake." She said.
"I would say the same about you, little girl that asks my mother to reprimand me…" I said rather teasingly.
"I-I did it in a whim, sorry…" She said.
"No need to apologize, I had already apologized to you. Anyways, let's begin this, enough chit-chat. Let's leave that for after we are done."

"I will guide you through each step. Let's first meditate for ten minutes to concentrate enough."
"Very well."
We quickly started the meditation. I closed my eyes and slowly made my Mana circulate across my entire body. I also began to pour Spiritual Essence from my Spirit Orb into the rest of my body, and slowly began to merge both Spirit Essence and Mana into a single combined essence, which looked like a rich and rainbow-colored river flowing across the interior of my body.
Eleanora already began helping as she slowly infused more of her spiritual essence into the stream. Over time, when we had reached the peak of concentration, I gathered all of this enormous quantity of Mana, which had depleted over 600 MP from my reserves, and slowly deposited it into the interior of my soul. I used the Spirit Orb as a shortcut to reach my soul from my own body.
FLASH!
The enormous quantity of energy reached the interior of my soul, flowing everywhere. It was rather chaotic, I had lost my touch a bit. I quickly and desperately gathered all the energy with Eleanora's help, and then used a part of this man with a fragment of my soul, which I detached rather easily with a slight amount of pain and formed a Magic Ring.
To form a Magic Circle, one first needs to create two Magic Rings, which are ring-shaped materializations of pure mana and the soul of the user. It is the pillar of the creation of the Magic Circle, a special way of cultivation of Magic more advanced than merely making Mana circulate around the body. As it allows the strengthening of magic by the accumulation of elemental runes. The more runes you forge inside the magic circle, the more power will elemental magic attain.
I am fairly sure nobody has magic circles in this world because of how complicated it is to make them. People often simply rely in their Spirit Orbs or Spirits to control and circulate elemental magic. Of course, they know about normal magic circles for spells, but I bet not many had ever thought about something as outrageous as putting one of those inside your soul permanently.
"I-It's almost done…!"
Eleanora slowly took a part of her own soul and put it into my own soul, I slowly merged it with the spiritual essence and Mana, forming a second ring. Using both rings, I assembled the magic circle and fused it into my soul, getting permanently merged in it.
FLAAASH!
A magical aura suddenly surged from my body, I felt as if my magical power was overflowing! This entire time I've been only using the most basic magic, but the path towards higher Magic Tiers has finally been opened to me!
