Timothy usually loathed spending a massive amount of system points, or mana points come to think of it, but in this particular situation that they were in, the prior was justified. A purer mana quality on its own wasn't enough to survive the squabbles of The Old Sea, not with the team's current levels that is, so he had to rely on the grand modifications that the system offered in order to survive. With enough upgrades, even his level six mana could look and act gigantic!

Timothy, and the team returned to the waters. Once they swam a hundred or so meters, he released the Sea Orc from the crippling set of extra bones that he had riddled it with. The beast was free now, well, its spine was still messed up, but the hundreds of Albino Scavenger Leeches that lived within the dragon, said that they could heal the dragon’s spine, so it was far from dying!
It was expensive for Timothy to let the dragon live, but he didn’t want to upset those little guys eith...

Timothy turned around in a flash, and saw something that he would rather not see. He spotted this half-a-foot tall, rat-like creature, and didn't know what to think of this. Considering that the creature also had a belly button, he got even more confused, because this had to be a mammal, rather than a rat or anything like that.
“What in the name of Falakus, Firunal, and Farazal are you?!” He asked, and although he didn't worship those gods himself, he mentioned their name as a way t...

Timothy cranked the Bone Multiplier ability to the max, and attacked the Sea Orc with it. He multiplied a bunch of bones, as the name would suggest, and thus created these whole, random bones across the target's spine!
The idea was simple, he wanted to make the target immobile, so it wouldn't be able to flee anymore. This was the best course of action, because after all, there weren't many other ways to deal with a huge, serpent-like dragon that could swim up to 130 km/h! He attacked.

Timothy followed the Sea Orc that he was hunting, and he tried his best to keep up with the serpentine menace! This has quickly become a battle of speed, and agility, because he needed a lot of speed to keep up with the Sea Orc, and not to mention, he had to attack it as well.
“Almost…” His jaws clamped.
The sea orc started out swimming at a normal pace, well, it was normal in comparison to what it truly was capable of. Its fifty-foot long body knew how to maneuver the sea w...

Timothy kept blowing up every Raptor Orclet that headed towards him. It was a brutal way to handle things, but considering that the raptor swarm fled only once most of their swarm was wiped out, he hadn't had any other option but to fight them. Exploding their skeletons was his way of fighting them cheaply, and killing them quickly!
The battle cost him well over one-hundred-and-fifty thousand mana points overall, so he wasn’t too excited about him and the team winning the battle here....

The Raptor Orclets were horrible creatures that harassed The Old Sea, and its borders. They were nothing short of weird lizards who shouldn't be in the water to begin with, they were invasive creatures, and the sea didn't have room for them, but yet they were adaptive as much as they were invasive!
This micro universe was said to be a few thousand years old, but that may not be the case. Some of the recorded goblin history may be a few thousand years old, but this universe was a lot ol...

The team continued to swim through The Old Sea. Arvena had never been to the Ruins of Aqumus before, but she firmly believed that it was easy to find the location, on the count that the ruins are huge. It shouldn't be hard to miss them, even under the sea. Furthermore, she's read enough books about it to know how to analyze her surroundings within The Old Sea, she even labeled herself an expert! Progress was inevitable.
They were five kilometers away from the sea shores right now, and ...

“My god… it feels so nice to have these motherfucking stingray wings again. I bet I could swim more than 100 km/h with these bad boys, faster than any fish could ever swim!” He thought, and this train of thoughts was giving him a sort of euphoria, he felt as if he was in the clouds!
The fact of the matter was that plenty of fish could outswim him, even those who didn't have a strong magical arsenal to aid them, but he was avoiding all facts right now. He was in a deep fantasy land...

The team beamed through the air, and made it to the vicinity of their destination in two weeks time. It was very easy to travel when they had dragons to their side, and not to mention, the dragons became a bit faster and stronger ever since their mana leveled up! A greater mana quality seems to give them very physical features, such as strength, speed, and tougher scales! This made sense.
Iron Claw the Wicked has had very tough scales, which hinted that his mana quality had also been ve...

The eighteen mana roots were completely depleted, so there was no point in hanging around in this needle universe anymore. They could spend a bit more time here to mess with the giant fish, sure, but that was about all of the activities that they could do, there wasn’t anything else. Purpureus Mundi Aqus was otherwise really desolate, so desolate, that the team didn’t even understand how all the fish hadn't starved away already!
This sea was barely a kilometer wide, so it shouldn't ...

“Haha-” Tim released a fake laugh, “The fish planted them, huh? That makes sense.”
Afterwards, he tried to force a question in, as he wanted some information. “So it is you who planted them, then… judging from the marks on your wrists, you crossed a few realms already, so you must've harvested a bunch of roots in your lifetime yourself?”
“I have, yes.” Genta answered, and in the meantime she was looking upwards, and then she asked. “What year is it in Valporovu...

[Congratulations, your mana quality is now at level three! This level is otherwise known as Pit Mana, and it too has a very descriptive name, because now you have a far bigger mana pool to fill, hence it being a pit.] The system beeped, she was very efficient at explaining the levels that he was on.
“Let me guess, I need 400,000 mana points to fill this one?” He asked, and he was getting nervous.
Instantly, the system answered. [520,000 mana points, actually. This pool is big,...

Arvena finally leveled up! A magnificent blue glow erupted around her as well, and now, she was at level three in the Fintelus Apprentices Realm of mana!
It was a spectacular achievement for most, but in this case, this level-up managed to only lessened her overall depression by a nudge. This was a good level to be in, but once she remembered that she had been beyond the Fintelus’ Apprentices realm of mana just a few weeks ago, it became difficult for her to be happy about this level-...

Timothy was absolutely baffled by the fact that he leveled up his mana quality, in mere seconds, without suffering the immense pain that typically came with these upgrades! He didn’t know what to think about it, he did have a flash-upgrade upgrade before, at the library of Rempegana and it too was amazing, but getting flash upgrades at these higher levels was priceless! He was beyond happy.
The system noticed his accelerating heartbeat, so after a moment, she described. [Flash upgrade...

The mana roots kept growing, the more they fed on the mana pool that the team provided. Their mana pools were eventually emptied, which was alarming, but they still kept at it because they weren't in any direct danger right now.
The team kept pouring every bit of mana that they generated themselves, and at this point the roots had grown so big that even Gustav and the dragons who were above the water, were getting every drop of their mana sucked in by the roots! The dragons didn't have ...

They had been in a sub-liquid-like form all this time, because that was the key part of the process, but this part didn't bother them whatsoever, because it wasn’t painful at all. Having sub-liquid bones and flesh for ten minutes was exceptionally painless, it was even therapeutic actually, because even their light joint pains disappeared during that period...

Timothy couldn't ignore the sensation he was feeling, he couldn’t turn a blind eye to it. He felt capable of summoning a portal that would lead him to the needle universe of Purpureus Mundi, and moments later, he decided that this was exactly what he wanted to do!
Arvena was close to him, slicing through the boar meat, so he had to step away from her, for the sake of not compromising their meat supply with a random portal. It was best to be safe.

Despite the name, this didn’t mean that his mana had a golden color now, it was still as blue as the ocean, but it still was a great level to attain. This sort of mana quality was also known as level seven, and as of now, he only had to pass through another level, the eighth one, and then he'd...

He wanted to treat them well, because the journey in front of them may be even more perplexing than what they endured recently!
