Chapter 54: Quicksand

This is it, the next fight is against Irela, the whirlwind of blades. I have a plan but what if she has a Sense skill? I'll be trapping myself. Erecting sand pillars for cover won't work against drill attacks, which leaves me with hiding or using my force redirecting barrier. I can try both. Actually, now that I think about force redirection should work best against the small lightweight blades. They don't have the mass to power through the barrier.

The trick against that barrier is to ...

Chapter 53: Mistakes

"We have Alysara versus Jowaru!"

The announcer really needs to work on hyping up the crowd and putting excitement in her voice.

The rules say "Don't bring armor into the arena" it does not say that you can't make the armor. The reason why is simple, to create an even playing field where only one person's skills and talents shine. Weapons have no restrictions, at least not unreasonable restrictions. I don't think they'd let a cannon in. This still poses a...

Chapter 52: Rival

"I'm gonna be honest, I didn't think you could've won this match up but I was pleasantly surprised," Esofy says.

Although Esofy is set to fight in another coliseum her fight isn't for a while so she watched mine. My next fight shouldn't be for another hour so I can see my family. In fact, they are coming to me.

"That was amazing!" Yafe says, eyebright with adoration.

"Yeah! How you made more of yourself and tricked the other person, where were you? Was she e...

Chapter 51: First Win

"I had a very early start on things."

"Even an early start wouldn't account for your level of growth, you're a prodigy"

I frowned. As usual, everyone jumps to the same conclusion.

"It was a product of hard work and opportunity, talent had nothing to do with it" I grumpily say

"In any case, our time should almost be up and we've drifted off-topic. I look forward to our next meeting"

"Goodbye, Kayafe"

I end the connection seeing only six thousand mana left in...

Chapter 50: Ancestral meeting.

I breathed a sigh of relief when the airship control crystal was done. A full week of nonstop meditating here and growing the crystal. I'd let an enchanter grow the spell crystal but they can't rest their mind like I can and you can't just swap out enchanters.

I had found a better way to make the batteries, I discovered this when trying to make a battery of just one element type. Normally it won't work this way because of the MM force. It would force the crystal together so the cavities...

Side chapter 3: Safyr, the Guardian

AN: Showing a little bit of Safyrs history as well as revealing a few key details that Aly has yet to learn.

Safyr flew high in the skies, scanning the ocean below. Up at this height, the mana currents brought mana to the nexus. The elves had gotten unusually annoying, especially those new three-eyed elves their progenitor fathered.

The constant wars the growing population of annoying, arrogant lesser beings not knowing their place in the world. The few lesser beings wh...

Chapter 49: Sense Soul

I float around my soul barrier, tethered so I don't lose my way.

I really can't see anything...  I'm using [Astral Projection] to try to see if I can learn anything about my curses but all I see is my soul barrier.

I return to my soul, close and seal the door, and wake back up.

"For starters how can I even leave my soul if I am my soul?" I muse.

I then move to my backup plan. Much like how I got [Sense Mana] I feel for the souls around me, or more accurat...

Chapter 48: Ancestral Revelation

AN: This week will only have 3 chapters too, sorry about that. A co-worker took the day off so I had to cover for her. I've also been taking 2 or 3 hours a day for myself, it's helped a lot in the sense that I don't feel like I am forcing myself to write. I finally moved to part-time so I'll have more time to write and catch up hopefully next week I can have more chapters for you guys.

"Are you Kayafe?" I ask, trying to maintain the connection. I was blowing through my reserv...

Chapter 47: Mana Toxicity

Ting! Mana Toxicity Tolerance has met the requirements for a breakthrough. Mana Toxicity Tolerance will now continue leveling past level 50!

5th Breakthrough: You've been exposed to so much mana it almost killed you. Now you'll resist acute toxicity a little more and push back on it more effectively.

"Mana can instantly infuse into your body's basic building blocks, destroying them, rupturing whatever it is. It'll damage the code of life, that in ...

Chapter 46: A study of Crystals

The amount of mana a spell crystal can process is proportional to its size. I noted down in my scroll my observation. I had already written how the spell crystals work, how they are made, and how the mana is transformed.

Simply put, a small spell crystal is effectively useless, well, except for objects of study. The larger the better, but they have a weakness, they can't hold a capacity. That is they can't build up a large amount of the spell mana for a massive effect, they can...

Chapter 45: Homewrecker.

"Sails out!" The pilot shouts.

"Sails out!" "Sails out!" The command relays and the lifting sails fold out and open up. A strong gust of wind shook the airship as it lifts into the air. The drive sails then open, propelling up slowly forward.

I nervously checked my armor, making sure each seems I made is secure and holding the plates correctly. The plates are still riveted to the cloth but this is my last line of defense, I want it perfect. We rose higher and higher, the concentra...

Chapter 44: Test Flights.

Announcement: Next week will only have three chapters. I bit off more than I can chew with five a week and I can feel signs of burnout. It doesn't help that I am doing all this and working a job which is adding to burnout. Constantly trying to play "catch-up" also doesn't help. 

I want to have a comfortable ten chapter backlog so I can do things like double releases or release five chapters for Christmas but now I have fallen to four chapters backlog and need to build some back up....

Chapter 43: Spell crystal

"Are you sure you can make such enchantments?" Yukika asked.

"It'll be mana intensive, but I have my Kyhosa; the biggest problem would be getting the right materials."

"We would need several Domr wind pearls the size of your ice pearl," Chyzu said.

"Perhaps there is another way; the Domrs make them, why can't we?" I said, an idea already forming in my mind. Crystals grow slowly, in a solution of mineral water, unlike gems which are superheated and crushed together before coo...

Chapter 42: Scouting

"How many levels did you gain today, Alysara?" Chyzu asked. We are walking back to town after killing the Chayaotmos.

"Thirty-seven," I answered.

"Day one and already a third of the level of an average Kheshamo..." Chyzu said depressingly.

"Killing monsters is good experience, especially when they are higher level than you, and she killed some of them by herself; honestly, I thought she'd be higher," Esofy said.

"I was capped at level thirty for the first round of mons...

Chapter 41: Water Eels

I've been making fairies with one mana mainly, so I don't burn up my mana too fast, but now I kinda want to see how big my explosions can get.

I summon a fairy with the maximum mana I could then empowered it twice. With the help of [Double Think], I send another double empowerment and my new [Fairy Explosion]. The fairy exploded with a loud boom, the blast reaching the size of a house! Large pieces of unstable beauty mana flew out, and a good number of those exploded as well. The shock ...
