<h4>Chapter 158: True mana (V)</h4>
"Wow, I never noticed I was that fast." ke surprised by the realization.
Stars act as mana storage and purifier, so when ke underwent a fusion process that fused his 3 elements together, it gave him twice the amount of mana as those on the same level and increased the potency of mana, hence increasing the strength of his spells, but it had a drawback.
ke needed a greater amount of energy to fill up his stars whenpared to those with 2 elements, but what shocked Castiel and Brian was the fact that a gap of 4 stars was between them.
Unknown to them, it was all because of one of the space element''s passive. The space element made a chronomancer more sensitive to his /her surroundings and that included mana, also it granted a default mana control greater than that of the other elements.
(AN: I hope you guys can picture how overpowered the space element and why I am limit it, especially the time authority.)
Also, ke had been receiving various training to increase his mana control, making him able to quickly and effectively drain the energy store in a beast core.
"I am tired, I will be going to bed..." ke said to Brian and Castiel, leaving them bbergasted.
"Did he just sleep, on us?" Brian asked Castiel just to make sure his eyes were working.
"Yup…" Castiel replied.
ke had no idea that the reason they were awake was that they were waiting for him, but since he was already fast asleep, they decided to follow suit.
…
The following morning…
[System upgradesplete. System skills now avable to host.]
"Huuh?" ke groaned as he opened his eyes.
''Are you back and why did you ghost all of a sudden without any information?'' ke asked a mental question as he rubbed his eyes.
[Yeah I am back and how was I to know I would undergo an upgrade just because you formed the 3rd pir.] The system said.
''True…'' ke couldn''t help but agree to the system''s words.
If it had been after he formed the 2nd pir, it would have been understandable since it was half of the protectiveyer, but the 3rd pir was totally unexpected.
"How do feel, any changes?" ke asked.
[Why don''t you check for yourself...] The system said with a ''smirk''.
[Host information:
Name: ke Wilson
Strength: Average.
Condition: healthy
Realm: third pir of the Champion realm.
Awakened elements: Lightning, Fire, and space.
Current location: Unknown.
System skills:
·? ? ? ? Detection range (300m) (Active)
·? ? ? ? Barrier (Active)
·? ? ? ? Mind link (Active)
·? ? ? ? Mental boost (Active) (passive)
·? ? ? ? Battle mode (Active) (Passive)
]
(AN: lol, my poor naming skills are back at it XD)
''Wow, the detection range got tripled. Three new skills, let''s check it out.'' ke rubbed his palms together as he selected the mind link skill.
[Mind link: When someone/ people who possess a part of the All-father''s consciousness is within 20 meters from the host, the system is able to form a mental link with all parties, enabling them to share their thoughts.]
''This solves a lot of issues.'' ke couldn''t hide the joy in his eyes. He felt like immediately trying out the skill on Brian and Castiel who were still fast at sleep, but he decided to hold himself till he was done.
[Mental boost:
(Active): Once activated, the system converts the host''s mana into electric charges that supercharge the brain, causing an increase in its efficiency to more than 2 twice the original efficiency.
(Passive): In order for the brain to handle the stress whiches along with the system''s enhanced skills, the host''s brain cells were forced to undergo an upgrade that increased its processing speed, brainpower, and memory capacity.
Note: This skill leaves the host''s brain cells drained after use and the adverse effects are proportional to how long it is used.)]
''That exins why I suddenly became tired…'' ke thought to himself as he recalled what happened when he stopped cultivating.
[Battle mode:
(Active): On the host''s permission, the system would be able to take control of the host''s body, while the host''s consciousness takes the ce of the system until he cancels the skill.
During the battle mode state, the system is able to use the host''s body, skills, elements, and it''s knowledge, but the host will experience a harsh bacsh when the skill is deactivated.
(Passive): When the host loses consciousness and his life is perceived as being threatened, the system would automatically take over and if the threat is assessed to be greater than the host''s power, its first priority is to get to safety.]
''Not of fan of being controlled by a system, but damn, these upgrades are fire!'' Although he didn''t like the conditions of the battle mode, ke couldn''t help but think about the possible things he could do with them.
''If this is an upgrade just for the champion realm, then I wonder what the next upgrade will be.'' ke thought with an unbridled smile on his face.
''Alright, time to test the mind link out.'' ke said with an evil grin as he stared at Castiel and Brian who were still sleeping.
[Does the host want to activate Mind link?] With just a thought, a notification popped up.
''Yes.''
"Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3." ke''s smile intensified when he saw them groaning.
"Rise and shine!"
"Hu?"
"What the fuck?!"
Almost at the same time both of them woke up and began looking around, it was when they saw ke''s grin that knew he had done something.
"What''s going on, what did you do?" Castiel asked.
''It''s what I call a mind link.'' ke.
"Holy cow!" The two stood instantly stood up when they heard ke''s voice without his mouth moving.
[Since he is hell-bent on messing with you guys, let me get this over with and do the exnation.] The system''s voice in their heads shocked everyone including ke.
After convincing them that it wasn''t a ghost or the owner of the facility trying to mess with their minds, the system brought their attention to the most important topic at the moment, the ck fog.
