Soon, the first particle reached his hand, being instantly sucked in, His entire projection glowed a brilliant red, before everything in the space stopped, and Daron was pushed out, opening the tightly shut eyes of his real body.
In front of his eyes, Sirious had projected countless silenced notifications.
[Master, your breathing has reached 6 bpm]
[You are consciously clearing your conscious mind]
[Clearing complete]
[Clearing incomplete]
[Clearing complete]
…
[You have activated 'Mana Vision']
[You can visualise the elements within your conscious mind]
[You are using up Vitality to make your projection utilise a suction and repulsion technique]
[Note: This will permanently reduce Vitality]
[Vitality -1]
[Vitality -1]
[Bloodline Inheritance had broken the seal and is replenishing burnt vitality]
[Vitality +1]
[Vitality +1]
[Vitality -1]
[Vitality +1]
[Vitality -1]
[Bloodline Inheritance has stopped supplying vitality]
[Vitality -1]
[You have successfully absorbed fire elemental energy]
[Fire elemental energy is merging with your body]
[9 days have passed]
[Mana + 0.1]
'So, it was not mana vision but elemental visualisation? Sirious, rename [Mana vision] to [elemental vision]'
As Daron continued reading the notifications, his neutral expression slowly turned into a frown.
'I lost 5 Vitality? Thankfully, because of the Bloodline Inheritance, I only lost 2 Vitality'
However, his face completely grew into a dejected one after reading the last notification.
'I spent all that time and Vitality only to increase my mana by 0.1? So, I'll have to do this another 10 times to even begin Basic Spells? What sh*t is that?' He cursed in his mind.
[Out of your currently 25 Vitality, you will only be able to conduct this another 4 times before your Vitality is too low to continue]
'I'll have to speak with the old man for this!' He thought in his mind.
'This cannot do! How can I burn my Vitality like its weeds to barely increase by mana by anything! This is not even a fair exchange, it is robbery!'
As Daron stood up, he could instantly feel the effects of losing the two Vitality. His entire body felt a sense of weakness similar to the feeling of walking around with a heavy bag, and weights put on your limbs.
Fortunately, he soon got used to it and immediately barged into Traitorous' room.
"What is it now?"
"You should already know. I lost a shit tonne of my health for this, and only got 0.1 Mana!"
"…" The old man, who had an annoyed expression plastered on his face, was suddenly put at a loss of words.
'This brat… He was able to accurately analyse the changes in his body within the few minutes between when he finished the technique and now?'
"Haha. Don't worry. This is the price humans must pay in order to utilise the powers of the high-elves. Here." He said as he threw another box. Inside, were 15 spherical pills, deep brown in colour, with a bit of lustre on their surface.
"These are Vitality pills of Grade 1. Each should increase your Vitality by 5. Naturally, the more you use it, the lesser the effects these pills will have. Therefore, most mages need to continuously find pills of higher grades, or other method to increase vitality expended while increasing mana."
"I see" Immediately Daron calmed down, ate one pill, and immediately felt the changes to his body.
[Vitality + 5]
Sirious gave out a direct notification similar to those from games, to increase the efficiency of information transferring between Daron and her, by using 'Vitality + 5' instead of 'Vitality had been increased by 5.'
"Thank you" After that, Daron dashed towards the exit of the room, and swung open the door. Just as he was about to get away by closing the door, he heard an aged and raspy voice,
"This will be another 30 magic stones"
'Damn it!' Daron cursed as he missed his opportunity to make a break with stolen goods.
"Alright" he could only sigh in his head at the lost opportunity.
