Chapter 24 - 23.Magic

as the choice was made by Bathsheba, they could feel their stagnant mana pool within body begin to change from raw mana tainted with the power of the plague baron not only their mana pool, body and blood. some of the blood in Bathsheba body seem to have died as energy was extracted from them and took a dark color and new blood was created that carry some of the neutral elemental within them that resonating with them. they could feel the neutral Elemental magic in the surrounding arar gathering around them condensing into a pure colorless core the size of a watermelon seed next to the heart and vein are branching off into their circular system of their own the entire body intertwining with the nervous system and running down their spinal cord after core was established then they begin to spit of little small chunk of black blood and even more of black blood is being pushed out of every poor of their body

above Bathsheba body one can see the Apparition of the ancestors of rat kin the Plague Baron adorned in noble clothing with vials of deadly viruses hanging from his belt and a cloud of mist surrounding them at all times exuding an aura of decay standing above them getting thinner and thinner than stop. the Apparition of The Plague Baron has fade by a lot but a was still present, as the internal changes have been completed the external changes begin to show

the recently strength in claws and fangs fall out blood flow out and new ones grow to take their place. their gray and black blood dirty fur begin to fall from their body as a clearer white fur begin to grow untangled and natural their murky green eyes take a clearer jade color

the process sound painful but from the perspective of Bathsheba they felt no pain they could only feel a closer residence towards their body and their soul as well the strengthening of their connection with their newly gain endowment the mage root

before Bathsheba could only feel the elemental energy with their soul but with the damage on their soul utilize any of elemental energy at this time could affect the soul and place it in a unstable condition even with the great soul strength they did not risk utilize in any spells or techniques they know and using them with their soul for it could cause them significant harm towards their origin and personality

because of this they never cast a spell with their soul and now with the [Mage Root] and a [Mana Core] if i develop properly i can have more potential in this start than in my last life.

and with a natural core in this life. as i develop in this life with this core in my hand i will developed in endowment and abilities that are compatible with ability on life unlike my artificial cord in my last life

with the passes of time the effects of the evolution start to fade the Apparition that over above Bathsheba start fade back and work in to their body as their eye are trying to focus and their breathing return to normal and the black blood on the ground begin to fade

as Bathsheba eye return to focus they took a deep breath of the air it was the same air of the stone room as before but now they could feel the neutral elemental mana in the air Bathsheba could feel the core in there body resonated with the neutral elemental mana surrounding them and their body being stimulated by the neutral elemental core in your body and exhale they could feel that the mana of this world was more responsive to them they can finally start their path of magic again

Bathsheba was pleased begin to look at their body and see how it has changed their fur was clear and white their eyes were sharper they could see things clearer and teeth and claw sharper and dense than before they can feel they can feel the wind direction through a small stone room and they could feel their heart it beats with mush more strength than before and carry a bit of elemental mana through their veins 

begin to shake themselves and get the grime off their fur they move over to the stagnant pool of potion to get a drink a full couple of mouthfuls of it before going back to a center point of the stone room where there is less grime and dirt on the Foor

the elemental core also known as best core the name best core came from the fact that it is found inside the bodies of beast and monsters the core is all monsters and bloodline be civilized their abilities and harness the elements and the forces of nature to strengthen themselves to grow into more powerful the core of a beast is the striving force for all creatures to evolve into monsters human to have this on the mage root 

the core is key for developing unique organs and abilities that synergize with the body with the false core ahead in my past life i had to do mutilating level of operations to my body for it to for them to function together

the core key for any development in any creature core also comes in different ranks from this lesser core, stable core and greater core they're even higher states in the core form core at that level can be infused with laws but my artificial core could not get to those greater stats and so I could not understand profanities of its existence

in my last life i Rach a bottleneck and the reason at the time was my body after grueling research i found the way to break the limit though my study the beast core and its nature and studying the condensing of elemental core that existing and elemental being i created the false core method that i used to strengthen my body it was flawed but it brought me a greater height.

as for the mage root it is necessary to break the limit of the human consciousness to allow them to understand the elements as one understands themself with how to hold power to cast spell is learned to weave eligible power create ruins and fuses forces into objects it is how one become a mage 

magic is key for one to become a mage all classes in the original world utilize magic and its nature there an allergic to stimulate ones down that is how warrior are made and losing magic to interfere and the wisdom is how they just clerics that follow the gods and the warlock utilize magic as a way to channel their power between the patrons have a contract with and gain access to their power. the power of patrons different from one another but magic is key for any skill to be use

Bathsheba took a deep breath to clear their mind and then begin to envision a simple magic circle for the neutral elemental class the mage light it is a spell utilize to create a dim light cone that can illuminate the surrounding area by 10 ft the magic circle with simple and design but it carries the bed of complexity if weren't for their years of training in their last life granting them plenty of experiencing completing the simple task the only issue is the utilizing the force with their physical body was the only challenge they could do this easily with their eyes closed before but now they have to focus and you a little affinity for magic in such a way it's a challenging itself.

it took much more time than they like to admit for them to actually gather the mana in their body and to look spark to the spell formation and above their above their claw utilizing and focus into a light

the light was dim but bright enough to cause their dark vison to deactivate and illuminating the room their in that decorate this room that faded over time but show the design of the single stone storage room

there is a banner in the room that seem to represent the symbol of the god of Genu a god of herbalism alchemy and necromancy they are known for mystical rituals and their magical experiment 

it is shocking to see that genu was here and also to see that one of his temples have fall is a pretty powerful god they have a lot of temples and influence and not on across the last world that they came across and from what they heard from their old patron that they not easy to deal with giving their wide variety of divine treasures and divine techniques

it took little time for Bathsheba eyes to adjusted and now they can see that room is covered entire cloth clause from banners that at age to little shreds of pieces and there seems to be little maroon color of this religion that the temple one hold this example says to have carried a lot of good things now on the way they can see that this storage room was old grimoires on shells more potion that they could not see in the dark that was hidden behind an runes of concealment in the walls hiding in the section of the storage room that they can see now with the light of mage light to illuminating the room area to see end of the room and on it walls were they can see now that they have evolved 

Bathsheba begins to start making their way up to the shelves working out if there anything in the barrels and cases on the want to see if there anything that will still edible or usable before they go to check out the other room in the temple

Bathsheba begin to scurry to the shelf that was much bigger than them to get the grimoires on the third shelf the first shelf has barrels the second shelf has jar their were plenty of jars with labels on them cannot be seen with dust and dirt that have covered them throughout the passes of time to make note of it and make there way to the first grimoires they could ranch. the first grimoire was old very old but there of them the cover of the grimoires were maroon color the inscription on it has faded by the past of time but there seems to be a preservation spell upon the grimoires that kept them from following apart from the pass of time from the age and the moisture in the air

reaching out their claw they begin to open the grimoire to turn the pages within its to see if there's anything useful in there pass life they have see many tomes and grimoires learn many secret art and techniques formation and spells but if they were to say they have learned everything that will be lie there are many thing that they do not know many worlds have different ways to laws interact with each other magical power can be utilized only to tools or rituals these are the laws must be understood before one can control the powers of the world and go down the path of unique and the powerful

with a bit excitement they open the first grimoire to only be disappointed that it is a tone that dedicated to the growth and development of several plants that can be utilized in medicinal and necromantic art and potions and rituals tone call The Art of Right and Rituals to Maintain life and Communicate with Death.

not a useless grimoire but a interesting one that could be useful later on once I take over the rat nest and make it into a base and then make my own maintain a base in this place and take over the area
