BXBX NOVEL Chapter 433 Mark And Rita's Awakening
"It is a bit bloody, but this is the Great Tusk\'s Magic Crystal…" I said, once we arrived at the barn where the horses were sleeping, we decided to make this place our hidden place to do magical stuff.
"Perfect, it is big and red-colored, it has a ton of mana, and unlike Hollows, it has little corrupted Mana too! Maybe we should go hunt more monsters later." The Great Spirit nodded. She seemed awfully happy about this.
"Err, maybe later, once we grow stronger, Great Spirit." Mark said. "More importantly, how does this Magic Circle process goes?"
"It shouldn\'t be complicated. I\'ve already done it here now so I\'ve got the hang of how to properly do it. Let\'s build the magic circles quickly! One for the two of you." Said the Great Spirit.
"Alright then! Mark, Rita, help me out!" I said.
"Soon, soon I will become a witch!" Rita laughed.
"A witch with a gun?" Mark wondered.
"W-Well, yeah!" Rita said. "I wonder if I could eventually get myself a flying broom…"
"I don\'t think that would be possible…" I sighed.
"Well, let\'s leave her dream." Mark said.
"Right, then, let\'s continue…"
Like that, through the next few minutes, and using the instructions of the Great Spirit, we made two big magic circles composed of the Great Tusk\'s blood, and many other materials spread all around them.
Runes inscribed using the blood and the "mud" of the Warrior-type Hollow also helped. And of course, my blood too, to enchant and purify the corrupted mana. I have a pretty good regeneration anyways, so it is not hard for me to give off a bit of my sap-like blood.
"The Great Tusk\'s Magic Crystal here will feed both magic circles with its large quantity of Mana." The Great Spirit instructed. The Great Tusk\'s Magic Crystal was on top of a small node made of runes connecting to the other two magic circles.
Building magic circles and inscribing runes was a rather complicated "science" of its own. It had a lot to do with connecting the components and making mana flow through them correctly, all while also achieving the results you desire. I felt like slowly, I was learning more and more about this.
"Alright so we just sit here cross-legged?" Mark wondered.
"Yeah, just like this?" Rita asked.
"Yep! Just stay in there and don\'t move. The Magic Circle will do the trick. Elayne, I\'ll go with each one of them to inscribe some spells that I think will be useful for them. While that happens, you\'ll have to supply me with mana constantly, are you ready?" The Great Spirit asked.
"Leave it to me! I\'ve got a lot of Mana Potions as well." I said, holding one in my hand whenever I need more Mana.
"Alright then! Let\'s begin!" The Great Spirit seemed excited, as she imbued her Spiritual Energy and my own Mana into the magic circles, and everything started.
FLAAAASH!
The Runes started activating, glowing brightly and dancing around the magic circle. In mere seconds, they connected with wondrous magical colors, a sight I never could have ever expected to see in real life before.
"Now I\'ll go!"
"Alright!"
The Great Spirit flew into Mark\'s Heart first, and then into Rita\'s Heart, she took about a minute with each one. Once she was finished, I had already drank two Mana Potions, and felt my stomach was about to burst.
Unlike in Arcadia with the game-like mechanics where we can consume as many potions as we want without getting stomachache, Earth doesn\'t have any of such mechanics… I think I can drink at most another one before my stomach explodes…
FLAAASH! FLAAASH!
Once the magic circle creations were done, the magic circles in the ground suddenly disappeared into ashes, leaving no trails behind. The big magic circle of the Great Tusk also was emptied of Mana and then shattered into pieces, leaving only empty glass.
"Phew… Ugh, I feel a bit of pain all over me…" Mark sighed. "But is it done, right?"
"Yep, it should be done now!" I nodded. "Though it might be hard to use magic right away…"
"Hmm, I\'ve found out their attributes and added spells that will eventually evolve on their own into higher versions. It is up to their own imagination and learning to improve themselves." The Great Spirit said. "Rita\'s Element is Darkness, interestingly enough, and Mark is Nature and Fire."
"I have two elements?" Mark wondered. "Fire… then maybe like… [Ember]?"
FLUOSH!
Suddenly, a small spark of fire emerged on top of his index finger, illuminating the dark surroundings.
"Ah, it is hot but it doesn\'t burn either…" He said in surprise. "Are our attributes connected with our Arcadia\'s Player Avatars, by any chance?"
"Something like that!" Said the Great Spirit. "Rita also had been awakening some Blood Magic but that\'ll take some time."
"Blood Magic and Darkness Magic… Perfect for a Witch!" Rita celebrated. "Now… Darkness, come to me!"
FLUOOOSH!
Rita finally was able to fulfill her dreams as a cloud of darkness began to surround her momentarily, making her look evil… But that was it.
"Cough, cough… Ugh, agh! How do I turn this off?! H-Help! I can\'t see anything!"
She was suffocating herself…
"Just say [Dispel] for spells to disappear." I said.
"[Dispel]!"
POOF!
The black smoke quickly dissipated.
"What you used is the [Dark Smoke] Spell, it conjures black smoke to confuse enemies and temporarily blind them, or even help you hide in the darkness of the night." The Great Spirit was our Magic Teacher at this point.
"Ah, then which ones can shoot black lasers?" Rita wondered.
Seriously, does she only cares about that?
