Chapter 202: Mana Around the Heart (1)
James stood up after a short time and then relaxed himself by inhaling the cold air deeply.
[Are you all right?]
"I'm fine, my lady, thank you." he smiled as he looked at the colourful snake wrapped around his right arm.
"You've caused quite a bit of trouble, little one," James suddenly said, and with that, he released his body, thinking that he could now test the power of this element.
His right arm was the same arm that held the holy sword Clarent. Normally he would try to attack with the holy sword, but these flames had more than enough uses. That's exactly why he relaxed quite a bit and tried to feel the power of the flame in his whole body.
As soon as he thought he had managed to feel this power in its full form, he pulled his arm backwards and then swung.
"SWIIP!!!"
The air was cut with an incredibly thin sound, almost as if it was screaming.
As James made his move, the snake's shape changed and the colourful flames began to move in waves over the ground. In just a few seconds a colourful display of huge flames, rising to a height of almost five metres, was waiting for all to see.
Suddenly the flames roared and rose into the sky in serpentine patterns almost ten metres high.
James's attack was like a ticking time bomb and this was only one of the attack schemes, there were thousands of them in James's brain.
On top of that, he had only pushed 5% of his mana into this attack, so such an attack could happen even with only this much mana integrity.
The only question that remained in his mind was this:
"What would happen if Desmond managed to deliberately add 8 sacred fire to the attacks in the slashing section of his Sword Art?"
As James was filled with these thoughts, he realised that there was nothing more for him to do here, although he didn't think much about whether or not he should return to the village.
This was because he had just gained the power and although he knew that he would not get out of control, such fear was eating him from the inside out.
He stopped using 8 Sacred Fire and then looked in the direction of the village and spoke:
"I shouldn't go back to the village, I still need to consume dragon hearts." James sat back down and then pulled the poisoned heart of a young dragon from his inventory.
The heart looked more than disgusting, James might have voluntarily sent all sorts of poison down his stomach, but at least he hadn't eaten something raw.
[Are you going to eat that?] Nyx sent a message, obviously disgusting even to someone who had lived for billions of years.
James shook his head after reading this message and then said, "I need pure mana, we all know that once I cook this heart, the mana in it will dissipate. I have to create my fifth magic ring as fast as possible."
After James's words, there was no other message, he had no mentality left to respond to messages anyway, indeed, the disgusting rate of the dragon heart he held in his hand was like 100%.
He took a deep breath and then took a huge bite of the raw dragon's heart. After biting off almost half of the heart, he started to chew it and chewed the heart while waiting in a focused manner.
He couldn't vomit even if he was feeling very nauseous, doing so would destroy any mana he might have gained.
Two dragon hearts meant almost two magic rings, and he had no intention of passing up the opportunity.
After chewing the bitten piece almost fifty times, he managed to swallow it. At that moment he realised what was coming up from his stomach and held his mouth to prevent himself from vomiting.
Before he had finished, he suddenly threw all the remaining morsel of the dragon heart into his mouth and started chewing on a heart the size of a baseball.
He was less nauseous now, he seemed to be getting used to it strangely, but that didn't change the level of disgustingness of what was still going on.
For a few seconds after the dragon had chewed and swallowed its heart, it just breathed in and out, there was no way to describe the disgusting taste in its mouth. Even the disgustingness of the blood he had swallowed from the dragon's heart was on a whole other level.
Still, what he had tried to do had worked. Indeed, as Abby had said, the magnitude of the magical energy, the mana that had entered James's body, was as much as the mana produced in James's rings so far. Creating a magic ring with so much mana would indeed be no problem at all.
When James sat down in a cross-legged position, he closed his eyes and then started to collect the mana that had formed in his body, especially around his heart.
A really large amount of mana had gathered around his heart.
The mana gradually became thinner and began to take the form of another ring that surrounded his heart. The ring became thinner and thinner and then finished surrounding the heart. This was not the final stage of the magic ring formation, though.
James knew that there were all sorts of things he still had to do.
Firstly, he had to refine the stored mana, which had been easy since traces of the elements he had always used were stored in his body's magic scope, and the magic rings were filled with three types of elements.
At the moment, he did not know which element to place in the new magic ring, after all, he did not use any elements other than the elements of fire, time and poison.
After all these thoughts, he knew that he had to start the refining process, it was going to be a difficult process. He had to endure as much as he could.
