章節 3: Making A Body

After gathering all the loot from the corpses and receiving memories of the ones looking like important people, Leon got inside of the library and started look around for the technique. While he was searching for the technique he also took all the books to his spatial bag. When he inherited the titans memories he found out that even the wealth which he accumulated, he couldn't cultivate the first layer. Thus Leon thought maybe he should build an academy and colonize other worlds and took their wealth to cultivate titans body. After having the memories of the deceased magus his world view has changed, this Aroan world have one rule might is right, even he let go everything and live a mortal life that wouldn't make him safe from others. Beside himself have died once and he doesn't a second time, in his previous life there was no road to immortality but here, at least there was a chance.

After a couple of hours he found the technique that he was looking for, and carefully read it through. But he didn't immediately made his preparations for the ritual but he spent his time in the library because he needed to create a mana cultivation technique compatible with his titan body tempering. Day after day he spent his time on table writing and drawing the manual, beside him there was a mountain of crumbled papers which he throw away, his all concentration on the papers. After putting last punctuation on the papers, he hold it between in hands and made a satisfied nod.

"With this initial stage of the cultivation method completed, it will take a bit fine tuning to make perfect but general outline has been made."

He than folded the papers and put them into his spatial bag and took out the [Life Seed Rebirth Manual]. Even though it has life in its name but its content filled with death. For to make a new body with this manual needs massive amount of corpses and elemental materials. Corpses to be sacrificed for the new flesh and elemental materials for innate aptitude mana, whether titan body tempering or his newly made cultivation technique require four main elemental aptitude, it was not a must, but it would be better if he want to proceed faster.

But before he made the ritual, he wanted to loot the treasury maybe he found interesting things in it. Leon leaved the library and walk through the corridors of the school and came to stop in front of nearly three meters height metal door. If he did forged his body, he wouldn't have the chance to open this door because it was inscribed with face recognition magic. Leon knows how to undo these types of inscriptions due to his plundering memories but doing so might trigger an unknown mechanism so he wanted to avoid such an outcome. Leon looked at the door which engraved with carvings and inscriptions then he pressed his both hands to the door, inscriptions on the door glowed a few times and with click sound door opened to the sides with a low creaking. After the door opened, the sight nearly made Leon drooled, the treasury fulled with mana crystals, magical herbs, gold coins, there was all sort of valuable things lying here. He spent days in treasury trying to figure out what types of treasures they are. Leon found a lot of elemental materials to augment his aptitude when he was going to construct his body and also he found two treasures which he liked most one of them was a poison pearl and the other one was a core of a tower spirit.

The poison pearl was a thumb sized gray pearl which was looking like have viscous liquid inside. It has ability to detoxify and poison. The poison pearl also had ability to strengthening itself with poison, it would be in sleep mode in mana pool and only to activate when user consumed poison or wanted to poison someone.

The core of the tower spirit, main component of the tower spirit, it was more like a artificial intelligent. In the ancient times they were used for in magus towers for assisting to experiments and maintain defenses of the tower, hence they still called such. Nowadays they could be used in schools for maintaining security and recording merits and demerits of the students.

After emptying the treasury, Leon went to near of the titan and started to draw inscriptions for the ritual, he was planning to sacrifice the titan corpse and the corpses around here to made his body. Finishing the inscriptions took much of his time after he finished it he started to drag the corpses around the inscriptions then he took all elemental materials and placed them in four direction based on their elements. He walked towards the center, placed a high grade mana crystal then he swiftly leaved the body to the side and returned to the center of the inscriptions. The moment he returned the mana crystal started glow and slowly reduced its size when its fully consumed, the students and titans corpses started melt away and turned to bloody mist. The mist started to turn like whirlpool and little by little, it started to condense in the middle of Leon's chest.

Leon felt a suction force in middle of his chest where the blood mist gathering, his consciousness started blur but he tried hard to retain his consciousness. While the blood mist was gathering, the death mana was entering and grinding the life seed. Leon thought this would be happen and he didn't even try to stop it because the death mana would clear the impurities in the life seed. When all of the corpses turned to blood mist, the materials turned to liquid and sucked into the life seed. Leon's consciousness became crystal clear but he started to feel an unbearable itching from all over his non-existing body. This continuous itching remained with him for days. When all of blood mist and elemental liquid sucked into the life seed, the life started to act like a heart and there was a faint heartbeat continuously coming out it.

With the heartbeat the life seed started to transform into a real heart then Leon's body slowly took its form. From his bones, organs and veins and at last his skin.

His face was same as before, even his body didn't change too much. In his previous life he had a slender physique, right now he had more average build. His brown eyes looking like he didn't took enough sleep and his brown eternal bed-hair also giving this impression. Length of his hairs could be considered medium and a bit wavy.

When Leon came to his senses the unbearable itching was gone and he was feeling a bit cold but it didn't bother him instead made him happy. After two years he finally gain a body for his own. He hugged himself only to notice he was butt-naked.
