Chapter 37: Core
On a star dyed in nights, the span of time comparatively became the epitome of inadequacy and under that 'natural', starry phenomenon, lives on the star tend to adapt tendencies found in animals, on Earth.
Characteristically, animalistic food and sleep traits which were to be fulfilled whenever a need occurred, rather than at specified times.
While the characterised 'rules' or 'common sense' as humans' were meant to be followed after by sinners that bear the moniker of a Noble, no matter the sin.
And that consequent trait made it seem as if except for the so-called Nobles, everybody else on [Ivleunnil] were beasts and animals instead, of course, this merely was the view of somebody who had experienced a contradicting life on Earth.
Namely, of Iria's,
And,
Raven's.
--
Arriving at the Stidolphe's, the young man's chivalrous elegance painted him perfect, as he led a beautiful young woman donning a baggy hoody and hot pants, into and the mansion and up the stairs to the third floor, till her room before he retreated back to his room with a playful smirk.
While the couple had yet to notice their own states before getting out of the car with black tinted windshields, ladies with curiously heightened observations helped them in playing the game, 'spot the difference.'
From the thin strands of hair that stuck a bit beneath the young couple's foreheads, subtly dishevelled hair and clothes, hickeys that they seemed to have tried to hide, lipstick smudges, clothes that refused to unstick from their still precipitating bodies, heated and chillier breaths and presences, subtly yet noticeable wet patch over the hot pants of the lady, who tried to hide it by pulling down her hoody, and last but not the least, wet trails that trailed down from her inner thighs….
These….
Were more than enough proofs for them to vividly imagine what had transpired in the car that was filled with a funny scoosh that they recognised a bit too well.
Ahem.
There were those with the sin of [Lust], it would be weirder if they didn't recognise the scent!
"Notify that for a few days I would prefer to be alone" Raven commanded the maid, who followed after him.
"Yes" She affirmed, her disappointment hidden, and remained out of his room while he walked in.
Jumping on the bed, Raven laid there in silence for a few minutes while thoughts coiled his mind that throbbed in pain, but was paid no heed.
Mana gently creeped into the room and softly laid over him, while Raven laid with a comfortable weight on his back, feeling that plump proportions obviously of a woman, whose expression of selfless love was expressed through her actions, as his headache gradually eased while that sense of comfortable warmth drowned him deeper into a slumber.
And, gradually, Raven drifted off to sleep.
While that plump ethereal woman over him cuddled with him, helping his memoirs to combine into one as she hinted on creating a technique unique to him.
'A gift' Said an adorably lovable voice that had once woken him up when against the [Lord Of Envy].
She then continued to fuel his consciousness with mana to help out expand and record his memoirs in accordance to his will while laying him over his back as she carefully walked on all fours to lay on his chest, purring softly.
Then, she too gradually drifted off to sleep.
Consequently, for the rest of the hours, [Ivleunnil], for the first time in forever, experienced a phenomenon where the worldly mana layered over the ground, as if snow instead.
--
During the time within the room that was unperturbed, for over a week, Raven laid in an inanimate state, while that ethereal woman's weight and warmth comforted him, while she purred softly, veiling the room as if to not even let a pep out, and to make sure none interrupted him.
Within his mind, memoirs flooded as if to drown him, but his absolute consciousness and her presence halted that phenomenon from unfolding.
Under her 'gift' and his own comprehension and realisation, Raven gained an epiphany as all his memoirs merged to one and all his lives helped him to become Raven Cross.
A man born from a gazillion lives.
On [Ivleunnil], mana was stored in an ethereal sphere within one's body, either in their lower dantian (solar plexus), middle dantian (heart), upper dantian (brain).
But, within his memoirs, there existed methods of 'magic circles' that mostly existed in their middle dantian, as the circles coiled while purifying the blood and flowing with it to pump through every part of one's body.
The difference between the both was that the 'core' method didn't grow, but was purified constantly before morphing that purified mana into their own unique Divinity, while the 'circle' method helped one realise the essence of mana and grow in accordance to the worldly flow of nature, while growing constantly and purifying only at every breakthroughs.
Both methods had their own limitations, while the 'core' method didn't allow one to store more mana than its size, the 'circle' method was limited to 10 circles.
His epiphany was to combine the methods he knew to create something unique for himself.
And,
For an unknown reason,
A thought, 'Triangle is the strongest shape...' believing so, flashed in his mind.
That thought altered the shape of his core and the ring around it.
'A strand for efficiency...a strand for proficiency...a strand for purification…..' Were the 'rules' for his ring.
Same conditional rules were applied to his core, which had taken the shape of a prism instead, but….
Raven's rings were going to be within the core instead.
His core was going to veil over his heart as it was the perfectly efficient path to wield mana, even without mana veins and vessels, since the mana would gradually flow with the blood, through the blood veins and vessels itself.
With those conditional rules applied to three sides of his technique, he pondered over the fourth rule to implement….
'Enchantment….' He declared.
With a brilliant gleam, pinkish crimson colour dyed his consciousness while he formed his core, which was taught and helped to create in the [Ipardmerth, Academy Of Sins]. And since it was an opportunity he let go of, having already experienced it wholly from his memoirs, he had to create his core, on his own either way.
BA-THUMP-!
His heart began to thump frivolously, while that ethereal prism began to take shape over his heart, sizing a bit bigger than his heart.
Chilly, undying blood began to thump, through that ethereal veil.
As he broke out in cold sweat, breathing heavily.
The longest, the greatest prodigy took to form and solidify his core was 23H: 41M: 07S, which was the longest time recorded.
'The longer the time taken, the stronger the mana core' was the belief of the sinners on [Ivleunnil].
But, there were nothing even relatively close to the recorded time, in creating an aura core, since one didn't necessarily need to create a core to store aura, as it would only limit them.
Instead, the gathered and liquidised aura layers over the heart, one just had to tap into it to wield aura.
But there were risks many, since even the slightest unrest could cause one's heart to puncture, resulting in causalities uncalled for, hence either creating a core or tapping into aura required strict and secure guidance.
