Chapter 890: Ruby's Evolution
Chapter 890: Ruby's Evolution
-----
All the Mana I could muster was concentrated and then crystalized inside of my chest, right next to my heart. And when I meant all, I mean it, all of it, 100% of my total Mana. Doing something so risky would usually make a person pass out instantly, and I felt it the moment my Mana hit absolute zero, my body felt slightly lethargic and exhausted, but I was overall fine.
My powerful Physique, my many Passive Skills, and several other factors allowed me to easily brush out what would make others pass out, even people at higher ranks too. But not me, I was just fine with it, with all of it!
FLASH!
A blue colored crystal materialized in my chest; it was done. Although I could easily enchant it now with other elements to make it, so the mana is always of a chosen element, that wasn't really good for me. I needed the attribute-less mana so I can conjure skills, elemental mana doesn't work with Skills, for some reason.
The small crystal released waves of Mana into the rest of my body, suddenly, it felt like all the mana I lost was regained, and now I even had a whole new reserve to fill, doubling my total Mana Reserves.
Ding!
[You have created a [Mana Core]: [Rank 1 (Initial Stage)]!]
[The Bonus Mana you've accumulated within the Mana Core is 1.800.000!]
[The Mana has been supplied back to your body, refilling your total Mana reserves back to full.]
"Hahaha… Yes, this is it."
I laughed rather viciously, the feeling of even more overwhelming power coursing through my veins made me feel excited and utterly joyous. With this amount of Mana, I could do much, much more than ever before.
Hell, I could perhaps even conjure more of my ancient techniques or spells, even more, perhaps I could even use it through Creation to craft all sorts of advanced magical technology, spaceships, magic guns, cannons, mechanical armors, and more.
Back then I had so little Mana I could only dream of these things, but now, with this and the power of the Grand Creator Subclass, all of these Dreams are finally within my grasp. To develop the Mana Core, I need to supply it with as much new Mana as it can store, doubling it over each Rank. The process will naturally increase the Stages. I'll do this when I sleep.
The only thing left to do now is to evolve these two.
"Ruby, Blood."
Both of my Familiars appeared before me, overflowing with strong auras, and their big tails wagging with excitement. They were hiding inside my shadows, their giant figures looming out of it, anybody that would had seen them appear would have been scared out of their lives.
Ruby was an already roughly fifty meters tall, so big people could see him from several kilometers away. His latest evolution granted him demonic abilities, becoming a vampiric demonic dragon, but there was still a lot of room for him to grow.
Meanwhile, Blood was just a larger wolf, standing at almost ten meters of height, he also had quite a lot of room for growth. He was weaker than Ruby because he was just an old wolf we picked up, there was nothing special about him unlike the Wyvern Egg I transformed into a Vampire before it hatched.
However, that's where evolution is important, with enough materials, even a lame wolf can become a powerful three-headed monstrosity, or more. There is no necessity for special bloodlines or talents, we'll simply inject them into his body using materials.
And I had quite the perfect ones for the two of them, starting with Ruby, I offered him almost every material type from the dragons we fought in that dungeon, including the three versions of the boss, the holy light, black flames, and normal mutations.
I wish I could offer him materials from a true dragon like the White Dragon at the Mithril Mountains, but that will have to wait for his next evolution to five stars, sadly.
And as for Blood, I had several wolf-type materials, including the pelt, flesh, bones, blood, canines,, and eyes of a powerful A Rank Boss in the Stronghold Ruins, a creature from a Dungeon called "Beastly Dark Woods", which is called "Fenrir's Descendant" and is a giant fifty-meter big wolf covered on chains, black fur, and crimson eyes.
Lastly, I also added Infernal Hounds into his evolution materials.
"Alright, you two better become something strong."
The Magic Circles activated, and while my mother and grandma walked out into the graveyard to put some washed clothes to dry by the sun and were startled to see two giant monsters flashing brightly in front of them, they began evolving.
FLAAASH! FLAAASH!
"W-What's happening? Blake, what are you doing with those guys?" My mother asked me from afar.
"I'm evolving them. Tamed Monsters can also evolve on their own, did you know, mom?" I asked her with a smile. She was completely clueless about that because it wasn't even well known in this world.
Because everyone relied mostly on spirits, tamed monsters were rare, the art of taming had only gone so far, and even the summoners didn't really tamed monsters other than that one girl that had been mostly forgotten by now.
"W-What?!"
"ROOOOAARR!"
The roar of Ruby interrumpted my mother's words as his gigantic body was now even larger, almost reaching a hundred meters. The nearest neightbors who were several hundreds of meters away from our house walked out in a hurry to see a big crimson and black dragon, with golden scales decorating a few of its body parts roaring ferociously.
Any hint of youthfulness was no longer on his face, as Ruby completely looked like a mighty adult dragon, with a rough-looking face with a sharp chin, golden horns decorated his head, three pairs of them spiraling upwards and to the sides. He now had four golden eyes and a fifth crimson one in the middle of his forehead, and his tail turned into two long and sharp-ended ones.
His wings spread, revealing sharp golden claws, while crimson and black scales decorated the rest of his body, he released a mighty aura of authority and pride, like nothing this little former wyvern ever exuded.
"Congrats, Ruby, you've finally become an Actual Dragon."
