Chapter 6

August 16 Year 9,000. A week passed without anything much happening. In the past week, all Calter and Kence does was train and get all mushy mushy with each other

Calter was currently meditating in the middle of the night in an open area and absorbing the mana in the surrounding. When he absorbed the right amount his body suddenly became a vortex and greedily absorbed the surrounding mana. Some of the mana entered his soul and made the Elemental Seed inside it denser. The Elemental Seed grew a few centimeters again because of the mana rushing to it

The young man opened his eyes and his eyes flashed with a dark light. He started stretching his body and his bones made a popping sound. "Breaking through really feels amazing!" After one made a break through it was often accompanied by an extremely comfortable feeling

"Time to remember all of my memories!" As the speed of his memories rushing to him when he woke up was too much for his brain, he slowed it down. But now, he guesses that his current level was enough to take all that memories

Calter controlled his mana and it travelled on to his brain. The memories of his last life immediately rushed on his mind giving him a bit of a headache. But it was something that the current him can take now

It was like Calter was watching his memory as if it was a movie. The only difference is that it was thousands of time faster than normal. The more memories entered his mind the paler his face become. It was not only because of the sudden influx of memory but because of the things he saw that will happen in the future

"A-A Rank 4 Magician!" Calter breath heavily at that thought. A Rank 4 Magician in the Enchanted Star Realm was just something akin to a myth. The strongest magician in the realm was only a Rank 3 Grand Knight! Even Calter only reached that realm as breaking through in the 4th rank was far harder than going from Magic Apprentice Level 1 to the peak of Grand Knight

Now, he learned that after ten years a Rank 4 Magician from outside will enter the realm he was currently living. That Magician's strength was too powerful and he was even accompanied by many Rank 3 Magician underlings

One must know that in the Enchanted Star Realm a Rank 3 Magician is like a God! There weren't that many of them. For a level 1 Magic Apprentice to the level 9 most people will need almost a year for that. While breaking through to the Magic Warrior Rank if one doesn't have any talent even with their whole lives, they won't break through

While for those who have the ability to, they need at least more than a year to break through! After that every break through would require years! Even for Calter, to reach level 4 in ten years is extremely hard! That's a realm he doesn't even step on before

If he didn't become a Rank 4 Magician before ten years the fate of the people living in the realm won't change. The resources would be plundered while the humans would be enslaved. Even Calter hid for a few years before the Rank 4 Magician killed him!

He can't let that happen! "Strength! I need more strength!" Even to just the magicians in this realm he's like an ant without any power and capability to resist. Much more to that Rank 4 Magician. A deep sense of wanting to gain more power bubbled inside him

"The Inheritance! Yes, I have that!" Calter's eyes lit up. Legends said that many powerful magicians lived in the Enchanted Star Realm before but a war happened and destroyed almost all of the traces of those powerful magicians. Even the realm was greatly damaged and the amount of mana on it plummeted down

There weren't a lot of things that those magicians left that wasn't destroyed by the war or time. But in his past life he got an inheritance. Too bad, he only managed to have it for a few months before the Rank 4 Magician descended in the realm. After that he constantly run without much of a chance to study it

The path of Magic has many paths. Aside from Wizards there are Witches, Warlocks and other kind of magician. Those kind of magicians in terms of power are stronger than a Wizard. They all have something to rely on but it has pros and cons

For Witches and Warlocks in example they always need potion or other material things to unleashed their power. They are limited by the resources they got but in return their spells are far more powerful than a Wizard

In the Inheritance, Calter learned another path of Magician. It doesn't have any name and only required one thing. It said that once he became that kind of magician no one at his level can fight him, even those above his level can be defeated

That path gave the magician tens of times more mana, it even gave protection to soul and even without him doing anything the amount of mana on his body will slowly rise

He only needs one thing, Dungeons Cores!

There are a lot of dungeons in this world that can spawn magic beasts. In the deepest part of the dungeon was its core. If you got or destroy it the dungeon will cease to exist

The more his magic rank grew, the more Dungeon Cores he would need. But that's not an issue! There's an uncountable number of Dungeons in the realm as even the Rank 3 Magicians hadn't fully explored the world

To the Enchanted Star Realm Citizens aside from slightly making the amount of mana in a certain place higher there wasn't much use to it. Rather, they don't know how to use it. But Calter has a way to!

He is fighting with time and Calter immediately went to the clan treasury. Although the cores are not that precious but it was extremely hard to get. It also contained huge amount of mana, magicians until today are constantly trying to figure out a way to use it

He has unlimited access to the Clan's Treasury as the sole descendant. Even the magicians guarding it didn't care to block him from entering. After searching for a while, he saw a pile of dungeon cores

The cores were actually an octagon shape crystal glowing with the huge mana inside it. Calter picked a few and put it on the spatial ring he also got from the treasury. Even if they are a declining clan, they still have a few spatial rings within but the space inside was only a few tens of meters though

After exiting the treasury, he went to one of the Clan's special room. The mana inside that room was at least three times higher than outside. Sadly, it required mana crystals to have that effect with the use of the formation inside

Their Clan can't support a 24/7 usage of the special room. That's one of the reasons they made Calter enter the academy as the mana inside those Magic Towers are denser and after paying the tuition fee, they don't need to pay again for staying inside the tower

The guards bowed respectfully at seeing Calter. "Get out of here, go somewhere else for now!" The guards had a complicated expression on their faces. Their duty is to guard the special room but Calter was ordering then to leave. It put them in a dilemma

"I said leave!" Calter shouted angrily with a dark voice. This forced the guards to obey. Calter has a special position in the Clan after all. Even the Patriarch don't have a choice but to give in to his desires. Seeing that the guards were gone Calter went inside the special room but he didn't activated the formation inside making the amount of mana inside to be the same as the outside

After all, he only needs a safe place where nobody will bother him. He didn't know what kind of effects entering the path of Magician with unknown name will have. For now, Calter just decided to call it core magician

Calter closed the door and sat in the middle area of the room. He waved his hand and one dungeon core appeared on his palm. He took a deep breath before deciding not to waste time and make himself stronger

His mana enveloped the crystal and chanted some words according to the manual he got in the inheritance. He didn't understand the words though and just chanted it. It was a good thing that he memorized how to become a core magician before. Soon, Calter entered a trance state as his mind enter the core

If he was conscious though he will notice that the clouds in the few tens of kilometers around him turned black with occasional lightning. It was like something angered the skies

Calter's mind was assaulted by an intense amount of mana and his body convulsed violently. He gritted his teeth amidst the pain as he withstands the mana assault. Thankfully, his will power is high if not maybe he would succumb to the pain and die

The mana attacked his mind for a whole ten minutes and he was forced to use his soul power so that his mijd won't be destroyed. The same power became like a hard wall that prevented the mana from killing him even then there were a lot of times that he almost loses consciousness. But it didn't end there though. A powerful will came the deepest part of the dungeon core that tried to destroy his soul and make him a living monster

That simple soul pressure almost made him lose consciousness but he suddenly remembered that blue hair and eyed man. He remembered his smile, laugh, and the concern from him. The sincerity, love, and innocence that was too rare and precious in this world where as long as you are powerful you can do anything

If he dies here then just what fate would Kence have? He would probably live his whole life as a lowly servant. The thought of leaving that precious person ignited Calter's willpower

"I WON'T FALL HERE!" He shouted like an angered beast then his soul and willpower slammed at that will that wishes to destroy him. The lightning in the sky turned even more furious, in almost every few second a new lightning would be formed. It was like the heavens were angered

Children cries while those who are powerful can feel how chaotic the mana around became. The powerful magicians had a bad feeling about it. It's like the world itself was angry at something

The clouds became thicker while the wind howled furiously. Some trees were even blown away by the raging wind. At this time Calter's soul was almost fully destroyed

It was smaller than before and was like a flickering dying flame. Even the Elemental seed was destroyed into millions of tiny pieces. Naturally, the Magic Marks that Calter made was also destroyed in the process. The destruction of Elemental Seed was akin to crippling all of Calter's hardwork

If his soul was extinguished then only death would await him. But this time, the now empty of any mana and powerful will crystal entered Calter's forehead and headed inside his spirit sea

The debris of the Elemental Seed was absorbed by the crystal and the small flickering soul went pass through the crystal and rested inside it. Suddenly, like an angry black hole the mana in the surrounding was greedily devoured by the crystal

The mana was compressed time and time again making the mana inside the crystal to become denser and purer. The dense and pure mana then went to nourish and heal Calter's soul

As more mana entered the crystal it slowly changed into black because of the darkness mana's color. In just a few moments due to the powerful mana the soul went back to normal, no! It was even more powerful than before!

Some marks appeared inside the crystal and it was actually the destroyed Magic Marks! But now, the marks became even more mysterious and packed with more power

After the crystal became full it started to unleash mana that filled Calter's body. His skin, muscles, and bones became tougher than before. He even grew a few centimeters in height

His black hair turned even darker and if one saw his eyes it was like a bottomless dark abyss. While he was unconscious a series of transformation was happening on his body without him knowing it
