Chereads / The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss / Chapter 24 - Magical Fundamentals

Chapter 24 - Magical Fundamentals

Calypso then grabs some kind of school chalkboard, and I notice that there are several items from the modern world, but the reason is obvious they've had many heroes before, so it's clear they've brought this technology to this world.

She draws a large circle with 4 smaller circles at each corner's edge.

She puts symbols of the elements in the 4 smaller circles, with a symbol for fire, water, earth, and wind, while in the large circle she draws the symbol of a balance.

"Here, your majesty, these 4 elements are the primordial elements. They are the foundation for the formation of most elements, aside from the special elements and variants of the special elements," she says, tapping the chalk on the board.

"The combination of each primordial element with another requires balance. With the right balance, you can obtain a new element. The same goes for all the other elements and their variants," her explanation starts to catch my attention.

"When you use an element, cast a spell, or create a new spell, it needs to have the perfect balance between mana and the chosen elements. If the elements are not balanced, your result will fail."

"An example of this is..." She creates a purple flame in her hand. I notice how the flame doesn't emanate a single bit of heat. Then, she raises her other hand, and I see the mana gather, but nothing happens.

"This purple flame is a balanced combination of the fire element and the destruction element, forming a perfectly balanced spell. In my other hand, I made a combination of fire and water without any balance, resulting in a failure."

"When you fail, what happens is a consumption of several times the normal magic. The spell that would have previously cost 1 mana, after failing, could cost 10 or even 100 of your mana, which is why you should avoid trying to create spells in the middle of a fight."

"What's the difference between the primordial elements and the normal ones?" She mentioned fire and primordial fire what would differentiate one from the other?

"I'll demonstrate." She extends both hands and starts using magic. In one hand, she has a small flame, while in the other, she has a ball of fire the size of a gymnastic ball.

"These two elements have the same amount of mana," she says.

"I-Impossible?" I'm surprised by this. When I created a shield with pure mana, I noticed how the mana consumption can be high for certain things. Saying these two flames consume the same mana is absurd.

"The primordial elements are the foundation for the creation of other variant elements. These 4 elements have no impurities, making them stronger and more precise, but naturally more dangerous to use."

"And that's why there's the fire element. Normally, the normal elements are weaker derivatives of the primordial elements, which serve as a way to have greater control over the use of the elements."

"If I had used primordial fire in that purple flame, it would have burned the entire room, showing the difference in their uses."

"However, this only applies to spells that don't exist. We can say that the world, fate, and the future are like a book. The moment a spell is created, it is engraved into existence."

"So when someone uses that spell, they won't have the risk of it 'failing.' But not failing doesn't mean you can use it or that it won't pose risks to you..." Calypso's tone on this subject is much more confident than at the beginning.

"Every spell needs balance, whether in its creation or its use. If you put too much mana into a spell, it can fail and explode on you. Many talented mages have died from trying to use spells they couldn't control."

"And the best way to control magic is by using mana sense and magical control."

"What are those?" I don't really know about this subject. I've only used magic instinctively.

"They are passive abilities you unlock when you start to focus on feeling and controlling magic. I'll help your majesty awaken these two passives," she says, walking towards me.

"Okay, and how does it work?" I ask her.

"Normally, it takes a lot of practice, but your majesty has a lot of talent, so there's a faster method."

"Take off your clothes," she says without any filter.

"S-Sure? T-take off my clothes, why?" I'm confused by this sudden request.

"I'll force your body to see and feel the mana. It's better to do this without clothes."

"Is there no other method?" I don't like the idea of undressing like this out of the blue, which is ironic since I didn't mind being naked after fighting that dragon.

"There is, I can open a hole directly in your majesty's head and inject mana into your brain." The idea sounds chilling.

"Is there a reason for it to be like this?" The last method seems horrible.

"Your body needs to comprehend the mana, and the easiest way is to forcefully expose it. That method would kill a common person, but your majesty is anything but common."

"That's why the two main methods involve you being naked or me opening a hole in your head."

"Okay, okay, do whatever you want, it doesn't matter," I say as I start to undress.

"Turn around." I do as she asks, and soon I hear her footsteps approaching. She stands behind me and places one hand on my back near my heart and the other on my aureole, while her tail intertwines with mine.

The feeling of her scaly tail on my smooth one is strange. She's touching the two most sensitive parts of my body, and it's the worst. I noticed that when someone lies, black and green spots start to dirty the colors of their emotions, so I know Calypso has been honest.

"Hyaaa, w-what are you doing?" I feel a strange pain in the areas she's holding.

"? I'm infusing mana into your body. All you need to do is try to feel the mana."

"Tsk...hurry up and get it over with..." Having her do this is so weird, and it's even stranger because she's doing it innocently. I think I'd prefer it to be like with Kaelith, so I could at least blame her.

"Arhg." She starts injecting mana into me. It's painful, like my veins are being forcefully opened to allow the mana to pass through. Her tail squeezes mine tightly, as if it's going to crush it, while she circulates the mana.

"Haaa...haaa, Hiiikkk." I breathe heavily as I feel her mana circulating around my aureole. It hurts. I thought this would be more erotic when she asked me to undress, but it's just painful.

I feel like the mana is destroying my body from the inside out, but I also feel my body regenerating something. I think I understand why common people would die from this.

"I-Is that blood?" I notice blood starting to drip from my nose.

"Don't worry, your majesty, it's normal," Calypso says as she increases the mana in my body.

Blood starts dripping from my nose, and more blood comes out of my mouth. My vision becomes stained with red from the blood coming out of my eyes. If Calypso's color wasn't normal, I'd think she's trying to kill me.

"Cof Courg." I cough up blood. The blood now forms a puddle on the floor. The process is much worse than I thought it would be. I can't believe she wanted to do this directly in my brain.

Finally, the pain starts to subside, and she begins to release me. I start to see some strange particles in the air.

"Wow...your majesty has already obtained the two passives...we've been here for only 2 minutes..." She says in a surprised tone.

"And how long was it supposed to take?" I ask, wiping the blood from my mouth and face with a towel I found lying on her bed. I then start putting my clothes back on, now that they won't get stained with blood.

"2 days." When I hear this, I feel like punching her in the face.

'This bitch wanted to do this to me for 2 straight days?' Would I even have survived that?

"C-Calm down, your majesty, it's not 2 days straight. We would do this every few hours, and it would only be 5 minutes each time," she says, seeing my angry look at her.

"...Okay." That would be more acceptable. I soon realize how magic is quite different from what I thought. I thought it would cover my vision with the ambient mana, but no, I only see some slight particles in the air.

"What your majesty is seeing now is mana. Since you can now see mana, you'll be able to see when spells are cast, but not always, as there are ways to conceal it. Still, being able to see mana is very useful in combat."

"Now, let's go to the arena. There are things there that will help with our lesson," she says as she leaves the room. I follow her.

As we walk through the castle, no matter how accustomed I am, the castle is still beautiful. It's almost unbelievable that they've built this place from scratch in just a few days magic is incredible.

"...Calypso, did you hear that sound?" I hear a strange sound.

"No...do you want to go check it out?" She asks, and I nod. I head towards the sound, turning the corner and stopping in front of a door.

"It's coming from here...did someone get hurt?" It sounds like a moan, but it's a bit strange.

"Calypso, what's in there?"

"I think it's one of the laundry rooms," Calypso replies. The castle's acoustic insulation is very good, so even with my enhanced hearing, it's hard to hear things through the walls.

"Let's go in..." My curiosity wins.

"It's locked..." The doorknob is locked. I pull it with force, breaking the knob and the latch, then open the door. I wish I hadn't seen what I saw.

"Hmmm Ahhhh y-yes your majesty, fuck me hard hmmmm, r-right there, more, more, more, go deeper, faster, right there your majesty" Kaelith masturbating with a large, thick vibrator in front of a mirror.

"Those are my used clothes..." I see her rubbing and sniffing my clothes, and it's disturbing to see my own appearance doing that.

Kaelith soon notices that I've entered.

"Y-YOUR MAJESTY!" She screams in surprise, stopping her movements with her hand, while trying to hide my clothes behind her.

"T-This isn't what it looks like, I was just...j-just checking for poison, yes that's it, you never know if someone tried to poison you," she nods her head affirmatively several times, but it's not at all convincing when she says it with a huge vibrator shoved in her pussy.

"...In my clothes? With a vibrator in your pussy...haaa...never mind, I'm busy...fuck," I leave the room, with Calypso who seems unfazed. I'm sure she's used to this kind of scene.

I soon hear moans again through the broken door. She's so shameless that she started again as soon as I left.

"Let's go, I don't want to hear my own voice saying those stupid things..." I quicken my pace, hoping the rest of the lesson will erase that scene from my mind. I hope that perverted, hopeless woman gets that vibrator stuck in her body.
